There is a degree of unwillingness in him as well. There was a couple of times vs Bury where balls were played into the inside right channel and he could have easily beaten their full back to the ball and been through on goal, but didn't get up to speed at all. It was quite peculiar to watch.

I'd agree that it is a bad habit that he's fallen back into. I picked up on it when he made his first appearance at Walsall early on in the season. His footballing brain when defending is a couple of steps behind play, most likely because he's never had to concentrate for prolonged periods on...

Never gonna live that one down :facepalm:

Not least because he has absolutely nothing to do with our club. Cannot fathom why people sing songs like this.

Is the view restriction just because of the steel gurders at the front of the stand?

Why the hate for Adam Barton? Certainly not one of our worst midfielders ever. And to the person who said Jack Cork, please leave.

Just done one of those predictor thingys (put in all the scores for the rest of the season and generate the final table). We went up in 2nd behind Burton, beating Wigan to it on goal difference. Although I hasten to add, we had 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from our final 15 games. Methinks the...

RCC - 7 - some decent saves. Looked much more confident with two centre backs who are good on the ball in front of him. Ricketts - 6 - just feel he's a bit leggy, which I do appreciate at 34(?) he will be. Got caught too square by their winger on a few occasions. Stephens - 7 - looks...

One good game since October? Have a day off.

Speaking to a West Brom fan at work last week, he mentioned that under Mowbray they also used to go through this slight slump at this stage of the season. Said he expects us to pick back up in the next few weeks as that's exectly what they did.

I'm off to Dublin in 3 weeks, got a stag in Magaluf in May (which I've just realised is playoff weekend, so I don't know what to do), France for the Euros for a few days in June and Ibiza for a few days in July.

Peoples' fixation with Pennington seems rather disconcerting. Firstly, he is nothing in the mould of the CB we need. We need a big bully-type defender to add a bit of presence at the back. Secondly, to suggest playing him at RB? He wasn't really very good at RB at all. It would be a horrendous...

1. What is your name and how long have you supported Coventry? My name is Andy and I have supported Coventry for around 16 years now. It mixed in a bit with my glory-hunting schoolboy days of supporting Man Utd, but I realised when I turned 15 that “supporting” a club I had no affinity with was...

So are you denying that Murphy has had a rather awful two games? I'd tend to agree that we need another pace option as it seems he gets in the team almost by default at time. I'm not for one minute suggesting he's a bad player, merely that he may feel a slight comfort in the fact that he is the...

The flip side of course being that we could leave ourselves with too much to do in the run-in because we've dropped points in the mid-season spell. If it pans out as you suggest then hats off, but until then I'm just going to reserve judgement.

Probably wouldn't go as far as to say he is our best player, but he sets our tempo in defending from the front. I like what he offers.

Please start proof reading your posts. I can't make head or tail of that first sentence.

We should have been looking to use the overlap more. Burton are a very compact unit. You need to try and spread their defence. But our wide players only ever had eyes to come into the centre of the pitch, where it was already congested enough.

Take a back seat fella. We lost a game of football. To suggest that no one should stand up for one of your younger players is a bit over the top.
