    Brad Collins

    Has anyone checked Collins’ betting activity? Just a joke (I think) On a serious note, once a keeper gets spooked, it can take a year or two to recover any kind of confidence. (E.g.Leighton, Karius) I hope he’s ok and can rebuild his career (as long as he’s not chucking matches) but he just...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Norwich play Cardiff last day of season which means that one time Arsenal wonderkids Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey will be the opposing managers. That’s enough to make me feel a bit old.

    Highfield Road 1967

    As Hobo said, most of the old signs were thick and ornate things, presumably cast-iron. Often mounted at high level on the walls of the first available brick wall in the street. I grew up near HR but can’t remember all the sign locations tbf. I would guess yours isn’t from Cov as the font and...

    Bidwell can play LCB and actually, as pointed out above, could be a reasonable shout to start. It’s a bit left heavy though. If something happened to Lati, you’re looking at drafting MVE or Sheaf in as RCB, assuming Thomas isn’t ready yet.

    Sheff Utd at it again

    You could argue they are entitled to celebrate in their ground including on their way to tunnel although I do think they might have lingered a bit in front of the away section 😉

    Sheff Utd at it again

    Yeah and he wondered why Plymouth wanted to celebrate in front of Sheff U after he said they were bottom for a reason. It’s such transparent manufactured bullshit from Wilder. Needs a proper dose of football Karma.

    Brad Collins

    I get what you’re saying but the defence do sometimes have good games. Often the individuals can look good and in a few games they have looked ok as a collective. There are many problems with Collins now. The biggest one is that he is so shot that he will likely crumble under any pressure...

    Grimes Sheaf Rudoni

    I was out all day yesterday and not in a position to write much. But the idea that a stranger came on a football forum to pick me up on my use of slang was too funny for me at times.

    Not normally one to bleat…

    Styles had two arms round Saka and bundled him over. Not the worst I’ve seen but you are asking for a card doing that. When on a yellow already (having also got away with one), it’s utter madness and the bloke then gives it the old victim routine afterwards…. Whatever you think of the BBC, it’s...

    Grimes Sheaf Rudoni

    If they’re all fit and in form, that trio is absolute filth at this level.

    Who do you want to be relegated / promoted?

    Leeds, Burnley, Sunderland (hospital pass) Derby, Cardiff, Luton Birmingham, Wycombe, Charlton Not necessarily what I’d bet on happening and in the case of Blues, wish it wasn’t happening

    Sheff Utd at it again

    I think he is potentially quite close to the sack or walking away. He’s pissed off the fans who already knew that the team was riding its luck. Doing a team debrief on the pitch and then kicking off in the tunnel. The guy is such a gigantic bell end that it could get very toxic very quickly.

    Yes. It’s unusual and not taking charge. But you can see Kitching thinking about it and going ‘I’m gonna do this anyway’

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

    First goal was nearly as annoying. Yeah Grimes gives it away but we had a chance to fix it. Instead, we had ball watching at its worst. Three defenders going for the same man/ball and leaving 2 Burnley players unmarked. Really basic failure to scan and communicate.

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

    Yes and you’re right that communication should be better. But Kitching has still seen all that and made the wrong choice by giving Collins a ball he can’t deal with.

    Agreed. Collins should have cleared it. But just the wrong decision to cushion header it when your keeper is advancing out of the box.
