    Bad manners from the Coventry Telegraph

    Shoddy though. You expect newspapers to use the spelling of headline words correctly don't you. They should know their homophones and homonyms. They proof read these things surely don't they?

    Crowd be interesting next week.

    You do have to factor in though that some people just go to the opening games of seasons. Just like you get a boost on Boxing Day and sometimes in the very last match of the season too. Think we need a few wins in order to woo people back for sure.

    Indeed. I didn't think Vincenti was that bad either.

    But against a much better side would we have gone into the game with that same kind of mindset?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Newport County Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    Maybe, but I still remain just as confident today as I did pre game yesterday. One bad day at the office. When you look back to seasons in League One we were constantly on the back foot against sides and teams came here and had us pinned back in many games and dictated play. Yesterday was...

    Hmm, heard Stuart Linnell saying that too, but yesterday was so much worse. There were a few loose passes in that match against Notts County, but nothing like on this scale. This was through the roof.

    It was on our manor though wasn't it.

    Things that annoy you

    And of course with mine it's impossible to hold with just one hand anyway. Suppose you should be thankful for small mercies though, eh!

    Things that annoy you

    Godsend when they are in place and things have improved these days with automatic taps etc. Obviously never was the case in the past though. Here I am talking about nearly 20 years ago. So many people though now still don't wash their hands at all do they. Noticed it yet again at the Ricoh...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Newport County Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    Hmmm, come on now, credit where credit is due for sure, but we were misplacing passes left right and centre. Accept that some were made under duress and from hard pressing, but many were made under little or no pressure at all. That's nowt to do with you making us look shit. You were...

    Or even a 2, because it was the howler of all howlers. ;)

    Yep, get all that, but second half we didn't really have any defending to do once Newport set up camp in their own half and I would say that McDonald most definitely does not just clear it ugly. There quite often is some precision and accuracy to what he does when clearing the ball. As I said...

    He's on the luggage carousel going round and round waiting for the bag with his boots in to show up. He has to be better than he has shown so far surely. We need to give him time.

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Kelly was shocking. It was bad pass after bad pass.

    We were very poor though, Dave. Very simple 5 yard passes were going astray and were constantly being intercepted. For O'Brien I would have given him a 6 without the mistake. The mistake cost us the game and at least 2 points and as it was such an awful mistake I knocked 4 points off. Would...

    Applause for terrorism

    I don't mind it and no-one is forcing anyone to clap and it's also very simple and easy to just keep quiet for 60 seconds. I also think that it is a mutual respect thing. They showed solidarity with our tragedy, so we show it with theirs. As I say, doesn't bother me and it's not compulsory to...

    Depends how you score things. You might give Willis 6 for solid defending, but then knock 3 marks off for his really dreadful distribution. Makes perfect sense. We lost in part today because of inability to pass the ball to a team mate and then because of O'Brien's error.
