    Still not there yet but...

    When some people throw critisism at Beavon, other people point out that Burton went up off the back of 1-0 wins so having an out-and-out goalscorer wasn't necessary. The way we've started the season, you could argue that we're working on the same principle. At the end of the day, we're used to...

    Beavon - no goals in 11 consecutive league starts...

    Hold on a minute. Before we get the rope out of the shed and start eyeing up the tree at the back of the garden, let's just remember that we have a whole new team that are getting used to how each other play. It is far too early in the season to be worrying to this extent. If the same situation...

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    The reason people bang on about him is a) he scored a few goals in L1, b) he clearly enjoyed playing for us, and he always played like he cared (which we haven't seen much of in the last year or two), c) he was good on social media, and for me the biggest of all, d) he was unfairly treated by...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Shrewsbury Town Match Thread - Tuesday 29th Aug

    We haven't had a settled back 4 this season apart from the first 2 games. With so many new players, this doesn't help, but injuries are part and parcel of the game I guess. Still, give it a little more time and I think all will be good. Far too early to be gloom and doom, far too early to be...

    This result against the run of play. Disappointing.

    Andreu (I think?) goes down in the box but penalty appeal turned down.

    McNulty miskicks in front of goal, leading to a goal kick and jeers from the opposing fans.

    Dave Tarpey turned us down

    Pleasantly surprised by the balanced views on this post. Well done, chaps.

    Which VPN do people use for this? I used to use one of the chrome extensions (hola (?)) but it seems hit and miss nowadays.

    Jeez, this is a hard one to predict. Too many false dawns to be positive, too much blind hope to be negative. I'll go for a nervy 1-1.

    Team togetherness

    Many teams punch above their weight. That's the beauty of football. Look at Huddersfield last season. By rights they should have been far closer to the bottom than the top based on income / budget. And Yeovil a few years back, going up to the Championship. Yeah, they're the more extreme...

    Everyone's too happy...

    He's been given free reign here. The chance to build a club - not a team, but a club - top to bottom in his own image. Without wishing to sound ridiculous, he has the chance to become this generation's Jimmy Hill - innovating, changing, creating his own vision. Most managers are hamstrung by the...

    Jordan Willis... would you keep or sell??

    I previously was on the sell side of things, believing he had defeat ingrained into his soul at this club. But maybe I was wrong. Perhaps it is as simple as playing with better players, albeit at a lower overall standard in L2. I guess, as a defender, if you spend most of your time on the back...

    Grimsby highlights

    My phone says that on Sky sports and the BBC website too, even though I'm sat in the Midlands on BT Wi-Fi. Annoying.

    I'm not there so I can't comment on tonight, but it's very early days for the lad. He's only played about 30 mins of pro football.
