    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 26th Apr

    Lampard will have them drilled this week I am sure, and he normally gets a response after a poor performance (Sunderland came a few days after Derby), but Luton is not a happy hunting ground, and can be a difficult place to play, especially as it will be rocking on Saturday.

    Firstly, Collins. Enough is enough. At fault for 2nd, should have kept out their first goal and the powder puff handling for the 3rd. We only started to look dangerous when Dasilva and Patterson came on. Thought BTA looked interested too. Plymouth should have been down to 10 men at 0-0...

    Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Friday 18th Apr

    I would look at putting Rudoni wide left (with license to roam) and bring back Jamie Allen into CM, then decide on Wright or Simms for the CF role. Sure WBA will target our left side if it's Dasilva & Wright again.

    Player Ratings v Hull

    Simms didn't miss any sitters. 2 of his shots were after poweful runs. Both on target, and were half chances at best. The 2nd half chance was fizzed across the box and took a deflection. Easier of the 3 but not guilt-edged. Thought Simms led the line well. The Haji header was the big chance...

    Match Thread Hull City - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 14th Apr

    I thought we were good last night. Hull’s goal was offside, and even the Kasey Palmer chance in the 1st half (their only chance in the first half) should have never been, as Sheaf was taken out seconds before. Simms led the line well, and Wright although far from his best, still looked...

    Pompey player ratings

    He has the best first touch in the squad. Very rarely gives the ball away. Helps us progress the ball forward. Not sure what Frank’’s done but he’s not getting targeted as much by opponents. Improved defensively, and whipping in some sublime crosses.

    Simms needs to play CF, with Haji playing off him. Neither are suited to the lone CF role. MVE and Dasilva were excellent. Collins solid. Nothing to do, but some good distribution. Sheaf was rusty, but was starting to get his rhythm in the last 15. Kitching was a little reckless, but he was...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Portsmouth FC Match Thread - Wednesday 9th Apr

    Assumming Wilson is not ready, I was hoping he'd throw the young lad Bell in. Collins is sure to be a wreck mentally tonight. Bit of a risk.

    Matt Grimes

    Grimes has looked good. Best to imagine how the results would of gone without him playing the last 10 games or so. Hopefully Sheaf starts Weds, as I am looking forward to seeing these two as a partnership

    Overrated players

    I liked Wegerle. He was inconsistent and struck me as needing a lot of "Man Management" to get the best out of him. Gould certainly couldn't do that. Phil Neal got a tune out of him once Gould left during the remainder of that 93-94 season. His performance at Spurs on New Years Day 1994 was...

    Overrated players

    Thought Burrows did all right for us. Solid. After watching his predecessors like Steve Morgan, Paul Edwards, and Kenny Sansom, he was a clear upgrade. Although to be fair to Sansom, he was 33 when he joined us, and his best years were behind him. Out of all those early Big Ron signings I had...

    Overrated players

    I remember him coming off the bench in his 2nd season with ( after being injured for over a year since signing) Within 5 mins he was hobbling off with McCallister shouting dogs abuse at him at the time. He never played again.

    Sheff Utd ratings

    They were a lot better than us last night, but we were the better team back in the reverse fixture in November. Team and formation didn't work, the midfield 3, and Haji down the middle. Wilder prepared his team to nullify all our threats. In hindsight Frank should have switched to a back 5...

    Aidy Boothroyd

    Yes, awful news. I liked the way he spoke when he came in, and thought he was building a decent team (Keogh, King etc). Would of been interesting to see had he not been sacked, if he would of kept us up the following season. Instead we got Andy Thorn

    Match Thread Sheffield United - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 28th Mar

    Haji will be roughed up by the Sheff U CB's. Wilder will make sure of that. Danger man. Haji seems to know how to look after himself though, and his lesser performances are not based on defenders intimidating him from what I've seen.

    Summer Transfer Window

    We are technically a good squad. We showed against Wolves, Spurs (albeit a 2nd string side) and Man U that we can compete. I think players like Dovin, MVE, Torp, Grimes, Sheaf, Wright, Sakamoto and EMC could perform in the Premier League. I am sure Frank would of assessed that before taking the job.

    Ellis simms

    I'm still a fan of Simms, but Wright has the CF shirt now. Remember that Luton game though, they played as front 2 and terrorised The Hatters, both scored too. Simms then picked up a niggle and Wright got crocked for 4 months 2 weeks later. Still think that would be lethal partnership moving...

    Sakamoto

    Not sure I noticed a massive dip in his performances earlier this season. He wasn't at his best early on, but not many players were. Saying that though, great to see him hitting form again.

    Sakamoto

    Finally we have a nasty Centre Back who will seek revenge...Kitching laid one on that Sheff Weds winger (Dolin I thin) who left a stud in Saka's knee earlier in the season at the CBS (given as accidental....)
