    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    They were awful in the match in the autumn. We were only marginally better but we are a much better organised team now, with more firepower up front. They have also improved. Don't care as long as we win. 1-0 to us. Westbrook plays a blinder, all the scouts are watching, his price doubles and...

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    also the rules posted earlier mention the % that can be allocated to the away team, but not any location iirc? As a gesture we say to B'ham, you can have >15% as is allowed.

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Imagine it reverse. How would you react if we were the landlords and B'ham drawn at home?

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Get real. Do you think B'ham fans would tolerate being in the away end?

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Most probably in the original contract. And the draw on one hand and who sits at which end of the stadium on the other, are utterly unconnected

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Not really. If you have VAR then use it. It is allegedly better, so if there were contentious decisions - like at Watford - that were not overturned because VAR not used, there would be a legitimate outcry. Some justice is better than no justice at all

    Did not look up to the wing back role imho on limited viewing admittedly. Incidentally given where Swindon are, maybe that wasn't a bad friendly to play

    We need to see Pask in a proper competitive match (he did play at Swindon in the friendly and looked ok to me). Of the three McFadz is the oldest and so is the most obvious choice to make way but it could just as easily be Hyam. I'd always keep Rose.

    Goalie tick Back 3 tick midfield 4 tick Front 3 Perm two from Shipley, Allen, Westbrooke, O'Hare, and one from Godden or Baka I'd consider resting the front three as a block after their recent efforts. League comes first

    Oh, and there is now no question to which Bright is the answer. Lovely footballer, very creative, but undisciplined. Walsh, Allen, O'Hara, Shipley and Westbrooke are all much more disciplined and playing for the team. Much as I like watching a Dandy Dan like Bright, and yes he did win games for...

    Cash flow is an issue to be reckoned with, so off loading may not free up resources, just pay the bills. Don't want to be Bury - promoted and kerplonk! So questions before we rush in. 1. When is Jobello back? And does he fit the current shape? 2. Are any of the Under 23's strong enough for the...

    1968? We came from behind to beat Chelsea, Gerry Baker scored from an exquisite cross from the man pictured to the left. Coventry's slowest ever winger, Ernie Hannigan with the winner. George Hudson playing for Tranmere.

    Fleetwood goal chalked off so back to 5th. And yes Bianca Westwood can barely contain her disappointment at Wycombe's demise
