    Match Thread Peterborough United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 16th Mar

    You have to take into account that it's 15 months since his debut. I think he's done significantly more than players rated more highly than him have in the past (Conor Thomas, Gael Bigirimana and Ben Stevenson spring to mind). He's only going to get better.

    Bakayoko stat breakdown

    Interestingly, this is now his highest scoring season in league football. Edit: it's not really that interesting.

    Black but not black enough

    Maybe I'm being naive, but I would expect the role to go to the best person for the job. When Idris Elba was being touted for the role of James Bond, traditionally played by a white man, there was no outcry over his colour, because he was seen as a great candidate. Surely the only way to get rid...

    Disgrace. Shows utter contempt to all who hold the club close to their hearts.

    "Matters were raised in an open and at times frank exchange". A frank exchange is code. See below: A spokesman for Dick Cheney told reporters Thursday that the vice president had just engaged in a "frank exchange of views"with Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy. What he meant, it now seems, is that...

    SISU Statement - Article From Sky Sports

    If there is even a grain of truth in some of SISUs claims, then there is a scandal here that should be far bigger than football. Council collusion, blackmail, abuse of public office. I hope the national press picks this up and investigates damn hard.

    SISU Statement - Article From Sky Sports

    This statement from SISU is actually a great way to open the negotiations at Westminster. The Council can hardly be seen to say no to what amounts to a reasonable request.

    SISU Statement - Article From Sky Sports

    I'm more inclined to believe SISU than the Council. I don't believe SISU would be as bold and brash as to lie in such detail.

    Fleetwood Player Ratings

    Bakayoko is a weird one. He finds great goalscoring positions at times without seeming to make much effort to get into them. And sometimes he controls the ball really well, and then couldn't trap a bag of cement. He can be amazingly inconsistent in the space of just a few seconds. He gets a 7...

    Good win. Seems like I go against the grain, because I thought Meyler did well. He's unfit, that's clear, but he headed the ball more than I've seen any of our midfielders do in ages, and he kept rallying the troops like an old head should. I don't think we'd have won without him.

    Imagine if William's makes a mistake that leads to a goal. He'll be written off by certain people instantly. #risetogether

    Sometimes I feel sorry for Burge. Sadly he just can't distribute, come for crosses or concentrate. Three of the most important elements of a keepers' game.

    EFL Update

    The key quote, to me, is the 'ultimate objective of ensuring they continue to play in the city of Coventry on a long term basis'. As I read it, that implies that a short term move is acceptable.

    She looks like she smokes 40 a day, so I imagine she sounds like a husky 1940s film actress.

    If SISUs statement is as aggressive as the club's, then it could be a right shit storm on here tonight.
