Being a season ticket holder doesn't preclude you from being a twat!!

Just wrote on another thread that this inadvertantly might force us into a system that might suit us playing both Kelly & Doyle in the middle as Robins so obviously prefers. If he plays 3 at the back (Willis/ Hyam/ McDonald) with wing backs (DKE/ Shipley or Haynes), he could play Doyle & Kelly...

Good points well put. I agree Kelly is a better footballer, but he doesn't strike me as a leader like Doyle, who even in his mid 30's still covers more ground & than most and makes life easier for the likes of Bayliss. That said this is such an attritional league that both will be needed to...

Not living in Cov at the minute so I don't know if this is the case, but when I did & similar deals were on offer, I never thought they were publicised very well. I mentioned the Accrington deal to my son, who has only been to one game this season, so the type of supporter I guess this deal is...

Disagree on the Kelly v Doyle point. While I agree Doyle was pretty woeful yesterday, I think Doyle himself plays better when Kelly doesn't play. Having another holding midfield player alongside him just isn't necessary in League 2. It might be interesting to see how Kelly & Bayliss might do...

Who is they? Villa & Dublin's agent maybe, but he was still our player and badly advised not to play. It is water under the bridge now, though & I have long since forgiven him for not playing in the Luton match, or later on tapping up Boateng on Villa's behalf. He has a rightful place as one of...

I guess a fair few in that MK figure were Cov fans who had tickets for their part of the ground & in hospitality.

As we are now the play offs look most likely, but I'm not sure I would fancy us to get through them at our first attempt. However, if Robins were to bring in John Akinde & a decent keeper before the deadline, but without selling Willis or Bayliss etc, then I would strongly fancy us for automatic...

I see this being pushed on a few threads. Haven't seen him but his scoring record doesn't look over impressive.I see he hasn't scored for Hearts this season in 12 games. We already have Biamou!!

Without Willis, McDonald's lack of pace is far more likely to be exposed. We are fortunate to have some decent centre backs at the club who link well together, but losing Willis would have a more detrimental effect on the defence as a whole than any one of Davies, McDonald or Hyam.

He is doing well & is certainly better than any striker we had last season, but he is playing in League 2 and is not better than Armstrong, Wilson, Clarke, McGoldrick or King.

Agreed, I was also in that left hand corner and after Houchen made it 2-1 I was carried by the crowd, with my feet not touching the floor until after the final whistle.

On the issue of PL, I went to a football quiz where football before PL seemed not to exist. It really wound me up. Was also thinking after Cyrille died about the time he joined us, that if a similar player of his standing got transferred in the PL now, he would inevitably go to a top 6 club...

Sad news. Was lucky enough to meet & chat with him a couple of times, the most memorable being at a friend's wedding he also attended at the Chesford Grange. Me & a mate hijacked him & reminisced about all things Cov. He entertained & joined in with our memories just like his own, even if he...

I've mentioned him before but John Akinde would be my target. He is a brute of a of a player, and with Barnet going nowhere at the moment they might sell for £100k or so. He has a great record in this league & isn't long back from injury, so probably won't be on the radar of too many other...

Ironically Forest got relegated that season, and after they beat us on the opening day I don't think they won another game until January/ February time.

Andy Blair - Just hope Bayliss doesn't go to Villa like he did.

This was the season after we had lost on penalties at Sheff Utd in Quarter Finals of cup & had a half decent season - Dublin had scored 20 goals etc. We had players like Nilsson, Boateng, Huckerby, Whelan & Dublin, so weren't particularly shit at that time. Can't remember the particular details...

If we stay where we are now (or better) our crowds will gradually rise as the season intensifies. Even though we are having a decent season some of our home games have been pretty grim viewing, with most of our opponents set up to frustrate and spoil, and mixed with other factors that are...
