Oddly, I didn't get to see as many Premier League games there as I wish I could have. Most of those I did go to, we were rubbish! Obviously, the last game against Derby will stick forever in the minds of anyone who was there. But I think the Forest game just before that also sticks. The...

That's a very sad and tragic way to end a club's league history, an absolute travesty really. I can't imagine what it must be like for their fans, and the everyday staff, and you have to feel sorry that they've had to go through this.

It's just an awful mess. Of course, you feel for the fans. And for the staff that haven't been getting paid.

So that means in 50 minutes, we could be 2 clubs down in League One. What a mess.

Seems like Bolton are now closer to the abyss than Bury then.

I didn't give us a chance after our first innings! Who did!? I avoided really desperately getting my hopes up, and when we started losing wickets after lunch with some really careless shots, I was glad hadn't! Have to credit Jack Leach as well. He played very sensibly, I hope a few others...

England'll do that to you, at just about any sport!

No. Way. What!? Ben Stokes, you absolute legend! I cannot believe it!

Add it to the collection. Since lunch, there's been too many.

So, that's another stupid shot. Another stupid wicket gone. Just stay in. Is it really that hard to understand?

It was going not too bad, but hey. Let's find new ways of giving away stupid wickets, shall we?

Thing is AUS know all they've got to do is put in an area where it can get an edge or off a glove, and it'll be a wicket most times. There's no defensive play. They can't just play the dot ball and defend the wicket. They want to go at everything. It just doesn't work in test cricket.

Even a miracle isn't going to save us now. An absolutely crap innings by Australia will be enough.

They were gone already, really. It was just a case of how long we could frustrate them. And we've failed, spectacularly. I think we knew there would be a collapse, its inevitable. But this has just been pathetic.

It's beyond a joke now. Our bowling gave our batting order a chance, and they collapse like a stack of cards. Again.

That's been the Coventry City way for as long as I can remember! In fact, as soon as they had us tagged as favourites going into that Bolton game, I had an instinctive feeling we wouldn't win it!

I've just remembered how much of a dislike for Kenny Jackett and his teams I have. Great result under the circumstances. That's got to have taken a huge toll on the team, though. Hopefully they can find some energy (and some extra players!) before Saturday!

Exactly what I was just thinking about. The precedent has already been set. The only difference being Bolton have already been Docked points, albeit for completely different reasons, so they'll probably use that as en excuse not to dock them for this.

I think the issue was Archer's fitness was something of an unknown (hence why he played in a second team game in between tests). Obviously, in hindsight, it would have been right if Archer had played. I'm not sure it would have won us the test though, our batting order seemed determined not to...
