It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 58480 viewsFDC

In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these.

I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp.

We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend.

Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out.

Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB.

0-3

Eoioin Jess comes out of retirement to bum our gobs.


I meant 3-0 to them. But, even then, boy was I hopeful.

Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

It was so embarrassing to leave at ground after 68 mins and being 7 nil down to see the stewards and police trying not to snigger as we left in our droves. The players should have been made to walk the couple of miles up to the m6 just to see what it feels like to feel the same.

Don't think we should blame Nourry - blame his influencer, Fred Karno.

I was there today. It was an utter embarrassment. Stephan is not picking that side. We have to get away from this obsession of every player only playing to make money for the club. We are an utter shambles. The gk is not good enough. The back line is appalling and the midfield is equally as bad. We need some serious work in the transfer window. Nourry’s little puppet is having a shocker. If we continue in this manner then they both have to go. This will upset the pro-Nourry fans. But today is clear evidence we can’t continue in this way. Nourry’s project is failing miserably.

Am on a family holiday in the Greek isles at the moment and left for dinner at 7-0.
Whilst piling into my all you can eat feast I was wondering if would be 8, 9 or 10… at least.

Got back to the room and refreshed my phone and was ‘pleased’ it was 7-1. Let that sink in, fkin ‘pleased’ that it didn’t get near to double figures.

What a shambles, feel for those who went.

Footage of Kolli going over and apologising. Don't think anyone can say this kid doesn't care. Really disappointing to hear of others just disappearing after the game



That showed some real balls from Kolli, to actually go up to the fans and apologise...well done young man at least you didn't run away!

Not enjoyable sitting amongst the Cov fans I can tell you.

I hate to get upset over a QPR result, because we've been hurt so many times in the last 20 years, but what gets me upset about the Cov loss is our defending.

The last two seasons and a half we've survived, in this league, by the skin of our teeth, by good defending.

Where was the defending today?

It was upsetting.

IMHO, Cook needs to be benched with M & M our CB pairing.

Stop piss balling from the back and become a proper defensive unit like we have been.

That first goal we conceded is a carbon copy of of the first goal we conceded against Watford.

I slapped my forehead as the ball went into the back of the net.

Back to basics yet again.

I'm usually a jug half full kinda guy, but I would love to know what he said and also if he was reprimanded for actually showing heart, passion and honesty by speaking to the fans and potentially divulging information to them about the behind the scenes situation and the pro7ect in general, and you can be sure he was asked exactly what he said.

In summary, respect to Kolli.

I've got the Power.

Kolli’s effort was probably the highlight of the day, along with Kone getting the goal.

No doubt we will hear that Cov are the new Watford and are champions elect now.

Whilst we were awful, credit to them for being well organised, coached and clinical with their finishing. Credit to us for several assists.

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

Really peed with Kolli for this.

If he is divulging our secret plans to all and sundry how can we use our plans to outfox the opposition anymore.

If he is saying what the plan is, we will find out what exactly Nourry does.

Kolli transfer listed tomorrow morning....

I wonder if this is Walsh's 'Matt Ingram' moment. Jettisoned and barely seen again.

Coincidentally, after we got pumped by 7-1 WBA in 18/19 we then brought in Schteve's 'team of men'. That went well...

I went to the Ipswich v Southampton game last Sunday and both teams were playing out from the back.Neither of them looked comfortable doing it either,and they were in the premier league last season.
If it ain’t working,ditch it.Or at least mix it up a bit.Surely it’s better to lose the ball half rather than our own penalty area?
