I find him so frustrating, he plays some beautiful passes, drifts into space, plays on the half turn and can have a brilliant touch. But he gives the ball away a lot, and unlike Le Tiss or Tadic, he doesn’t give it away by trying something difficult or high risk, he gives it away doing simple stuff. One minute he picks a great pass, the next he’s got a really easy pass and he doesn’t make it. One minute he takes a good touch in a difficult situation, the next it bounces off him when he’s under no particular pressure. I guess if he didn’t have these flaws he wouldn’t be playing for us, but fuck me it’s infuriating.

Is this what qualifies for analysis nowadays, peak fucking Nod. What with Clinton fucking Morrison & the dopey birds, a dedicated sports broadcaster, dumbing down sports broadcasting.

I don’t take back anything . He was awful for a long spell this season, his attitude stunk and he didn’t appear to want to be here. He was too negative and his constant sideways and backwards ball recycling was damaging the team and reminding me of Lego ball. I would also question his commitment on occasions. Whether it’s down to him, the new manager, or better health & mental wellbeing, or a combination of all three, but he’s a completely different player now. I would have fucked him off in Jan, but luckily more qualified people than me make those decisions. Personally , I didn’t think he would come good, and I was wrong about that. However, as well as he’s playing now, it still doesn’t alter the fact he was fucking abysmal earlier in the season.

You gotta laugh. Every time we lose, there’s complaints about the opposition, or referee or some other conspiracy against us. Yet as soon as other supporters do exactly the same, they’re “entitled twats” 😂. Just imagine those 2 challenges being on Azaz & Leo in the Wrexham game, the nods would be going nuts. On the whole Coventry are a decent bunch, one eyed like 99% of supporters, but they deserve this success more than most in this league. As for the incidents THB was embarrassing, I thought Downes was trying to protect the ball, so give him the benefit of the doubt. The other one I’m not so sure, from memory, Matsuki does have a history of clumsy challenges. Their one, again probably give the bloke benefit of the doubt. Penalty, defo, Charles needs to look at himself a bit there. Needed to be careful and focused in that moment, bit too causal for me. East one to give at 2-0, might have thought twice if 1-0….

With Lego head thinking we could outplay the league we were. Tonda says he wanted experienced players in Jan, players who had played in various other leagues, he wanted Bree involved. What happened, he got them. Why didn’t lego, the bloke who praised Archer, said if he didn’t have Baz would want to sign him, do similar. The manger isn’t some innocent bystander, he’s an integral part of recruitment. Do people really believe SR suddenly decided to loan Baz out, get an experienced big man up top in, and not send Bree back to Charlton, without any prompting from Tonda, that it would of happened regardless of who was manager. The “domed before we started” line of thought has been discredited by Leeds, Sunderland & Burnley, 2 of whom may well go down. But they’ll go down fighting, not being a total embarrassment. Let’s not forget, Tonda has beaten as many Premier league teams as Lego already.

Here’s one thing this blokes done, that Lego couldn’t and it’s a massive part of the management game. He’s made players better. Because people were wrong about Martin (and Baz) they blame “recruitment “ as if coaching, setting teams up correctly & making players better has nothing to do with managing the club. Here’s another fact, had Tonda been at Rangers, he’d have done a better job than that dick.

Not this nonsense again. Last season was on Lego head, pure and simple. As his record in Scotland shows, he’s a shite manager who was out of his depth. A decent manager playing proper football would have given us a chance. Just as Leeds, Burnley & Sunderland are still in with a chance of staying up. There will not be a repeat of last season, unless we are managed by an arrogant cock again.

He’s done a really good job, intelligent young manager who has pretty much guaranteed himself another crack next season. He is not however, “great”, is not “by far the best manager in the league”, and at the moment there is no need to extend his contract.

Don’t be a fucking nod. The interviewer was trying to get a reaction, he didn’t say anything any manager wouldn’t have said. Had those 2 incident been on our players, you’d be the first whining about it…

Fuck me, calm down.

The Manager got his tactics spot on today. Coventry took about 25 mins to come to terms with our set up, we came out positively after half time, got our noses in front, defended properly, pinched a second and then hung on determinedly at the end. Perfect away performance. All without our best striker and our best player. Keeper, superb save, and a clam and determined presence in the side. Tough game for Bree but he played their dangerous winger extremely well. The centre halves were excellent, as was Manning. Everybody did their job, even Archer didn’t look completely useless today. Added bonus was no booking for THB, Downes or Bree. Proper performance…

If Wrexham, us, Derby, Watford, Birmingham, Swansea, Bristol City, Sheffield Utd and Preston hit a sticky patch, I fancy to Norwich to take full advantage and sneak into the play offs.

I’d rather be kicked in the balls than hit over the head with a baseball bat.

Seeing as we didn’t win any of them and it’s still in our own hands, how were any these games. “Must win”. 🤡

The whole atmosphere seems to have changed round the club since he left. THB & Downes are digging in and looking like completely different players. Attitudes look far better since the “vice captain” was binned. Coincidence? Maybe, but this doesn’t look anything like the club Alfie House said needed to lose a few bad apples…
