    CCFC Centre Back Stats Comparison

    Stats are important in learning stuff but it's dangerous to become totally fixated on them as they can't tell you everything. Some things just aren't quantifiable and you need to use your own eyes as well to get the 'feel' of a player's style of play and what that adds/detracts from the team...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree entirely. Although the desire for good governance would see me prefer to have good policies enabled regardless of who puts them in I can see from a party perspective why it's damaging. Why put forward policy now when you can't act upon it. Up to the last year of a sitting government...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Party membership isn't important long term. Tories have much lower membership. Also much of the membership is linked to Unions, so if you go from a left-winger like Corbyn to a more Blairite figure such as Starmer membership was bound to fall. Membership attracts the nutcases at the extremes -...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think the material so far is based on advisors and focus groups rather than Starmer. So far it's basically a message of 'not Jeremy Corbyn', because when asked why didn't you vote Labour and people say 'Jeremy Corbyn' they don't ask why a number of them DID vote for him the previous time...

    Good news for Cov?

    Agree entirely about the houses facing the canal. Having the back gardens as you walk along the canal which are either unkempt or overgrown, or have large fences to provide the owners with some privacy. Having the house front the canal with a road/pavement between allows both residents and...

    Good news for Cov?

    I agree about the entertainment style venue. I thought different floors of it could be used by businesses such as the indoor golf/cocktail bars, karting, escape room, Laser Quest etc as their all things that could suit the way the building is set out. Some might argue that a few of those might...

    Membership shirt

    Could be looked upon as quite an unlucky shirt given we've chosen to play Brentford in it.

    Match Thread Norwich game night

    Not going to go too overboard as expected to lose that game, but still disappointing to concede that second dawdling on the ball, just suprised we didn't do the normal thing of tugging them back, giving away a penalty and a red card. Was surprised to see Osti drop out to bring in Fadz, partly...

    Good news for Cov?

    As I've put above i agree entirely and feel it could become a Brindley Place. Coal vaults as a small venue is pretty decent and if you had an arts centre on the corner of the ring road by J1 it'd be prominent position and draw people in. Our main performing arts centre is right on the outsdie...

    Good news for Cov?

    Depending on how far back you go they did a bit with some office and apartments but didn't lead to anything more. Then a few years ago they turned the place into a conservation zone which pretty much killed any hope of transformation. Could be Coventry's version of Brindley Place.

    Good news for Cov?

    Agree about the pavilion. Also find the layout a bit out. Would make far more sense to create a view throuogh from Croft road to New Union St, probably with a view of Christchurch from the Croft rd end to draw people in. Even more so if IKEA becomes that arts centre.

    High energy Cov players

    Well he did use up a lot of energy for the club. We had to constantly have the lights on in the physio room.

    Match Thread U23 v Forest

    Were Forest playing a lot of youngsters? They're top of the table whereas we're near the bottom.

    But if he starts the nutters will push even harder to get things speeded up, esp if infections don't rise overnight after lockdown is eased. And once again i fer he'd pander to them. He filled the party with them and now he's got to keep them onside. The restaunt business wants "Eat Out to Help...

    You may be right, but even so the way it's said make it seems like if he lifts restrictions in places he do everything he can to avoid putting those restrictions back in place even if cases start to rise again. If that happens he needs to be able to have the scope to reverse them. What he's done...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Same with Trump. Basically three word slogans seem to be the way to go. "Yes We Can" "Get Brexit Done" "Lock Her Up" "Build The Wall" So instead of "For The Many Not The few" could just be "For Us All"

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm assuming you're talking about the tactics rather than the corruption there... But it's definitely where other parties on the left need to improve - winning election. Don't bother with careful policy decisions and detail, just get a couple of catchy slogans and headliners, stick to...
