If they are as bad as Barnet were in front of goal then I don't see a problem

Yeah, wouldn't have mattered if Burge had been ill for that game, we could have just put in a cardboard cut out or a wet sponge. Their shooting was abysmal.

Simeon Jackson: the most disappointing signing in recent years in my book... thought he'd be decent, was very disappointing....

Mind you, I remember thinking that Darius Henderson would be a useful loan at the time! Didn't realise that his legs had completely gone....

Sometimes I think a little more faith is required, we are clearly getting results against teams that in previous season we would have drawn or lost to.

3-0 Cov

I want to feel confident about it, but there's always that feeling there where it could be a silly goalkeeping mistake like Newport or Exeter.

Hopefully JCH will bully Clarke a bit though, he is probably as slow as me so hopefully we can take advantage of that.

Heart says 3-0 us.
Head says 2-1 us.

Neither did he until he was put clean through at Peterborough.

Was it for Walsall where Jackson came on and I think got an assist or scored?

Has Vernam ever played? He was injured for us most of the time, when he did appear his boots were very clean though.

Clarke has no turning ability, so if players run at him with pace and twist and turn, he usually ends up on his backside or blowing out his cheeks.

I see you had sold 600 tickets by Wednesday I believe, not a bad effort considering. Are your idiots expected to tag along for this one? I know they were expecting trouble when we came up earlier in the season and it didn’t materialise.

The team should remain unchanged, injuries permitting. Really hope we turn a corner and smash someone 3 or 4-0.

I’m actually really looking forward to tomorrow. Especially as I’ve had to miss the last few for various reasons.

I am feeling confident re play offs and if we keep winning then the autos may well be a possibility.

It would be great for us to win convincingly for a change; especially with Clarke’s lack of pace. Surely the game plan has to be balls behind for JCH/McNulty and potentially even Reid on the wing too. Surely we have to go all out attack against a poor side (based on league position) with no confidence.

The EFL have confirmed who will be the match officials against Grimsby Town this weekend.

Ollie Yates will be the man in the middle of the Sky Blues clash against the Mariners in Sky Bet League Two action.

This season, Yates has officiated in just the one League Two game, during last week’s match between Cheltenham and Chesterfield, where the game ended 1-1 and during the match Ollie gave three yellow cards.

It will be the first time since October 2016, when the Sky Blues beat Northampton Town 3-1 in the Checkatrade Trophy at the Ricoh Arena.

He will be assisted by Ronald Ganfield and Kevin Morris, while Trevor Kettle will act as fourth official.

I hope Trevor Kettle doesn't have to step in. He's always whistling.
