Big lumps are in demand

The only way to score with hoofball is from free kicks and corners. So in that respect a little un that harries a defender into a mistake is just as effective. But you still need someone who is capable of putting the ball in the back of the net, be he big small fat thin old young.....

I understand the sentiments of the OP. As a group Cov people do like to have a good old moan. But you cannot get away from the fact that there are 8000 people sticking with the team despite the dross. They aren't going just to have a go at the players. But it is impossible to cheer hoofball...

Fleetwood have 46 points from 27 games. that is equal to 30 points from 19 games. ie the number of points we need to be safe. So we have to be as good as Fleetwood for the entire rest of the season to stay up.

and coventry next season

Of course he was going to bring players in. for a start off a few loans went back. whether the new lads are better remains to be seen.

To be fair it's not the defence that's been the problem. it's goals.

It wasn't just rain it was the wind as well. We were playing into the wind first half and I'm surprised our defenders could see anything at all. I guessed it would be a different story second half. We weren't in the uncovered area and we could see all the city fans were drenched. But they didn't...

The 'experts' talk about coaching but as far as I can see there is no such thing. No manager ever wants to work with the shit players/backroom staff he inherits he always wants to bring in his own shit players/backroom staff. It is just a merry go round.

My expectation is that the players brought in will be only as good as or marginally better than those that have got us in this position. The bottom line is - do SISU want to stay up or not. If they do we will see a quality striker arrive. (For this level) If not they will expect Slade to...

There is still hope because there are four teams as bad as us. But now even if we win our game in hand we stay in the bottom two. Our improvement depends on us getting better players in with the other teams around us not realising they need to strengthen as well. I presume they will be trying...

It has been shown time and again that you only get something out of loanees if they are hoping to get a contract. I cannot see how you can expect a load of loanees to come in and fight for you, which is what you need. It is all very well Slade reverting to muscle and hoof but when he has a...

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that this thread keeps going so long. Who, in their right minds, would offer SISU anything like what they would be prepared to take?

as has been shown time and again - it doesn't matter one iota what the manager says in his press conferences. It is how the players respond on the pitch after a week of training that matters. Quite frankly he is giving himself an excuse before he even starts.

going by previous seasons we need about 50 points to be safe. That is 31 points from 23 games. say 9 wins and a few draws. The bottom 8 are all a bit crap so there will be wins along the way from those, but where can we pick up points elsewhere? There are still enough games to get back to...

You have to protest when it will have most impact. Why do you think there are so many strikes this week?

I'd keep any player who doesn't take losing lightly and gives everything on the pitch, so that's .......... They need to deserve to be L1 players

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these are paid more than our strikers.

By and large we haven't conceded a lot of goals this season, which makes the last few results seem odd. I hope they can get back to the mean defence for this game and at least give us a chance.

Exactly - the club stated it so it must be true. Maybe what we offered was rubbish.
