Missed the game as I was away for the day, but caught the result last night.

I appreciate it`s only been one game, but what`s the initial impression, has anything improved or is it more of the same ?

Trying hard to be positive. You could see he was trying something and the players just didn’t fully understand their jobs. So it’s hard to judge whether he’s tried the wrong thing, tried something too complex too early, or just not had enough time.

Between Everton and his 2 Nd spell at Chelsea he won something like 2 games out of 24. How about he's not very good really.

Yeah but come on SB at Everton he had a mental overly involved chairman and at Chelsea a squad that was mentally checked out, so completely different story

That was his biggest problem with us, persisting with a system that didn’t suit a limited set of players.

Only my opinion, but I feel that sometimes when a very talented player becomes a manager of a club without the players to play at tje standard he played at, they seem to struggle sometimes, due to expecting too much from them.

Roy Keane being a very good example and Rooney is tanking at the mo at Plymouth too.

I once had someone on here say that I thought I was better than him because I was a Lord.

Didn't think that at all.

Was because he was a fucking idiot!

Good luck for tonight lads, the Everton fanbase ( well the sane ones ) will be rooting for you tonight.

There`s been a lot of support for Coventry on the blue half of Merseyside since Frank took over

Cheers mate… looking forward to visiting that amazing new ground of yours next year. Few Cov going up to Liverpool for the final goodbye to the grand old lady on the 18th. My family are all up there for the day. Going to be emotional for the blue noses… of which the wife is one. Any idea what’s happening to the bricks? Father in law has one.

I don’t think there’s been a definitive decision about the bricks and even the old wooden seats yet.

There‘s been a lot of talk about possibly selling them off for charity, but that will only happen once the old ground starts getting demolished.

Would it surprise you that ticket for the last home ground are going for silly amounts on the ticket sites !
