I can only echo what's already been said plus:

Why does it take 20 minutes for about 20 people to get through a cash turnstile? If that had happened at the manor then some people would have missed the whole game. Pathetic!

I would feel sick if I was a Cov fan seeing all those wasps rubbing salt into the wounds regarding how they lost their stadium.

The Ricoh may look pretty but it has less soul than the Kassam!

Was there really 10k there tonight. The home section looked about 10 per cent full


Overall a very bad evening with very few highlights.

First half was poor. Coventry pressed us and stopped us playing from the back and had an extra man in midfield. The number 31 ran the show, particularly in the first half.

First goal was poor to give away. Lundstram was sloppy tonight but he had little time on the ball. That said, he gave them the chance with a poor ball where you would expect him to do better and we were punished with a wonder strike.

The second goal was abysmal. Shocking defending from Edwards and Eastwood. Whilst many will (understandably) point at Edwards, you have to question if he got a shout from Eastwood or not.

Second half was better. Crowley made a huge difference and should be looking to start on the basis of that cameo. Johnson did alright too but we had left it a bit late by then.

Ruffels was also a bright spot for me. Thought he had a lot to do but did most of it well.

I believe Raglan can play at right back. Would be interested to see how he'd do there till Ribeiro is back, with Nelson coming in at centre back. We definitely need more width.

Fans were fantastic apart from a couple of whining types who obviously expect us to smash every team in this league.

A disappointing evening but not a disaster.

We're known for it.

Cov Press dates back to the last century.

I am pretty certain that last century wasn't just back 17 years, but will just Google it to make sure and get back to you.

It was 100 years.

Pressing in sport originated with the great Ukranian sisters Irina Press and Tamara Press.
Here's one of them in the act of 'pressing'. The lady behind her is using an alternative technique that never caught on.

You can well understand their frustration at losing to such a lowly club...​

Fucking disrespectful when a manager doesn't applaud the other teams performance.
We got at Theo and didn't let them play, it wasn't them playing badly

Fuck them , guarantee we finish above them this season, and their Fans moaning about our empty seats only makes me realise that these small clubs come here thinking it's wembley or some premier league team they're coming to watch, twats definitely think this is their cup final
It's league 1 you dicks, average attendances around the league is barely 5k
Shake my head

Couldn't care less what their manager says. We won and they played very poorly. Their manager, their players and their fans know it. I'm sure behind closed doors he tore a strip off them.

I love it...their fans get mardy after being beaten so some of our fans start getting mardy about them.

I'm impressed by an impressive gorilla press, myself. Gorilla Monsoon and all that. Impressive presser.
