    Good goal. Good changes too - let Biamou and Gyokeres harry and cause issues against tired legs.

    We’re starting to look a bit tired and sitting slightly deeper. I imagine the two are linked. Subs is never MR’s strong point, but he has to get them right tonight.

    Their keeper having the game of his life!

    Cliche as it sounds we have to make the most of this dominance. Rotherham will have their spell at some point and we know how prone to mistakes we are defensively. Really positive start though which is encouraging. We’re pressing then like we did successfully against Brentford - hopefully with...

    Just Fuck Off. How have we not scored.

    Big game feel. We look up for this which is a positive.

    They were robbed!

    The pub

    Mixed to be honest. Set up was great, with the enclosed benches and heaters within each, and service was quick and efficient. But for a brewery owned bar there was only three Dhillons beers on, two of which were lagers. So great location but anti climatic drink selection for ale lovers!

    No way around it, it’s a massive, massive game. Not season deciding, but it’s certainly significant. Two up front, an attacking mindset and constant pressure on their defence and I think we win. We do not want a defensive set up and hoping for a bit of luck to score. Godden/Walker are our best...

    Great 9mile run along the canal yesterday in the sun. Including a slight detour to run around the Ricoh for nostalgia/excitement purposes!

    I’m heading to the new Dhillons bar later this afternoon, plus a few other places around Coventry/Earlsdon, with partner and two other couples. Not been out in Cov (pre-Covid) for ages, looking forward to it. Despite the fact it’s a Wednesday I’m sure they’ll be loads of familiar faces around...

    Got a days AL today and meeting another two couples for drinks around Coventry. Even pre-Covid I’ve not been out in Cov for a while. Most looking forward to trying the new Dhillons Bar in town - located where Inspire used to be. Not been overwhelmed with their beers previously, but it looks a...

    Running

    Another good two weeks of running, and getting ever closer to pre covid fitness. Last week was 35 miles and I did 6 today to take this weeks to 29. Still no half marathon attempt yet which is the big test really as I was running those on a near weekly basis before. Slightly worried as despite...

    No, but I’ve had a few Shiny Brewery beers and found them good if not special - worth a go! I’m heading to a local brewery pub tomorrow for a surprise on a family members birthday, we’ve got the kids etc so won’t be a drinking session or anything, but will be nice to have a couple of proper...

    Running

    I hadn’t really thought about this until recently, as ‘a run was just a run’ but you’re right it makes a big difference. I predominantly run through fields/canal towpaths/bridal paths etc, and the terrain is often pretty poor. It definitely takes more out of the legs than pavements and even...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (A) Sat 10th

    Bournemouth commentators with two interesting observations; 1) ‘Coventry will definitely stay up’ 2) To paraphrase, if we had a good striker we’d be much further up the league. We are poor in the attacking third.

    Match Thread Bournemouth (A) Sat 10th

    Didn’t see this as a free hit but now it’s unlikely we are getting back into it, it would make sense to take Godden off. Potentially Walker too, although it’s match sharpness he needs. Kelly has been poor, but he isn’t alone. And Danjuma is a class above.

    Match Thread Bournemouth (A) Sat 10th

    Let’s hope Thompson plays with a point to prove. This has obviously slowed the game a lot, so let’s hope we don’t start slowly again. I think a point is definitely there for the taking, they look vulnerable at the back and if we can pressure/harry we have a chance of getting something from it...
