    Anyone mention the ball launched from Rushworth ahead of the ‘MVE penalty.’ What a signing this season. Also good to have blokes on the team who are very capable of slotting it in from the edge of the area - notably Torp and Eccles. You could almost say Frank Lampard style. Add a top class 10...

    He's grown on me this season Paul. But I honestly miss the more iconic commentary and moments from Clive - very special on our rise from L2.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    All opinions Sparksy. Grimes in my view is the most complete defensive midfielder I have ever seen in our shirt. 100% makes us tick. Torp is more on an 8.

    Milan Van Ewijk and Tatsu Sakamoto - Casualties of the System

    Just my view we look far more balanced with a midfield 3 and 1 forward supported by EMC and Saka. We control the tempo of the game and possession far more with the 3 in midfield. I would guess that the preferred midfield three is Grimes/Rudi/Torp (with Eccles very close to a starting place)...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Ruling out one of the most complete midfielders I have ever seen in a City shirt since 1980 seems premature to me. Grimes is absolute class and the first name on the team sheet this season and next.

    Rowleys green roundabout

    If promoted a mega statue of Doug in CCFC speedos. CCFC chest tattoo. Hair immaculate. Kicking a prostrate Rob Gurney and Lorna Bailey for their part in the CWR disgrace that was the conference after Mark Robins left. Contemporary story telling and a perfect introduction to Cov.

    Atmosphere

    Is it ok to have a different view London? I’ve been watching clips of games at HR from the mid 80s - atmosphere is non existent. Also late 70s, Cov at Newcastle. Again very quiet. On a completely different point (and nothing to do with your point) not that long ago as we were crashing out of...

    Disagree with the EMC comments. He’s always an outlet for us and for anyone in the stadium today - obvious how influential he is for our team. One of Frank’s first names on the team sheet and rightly so.

    Ex Player Watch

    Exactly that was one of the great individual performances by one of our players. Bright was simply on a different level. Very few games where I have seen one of our players dominate a game so completely - Huckerby at Leeds boxing day was another example, Vik and Hamer on different levels...

    disagree on the awful game comment Steve 101. it was a very good and controlled away performance against a team bang in form.

    Match Thread Wrexham AFC - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 31st Oct

    100% Pusb1. We have to bring on either Eccles or Torp in place of Allen at half time to gain back control and presence in midfield. I see Allen as a finisher in the last 20 and not a starter. BTA has been amazing this season but Wright is being crowded out by BTA in this formation - and BTA's...

    I agree with you CKNQ. I also more importantly wish the term 'meh' could be banned from UK forums - it's an import from The Simpsons and is up there with 'my bad' and 'coming this fall' in creeping Americanisation.

    Blackburn Ratings

    actually agree with all of the above Fatso - but we have a real player there and with the high class coaching team in place - we'll see a more complete player as we move forward.

    Blackburn Ratings

    A shout out for EMC. Not at 100% in terms of the final ball but is a menace on the counter with the pace to burn most full backs in this division. Has a big future with us. Love watching him play.

    It's all down to the goalies being useless of course. :)

    Wright

    Only on SBT would 2 excellently taken goals by our main striker be somehow twisted by a few on here as a negative. Amazing even by SBT lunacy.

    Yes JHB - I was there for my sins. Looks like testimonials are a thing of the past - anyone remember the last testimonial game for one of our players?
