    Stakes are higher after that Bristol winning. Big match feel to tomorrow even more so now. Collins needs to do something good early on, could be as simple as a good pass, to give him some confidence as I imagine it’s on the floor.

    On paper a Sheaf/Grimes central midfield has to be one of the strongest in the division and certainly one of the best technically and ball playing wise. However I don’t think it works in the current set up, neither are really a natural 8 and the limited times they’ve played together they...

    Matt Grimes

    I put this in the match thread and I stand by it; He is very comfortable on the ball, has a great technique and his awareness of what’s around him is impressive. He has the ability to make us tick. However, at times we seem adamant we have to play through him - similar to Sheaf at the start...

    He’s a good Championship player, but Grimes ain’t all that.

    Missing the game today as heading to Brighton for the marathon tomorrow, so I’ll be watching on my iPad on the train - probably the only Cov fan on there. Tough game, but probably the strongest team we have. If Allen has a Sunderland level performance his inclusion is justified, otherwise I’d...

    Eight Years Ago

    Was a truly brilliant day. Unknowingly started a pre Wembley routine we’ve followed on our subsequent trips. Getting the extra tickets was great, a few mates who aren’t really Cov fans came and one met his now wife that day via Tinder on the train home. His partner is a Leicester fan and by...

    Jake Bidwell

    He’s certainly regressing but in fairness to him he was left massively exposed numerous times, both by EMC and the midfield. And every time he sprinted the whole pitch to overlap the pass was crap.

    They play some shite generic “football” songs after the game too. The old faux I won’t celebrate mask slipping of Hamer there a few times too.

    Mason-Clark Appreciation Thread

    I’ll start by saying he still starts at LW for me, and he’s still one of our potential match winners. So I’m not dismissing him/writing him off or any other OTT thing I could be accused of. However, when he’s against a RB who he doesn’t have the beating of pace wise, it absolutely mentally...

    One slither of a silver lining; Paterson has looked sharper (on the ball). And despite the score and poor performance, Collins has done what’s been asked of him so hopefully a much needed confidence boost for him.

    Bidwell is regressing, but in his defence EMC in front of him has been scared offensively and anonymous defensively. Our left side has seen so much of the ball, but produced absolutely nothing.

    ‘Agenda’ aside, it’s a good chance to see what Frank and the staff can do here. We need a tactical tweak and some belief back in the players. Possibly extreme, but Sheaf, Rudoni, Simms for Allen, Torp and EMC.

    Free Hit - > 2-0 down with a half to go - > season over. Classic match thread emotions.

    1) 2-0 2) Hamer will get wanked off for his fake non-celebration 3) Dovin injured 4) We have forgotten what passion means Not a great Friday night thus far. Still genuinely think we’ve got a chance though.

    Wouldn’t be opposed to a nasty injury to Campbell. The prick reputation he has seems fair!

    Less than 30 seconds and we’ve already had a ‘Frank Lampards Coventry City’ FFS Don, apart from the fact you can’t get Coventry you’re normally ok!

    Big match feel - mixture of nerves and excitement. We absolutely have the ability to get something out of this.

    Binks and Bidwell will be fine. It would be a worry if it was Binks and JDS. Binks has been desperate for a chance so everything crossed he has a stormer.
