    MTK said: Shipley - on for too little time to rate but in the few minutes he had, did what was asked of him and he really cares. You need a bit of that heart sometimes. Which basically says what I was thinking, notwithstanding my choice to then go and rate him

    I missed the first 7 minutes then cracked open the ifollow Burge 7 - I basically have confidence in him now but wasn't sure about a couple of punches from corners Sterling 7 - pretty good and I noticed far more of him in advanced positions - notably leading up to our first goal. For the first...

    Player Ratings - the scores after 12 matches

    Cheers, interesting work! Regarding your fourth point about Bayliss: might expectations dashed lead to giving lower scores than maybe deserved? I rate him highly and enjoy watching him play but get frustrated at his losing the ball instead of laying it off, for example. His failings thus become...

    Burge 7 - inspires confidence in me nowadays Willis 6 - fine Davies 6.5 - solid Hyam 6 - came out of defence too often but not that bad Sterling 7 - looked pretty good and composed on the ball, finally Thomas 6.5 - lively and skilful though obviously the final ball is still lacking Bayliss 6 -...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Portsmouth Match Thread - Tuesday 2nd Oct

    I don't feel as negative as a lot of posters here. I thought there was plenty of sharp, accurate forward passing and a lot of pleasing possession. I agreed with Dietmar Bruck on the commentary - we had certainly got on top of them in the first half. Their goal from a long punt was predictable...

    Match Thread Bristol Rovers v Coventry City match thread Saturday 22 Sep

    Nice, this is how I saw it. I don't like JCH leading our line. He simply isn't good enough at scoring, winning headers or running with the ball. When he plays well it's by being physically awkward and going down easily / cannily. I generally feel confident in Burge but the third goal was NOT...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Blackpool Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Aug

    The ifollow footage is better than last season - far less glitching and freezing. Coventry are not better. That was atrocious against a very limited Blackpool side. It feels to me like Robins has inadvertently spoiled the side and doesn't know what to do about it. Bakayoko didn't seem to offer...

    Player Ratings v Wimbledon

    O'Brien 7 - good saves, some wayward kicking Sterling 5 - all right but don't yet see how he's better than Grimmer Davies 7 - header after header Hyam 7 - block after block Mason 6 - a turbo Kelly-Evans and similarly maybe too small? Ogogo 6 - did all right Doyle 6 - too much shanking it...

    2018-19 Shirt Launch and Evening with Mark Robins - 29th June

    I haven't been through the whole thread so this may have been said before - Looks a lot like last season's. Why not, I suppose? I don't like multiple sponsors on shirts - we'll end up looking like Guingamp or Caen or somesuch here in France. Amateurish, I find. Cool to have the Mind touch.

    EFL Cup

    Why all the suspense, it's doing my nut? Probably just end up being some League One team away.

    ifollow?

    Live matches (46 EFL fixtures only) and available only outside the UK, although I believe techy spods can find a way round that. Well worth it overall, though you might need to test browsers to get the best reception. I found Firefox hopeless. The ifollow live helpline is pretty fast though if...

    TLS - signing off for the season. Exeter Report

    Very, very good. I really enjoyed it. Look after yourself - and hope to hear you on the Nii Lamptey Show again soon.

    Stokes injury

    Warwickhunt is right: Stokes went off for a while after what looked like a collision of big men with arms up in the air. Didn't see whether it was deliberate. He went down immediately, then off the pitch, and yes, that's exactly when Exeter began their brief period of dominance against ten men...

    Hyam

    I seem to remember he had a poor game against Yeovil's fast, skilful forwards. Got dropped for a bit then came back better.

    Allez Allez Allez chant for Wembley?

    Definitely want to learn about this one, living in France and all. Otherwise, give it the Twist and Shout for as long as possible. I love to hear that.

    Match Thread Coventry vs Lincoln Match Thread - 24th April

    May yet make the playoffs. I can't see us getting anything at Cheltenham though because they score plenty and we're shot defensively. I think we're relying on Mansfield screwing up harder than us. Tonight though, two things: why did we not get a penalty for the push/trip on Biamou? Even if...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Crawley Town Match Thread - Saturday 14th Apr

    I love Crawley in the springtime I don't get to many games but drove over from France for that relegation battle in May 2015. Buds on the trees, getting used to the longer evenings again. I left the ground misty eyed, giddy with Maddison's peformance and Nouble's steal on the right wing that...
