    Match Thread Coventry City - Shrewsbury Town Match Thread - Tuesday 29th Aug

    We haven't had a settled back 4 this season apart from the first 2 games. With so many new players, this doesn't help, but injuries are part and parcel of the game I guess. Still, give it a little more time and I think all will be good. Far too early to be gloom and doom, far too early to be...

    This result against the run of play. Disappointing.

    Andreu (I think?) goes down in the box but penalty appeal turned down.

    McNulty miskicks in front of goal, leading to a goal kick and jeers from the opposing fans.

    Dave Tarpey turned us down

    Pleasantly surprised by the balanced views on this post. Well done, chaps.

    Which VPN do people use for this? I used to use one of the chrome extensions (hola (?)) but it seems hit and miss nowadays.

    Jeez, this is a hard one to predict. Too many false dawns to be positive, too much blind hope to be negative. I'll go for a nervy 1-1.

    Team togetherness

    Many teams punch above their weight. That's the beauty of football. Look at Huddersfield last season. By rights they should have been far closer to the bottom than the top based on income / budget. And Yeovil a few years back, going up to the Championship. Yeah, they're the more extreme...

    Everyone's too happy...

    He's been given free reign here. The chance to build a club - not a team, but a club - top to bottom in his own image. Without wishing to sound ridiculous, he has the chance to become this generation's Jimmy Hill - innovating, changing, creating his own vision. Most managers are hamstrung by the...

    Jordan Willis... would you keep or sell??

    I previously was on the sell side of things, believing he had defeat ingrained into his soul at this club. But maybe I was wrong. Perhaps it is as simple as playing with better players, albeit at a lower overall standard in L2. I guess, as a defender, if you spend most of your time on the back...

    Grimsby highlights

    My phone says that on Sky sports and the BBC website too, even though I'm sat in the Midlands on BT Wi-Fi. Annoying.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Tuesday 8th Aug

    I'm not there so I can't comment on tonight, but it's very early days for the lad. He's only played about 30 mins of pro football.

    Jodi Jones - 100k?

    At the start of the season we finished 8th, I'm pretty sure most of us would have been happy with that - after all, we avoided relegation by an inch. Was the falling away disappointing? Of course. Was the first half of the season the best we've seen in years? Yes. Ultimately Mowbray failed, but...

    Jodi Jones - 100k?

    I've said this before, but I still like Mowbray. Pressley killed my love of football, and Mowbray brought it back . For that, he's okay in my eyes.

    Notts County Racist Chants

    Are we sure it wasn't a 'shite' Leicester City? Not that we are shite, but, you know, the Bantz and all that.

    Ratings v Notts Co

    Don't think so, although that was equally hilarious. There was another a little while after iirc. Perhaps 15 mins into the second half.

    Ratings v Notts Co

    He did pretty much kung-fu kick him just after the ball had gone. The sort of thing you detest if the opposition does it, and absolutely love if your team does.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 5th Aug

    Other things that stood out to me: McNulty never let their keeper kick it out of his hands unopposed. Beavon harried and harried, creating space for the more skilful and speedy players. Grimmer looks like he hates to lose, and also looks like he'll stand up for his teammates in a scrap. And...
