Oh right well we looked horribly narrow yesterday for a 4-4-2 formation, and we certainly didn't play the tactics that are usually employed with that formation, i.e. use the width and get the crosses into the box, instead we played as we have done using the diamond formation, our unique brand of...

Two pacey wingers on loan, finding a young black player with the surname 'Dyer' would be probably work out well!

Yeah 12 minutes in when we were 1-0 up, horror challenge...what a superb display of his experience and maturity

I share your concerns, but I think they'd have given Dunn a chance a long time ago if he was good enough.

Formation just doesn't work at this level. The diamond formation lends itself to the 'modern football' era, where slick pass and move sides pull their opponents about by packing the midfield and don't rely on width from the full backs, man city are a prime example with play-makers Silva and...

Completely agree, been a passenger in every game bar brum. I said before the season we shouldn't make him captain because he won't be able to keep up with the fixtures and should been used sparingly. Hopefully the new manager will scrape this diamond bollocks and sign a couple of pacey wingers...

You just said you don't think we'll relegated, after making a sarcastic comment about loving people who think we won't go down? I don't think we have some, given, right to succeed in this division, or even achieve mediocrity, but it is merely my opinion that we won't go down. Additionally I have...

oh dear... In all seriousness, I think once we get a couple of wins under our belt we'll be fine. I don't think we'll do any better than mid table, but, in all honesty, I never expected any more!

Well he's just left his post at Wolves...so obviously a candidate. Despite his dreadful spell last season, the man has a wealth of experience and I wouldn't be that upset if we gave him a chance. Seems like a man who has integrity and I like that.

*Peyton Manning

wouldn't be ironic at all, just disappointing

His decision making is poor, but that is true of many young players that have come through our ranks. What separates him is poor technique and ability, he struggles to get a ball under control, against Bury and Sheffield United there were occasions when the ball would roll under his foot. I...

Probably his considerably better older brother

Crikey, was he that bad? I thought Reece Brown against Sheffield United was the worst I'd seen in a long time, would do well (or very badly) to beat that. I would add that Brown has got to be one of the worst footballers I've laid eyes on, I know he's young but I'd be surprised if he plays above...

Not LM strictly but left of the diamond in the four games I've seen, which surely means he must help cover his left back in defensive situation?

And he's a Coventry lad and a Coventry fan (made just over 200 appearances for the club, scoring 59 goals), top stuff Nick! On a side note, I have to confess I missed much of last season due to being away from the area studying at Uni, but what is everyone's gripe with McSheffrey? I know he can...

Ah right well fair enough then

Without slating Kilbane too much, I think he lets Hussey down. Hussey almost occupies the left back and left midfield position by himself, and I think Kilbane often leaves him exposed. It has made Hussey's position difficult at times, and I'd wager a fair amount he covers more miles than just...

Possibly, but I don't think that's good for the club. Not putting faith in a manager can lead to a rebellious squad and could cause real problems. Also heard a rumour from a source within the game that said Didi Hamman has applied for the job! From following him on twitter and having watched...

The fans are calling for Dalgish? I thought it was pretty much universal satisfaction amongst their fans when Kenny was sacked. I can't think of too many managerial stints that have been worse than Kenny's most recent at Liverpool.
