    On the whole I agree about Oggy making sense, but you can tell he isn't a fan of keepers with the ball at their feet. It's the thing about ex-pros offering their 'expert' advice. They offer insight into how things might be in training, dressing rooms etc but tactically it depends on how long...

    Better make sure you ask for a structurally reinforced taxi when you order it then ;)

    Injury thread 2020-2021

    Hip injuries can be notoriously difficult to predict recovery. Sometimes people respond much quicker than anticipated, others take much longer. It can look good then flare up without warning. Lamela was supposed to be out for two weeks with a hip injury and he was out for a year and still having...

    Wilson on the move

    I really doubt Wilson would be making a decision based upon local rivalries. He'll be doing it based on length of contract, wages and likelihood of remaining a PL club to prevent the same upheaval he's going through now. Had B'mouth stayed up he'd have stayed there. One thing I would suggest...

    Wilson on the move

    But we initially signed them on reasonably long contracts. No you can argue we didn't try hard enough to get them to resign until it was too late (I was of the impression we first began trying to convince them to stay much earlier than that. The point stated was that we signed these players and...

    Council meeting - 18/8

    Could be factoring in things like media covering it including TV, which means technicians, analysts, journalists etc having to come here. They will be eating, drinking and possibly staying in hotels etc. It's not just the crowds that generate income.

    Council meeting - 18/8

    People talk about the CoC thing and the embarassment but totally ignore that last year when we were playing Birmingham Coventry was City of Sport, which is far more relevant to us and far more embarrassing for the council. No-one gave a fuck.

    Reasons to be cheerful

    What are the rules re: sendings off this season? Is it just in the competition it occurs in or just any competition? Would Drysdale miss Bristol or the next round? It shouldn't matter too much anyway if Osti is back for Bristol. Even if not Pask could move across and Burroughs/Rowe play RWB...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I know it's to be expected of Conservatives who're naturally resistant to change and have many members/donors involved in the property sector, but I'm just so disappointed at this 'get back to the office' mantra. We've got such a chance to completely alter the way we work that would be so...

    Ex Player Watch

    Westwood WAS the better of the two. He's now a fair bit older than when we had him and while his age isn't particularly old for a goalkeeper he's not getting any younger. Plus his style isn't suited to the playing out from the back. Marosi can be TOO calm under pressure at times and take...

    Dom Hyam

    When he arrived his situation was similar to that of Pask when he arrived - not expected to start but be capable of being first team capable if required. He was expected to spend that season predominantly playing U23. But due to injuries etc he was required more often than expected and did so...

    Whats happening at the Coventry Telegraph?

    Because the club give them no information they've got nothing to report.

    Happy with the result given the overall performance and down to 10 men for an hour. Need to sharpen up against better opposition if we don't want to get caught. Marosi with the ball at his feet nearly got caught a few times and if he does that against better players we may well be conceding...

    Starting to feel real now! Is it sad I spent ten minutes refreshing the twitter page waiting for the line-up? Strong starting line-up largely as expected. Only Kelly missing which is probbly as a precaution for the league. Hopefully a healthy win to get us going.

    What would our starting 11 be next season?

    I think giles will quckly come under scrutiny if his defending doesn't improve from what we've seen thus far

    But that could be taken as a heads-up warning from their own experiences of dealing with them. Like a woman telling another woman a guy in the office is a bit lechy.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I was OK with maths until A level when I could understand the equations but never quite how to apply them in the questions. I could never work out if I should integrate or work out the derivative. Didn't help that my best mate I sat next to was a maths genius who completed everything in 10...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm far more interested in the future, but I find looking to the past is a decent way of predicting the future in terms of general behaviour etc. I had that issue with chemistry more - memorising periodic table, atomic numbers, mass, electrons etc. Couldn't ever find a way to make it anything...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I was pretty good at history, but very rarely used exact dates in exams. As long as I knew the chronology of events that was enough for me and the important thing - it lets you see how things develop, possible causality etc so you focus on whats happening and why rather than when. A history...
