I always remember a post match phone in from the late 90s. The caller said ‘hi Rob, how come every time I hear your voice I want to have a wank?’. Rob was so embarrassed

Agree with everything youve said except BinksHome.
Dovin made a few good saves, his punches are gonna land us in trouble though.
Not convinced that Binks is the calm, assured head he’s made out to be.
Rudoni, Eccles, Torp all poor. But seriously, in general, what is Torp offering to this team. Never thought I’d say it, but Palmer gives us more. Personally have seen enough of Torp.
Sakamoto looked terrified and knackered.
We knew Wright was better on the left, so I’m sort of wondering why we signed EMC just to throw him on the right where he’s no good.
Simms absolutely fuck all to feed off.
BTA is a good signing and should be starting games.
If it’s another season of turning up in the 65th minute, then it’s another season below top 6.
He seems to have a weird fixation on Dovin being poor as well.Rob Gurney is just dull.
Sorry to come in a bit late on this, but not having listened to CWR commentary for a while, is Rob Gurney back now?
Torp and Allen are not starters. Maybe impact subs. That’s about it. We need to find a midfield general who can attack, defend, spray passes about. Until we do, we have to somehow bridge the glaring midfield gap with the people we have. Obviously Sheaf’s absence exacerbates the problem and we haven’t figured out how to make things work in order to be more fluid from back to front. Not sure if this new guy Bassette can help in that regard. Really hoping we bring in midfield reinforcements this week.‘decent’ doesn’t get you top two though
Torp is weird because he should have a high bar in terms of potential but doesn’t seem to be progressing at the minute, that game against Man Utd last season showed what he’s capable of but he needs to perform to that level regularly…Eccles also needs to push on, but he’s a bit further ahead in terms of appearances and yet still pretty average at the minute.
I’m not convinced either are the answer, we need Sheaf back and two very good starters in the middle, Eccles and Torp aren’t going to get us promoted in my opinion
It all stems from the unwillingness of Torp and Eccles to take the ball from the centre backs to try and pass through the lines, Rudoni didn't help at all either.Yeah, 2 games out of the 3 we've only had 2 efforts on target in 3 hours. Some very talented attacking players but there is a missing link atm. It will come, but midfield is a worry.
I'm not sure at this point the defence is the problem , I'm sure we can use a variation of centre backs at our disposal and the results will be the same .. we are struggling in midfield and the back line have little protection .
I hope we do some business this week
As above the positive from today is being able to play quite poorly for large parts and still pick up points , we have several more gears
Was the caller Clive?I always remember a post match phone in from the late 90s. The caller said ‘hi Rob, how come every time I hear your voice I want to have a wank?’. Rob was so embarrassed
yeah, you’d probably want a more defensive minded / stronger tackling midfielder in with him, but for instance you could play Sheaf, Rudoni and say one of EMC / BTA / KP more advanced

We’d get mullered if we played 4-4-2View attachment 37999
Is it too early to ask us to look towards a 4-4-2 in the next match. Gets our wingers more involved in the play and allows Simms to have a partner to knock balls onto.
Eccles just isn’t as good as a lot of Cov fans think.I think Torp and Eccles are too similar and can’t play together.
7 points from 9? 4 games multipled by 3 points per game = 12. Norwich are our bogey team as well.Wouldnt make too many changes to the system just yet, win saturday and that’s 7 points from 9, steady start to the season, sheaf coming backs huge plus Rodriguez still to come back and we’ve got a very good squad, one more midfielder would help but if not wev‘e got enough, between rudoni sheaf Eccles torp and Palmer there’s a system there somewher,just need to find it,
Oxford today and Saturday = 97 points from 9? 4 games multipled by 3 points per game = 12. Norwich are our bogey team as well.
Don't agree. Clive gets way too excited about very little, too often. RG by contrast is a measured commentator & is knowledgeable on the City past & present. He & Steve Og' complimented each other well yesterday. We are lucky to have a CWR "squad" who clearly care about the outcome & performance of Sky Blues matches.Rob Gurney is just dull.
Give it a rest. Youve only been on here a month and all ready boring the fck out of most of us with your childish commentsCareful, happy clap crew will attack you.
Eccles just isn’t as good as a lot of Cov fans think.
You have a cohort of fans who think he’s ‘useless’ and another cohort who think he’s the second coming of Christ.
My opinion is that he’s not quite good enough to run that midfield on his own. He’s a good player but he’s not someone who can run that midfield on his own like Sheaf or Hamer imo.
Home.

Oh yes.Do people really care about league position 3 games in?

I thought Rudoni certainly worked hard. He was though a bit headlessIf O'Hare put in a performance like Rudoni did today, he'd be accused of not being arsed
Did Karen Carney shout really loud ?Listened to that new cov podcast and they had Karen Carney on who made some good points that boiled down to:
1) a point on the road is good
2) BC won the tactical game. They packed the midfield, always had spare options to pass to, and we were overrun because of it.
3) Dovin should’ve been 20 yards further out of goal when we’re in possession to become an extra player and push the rest of the team further forward.
4) Eccles was playing a pointless game. MVE is amazing, he doesn’t need Eccles to screen him all the time.
The trouble now is that there are to many coaches from the dug out shouting instructions at players they dont know who to listen to ,even Robins looks confused, he tells them one thing and the coaches shout different, there was about six shouting yesterday
