Murphy's issue is that their LB matches him for pace, which is his usual route past defenders. Plus, in fairness to him, he's had the ball more than most of our players and each time he's had limited options.

Maddison constantly over playing and losing the ball.

Am I the only one that thinks Murphy is still limping?

Flying back from Norway after a 3am start and heading directly to the game. I hope it's another thriller, otherwise I may be asleep in my seat!

It was clear he wasn't a Mowbray favourite, but I'm suprised he's that far removed from Mowbrays thinking he's been allowed to leave. JOB always worked hard and in one or two instances he's worked well as an impact sub raising the tempo, but technically he is not on par with the players...

What happened to the whole 'In TM we trust' thing? Is that just for when we are winning?

It's disappointing to lose a player with the talent and potential ability he has, but it's certainly not the end of the world. He's not even had a full season in L1, and since returning from injury he's hardly set the world alight. It's a suprising move for Norwich, a team involved in a...

Where in Norway do you live?

I would say we are missing an attacking, pacey winger, with the ability to take players on, rather than Kent himself. If Murphy is having a poor game and we want to replace him, there is no alternative. It's the same scenario if we want to start with two quick wide men. We need a pacey...

Phillips certainly seems error prone, be it directly like today or indirectly i.e. giving away a penalty. Note of caution with Lorentzson, we seem to be pinning a lot of hope on him, but he's an unknown quantity in this league. I'm sure he will be a great signing but let's not heap piles of...

Not sure I understand the RCC, Bigi and Stokes negativity.

Murphy isn't in the game at all, but bringing him off removes all midfield pace.

Agreed. The few times we have threatened them has been a result of running at/behind them. If we quicken the tempo we have a real chance of scoring. Easier said than done I know.

Predictions: Over 2.5 goals and Coventry to win. BTTS and Coventry to win.

Cheers. Glad Ruben is starting, especially alongside JM.

Actual or prediction?

Fantastic news, an attendance of 17/18/19 can make a difference today. It will both spur on our players and potentially intimate Burton, who are used to playing in front of a few thousand. Sort of, maybe, hopefully. I think I'm just excited.

I agree, whichever front four option TM goes for, all combinations are capable of besting any defence. I hope he goes for the finesse option i.e. Cole, Maddison, Lameires.

If it's a choice between which full back to drop to accommodate Ramage, for me it would be Haynes. Phillips pips him for experience and has showed signs of improvement recently. He's a safer bet (despite his love of make reckless challenges). The issue with that solution is the lack of pace...

It will be interesting to see Hunt play (it's always exciting seeing new players, especially those with a good pedigree) my only concern is his fitness. Am I right in thinking he has been without a club since summer? Similar situation with Ramage, but not so concerning as he's had longer with...
