that's a hell of an effort for the first game of preseason, mid-week, in not exactly the greatest summer we've ever had

Decent game that Coventry controlled until the multiple second half changes. The RWB was superb and has a great low centre of gravity and glided past a few players with ease. Looks like he might be the starting RWB and took corners tonight in Gus's absence. Jay looked decent at LWB without doing anything outstanding. He is obviously well suited to possession based football. Sheaf and Kelly were good in the middle and Simms showed he has lots to offer in front of goal. Was clear that while they were not under pressure the CBs were not a unit and that area of the pitch along with another forward would be the areas I would like to see further adressed next. No 49 up top did a decent job at linking the play and a loan somewhere at Forest Greens level might be what he needs.

Not that i saw!! On a serious note he will know the J League well and I think Robins and the recruitment team might be wise to ask him who he would recommend the club might want to scout in CB and forward roles.

Hmm not sure that is correct. I would say we outnumbered them 3 to 1. One stand closed, only about 50 or so behind the other goal and then a couple hundred in the main stand.

Last time they gave us the end under cover behind the goal. Was hardly high profile or required segregation tonight but bizarrely left that one closed.

Usual. Nothing special or flashy but ok. To me he's never stood out even in L2 days but equally I reckon he could do that same job on the prem. He's always 6.5/10 for me, never good, never bad just steady.

Last note on the game, was sat in the main stand with my 11yr old lad. We are local to FGR and would probably class them as our 2nd team (sacrilege!) His school even has an ambassador scheme with them. Lots of his mates and teachers are full on supporters...

That said as we sat in amongst the FGR fans just before kick off he whispered in my ear that he hopes Cov smash them! He was up out his seat a few mins later giving it double fist pumps as Simms and Palmer scored absolutely zero incognito mode.. good lad. Never felt prouder

564 from Cov sounds like it might have been more is incredible to be honest FGR is a right ball-ache get too especially for a night game, be interesting the numbers that turn up for Shrewsbury and MK Dons.
Are those games pay on the gate ?

I was sat in the main stand which seemed pretty full to me so have no reason to doubt their numbers.

It was nowhere near full - centre blocks were reasonably busy but the rest were almost empty.

Probably just based on what they sold via Cov. Walk up probably purchased tickets in their parts of the ground.

Reckon there will be at least double that 564 for the Shrewsbury match and more for MK Dons.
Then Exeter to view all our yet to see or know new superstars will be loads of Cov holidaying in Devon & Dorset nice shortish trip for them, leave her in doors on the beach, happy days.

Sadly, no! I thought Tatsu would play at RWB at least some of the time. I take it he's not doing much defending?

He did actually. He is one of those weird players who is skilful AND gets stuck in. Early days, but he looks a great player.
