    Who watches American Football in the UK?

    Been popular for nigh on 30 years, Gazbola. Would guess that the majority there were Brits. I went to a Wembley game a few years back and it was mainly British people I cams across. As soon as they announce the games they sell out very, very quickly too. Think the obvious answer to how popular...

    Morning Daz! Half-term, so lots of stuff planned with my daughter.

    Well let's see at the end of the season if we have held on to Maddison and Charles Cook etc. I'm not counting my chickens.

    Plus under 21 games under his belt to bring him up to match fitness.

    Agree. The trend is downwards at the moment, but at the same time there is still a lot to be very happy about.

    Agree, could just have easily not come off for Armstrong though. Doesn't mean he'd not be up to it, but it's a lot to expect from a young kid and it might have taken him a lot longer to get up to speed and to the rigours of League One football.

    Starting Cole a big mistake ?

    Lameiras only played 60 mins against Crewe and was replaced by Murphy. He then played the full game against Walsall, but was taken off at half time for tactical reasons against Southend. He was then substituted the next game on 74 mins against Burton and then again on 70 mins against Scunthorpe...

    Exactly my stance too, NW. This is why I have always questioned the 2 year plan. It's not a total blank piece of paper next season, but you are to a degree starting from scratch for many positions. Just cause we have got lucky with Armstrong this season, doesn't mean we will be so lucky next...

    Easy peasy. What's the odds on an England victory?

    Starting Cole a big mistake ?

    Kent struggles to put in 90 mins, so there is ample opportunity for Lameiras to get game time and do his stuff. Lameiras has been left out anyway hasn't he, before Kent even came here?

    Yep, double pen. We are really lucky we didn't lose 3-2.

    2 pens there. foul by Martin, but then a handball by Phillips too, so if it hadn't been given for the Martin wrestle, then it would have been given for Phillips' clear handball.

    Yep, exactly. If this is poor form I can't wait until we start turning it on again.

    If it was Phillips then that's a worry, as he has been responsible for a number of penalties.

    That is true. No handball: happy faces, with everyone saying we are just 2 points behind the automatic promotion place and we have a game in hand. Great win, really gritty how we dug in and hung on. Unbeaten run extended. Handball and pen resulting in a draw: Worst we have played this season...

    Think TM said he had to be careful with Cole, as it was 2 games in 4 days, so am guessing tactical. Think Martin was the culprit according to a few who went.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    I wonder if it's just me, but my stance on Wasps has changed somewhat. Have always wanted them to fail and not wanted them to win matches, but could never be bitter enough (in my own mind) to actively wish them to lose every single game, check out who they were playing and then root for the...

    Can't compare though, because we're not losing. We're drawing and staying top 6 and still have a game in hand.

    Don't see why. Another draw might be okay. Walsall play Gillingham for starters and a few teams are now beginning to drop points.

    I'm more worried about that then the 2 points lost today. We seriously need to sort out a penalty taker who is going to be successful at least 75% of the time. Our record is truly shocking. Today was just one of those things. Had it been Pressley or Thorn, then I would have said 'here we go...
