    Match Thread Coventry v Sheff Utd Match Thread - Thursday 15th Dec

    Sorry to be a spoilsport, but talking about the game for a moment; the midfield just seems totally lost. Either too deep or too far forward, both at the wrong times.

    It must hurt to whistle this much for this long. Only 78 more minutes to go!

    Have to say, the protest is certainly going to get some coverage if this carries on. Don't agree with invading the pitch, but the message is very loud and clear.

    Got a horrible feeling they'll score within the first couple of minutes.

    Which Of Our Players Are Not Good Enough For League 1?

    Fair enough about Stevenson. I temporarily forgot about him. Perhaps the best way I can put it is that a lot of the squad probably is L1 standard (or just about), but the balance and blend of players we have just doesn't work.

    Which Of Our Players Are Not Good Enough For League 1?

    Both keepers are ok for back-up, but not a 46 game season. Sterry is ok, but that's it. Maybe carve a career out at this level in a year or two. Willis = L1 standard (possibly better) Turnbull = has potential, but I'm not sure what tp make of him. Stokes = Clearly able at this level Bigi = L1...

    The ideal new manager...

    As much as the managerial merry-go-round sucks, right now I'd be happy with a been-there-got-the-T-shirt kind of manager. Yes, the same old names appear all over the leagues, but that isn't a bad thing for a club in our state. A Gary Johnson / Phil Brown type, who knows his stuff. Not exciting...

    The ideal new manager...

    His stock is too high, as seen by the general shock at his dismissal. A struggling Championship club will snap him up in a few weeks.

    Gary Caldwell

    Gary Caldwell? Is that what we're left with? I'd rather have Gary McAllister back than him, and he was, if you'll excuse my French, fucking shit.

    The Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Thread!

    That was my first thought tbh. Unless the new owners have hinted that he's the man they like.

    The Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Thread!

    Personally, I'd rather have a manager who has a shit-ton of L1 experience; we need someone that knows how to survive in this division - the type of players who thrive at this blood and thunder level. That's not to say JFH doesn't have that knowledge, but his CV doesn't suggest that's the case...

    Match Thread Southend v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 10th Dec

    I think I now officially hate football. All the enjoyment has been sucked out of it over the last fifteen years, but now it's just a chore. If it wasn't for this forum, I'd have probably given it all up a while back.

    The ladies love a well-known member. So I've heard. Ahem.

    Investment on the Horizon?

    If there is any truth to this, then I wonder why the CET haven't done a story yet. surely this is what 'their' campaign has been hoping for?

    Investment on the Horizon?

    Look, we all know it'll go wrong. It's what happens to us. We're perpetual losers. Just accept it and look foward to the League Two tour, ok?

    STOP. GIVING. ME. HOPE. Bastard.

    Set Pieces.

    Cedric Roussel was decent in the air iirc. Other than that, I'm struggling to name anyone.

    Investment on the Horizon?

    It was a certain goalkeeper's best mate: he admitted who he was, then edited the post about 30 seconds later. Unluckily for him, I was quick on the draw and read it before it changed.

    Terrible decision from Venus

    Re: TM talking about physicality. I have to be honest, I was / still am a fan of TM. However, he did state for at least two transfer windows that we were weak physically. He should have done something about that. Maybe if he had, he'd still be here. MV is doing mini miracles at the moment, but I...
