    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    Werder Bremen last week and Stoke today bypassed our midfield at will. Then our backline is under pressure and forced to scramble. Our forward players are also left on an island with no linkup play from back to front that Stoke and Werder showed. These are all warning signs we must heed and need...

    Bidwell appreciation

    Sadly JDS is not a good option either. I've been crying out for better defensive options. Still 20 days left in the window for a CM and defender. Fingers crossed!

    You know I think the whole team was drinking the same Kool Aid as the pundits and thinking they could just show up and get the 3 points. Really hope this is the rocket up the arse they need to wake up and work hard for every point. MR better watch his back as well or Dr. Roberts/DK may start...

    Video Victor Torp and Mark Robins reflect on Coventry City's defeat against Stoke City 🎙️

    Torp is not as eloquent as I would have expected him to be. Seemed lost for words and obviously shocked at the outcome.

    I think I had 12 instead of 11 in my lineup (my bad)...the slashes were for alternate options....in any case every extra player helps especially if the ref favours the other team

    Thought he played in midfield last season on occasion. Not saying he's great, but Allen is not much better and possibly worse.

    Don't want to seem like I'm overreacting, but I think Binks and Kitching might need to start next game. Was less than impressed with Thomas' suicidal passes. Allen surely has to be dropped in favor of Eccles or Sheaf. Torp has to make way for Palmer/Lati. Wright in place of EMC. Also was...

    Think Binks gets a 6 also. Otherwise I may agree with you.

    I really don't care about the cup competitions this season and we need to focus on the league. We need to win games like this if we want a top 6 finish. Certainly didn't look like a top 6 team today. Stoke looked much much better than us and more fluid.

    We didn't really lay a glove on them. The first half we were totally overrun. We were a little better in the second half, but the performance overall was poor. Concerns over midfield still not addressed and backline looked suspect. Need to address it in this window. Stoke deserved the win on the...

    The entire team stayed back and didn't challenge the shot..surprised Bidwell didn't do anything...Allen was also pedestrian. Dovin should have done better..it wasn't a rocket

    Oxford beat Norwich 2-0. If we lose next week, it;'s going to look bad. Another slow start.

    This was on MR. Poor lineup to start the game. EMC can only play from the bench. Wright to start the next match. Allen and Torp need to be dropped. Sheaf/Eccles and Palmer or Lati must start. We need another CM for sure.

    This is so typical for us to lose a game we were expected to win. I don't know what Allen has done to serve staying on the pitch despite playing better in the second half. Just too lightweight for me
