    McNulty and Beavon are playing too far apart and therefore any knock downs Beavon does make aren't going anywhere. Don't think the McNulty/Beavon combination is quite working, at least for now anyway.

    We didn't outplay them though. I would be a lot more concerned if we were passing the ball about and finding teams hard to break down, but yesterday was all about us being unable to even pass simple balls most of the time and being unable to even probe a opening to penetrate their defence...

    Cost us 2 points that error and in a season that can be the difference between promotion and non promotion. May seem harsh, but we have seen errors from RCC and Burge when put under a tiny little bit of pressure. Well there was no pressure at all with this one. It was from distance, no...

    He isn't. Doesn't seem the same player as last year does he.

    Confident of a win. Robins will kick a few arses and I am sure that Andreu will now be included in the starting 11. Nazon may well get a look in too. Make the necessary adjustments and we should still go into the game with confidence.

    You have to mark players down if they cannot distribute the ball correctly and correct me if I am wrong, but didn't we bring Jack Grimmer in BECAUSE he was an attacking full back who could help support the attack? You look how high we were playing up the park yesterday in the second half...

    I only change my pants when we win. Hence my sleeping on and off on the sofa alone for a number of years.

    Bad manners from the Coventry Telegraph

    You should see their next piece! Truly shocking. 'It was bald of Mark Robins to stick with the same side, but the decision backfired on him and he will be left bear-faced after this effort from his players. The Sky Blue faithful will be hoping this is just a one off and not the start of a baron...

    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?

    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.

    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...
