    We’d already be in the playoffs if Dovin were fit. The team have fought so hard for that and he’s thrown it away. I’m really not one for criticising individual players, but it’s impossible to back him any more. Has to be Wilson next week.

    I was thinking more about 1 minute after half time than during. Dabo should get a cheer.

    Overrated players

    Only time I’ve ever been hit by the ball was a Keith O’Neill shot. He hit the bar in the warm up and it looped on to me. Spilled my tea everywhere.

    I think it’s the ‘touches in the box’ metric that was the difference maker. They always had time and space in our box, and that shouldn’t happen. Our defence has a terrible habit of ball watching. The Brewster goal was a classic where everyone falls to the six yard box, and no one covers a man...

    Help for Sunderland lad

    Donated too. Would be great to see a few of us help out with this.

    anyone else see that bit in the second half when MVE held off one of their players to let the ball go out for a goal kick, and then did that muscle man pose for the crowd? It‘s a tiny thing I know, but it was just so cool, and emblematic of that brilliant relationship between the players and the...

    Jamie allen

    I’m not sure he controlled the game, but he definitely sets the tone. When he’s having one of his Kante games, when he’s everywhere, it just lifts the whole team. Thought Ebou Adams had a similar sort of game for Derby on Tuesday.

    Just back from the game and that was sensational. Lampard has got them playing well and he must feel like he’s got a brand new £20m striker up front. The work rate from Allen, Grimes, Torp, MVE and Sakamoto was amazing. Even when we lost the ball you just knew we’d win it right back. Allen must...

    The first goal wasn’t BTAs fault. Our whole back four and two of our midfielders were in position when he lost it. The fact that 3 Stoke players managed to beat six Cov players so easily is entirely down to our defending. It reminded me slightly of the goal conceded at home to Sheff Wed where we...

    The ghost of O’Hare finally laid to rest?

    It was a fantastic cross and a lovely flick. Wish Meslier had played like this against us.

    The ghost of O’Hare finally laid to rest?

    I think that’s the problem though, we’re not trying to ‘imagine’ anything. We’re trying to make a comparison using stats derived from their actual contribution to games. I’m sure CoH is having a good season, but I wouldn’t swap him for Rudoni. Sheffield United finished 19 points above us the...

    The ghost of O’Hare finally laid to rest?

    He’s comparing players, and you’re comparing teams. You surely know that doesn’t make sense.

    I have same problem. Bought it a second time and still not working.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ofc but there’s a much bigger problem than than this. Private Equity is sucking money and jobs out of the country from every angle. They own the fostering agencies, the care homes, the specialist care centres, almost everywhere the government is spending money they’re there on the other side...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s part of the problem, but biggest single issue is the rapacity of Private Equity. Macquarie hollowed out Thames, loaded it with debt, and dumped it on some other poor mugs to carry the can, in this case ultimately the tax payer. But everywhere across the UK and the US these companies are...

    Jack Rudoni

    It’s a lot closer if you compare him to Hamer, but he still wins 12-10. Right now I’m racking my brains for another championship attacking midfielder that I could compare him to. Edit: tried Jobe Bellingham and they are tied

    Jack Rudoni

    Rudoni is better. If you go to WhoScored website you can compare any two players. In 25 metrics, Rudoni is ahead in 17, and Coh is ahead in 3. Key differences Rudoni has more goals and assists. Rudoni makes a lot more passes and crosses. CoH has better pass completion (81.9 to 80.4), but Rudoni...
