    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    Good result. Good defensive performance and Hiwula impressed me up front. But, otherwise a pretty average performance. Robins’ subs were spot on and felt Doyle and Kelly in the middle gave us stability and is something I’d consider going forward.

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    Ahhhh, I hadn’t completed that sentence! They’re all potentially similar to Ogogo in the sense they’re very good at their club atm, but may not fit in with us. We need balance, but I don’t think it’s achieved by selling Bayliss, especially for players who aware nearly 30. Personally, my view...

    Average age of today’s starting 11

    No, this logs every lineup every team has posted. Yesterday’s Charlton’s team average age was 26.8, 4.1 years older than our starting line up. From the link provided, there are 3 teams that consistently post the youngest lineups, ourselves, Walsall and Barnsley. As for Barnsley, they have just...

    Average age of today’s starting 11

    Yes, here’s a list. As you can see, Walsall, Barnsley and ourselves have the youngest teams in this division. It’s worth noting that, at 37, Doyle is propping up our averages as he’s 7-8 years older than our next oldest (Andreu - 30, Brown and Ogogo at 29). One of our lineups had an average age...

    Average age of today’s starting 11

    Not really, you can see it’s part of a wider transfer recruitment policy. Even with Ogogo and Brown starting, we’d have a starting eleven that is about the 2nd or 3rd youngest in the division. We had an average age below 24 with Doyle in the team. The age gap between Ogogo, Andreu and Kelly is...

    No ones doubting individual talent. But how many teams that are as young as ours win titles? Very few.

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    There wasn't really any substantial interest in the first place, so I'm doubtful that there are a host of clubs out there who are willing to pay the minimum acceptable fee for Bayliss. Either way, I'm not convinced it's the best course of action. Certainly not worth the risk in the January...

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    The notion of selling Bayliss is a stupid one. Firstly, he has genuine quality, and a bout of bad form doesn’t change that, and you have to factor in the fact that he’s cutting his teeth in a man’s league as a centre midfield. Secondly, where’s any kind of long-term vision in selling him? In...

    Average age of today’s starting 11

    Patience is needed with young players, and we’re not in a bad state at all. You could see we lacked confidence, because we started to play and try more things after Hiwula’s goal. We’re now 3pts off of 8th place. We had an excellent run followed by a poor one, and that levels out. To have beaten...

    Player ratings

    In all honesty, it was pretty average game that didn’t have a lot of chances. However, with Charlton being 4th and our run of form, a draw would’ve been a good result. Match ratings: Burge, 7 - made a really good save, and was solid, minus 1-2 inconsequential occasions. Sterling, 7 - played...

    Thomas injury

    I wouldn’t blame him if that was the case. However, in my view, he’s not ready to make the step up because there’s too many occasions where he could’ve made better decisions. Take today, there was one shot where he took a v low % shot to the keepers near post when we had 2-3 players waiting for...

    You didn’t read that article did you? Free Trade Agreements infringe upon the sovereignty of states, whether we’re trading with the EU, China or the US. It’s governments coming together and restricting what they can do and setting rules for themselves. Of course they can take back sovereignty...

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

    If you have to adhere to EU rules and regulations, it’s at the expense of sovereignty because we’re not setting our own rules. In the scenario I laid out, we wouldn’t have to give up soveigbty, but we will invariably be worse off with trade tariffs because we have a trade deficit, importing...

    The article explains it pretty well. But let’s say Mucca Mad Boys and Astute are sovereign states. We decide that free trade is in our mutual interest. We set rules for that trade. From eliminating tariffs and trade barriers means we, as sovereign states can’t do certain things that break this...

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

    Our exports to the EU is worth £274bn, or 44% of all our exports (as of 2017). We need access to the single market — losing nearly half of your trade would be catastrophic. We also import more than we export, with a trade deficit of -£67bn. Tariffs based trade is therefore, a bad thing for the...
