    Match Thread Walsall - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 3rd Oct

    I reckon we'll see both DKE's together for the first time. Wonder if identical twins have ever played together in an English pro game? Could be an interesting story for SKY on what is a quiet football night

    Is There Anything SISU Could Do?

    To some extent they are doing something right but giving Robins the power to do things his way in the hope that he brings success Fisher has talked in the past of not wanting to sell at 'the bottom of the cycle' so perhaps a sale is more likely if we manage to get promoted

    Probably not a massive surprise. When our number two had his health problems we went outside and brought in the guy from Chelsea Academy instead of asking Nicky Eaden to step up

    Willis - ball watching.

    When all's said and done it was a terrific goal I was right in line with it and as it came over I'd have given you 100/1 against the guy scoring with a first time shot If one of our players had scored it we wouldn't be saying that it was the fault of an opposing defender

    We're walking this league: shots stats prove it

    Tbh go back a few weeks and you'll find plenty on here not fancying The Duke and talking about him being lazy when it's now obvious that he wasn't match fit Once he scored the first it's encouraged him to have a pop more often - the best example being the goal against Swindon on Tuesday All...

    Barnet

    Very useful thanks. Been to your ground for a few U23 and U18 games, a nice stadium with good facilities and training pitches Agree about parking though. If it's anywhere near capacity it will be a nightmare locally So sorry to hear about Tarpey getting injured so soon after making the big step...

    Recruiting Academy Scouts

    Tbh this is the way even most Premier League teams operate Anyone who's run a kids team with one or two outstanding boys will have regular approaches from scouts trying to get the lad to come to his club's training sessions for assessment The scout is usually paid on results with payments due...

    That would be ideal. We also have Ben Stevenson back. He is possibly the closest to Tony Andreu in style and scored a few goals last season

    Both DKE boys, Pontichelli, Maycock and Shipley will all feature in the coming weeks. Football at this level is attritional and players will pick up knocks and need resting as we are scheduled to play twice a week now for the next few months

    I thought Devon KE tired as the game went on. It was pretty physical and he never hides from that side but it was only his second ever men's League game with the first on Saturday As I watched I was thinking Robins might have subbed him if he'd had someone on the bench who could fill the role...

    Jones in EFL Team Of The Week again

    A big part of the reason for the improvement is that he's year older and stronger. Add that to the experience gained under Mark Robins who has encouraged him and taught some of the tricks of the trade and you have the answer No wonder it's so hard for kids to break through now. Too many people...

    Barnet

    Very nice new ground but very limited parking locally It was originally developed for local non League side Wealdstone but I think they had financial issues and eventually Barnet took it over and developed it themselves There is a clubhouse but it's quite small so anyone wanting a pre or post...

    Ponticelli and Dion KE both came off at HT today in the U23 game. Wouldn't be surprised to see both on the bench at Swindon tomorrow

    Bobby Gould not happy!

    Tbh I had to smile listening to him. It reminded me of listening to an old boy in the pub talking about how much better things were 'in his day' He hadn't done any preparation and had no idea who any of our players were until his co-commentators told him

    Bobby Gould not happy!

    I actually listened to the whole thing as I couldn't get to the game As others have said Gouldy comes across as a bloke who's been down the pub prior to the game ranting when things aren't going well in the first half then once things improved 2nd half we can take on the world His negative...
