They're having enough trouble with the current roadworks on campus to facilitate a stadium designed for a few thousand people. Finished by the time term starts they said. I'm sitting at four way traffic lights and it's nearly CHRISTMAS.
I'm joining the 3pm protests and bringing my tazer.
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift - Coventry City and the Ricoh Arena
I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift - Ken Dulieu
22 - Taylor Swift - an ode to new signing Pennington
Blank Space - Taylor Swift - 2/3 of the Ricoh
You may have noticed a trend - they're all about...
That may be the case, but I don't believe either just happened upon goalscoring forwards and rode their luck all the way, just that Pressley made use of them by sacrificing all notions of defending.
True, but I'd argue that he allowed them to be prolific rather than it being something that would just have happened regardless.
The same kind of thing was said about Mark Robins and while he'll always be on my shitlist, I similarly don't buy the argument that he only did well because...
Despite me having a handbag slapfight with tony on page 1, I agree with him absolutely about last season. Pressley did an admirable job despite the late season falter and to claim that was just the players whereas this season is all him is moving the goalposts a little too much to suit an agenda.
Yeah, I mean this season specifically. We've gone from lofty ambition to nervous glances at the table with the same group of players outside the odd change, so it can't be all working conditions and money.
One of the reasons I couldn't see a new stadium built is that it'd mean a new one was sat unused nearby. Having a second stadium seems less ridiculous as a concept now there's top flight sport at the Ricoh either way, but still, nah.
I'm all for the idea of Pressley being given adequate time and all, but the notion that he's doing as well as anyone else possibly could with the same players is ludicrous. We were on the cusp of the top six at one point with the same players who now are flirting with relegation. At some point...
