    I was right wasn’t I? I mean I said enough so had to be really.

    Positive half overall. We started incredibly well, but they got back into it after 20/25 minutes and had there 10 minute spell before it evened out. They don’t look that good (hope that doesn’t come back to bite me), and are resorting to long throws which says a lot. Pask has pace, but has...

    Montero has the beating of Pask. Marosi’s long range kicking is awful. They are more into it; but they have a heavy reliance on long throws. We’ve dropped our tempo but whenever we pass it around we look the better team. I like Shipley but we miss Walsh in the middle a lot. This game is...

    They’re having their 10 mins, but we aren’t too troubled. Not convinced by Pask defensively yet, looks on his back foot too much. People on Baka’s back after he didn’t shoot once - classic. Westbrooke too anonymous now - he isn’t a creative 10. I think he’s been told to run around for 60 mins...

    I agree, I wouldn’t change it, but it explains why Baka looks good.

    He was until he just got skinned way too easily. Their plate really rinsed him for pace.

    I agree - ask any striker and they’ll always prefer a two. Baka looking very good. Their plate down injured, looks serious, but unfortunately takes away our momentum.

    I know people won’t like it, but Baka has started very well. Wants the ball and is laying it off well. Great run from Pask, just ran out of ideas at the end. Again, very positive start. Dominating position in the right areas too.

    Good start and very good chance for Baka after a good call from Westbrooke. Westbrooke is 10 and Shipley next to Kelly. Bwllingham up front for them. Dominating so far.

    Shite game? Atmosphere says otherwise. Hopefully our play will too.

    Queue to collect tickets is ridiculous. One person trying to deal with a ridiculously long queue. It isn’t moving! Oh well, not sure why I’m going anyway. We’re not capable of playing on two fronts.

    Careful. We’re all hoping we lose don’t forget.

    Two up front with three central midfielders and no 10? Or Shipley/Westbrooke playing 10? I don’t think he’ll play Biamou 10. Jones on the bench is interesting! To be fair, the whole bench is fairly attacking. For a conservative manager he’s really going shit or bust. Really hope Mason has a...

    Thanks chaps, albeit slightly different suggestions! Just have to hope the stewards know!

    They said to us they’ll be in the away end somewhere and I don’t think they’d want Cov fans walking across the Birmingham fans? But no idea where in the away end or if the person at the ticket office even knew what they were talking about. We’re going to get there a little earlier either way!

    Nightmare! Although we ordered ours last Wednesday, so no idea what happened with the post. Postman must have stolen them - clearly in high demand on the black market.

    Anyone know where we have to collect the tickets from before the game? I doubt it’s the usual home ticket office, and the CCFC ticket office didn’t know when I called today! Any other Cov fan been told / can any Birmingham fans advise?

    On the train on the way over now, not looking forward to having to pick up tickets at the ground. Usually 4500 would be considered a good away following for a Tuesday night, but in context, given the clamour and moaning of some re the ‘home tie’ tickets it’s slightly disappointing. Looking...

    Transfer Rumour Ryan Giles on Loan - Confirmed

    Has something happened behind the scenes to explain why he’s seemingly out of favour? I appreciate McCallum initially kept the shirt based on form (and maybe to put him in the window if you prefer a conspiracy!), but to sign someone new just as it appears he might get his chance...

    Anyone else (Coventry side) not received their tickets yet? Called today and was told to call the ticket office by midday tomorrow if they don’t arrive in the morning, which I guess might mean having to collect from the St Andrews ticket office before the game? But officially it’s an away game...
