    Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

    Dreadful. We have just played two of the worst teams (Sheffield Wednesday aside) when you look at their injuries and been crap overall. Another conceded header from a cross then game over. How many times are we going to let in headers from crosses? Cannot get shots on target most of the time...

    Why should he. They still owe us for all the seats they trashed at Highfield Rd

    Championship thread 23/24

    Lets be honest, we are not doing great. Apart from Leicester who we probably should have got at least a point against, we have played a lot of the poorer teams, or teams who were not in the groove like Middlesborough and Swansea. Game for game, I think we are about six points off last year with...

    Set pieces

    I read the book by the weird American guy we had on the Board (name escapes me). He said fans get really excited when a team gets a corner but it almost never results in a goal. Also said goalies should just stay in the middle and will save more penalties? Did everything by statistics.

    Depends on the keeper. Whomever takes them should bomb them in if they are in swingers. Need to vary it more with short corners. At the other end, we were brilliant at defending them last year. We are rubbish at defending crosses this year.

    He was pushed before the goal which put him enough off balance to give the scorer an advantage. I would say it was subtle but still a foul, not a coming together or shoulder to shoulder. Just because shit refs often never give it as a foul does not mean it was not a foul. MR who is experienced...

    I think if we were 3-0 up with ten minutes to go, you might see one of the youngsters on. Trouble is doesn't happen very often

    Or it may be we have to wait and see if he comes back as good or if he breaks down again like Jodi Jones. Would be foolish to commit too early or leave it too late. A crucial balancing act

    We use them in the cups and that usually goes well

    Pep Guardiola said it often takes at least a year for a player to adjust to a new country. An ex Chelsea manager, (they change so often) said 15 months.

    Did robins know they changed formation?

    MR and his management team are the most successful we have had in years, and possibly the most successful ever over a period of time. There are so many football geniuses on here who know better than them. Posters have been complaining about their substitutions every time we don't win a game...

    Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Oct

    Bristol had injuries and illness but we could not exploit that. Daylight robbery. Fadz error 1-0 to them. However there was a nudge on Fadz before the goal. Ref shit again especially missing that and when Simms was pushed in the area. Possibly a pen. Our defending straight ahead crosses is...

    The ones who got away

    Thompson, another one who said he should not have moved to Coventry. So many players said that, you wonder what the atmosphere was like at the club. The American guy who wrote the book, Saying Up said the year we were relegated on national Radio, that he thought we would go down, as Strachan was...

    Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Oct

    Bit like us Bristol, you never know which team will show up. Don't want a repeat of Cardiff and need to keep it tight at the back. Was tempted to say early doors (what is wrong with me?). They seem to think they will win easily, although their record recently has not been great. Need to get our...

    Anyone with Guinea-Bissauan ancestry?

    This has got to be good news for us as we now have a relationship with the players, the international management and the agents plus possibly brownie points. Doing it for nothing shows real positive engagement and probably that he is a really good bloke.

    Yes a transformative player for us. The missing link in midfield. How did we manage to lose such an important player?

    The ones who got away

    My brother knew quite a few people in the club back in the day. Despite the claims from Robins and Clough in public, the story my brother heard is that Robins got cold feet as Clough wanted complete control of the club. By that, I understand Clough wanted more control than Robins was prepared to...

    Clive used to be useless. I used to shit myself every time the opposition had the ball in our half as I thought they were sure to score. Getting teams wrong all the time was awful but has now become a part of his charm, especially as he has infected Oggy with the same problem. I was greatly...
