A lot of hot headed takes at the minute and suspect this thread will be bumped in a few months when we pick up our form.

Have you ever actually tried to politely ask someone to move slightly or even swap seats /vantage point? I’m quite tall and try to mindful if I’m in people’s way but unfortunately, there’s no eyes in the back of my head to always notice if I’m in the way.

It always is a free-for-all at away games. People not being able to buy with friends outside of points bands is possibly exacerbating the issue because you’ll have big groups people going to matches together but dotted over the place. Watford and Stoke away I’ve been consigned to the stairwell...

Definitely. I understand that family costs are combined, but we’re not a Mickey Mouse club that needs to do kids for a quid to get people through the door. Regularly in this thread people talk about ‘added costs’ like food and drink at the stadium. That irritates me because that is a...

It’s a midweek cup game that no one really cares about. It’s why it’s so important FA Cup ties are played on Saturdays, otherwise it kills the atmosphere. Looking at the Swansea game prices, £30 for an adult and £15 for U18s - it was an uproar over £5 extra for a kids ticket.

Agreed, looked good last night and against Watford with some impressive stats in interceptions so far. It’s routine for us Cov fans to panic early in the season when we’ve been slow starters in almost every season in MRs 2nd tenure. It was only our 2nd season back in Championship where we...

Fantastic ball, but as the statistics show, pass completion % is a lot lower than you’d want. He is improving and trying to get better in that facet of the game because he’s tried that kind of pass several times this season and most have gone wayward. It’s a difficult skill to master so it’s not...

Made some good saves last night and performed v well. It is, and always has been, his distribution that lets him down.

It’s easy to see why we signed him even though it was a strange signing at the time. He gave a good account of himself but he is very raw as a player - just as Vik was when he first joined.

I like him too, he does have a tendency to overplay at times and defensively looks a bit out of place playing RW. Overall, he’s a good player and will do well for us. If we can replicate the depth we in our forward department elsewhere, we would be unstoppable in this league.

Just got home from my drive home and honestly, really enjoyed the game tonight! Was disappointed with the result and the manner of it. The bigger picture was that there was so many positive performances against a good Prem team. Bassette was impressive, the first impressions is to draw...

Sheaf didn’t look 100% this evening and you’re quite right that the pass to Torp was a poor choice.

I thought that then seen our team… 😂

I understood the point perfectly. What I’m pointing out is that the quality of the data is poor and not v useful. I’m sure most teams around us would have similar drop offs if we did the same exercise to each of the 23 other teams. So the table would be mostly unchanged.

Checks out to me, their keeper made 2-3 top draw saves and Haji Wright’s winner alone would be at least 0.4 to 0.6 xG - about the same as a penalty. Our performances, whilst they haven’t been where they need to be, haven’t been as bad as some have made out. In my view, we’ll be rewarded with...

That’s 10th compared to all the other teams without the same adjustments i.e. removing their 2 best xG halves. By the sounds of it, that adjustment means we’re comparing Cov’s 4 games versus everyone else’s 5 games. The data manipulation means the 2 best indicators of performance have been...

What would the numbers look like if we stripped out the Stoke first half or Bristol second half? This is rhetorical because there’s no good manipulating the data to wipe out by far our two strongest half performances. To be 10th despite wiping that out shows that the performances aren’t as bad...

Agreed on corporate-speak but it’s still better than ‘Tynan Scope sacked as COO’… We all know it’s a euphemism in the same way a minister resigns ‘due to family reasons’. It’s to save a shred of dignity for the sacked person. Agreed on @Grendel’s ‘we’ll take that one away’ too! 😂

Cowardly? Why does the club need to humiliate an employee by posting ‘Tynan Scope has been sacked’.

£37 for fixture against a top 6 Prem side is not unreasonable at all… Most of the people in attendance will be STHs in any case.
