    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 26th Dec

    I’d go Brau and Simms, but he won’t and I do sort of get it. Bidwell will limit us offensively but he’ll likely be asked to hold his shape and keep it tight defensively. Hoping we score 1 or 2, so he can give Brau a go with a bit less pressure. Simms was unlucky to be dropped and I’m not sure...

    As a general point, Premier League experience doesn’t automatically equate to a player being good. I think Woolf has not looked match sharp or comfortable when I’ve seen him so far. Not saying he’s a bad player, but he’s also coming in pretty cold and possibly under confident too.

    Lati hate is OTT. True; he’s had zero minutes and has zero acceleration. But he’s a decent enough CB at this level and he won’t lack commitment either. I am more worried about Woolf next to him. Rest of the team isn’t that weak other than missing a natural winger. Wonder if we’ll see Wright...

    Cov Night Out

    If you want a decent selection of beer I’d incorporate Hops D’Mor in there. Triumph is decent too, but doesn’t massively work with the rest of the pubs listed. I would can the Earl of Mercia, even for a Spoons it’s pretty crap. The Yard tends to have a few craft beers on too - perhaps replace...

    I know I’m in the minority but let’s give Simms 25 mins to make a difference.

    We’re our own worst enemy when we slow play down. On the front foot at pace we’re a different team.

    Domination at the minute. Their WB’s and back 3 look very awkward. Wrights bright start has dimmed, he could have a field day if he’s on iy

    Should amend the EMC song to include something about being offside. On a positive note looks like Wright is having an “on it’ game. Still hope Simms gets decent game time.

    Appreciate its tongue in cheek, but it’s part of the match day experience for a lot of people. Game days for a lot of people now aren’t just about the match. It’s the social side too, which for many includes food and drink. We hear all the time DK is a businessman, and I’m sure with that in...

    Charlton (A)

    NYE plans have completely changed now, so I can make the game, but appreciate it’s sold out. So if anyone has, or knows of, a spare then I would appreciate it!

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    How the hell is stuff like this not causing uproar? Especially in the country it’s actually happening in. ICE agents running roughshod isn’t new, this isn’t an isolated incident as we all know. Madness. I’m sure Trump will tell us the woman arrested has Somalian and Mexican heritage so it’s...

    In the context of where we want to go, it could be argued this is “must win”. Both for the points tally, but also restoring the momentum. I am sure the players are still full of confidence, but a win removes any slight doubt or anxiousness amongst players and fans. If the worst happens we...

    Club Shop

    Anytime I’m at an event at the Arena I can’t help but nip into the shop before or after. I was there last week and I was disappointed a lot of the Christmas jumpers had either gone or only had limited sizes. I found the sizing point to be an issue throughout the shop, most things I looked at...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Missed my planned last train home on Wednesday so had to revert to the 2.5 hour slow one. Was obviously in a bit of a reflective mood as I randomly ended up down a The National rabbit hole and found a really beautiful, sombre song I now can’t stop playing called ‘Once Upon a Poolside’ - it also...

    Things that annoy you

    I don’t care if this one sounds petty - and it’ll absolutely happen tomorrow - blokes going into the toilets at the ground via the Exit door and not the Entrance. Pure laziness and selfishness.

    Video PRESS CONFERENCE | Frank Lampard and Jack Rudoni look ahead to Bristol City. 🎙️

    They are just two fans doing a job most of us would enjoy doing. It’s local radio, not too sure what the expectation is. Clive was loved but he was also clumsy and awkward at times. Best bit of the interview - and way more important - was Rudoni describing the club as a family. Further...

    Slight fear the fickleness of our fans may emerge tomorrow if we don’t start well or even worse, concede. Even worse, as fans get desperate we might even hear the dinosaur “Forward” shout too.

    This is exactly why he can be polarising and frustrating. He has the ability to be an absolute game changer and influence games single handedly. Issue is he only does it once every three/four games.
