    Match Thread Coventry City v St Pauli (Friendly) - Sat 2 Aug 3:30 PM

    Unpopular view this, but I would much rather Sheaf goes before end of window than MVE. Surprised to be typing this, as a couple of years ago he was one of the best defensive midfielders in the division. I just see our midfield being very pedestrian indeed with him and Grimes. Feel we are...

    Rushworth will do very well for us... glad this has happened a week before the real deal.

    We need Sakamoto to teach Simms about timing when jumping for headers.... he has won a couple this half which he had no right to based on his size....

    Me too - scarred for life... especially as I was in with the home fans, close to the away end. Got fucking drenched, abuse from own fans, suspicion from Brizzle fans (didn't know it was the family enclosure till I got in there!). Saw possibly the worst ever 'performance' from a full back ever...

    Matchday Rewind Arsenal 0 - 3 Coventry City | Sat, 14 Aug, 1993

    Despite being in the seated area for our fans, there was a bit of a surge behind me when the 3rd went in. I punched the air in celebration, but a shove in the back meant I accidentally gave one of our fans an uppercut to the jaw! Luckily for me he had a sense of humour...

    Wright

    Wright isn't the problem: Simms is. He has all the attributes but often puts in timid performances. Sell him, get the right man alongside Wright (!), I'm confident Wright would get 20 odd goals for us again.

    Schadenfreude

    Live in Exmouth, train journey to Plymouth is lovely and I find Plymouth folk friendly. Disappointed they went. Oh well, at least we don't have to listen to that dreadful 'Janners' song next season!!

    Like it! BTW, are you implying he should be part of a bomb squad in the Summer :)

    Reminds me of Wile e Coyote from Road Runner cartoon - wonder which 'Acme' inventions we could use to keep him close to his line?

    For the older fans here

    Am the wrong side of 50, rarely go to games now and get over disappointing results quickly. Fundraiser for RSPB so work nearly all weekends. These days I would rather go to beautiful places / gardens than a football match, so I am a follower not a supporter now really. Just find the matchday...

    Brad Collins

    Perhaps a protest is called for at Luton: our fans smuggle in as many poppadums as possible and wave them up in the air when Collins flaps and misses the ball then launch them at him like frisbees when he punches the ground in frustration when the ball is in our net yet again. Proper tribute to...

    Brad Collins

    Can't believe some stuff I have read on here... Would love to hear what Ben Wilson has to say about playing second fiddle to Collins ATM. I just think Collins is one of those keepers who is fine initially (he does make some impressive saves sometimes). But then if he makes a couple of errors...

    If Eccles is fit enough, I would go 442 with him on the right and drop Sakamoto. Tatsu is really good in patches (e.g. he was v Stoke), but when he isn't, he is too peripheral

    Wouldn't select Binks v this lot, asking for trouble I would pick Simms despite him carrying an injury: we are going to need as many players who are good in the air as possible for defending set pieces etc. I would definitely pick Sheaf ahead of Allen for this one We were fair too nice v...

    Know what you mean but the 1st was dire too: where the fuck were Kitching and Lati!!?? It was Bidwell and Grimes as central defenders!

    Haji Wright was amazing v Sunderland: if he can produce anything like that today, think we will win :) TBH Simms played well v Hull (received unfair criticism as usual), those 2 turn up today we should be fine despite any other frailties

    Since an abject performance (and he certainly wasn't alone) away to Portsmouth, he has improved steadily and currently deserves to start ahead of Bidwell.
