    Shipley / Allen - do they have a future here ?

    Allen - time to move on. Not right for our formation, maybe a level too high for him Shippers - seems to have gone off the rails but has a talent. Maybe a 6 month loan out could do him good.

    Marosi 5 - could have saved at least one of the goals. Distribution not brilliant. Eccles 6 - lad did ok tbf Pask 5 - fell on his arse for first goal. Good athlete but doesn’t look like he reads the game well. McFadzean 6 - did ok. Ostigard 6 - reasonable Mccallum 7 - thought he made...

    Sam Mc was a filler / punt from non-league. You never know how a player is going to turn out until you get them in the camp.

    Player Ratings v Luton

    Wilson -3. He was guilty of flapping like a shot pigeon and faffing around with the ball. Messing around and passing it short to one of our own players who is under pressure is just not very intelligent. Also, taking ages over goal kicks when we are 2-0 down. Get the ball played, you never...

    Player Ratings v Luton

    That was painful. My Mrs is football mad. Really clued up. She’s a Luton fan. The entire team gets 1. I won’t. Not in the mood now.

    https://www.worldfootball.net/attendance/eng-premier-league-1968-1969/1/ Above is a link to our attendances when we had just come off the back of the Jimmy Hill era. Energy and vision and potential fan base all merged. Most of the other clubs on the list have remained a similar size. Just...

    Coventry is one of the biggest cities in the country (between 9th & 20th depending on how you measure). Of the larger cities, pretty much all of them have more than one football club. We also have a huge catchment area of dormitory towns where the nearest football league team is CCFC...

    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    I think a lot of people go to a football match for the experience and atmosphere rather than the “perfect views”; after all, if one wants perfect views they can simply get iFollow on a big screen. I just think the Ricoh is a product of 25 year old design - things have changed. We have a...

    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    True. I just like the idea of 5000 new students each year who may just become CCFC fans (give them a free season ticket in year 1, 50% off in year 2 or 3).

    Uni The offshoots of having sports science students, analysis, physio training etc formed around the team - campus bars the list goes on. The Ricoh - awful.

    Sheaf

    Everyone has opinions on different players and everyone is entitled to them. Sheaf, in my opinion has some talent and in the right set up with the right players around him that suit him would do well. However, on balance, I’ve seen him lose the ball more often than is reasonable through lack...

    Wilson/Marosi

    Marosi pre injury was good enough. I rambled on previously that he needs a stint out on loan to get his confidence back (he won’t want to stick his face in front of a boot / ball like he used to do and that’s perfectly understandable). I At the moment he’s not quite there and a top level...

    Wilson 5 Caught COVID the other week. Couldn’t catch FA this week. Some poor distribution that put us under undue pressure and undermined confidence. DaCosta 5 Drifted infield far too often on defensive duty. Some strange pass selections. Dabo he ain’t. Rose 5 Had a torrid time. I don’t...

    Ratings v Cardiff

    I like Max but today I saw a distinct lack of closing down the opposition keeper and back line. The 5 sub rule should be taken advantage of and used as tactic. I’m not being controversial when I say that sprinting at the keeper to try to win every backpass will give the keeper less time...

    Kasta gone to Hearts

    Sometimes loans work out well. I remember Adebola being totally written off, going on loan, coming back and then being almost useful. Hope Kasta goes and get some games and comes back useful.
