    Sky Blues Talk - Downtime

    As has been said previously, tediously slow page changes within threads. It seems to change one/two at normal speed then the third either sticks so you have to close the tab and open a fresh one, or it takes a few minutes. This was using Chrome on my iPhone. It doesn't seem as bad on the same...

    Bradford match thread

    Positives: 1) Its the best I have seen Tudgay play, TM seems to have lighted a fire in him. He was all over the pitch and created a few decent chances. 2) Nouble worked harder than he has previously, albeit to the detriment of his decision making. 3) We missed three sitters. While that in...

    Proschwitz.........

    He isn't great and cannot be forgiven for that miss in the second half, and I am by no means jumping to his defence but, he's played two/three games for us, probably accumulating to less than an hour. Maybe we should allow him a little more time before completely dismissing him and accusing...

    4-2-3-1 maybe? With the '3' just three out of position strikers?

    Bradford match thread

    Both posts are accurate, he's worked harder than I have seen him in a long time but his decision making has been poor. Both examples above illustrate that, the latter was especially frustrating.

    Flat 4-4-2 or 4-5-1/4-3-3 I wonder.

    what can Mowbray change for tues ?

    I'm guessing you mean Phillips at LB? Based on your starting XI earlier in the thread you would then have Pennington RB? For me, moving Pennington from CB is a real loss, especially with Martin and Webster, who are both technically poor. I understand your thinking though. The argument could be...

    what can Mowbray change for tues ?

    Two general observations/questions: 1) How and why is Nouble in anyone's starting XI?! 2) Why is Stokes suddenly the worst player in the world, ever? The alternative suggestions aren't exactly great either; when has playing a right or centre back at left back ever worked?

    Port Vale match thread

    Not his biggest fan at all, but he made that goal.

    Port Vale match thread

    It's certainly deteriorated into that. Not how it started though. We were more direct, but with a purpose.

    Port Vale match thread

    It's contextual, in comparison to recent weeks we are. Well, at least we were.

    Port Vale match thread

    The pitch is truly awful. It's the same for both teams, but as we are looking to play football it's certainly more of hindrance to us.

    Port Vale match thread

    In all fairness, we do not deserve to be losing. They offered little threat until their scrappy equalizer and we subsequently went to pot. Tudgay is playing the best I have seen him play. It's the first time I've seen Marshall play and he looks a good player at this level. Broadly speaking...

    Mowbray Until End Of The Season

    Why the outcry? People were excited by the thought of Mowbray and now we have him. The short term deal works for all parties; he keeps us up, he's in a stronger position to negotiate for budgets, recruitment etc and the club know they have a manager who can do the job. Surely both of...

    Saturday's gate?

    It will make a nice change to not feel depressed before I have even entered the ground, at least about on field issues. Hockaday may set the team out in the same manner with the same tactics, but at this point none of us know that for sure. So for now, at least a slight hint of intrigue about...

    So who do we want?

    To be fair, that is a pretty strong shortlist. I hope someone from the club is reading this site. Unfortunately of the seven names listed; realistically I think we could only attract three - Alexander, Money and Hill. The others would deem themselves too big for a struggling league one club...

    An open letter to Joy by PSB Group

    Very true. Unfortunately SP and the team are not helping the situation with the absolutely awful football on show at the Ricoh. It would be interesting to see attendances if we were pushing for promotion. The figures would be a true reflection of those who truly are NOPM and those who throw the...

    Can you provide the answers?

    Fair challenge. I suppose the two potential counter points to that would be; a) McGoldrick was ahead of him and on fire which may explain why he was not given a chance b) as you alluded to, Wilson would have made his mark regardless of the manager, possibly? Some credit for giving Wilson his...

    Can you provide the answers?

    I raised this point a few weeks ago in a similar debate, but it is worth raising again; all arguments for SP keeping his job centre around external factors, predominantly the constraints he is under, SISU not delivering promises etc. Can anyone in favour of SP keeping his job, propose a reason...

    Jones - 5 - keepers should never concede from a free kick on the side they are supposed to be covering. Aside from that, the few things he had to do he did well. Phillips - 5 - seemed to play within himself for the majority of the game and consequently did not strongly influence it. I think...
