    Weather looks like it could be a factor later - wet and windy. Tanganga is a decent CB but poor on the ball, - McGuinness isn’t much better. So can see them going direct to avoid mistakes, especially against a press. Campbell isn’t the same threat as Moore in that sense, so barring another...

    New Fan Village

    No Fan Village tonight is there? Unless I missed it somewhere? I even read the Match Day Guide, which I didn’t even know was a thing until yesterday! I’ve had a ST for over 25 years!

    The Enemy at CBS

    Going to assume there’s no wiggle room to move the minutes silence before they play WLADITT live, so it’s definitely going to be in the wrong order and seem pretty disjointed. Shame it has fallen on the same day. Even the PA rendition isn’t going to get much time between silence and KO -...

    Sakamoto

    He’s always been technically great on the balls and has excellent awareness with a football brain - look at his positioning and anticipation, in both directions. Unfairly criticised on here as his offensive stats weren’t good enough, but it’s a prime example of stats not being everything. I’d...

    Like most of our fans, I strongly, strongly dislike Sheffield Utd. Horrible club with a tosser of a manager and a group of arrogant players. Combine that with the shit result and performance on Friday, plus the whole Enemy thing - and it should make for a tremendous atmosphere. I personally...

    Our second string defence is officially wank.

    Surprising team but still more than enough to win. Fast attack v slow defence should have one winner, as long as we set out to play quick and on the front foot.

    Two seasons ago this logic was solid. These days unfortunately he isn’t quite the same player. As always he’ll be reliable enough, but he isn’t that much ahead of JDS defensively to warrant dropping him in his place. We’ll lose an attacking threat if so too, frustrating in a game I want to see...

    I also witnessed a strike force consisting of Andre Wright and Dan Agyei, that’s immediate super fan territory. Crewe just brings back memories of that horrendous McSheffrey free kick in the last few minutes of the JPT (I think) second leg where we were desperate for a goal.

    Not really “fans” if they couldn’t be arsed when we were shit though, were they. Fans now sure, and that’s great - love a full arena and seeing City shirts everywhere. But where can I claim my Super Fan badge?

    Rushworth for England?

    Yea agreed, makes it even more annoying. But if we go up we’ll sign him, we’ll have the funds and unless he’s guaranteed #1 at Brighton he likely wants it too. And if not, Dovin was making a case for becoming the best keeper in the league before that wanker injured him.

    Match Thread Wrexham AFC - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 31st Oct

    Really not worried about this on Friday. It isn’t a blind arrogance, it’s based on how good we can be, our momentum, confidence and the fact we even won while being pretty poor against a way better team (than Wrexhamon Saturday. Wrexham have a decent team, but have a number of injuries and a...

    After Match ‘Entertainment’

    The singer helped the atmosphere tbh. Got people singing and helped with the jovial vibe. I stood in ear shot but where I could happily have a conversation. Concourse is big enough to use the space to suit you. They’re obviously testing to see what works best and the concourse certainly has...

    Said it before Portsmouth and we changed everything, but I’m going to say it again; we shouldn’t change our team or tactics for other teams. They should for us. Unless of course it suits us more to do so. We have the momentum and confidence and opposing teams will fear us. Strongest tactics...

    Watford Player Ratings

    Crazy in a game we won 3-1 our keeper seems to be the majority vote for MotM so far. Rushworth, Sakamoto, BTA and Allen (mostly for his off the ball work) deserve mentions. Everyone else was generally anonymous or below par. Playing poorly and winning is the sign of a promotion team.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    If Boro, Sheff U and Birmingham all lose, on top of our win, that’s a near perfect set of results. (and Stoke win which I personally like too, as I actually still want MR to lose even though he isn’t our manager, heresy I know)

    This is better. Boring but fine. Feel for Simms, he’s making the run every time, but nobody fancies the pass!

    Time to wake up. Other than 10 minutes in the second half we haven’t controlled this.
