Today was an excellent performance and totally deserved win (forget about the manner of it). We were everything that we hadn't been in previous games - positive, aggressive in midfield, moved the ball quickly, and used the ball in the final third intelligently. Our decision making was vastly...

Sorry for the longish post, and I know it's still very early days with the transfer window still open, but alarm bells are ringing imo. We haven't scored in four games now, which is dreadful for a team that was playing in a higher league last year. We have made some simply shocking decisions...

We can't seem to get past old managers can we. I'm glad it's done and we can start planning for next season, and there's no doubting that NC can be successful. But I can't help feeling we're setting ourselves up for another fall. What worries me most about this is that when we're talking about a...

And we still have boardroom and managerial appointments to entertain us. Before you even get to play recruitment. The unfortunate new gazette writer is going to have a job on!

But ultimately it's a thoroughly deserved relegation. Gutted, but not surprised. In fact, I thought tonight was like a microcosm of the season as a whole: - Plenty of effort, but didn't quite have the end quality - Came up against an average side who racked up the yellows because they fouled...

I find it hard to criticise any of the players tonight, they tried their utmost and had we had our finishing boots on might've won. How shameful it is though, that they've only been given a manager that actually believes in and recognises the abilities they have, with six games to go. Yes we...

One of the few bright spots this season has been this guy. We've signed a proper good 'un I think, a player with quality, a great attitude and has taken to Championship football like a duck to water. Looked equally comfortable on the left as he does on the right. In fact, if him and Gabriel stay...

It was always a faint hope, but today just confirms what was quite likely really. The board can't make so many terrible mistakes in a short space of time and get away with it I'm afraid. We've turned down strikers due to injury problems, and yet have all four of our strikers out injured now...

We can have no complaints today, well beaten. Coventry are a far better team than QPR were and far better than us. In every department. There's not much point in complaining about the ref or the number of away fans, they simply have better players than us right now. That's the standard of the...

14 games without a win, and incapable of keeping all 11 players on the pitch because we're constantly chasing shadows due our piss poor midfield. This has been an absolutely shocking season in every department. A string of ridiculous, non-sensical decisions by the board in managerial...

Than the manager making his first sub immediately after we concede a goal when we're crying out for a change well before that? Happened today, happened at Wigan, I'm sure there are others. Always reactive, never proactive. Always hoping for a result, never forcing a result. I think someone else...

Right now I think this is what we are lacking the most. We don't have a leader on the pitch imo, and you look to the sidelines and the dugout and I don't think we have one there either. We ought to make this the absolute priority over the next few weeks. In summer, we signed completely the...

I can only assume that the illness has played havoc with the team and training this last week, as I think MA mentioned, because that was totally abject from every single player from start to finish. If they are suffering illness throughout the team then I can forgive it. Let's hope so. Having...

Our performance today was a mile away from the one at West Brom. I came away gutted we didn't get anything, but we clearly didn't deserve that result, and it was a top effort by the players given the circumstances. A few points. Firstly, we have so many absences now that if we get any more...

First sentence: "Coventry City blew their chance to escape the Championship bottom three for the first time this season as the virus-hit Sky Blues allowed Blackpool to come from behind to win at the CBS Arena." Or what it should say: "Blackpool showed their quality by fighting back for a...

After two really poor defeats to Millwall and Rotherham (especially Rotherham), where I just started to have one or two doubts as to our ability to compete in this league, the following games have been encouraging to say the least. If you'd told me after Rotherham that we'd play Norwich...

A great, confidence boosting win yesterday against a side with some very expensive players in their team. It was just what we needed after a poor run, and the signs have been there for a couple of games now. I said during the week that I've seen relegated 'pool teams numerous times (as many of...

1, We played ok. Not great, but it was decent against one of the leagues best sides. 2. The stats showed they were better than us, but not by much 3. The ref was crap, but not the reason we lost. 4. They were gifted the goal. If we can't stop doing that, it's going to be a long and difficult...

In fact it was beyond bad. Rotherham are not a team who will be finishing above around 16th and we were completely outclassed by them imo. None of our players can pass a football accurately or put enough weight on it. Not one. That's worrying. I get that we've been without midfielders, but he...

If the board ever needed a reminder that we can't allow the deadline to slip by tomorrow without making some key signings, then tonight was it. Started well, Rovers scored against the run of play with their first chance, and it went mostly downhill from there. What worries me is how easily...
