    First one I checked this morning - closed! Not been there for ages - good shout! Starting in Gonzo!

    Recommend a beer

    Rare day off today, I’ve been for a long run, the kids are away for the day and now planning a few drinks in the sun in Coventry. It’s been a while; any recommendations for craft beer places? Or if not, decent real ale? My old haunts are either closed down or closed today!

    Championship thread 24/25!

    We lost one game - on week one of the season. Without our best player and our joint top scorer on the bench. Chill.

    Poor start and a shite performance. But it’s game one, fine to be pissed off but don’t lose the plot. So much time to go, and I expect a few more incomings too.

    Let’s see who stands up to be counted now then. Poor defending for the goal.

    So much better. Same old questions going to be asked this season based on this; why can’t we just start on the front foot! Next MR trait to be tested; will he make early subs this year?!

    Perhaps this is your classic MR; contain first half, attack second. Frustrating but if it works we can’t complain too much.

    Beat you to it - I claim ‘first bed wet of the season’ award. Those being genuine will be gutted.

    Binks having a good game. Which is a shame, as it shows how on the back foot we are.

    Torp and Allen have been a perfect combination of weak defensively, anonymous and poor on the ball. Sakamoto and EMC very, very quiet too.

    Horrendous defending from Allen and Bidwell.

    Nervy start is all. We’ll come good and dominate soon enough.

    Sky Sports+ is definitely better than Red Button. Better quality picture and replays too. Commentators are poor though.

    Cut through the midfield way too easily twice already. Season over. Change of shape needed. MR Out.

    I’m by no means the biggest Allen fan, but I actually think he’ll excel in this formation. Excited to see a pre-season behind him Torp too. Really excited for today.

    I’ve just caught up with the numerous (now mostly closed) threads on the off topic. The expected post match meltdown will seem like nothing after that!* *not that there will be one tomorrow as I’m expecting a good result and performance!

    Sheaf

    Would be gutted if he went, I’m a massive fan of Sheaf and have been since the early days. He’s also a professional off the pitch and at this point one of the ‘old guard’ considering the amount of change at the club. He’s a big figure to lose on and off the pitch. £20 million though is...

    Wright

    Generally I agree, but the MR quote being attributed to Kitching has come from an ITK we now know had a source (indirectly) in the camp. Therefore there is substance behind this one I think.

    Wright

    I think the OP is bollocks and the poster has a history of loving the negative. However in fairness, it’s Coventry related on a Coventry forum and airing it allows it to be squashed. I think I’m more pissed off about the Kitching stuff, I honestly had no idea. I always thought he was a team...

    Genuinely not the made the game. I obviously love my kids, and she’ll get spoilt today for being so brave etc, but FFS. Was looking forward to a beer, seeing the new players in the fresh and getting back into the the football routine.
