    Match Thread Derby Match Thread

    Take a look at the highlights uploaded on another thread here. Needs to be freeze framed for clarity but it doesn't look a definite offside to me, even though Walker's body language suggested he thought he was offside.

    Positives

    Would be nice to get the first goal a bit more often, but a definite positive carried over from last season is the self belief in the team that we are still in the game when we do go behind.

    Formation switching and Brandon Mason

    I trust Robins' judgement. If he thinks he's not good enough then that's fine by me.

    Paul Cook

    This is a pointless thread. There is not a chance in hell that MR will be sacked. Not only that, but what would we do with the flag with MR wearing the burger king crown?

    New ground: 10 unsuccessful modern stadium moves

    It is common sense for both CCFC and Wasps to have us playing at the Ricoh again, but common sense has played little part in the circumstances that have brought us here. I think we all hope that SISU have some cunning masterplan, whereby staying at St Andrews while games are BCD puts Wasps in a...

    Memories

    Pickering played instead of Darby so even more defensive!! I've got a great reference book from our days in the top division by Jim Brown, detailing the teams that played (for and against) and a brief review of the match. This one read ''An excellent City performance, lacking only in goals. A...

    Memories

    Not only survived that season but were comfortable mid table if I remember right. That season Atherton and Babb were as good a centre back combination the club has had, while Ndlovu was at his peak. Besides that though given Oggy & Borrows were at the veteran stage, the rest of that team was not...

    Green shoots

    True, but please God we never have another Peter Ramage, Darius Henderson/ Stephen Hunt transfer window!

    If he had been that we would never have had a sniff at signing him

    Investment

    Their owner will probably buy their training ground for £100m!!

    Lee Camp

    Why were Blues so happy to release him then? Doesn't feel comfortable being in agreement with cc84cov but the Blues fans I know don't rate him either. He did well in the pens against us last season but in the lead up to those matches the Blues fans saw him as very poor & were happy to be rid of...

    Video Watford v Coventry City highlights

    There are faults all over the place. McCallum got done for the 1st & 3rd goals. O'Hare was slow closing down their player for the 3rd so that he was in the penalty area when he raised his arm. Not sure who but someone vacated their zone for the free header for the corner for the 2nd. Could...

    Rose hasn't been the player he was last season but that doesn't mean he can't be that player again. Because of his injury he didn't really have a pre season, and unfortunately he has effectively been having his pre season in competitive Championship games. I rate all of our defenders...

    Marosi and penalties

    Not gonna criticise Marosi for not saving penalties but i do need to see Watford's 1st goal again. After their lad had beaten McCallum and got to the byline I thought he crossed it close enough for Marosi to dive out and collect the cross. Marosi was positioned at his near post in the perfect...

    International Break

    Depends whether he actually plays though, as I don't think he is a starter for Norway.

    Unsettled Squad

    McCallum?

    Discipline

    The QPR pen was McFadzean unnecessarily diving in recklessly on their player towards the side of the penalty area. Hamer has also twice had to be taken off to save him being sent off. We still won anyway against Reading but against Bristol City it definitely helped lead to them taking back...

    Biamou still has lots to offer

    Where does all this bomb squad talk come from? Does such a thing exist, or is it just a lazy term being used for players that are just presently out of favour? Are they training on their own at the Memorial Park like McAllister's original bomb squad? Now they were a bomb squad, as they were...
