    Aaron Phillips

    No suggestion he isn't on the bench is there? Philips just says 'No Aaron today.' That can just as easily be read as 'No Aaron in the team!' No starting place today. I'm sure he'll be in the 18. Just not in the starting 11 by all accounts.

    Aaron Phillips

    I know that Shmeee, but did TM not say; Coventry City squad 'perilously close to bare bones' admits Tony Mowbray? Pretty sure he did. in fact, I know he did. Only takes a couple more injuries in key areas and we may have real problems. We are also only 5 games in. For a manager to say we are...

    Aaron Phillips

    Tend to agree .... to a degree. Philips is fine going forwards, but he does show a lot of weakness when he is defending and does have a habit of diving in or not stopping balls coming over into the box. If we had a combination of Willis and Philips we'd have a pretty good full back on our books.

    Aaron Phillips

    Only just picked that up myself, Nick. Didn't read the tweet properly. When he said 'no Aaron today' I thought he must be injured, but at the end of the tweet he writes 'CCFC ultra-defensive,' so that sounds like a tactical ploy by TM to shore things up. Must be Ricketts, Reda, Martin, Stokes.

    England game. Bit of fun

    Worries me when Italy are poor in qualifying. They've done it before then gone on to win the bloody tournament.

    Ah, yes, forgot about Willis, but he is out for 3-4 months. It's wafer thin whichever way you look at it.

    Aaron Phillips

    And besides, we have all pretty much agreed we don't expect Ricketts to play every game at his age and TM has already said we need to treat Read really carefully too.

    Aaron Phillips

    Centre of defence I am talking about. If Martin plays we have no cover.

    Aaron Phillips

    Would guess at Dion Kelly-Evans perhaps, though probably move Ricketts over and bring Martin in. That leaves us with no cover whatsoever in the centre of defence though does it. :facepalm: This squad is incredibly thin. We are already scratching our heads as to how we can possibly cover...

    England game. Bit of fun

    They have such talented players. something has gone drastically wrong. When they are in tournaments you always think it might just be their year.

    I do. It all sounds incredibly plausible.

    Geneva/Lausanne-based fans - pub today

    Might just pop over. Do you know which bus I need to get from Keresley to Swizerland? Is it the no. 16 and then the 357?

    England game. Bit of fun

    What the hell has happened to the Netherlands again? They always look such a talent when you see their line-ups. Bigger underachievers than England these past few decades for sure. UEFA European Championship Qualifying Table Group A P W D L F A GD...

    Sports you like vs sports you can't stand vs meh!

    I went off rugby at school when the Welsh sports teacher told me off for dribbling the ball up the field and scoring a try. Basically the ball was bouncing around in my own off so I kicked it forwards and then just ran and ran and ran, kicking the ball upfield in the process, until I reached...

    Not being funny, but don't know what the Kardashians are. I have heard of Kim Kardashian, but only by name. Is she a model? I honestly totally avoid all celeb culture. Guessing she is a model who has become a celeb?
