Sounds like we're giving them a attack on defence training session. Poor start - only good thing is we've not conceded.

I've only got the radio so I'm not going to repeat that as it's likely inaccurate. It's Wich rather than Eakin though so factually might be a bit better.

Reckon it's a 4-3-3/4-5-1 with front three of Thomas, JCH and Hiwula. Hope it's more 4-4-2 with JCH and Hiwula as a front two. If Baka's not injured that's incredibly harsh. Thought he did enough to keep his starting place so to not even make the squad is very surprising. Seems clear that MR...

I don't think it is a temporary dip in form. Even from the start of the season it's been mentioned that Doyle was being less effective and opposition teams were just bypassing him. That meant him dropping deeper and thus everyone else dropped deeper too leaving the likes of JCH ploughing a lone...

I wasn't expecting him to play - trialist keeper I'd expect to play the whole game regardless. I just always like the option of the sub keeper on the bench and I like the younger lads being involved in the higher age groups where they can. Not a big deal and wasn't needed.

Seems like an exciting game. Thought they'd have put Bilson on the bench given U18 aren't playing until new year now as far as I know (unless they've got postponed games rescheduled)

He's already been recalled.

Gutted for the lad, and for the team. As has been mentioned I really hope that his mental wellbeing is given as much attention as his physical rehab. The first time would be hard enough to get through, a second knowing full well what it entails with the fear it may go again must be torturous...

WHAT? Where the hell have I said I WANT the club to die? You're just making a narrative up in your own head now.

I have wondered how we might do if we had Doyle pushed up just battling for the knock downs? He's not got the legs for the running around now, and his passing has always been a bit wayward unless it's very unadventurous sideways stuff, so having him collect the ball off the toes of the back four...

A bit like the Armstrong/Kent/Murphy/Maddison thing? Yeah, that could cause a lot of problems at this level as you've got a good mix of abilities there - pace, movement, skill on the ball. I guess with the current line-up their equivalents would be Chaplin/Thomas/Hiwula/Bayliss. Just wish...

Not until next season, or at the very most end of this season if we've nothing to play for. Want to keep your powder dry on him. If an offer came in for Bayliss in the summer I could see MR being tempted to let him go with Burroughs and N'Gandu coming through. Quite probable we'll see at least...

I don't think MR had much say on signings that much other than Chaplin, which was probably to ease his frustration at losing McNulty. He's seemed less than enthused by both Hiwula and Baka, and he's pretty much openly said that all the U23 development signings were down to recruitment rather...

I still think we'd have been better served at least having him on he bench. One thing we're struggling with is putting the ball in the net and it's what he does best. Reckon by the end of the season he'd be at the very least rotating with Chaplin.

Quite like that, but I do fear the ball would be coming back at us quite a lot. Don't think that front three are going to win many battles although Thomas will give it a go. So I'd maybe replace Chaplin with JCH in that formation as long as Thomas and Hiwula (and possibly Bayliss) are near...

Think I'd try Baka and Hiwula, but only as long as we play it on the ground. Anything humped long you've got to have JCH in as he's the only one who could compete, if he feels like it.

Agree with you. There are elements that have just learnt to keep quiet but have an ingrained racist attitude. Sadly, I think those people won't ever see things differently no matter what evidence or penalties you put in front of them. The saddest thing is that many of them will have families and...

Where does it say MR was apportioning some blame on Baka? If he has then all it shows is that MR definitely has it in for him - that goal was the fault of Burge. Perhaps it's racism ;)

Think we'll lose this one, again due to a lack of finishing chances. Aside from the odd massive individual error we've been pretty good as a defensive unit so don't think we'll get pasted unless that Walsall game has got into their heads - hopefully not. _____________Burge...

NEWS: New flag for Coventry revealed - with the Sky Blues featuring prominently! Possibly a bit of PR propaganda making the most of community links, possibly a bit of the council telling the club stuff to keep them sweet? The blue is far more likely to be due to the weaving trade and the...
