    Match Thread Coventry v Shrewsbury Match Thread - Saturday 13th Aug

    Surprised at Haynes decision, but Page is purported to be the better player. Quite excited by that team.

    I would stick with the same team as Tuesday, bar Jones for Thomas. By all accounts Reid isn't fully fit so bring him on for whomever of the three strikers isn't performing at 55:60 minutes. I'm unconvinced on Haynes overall, especially defensively, but he deserves to keep his place after...

    Ben Stevenson

    Bags of potential. Seemed very composed on the ball, which was especially difficult today against a pressing team. Good passing midfielder. Certainly has the ability to dictate games as his experience and confidence grow. Only question mark may be his physique, hard to tell from the stands but...

    George Thomas -whats the point

    I mentioned the same thing in the match thread. He doesn't seem to add anything to the game. I thought his main strength was pace, but that's certainly not the case based on today. I don't like criticising our own players, especially youngsters, but he's just a body at the minute and should not...

    Poor performance. Few moments of intricate passing, but I literally mean a few. Stevenson looks composed but lightweight, Vlad looks like he could run a game but not involved enough, Harries was looking good but a few silly errors in the last 10/15. Lameires is trying but he needs movement...

    I don't like being critical of our players, especially youngsters, but G Thomas has absolutely nothing about him.

    No delayed kick off. So much to moan about. This place will be a joy later.

    Thanks Jelly - I've risked it. I couldn't see any cameras. I need to leave early anyway (which I wouldn't usually), as I'm supposed to be collecting my partner at 9...ish.

    There might be queues outside, but there's about ten people inside.

    What's traffic like? I usually walk but can't today. Anyone checking Tesco car park entrances?

    I'm one of the few not affected by the POTG issue; ticket already purchased. However, I'm really in two minds whether to attend tonight, which for someone who is usually positive, and rarely misses a games, is not a good sign this early into the season. The worst part is, I have no idea why.

    Chris McCann Signing Number 3.....

    I prefer long term signings ideally, but we have to accept the position we're in as a club, including attractiveness to players, and be pragmatic - we can't afford to turn down players that will improve us. He's a good player and provides another option, in addition to vital experience.

    Sordell - How Many Goals ?

    0. I judge players based on their previous experience (negative ones only) amount we paid, pointless friendlies and the fact we're owned by SISU so everyone's automatically shit.

    Goal Music

    I don't mind goal music, but it has to be right and galvanise the crowd - ideally something everyone can chant/shout along to. I hate Chelsea dagger - bad memories of shit seasons. Surprised nobody has gone contemporary - "insert strikers name"'s on fire.... I'm sure we won't be sick of it by...

    Euro 2016 big thread

    I thought we played well tonight, the obvious issue being the lack of cutting edge. I don't think you can blame Roy for that - he took five strikers to the Euros and started the two scorers from the previous game. My one criticism is Henderson - against a tight, tactical defence like that...

    Phil Townsend inquest

    Purely out of interest - what makes you say that re common law?

    Anyone going to the Euro's

    Little worried about the game following recent newspaper reports, but I'm sure there will be heightened security around the ground. I've never been to Marseille, always presumed it was a nice place (south of France etc), but obviously not! What makes you say that?

    Anyone going to the Euro's

    I'm going to the England/Russia game - very much looking forward to it now. Planning to bring a CCFC flag too. Anyone else heading to that one?

    Reece Wabara

    Good player though and our RB options are currently limited to JW - a CB turned RB. I would definitely welcome him.
