So the 3 worst players in our 137 year history were all in the last 5 years? That's an unlikely occurrence. The reality is that the three you name were way better than some of the dross we've had (even in the last 5 years if that's when history starts). All had their good moments in skyblue.

Yes, missed it on walk back to car but assumed somebody had made them choke on their Horlicks...

Irritated by the phone-in after the game; most of the callers claimed to have been supporters since God was a boy (as if that gives them greater relevance) but none of them were going to the games at SA. They might have an "interest" in CCFC, they might be "fans", but they are clearly not...

Their best "flair" player, Curtis, didn't show anything last night, but maybe we just dealt with him well. He was a nightmare down at Fratton Park. It's about doing what you have to do to get out of this league, and Pompey are doing pretty well with their style (as were Wycombe until recently...

Guy near me on Saturday mouthing off (loudly) that Baka was a piece of shit and the worst player he'd ever seen in a City shirt. And after he'd given us the lead after 2 minutes. Unbelievable.

Seriously? Do you think Robins wouldn't notice if Sam was taking it easy? Do you think that Robins would find that acceptable? More likely the natural fluctuations in form of a 19 year old in his first full season of league football. His performances recently haven't been poor, he just hasn't...

It's more about football philosophy than budget, Accrington in their promotion season were another example, small budget but played good tidy football. My assumption was that you couldn't have seen the Rochdale game if you thought they played like Pompey - logical rather than lazy. But if you...

Agreed - O'hare looked out on his feet and was the obvious candidate to come off, whilst Allen was still going strong. But then what do we know? But I would still have brought Pask on to replace him for the last 5 minutes to handle the aerial assault.

If you watched the Rochdale game at SA (which I assume you didn't) you will know that they attempted to play the ball from the back (on the ground) more than any other team we've seen this season, very similar to us but not as good at it. Lazy stereotype.

Weaker, stronger - difficult to say. Personally I think it is stronger due to the larger number of decent (but not outstanding) teams in the top half. Any of the top 6 could conceivably be champions, and any of them could conceivably miss out on playoffs. Any team from 11th upwards (Burton) will...

Yes, could be true. Our postman said somebody in town told him the same, and he thinks it was somebody in the pub told the man in town. And it was Jim the gateman's dog that told the man in the pub. Or, as you say, it might just be bollocks.

I think that will be a continuing problem with the better teams targetting Mason, especially if their wide players have height (it's almost the same as in the Kelly-Evans days, but not quite as extreme). When you've got Dabo doing superman impressions on the other side it's obvious they will see...

Also notable from Tuesday, Marosi finally got the message at halftime that pinging the ball at Mason's head was not working and thus he started going longer. One of his standard out-balls usually is to McCallum's head, which McCallum wins/controls more often than not. Just shows how using...

No problem, agree there is no need for that. I should have added that Mason is a decent back-up and we are indeed lucky to have them both.

Nobody's slating him. He is an ok full back. McCallum is on a different level, for all the reasons I mentioned.

Tuesday night's performance by Mason showed why Robins selects McCallum every time that he is fit and eligible. He offers far more physicality and attacking intent, is way better in the air, and is at least as good as Mason defending. It's a no brainer when playing with wingbacks. All of Mason's...

Agreed, one was clearly visible to right of goal (as we looked at it). Not sure if there were others.

There wasn't a Ticketfast option (print at home), there never is for away games. Post or collect only.

He might finally have got it, but inaccurate as usual - Sam made his league debut in December 2018... its not difficult to check.

Not in the "Coventry City General Chat" forum she doesn't.
