    Thought that Sideways Sammy’s review of his first 10 games was pretty fair reading. https://sidewayssammy.com/2025/04/06/10-games-in-matt-grimes/

    Thought the first goal yesterday was similar to the error Dovin made vs Leeds when Bogle scored tbh

    Former players day

    I’m sure there are some clubs where players who make high-profile mistakes are turned into pantomime villains but I’m glad we don’t appear to be one of them.

    Match Thread Who should play on Wednesday poll

    If you play Wilson, you basically commit to playing him for the rest of the season (and all that entails for tactics etc). Maybe it will end up having to be that way anyway, but personally I’d give Collins one more game to see if he can recover.

    Maybe I’m missing something as that’s two people now saying Torp has to start on Wednesday but I thought he was dreadful yesterday.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Bessent, like Mnuchin before him, is largely irrelevant. He’s there to reassure his contacts on Wall Street that there are adults in the room and try to rationalise the irrational in the occasional TV interview. He clearly has next to no influence on Trump’s decision making.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Portsmouth FC Match Thread - Wednesday 9th Apr

    Playoff teams don't tend to voluntarily change their entire tactical setup just to accommodate their third-choice keeper.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Burnley FC Match Thread - Saturday 5th Apr

    Thought the atmosphere was pretty good tbh, especially with such a small/quiet away crowd. Early goal, competitive game and crap ref always helps.

    Keepers

    Lot of armchair psychology in this thread, but thought it was very telling that Edwards made a point of mentioning that Collins is a "strong character" in his post-match interview.

    Stop the clock

    Think I said it earlier in this same thread, but I think people are massively under-estimating how much a stop clock system would change tactics and the way teams manage out games. Bizarre that the 2022 WC seemed to have found a solution for it but it just got quietly abandoned.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Portsmouth FC Match Thread - Wednesday 9th Apr

    People seriously suggesting Bell go in goal shows the problem with dropping Collins. Yes, you can banish your second-choice keeper and move on to your third or fourth-choice instead, but it likely means the rest of the team has to change shape and tactics just to accommodate. The only reason...

    Did he ask any questions about why Russian supermarkets are so good these days?

    I know none of our midfield three played well yesterday but I thought Torp was especially poor when he came on

    Keepers

    He’s had some dreadful runs recently (today included) but he hasn’t played badly in every game he’s played for us Fair enough if you want a ‘next man up’ approach to the GK position every time one of them makes a mistake, but where does that end up?
