    The difference between success and failure?

    But that's the difference. We have played it from the back all season long. How the opposition approach that has changed how successful that is for us. We haven't changed tactics, it's just that when teams press us high up the field we then struggle to make that playing from the back work.

    Online/Radio coverage

    Well you have to ask yourselves, is the phone in for us or for all local teams and sports? In my experience every single call in living memory has been about Coventry City, so yep, any talk about Wasps or whoever should be kept to a very minimum.

    The difference between success and failure?

    We play the ball around the back whether a team presses us or not. We have played the same way all season. When a team presses us high up though, we find it harder to progress the ball out of our own half and higher up the pitch.

    TM warned us......

    Yes, but it wasn't a mistake that can be compared to the Phillips one, or the Fleck one, or the RCC one against Sheff Utd. Those were glaring errors. Don't think you can label Ricketts' mistake yesterday as a glaring error. Yep, he probably took too long on the ball, but that ball from that...

    The difference between success and failure?

    Hmm, disagree with that first sentence to be honest. A lot DOES have something to do with the opposition. When teams let us play we can destroy them and I remember against Gillingham here they gave Fleck all the time in the world. When teams press us at high tempo we cannot play our natural...

    He just doesn't take care of the ball very well. He really worries me in that defensive midfield role. Further up the pitch losing possession can prove to be less costly, but his distribution in our own half when it goes wayward is a big concern. If he is going to play, I would like to see...

    TM warned us......

    Of course there will be, as there is with any team. We just have to try and keep them to a minimum. Ricketts' clearance was charged down yesterday. These things happen. What we can concentrate on though is the ridiculous mistake goals such as the Phillips one against Burton, or the one with...

    So glad that one has been put to bed! Missing yesterday and and we suffer our worst defeat of the season. We desperately lacked firepower yesterday.

    Official January transfer window for CCFC

    What do you mean, very wise! That's exactly what TM said he was after, a CB, a winger and a striker. :D

    Was going to post the same thing. Two poor defeats in a row could cost us thousands off the gate.

    Didn't we miss Armstrong then?

    Defence

    Hopefully next week, Ricketts back to CB and Lorentzson in at right back. Hopefully that will give us a bit more stability.

    Peterborough v Burton Fleetwood v Walsall. Didn't think I would ever be cheering for Pressley again.

    Oh, is there? Didn't know that. Yep, sad as it sounds, I will be rooting for everyone else against our rivals.

    But we lost and at 2-0 at half-time we pretty much knew we were going to lose. Shrewsbury scored their winner against Burton in the 90th minute. They scored their equiliser in the 52nd minute. That means at half time we were 2-0 down and Burton were 1-0 up. Surely there is some positivity in...

    They don't though on the back of a defeat. It is ALL gloom and doom and with blinkers on unfortunately. Us still only being 6 points behind 1st place after a dreadful defeat has to be a crumb of comfort surely!

    No consolation that many of our rivals failed to win? How do you make that one out? All those teams not winning has to be a positive surely? Bit daft to suggest otherwise.

    Yes, next best option out of an option of two.
