I don't have confidence in Rhodes as a lone striker, think he's always preferred a partner up top. But we need to control central midfield so how about a diamond / 4-3-1-2?: Grimshaw Gabriel / Ekpiteta / Casey / Husband Byers / Norburn / Morgan Dembele Rhodes / Joseph Get's all of our best...

At one point Marv was pressed quite well by their striker and literally his only available option, without getting tackled or kicking the ball out of play, was to play the ball back to O'Donnell. And people in the West still groaned when he did it. Moaning for the sake of moaning. Never played...

I was delighted when Critch did that. We really do have some fucki*g morons in our fan base.

You would never see a defender from a National League Team invited to be a pitch side pundit at Arsenal vs Everton for example. Why? Because they've never played at a level that high. They wouldn't be able to offer any sort of insight into the demands of that level, or tell us what the players...

All 6 teams across the play off finals last year played 3-5-2. Coventry occasionally play a 3-4-2-1 but on the whole they play with two strikers. So I don't think the formation is the problem and I can understand why Critchley is persisting with this system, especially when our only options for...

Weirdest fan base ever you lot … a few years of freebies and heavily discounted tickets now you believe you have some sort of incredible support 🤣

Imagine what it's going to be like on here when we actually lose a game 🤣

His style of play is a bullshit narrative which was created following his departure first time. I don’t recall hardly anybody complaining about it when we were storming up the league in League 1, and when he kept us up comfortably in the championship. Or is everyone just now hooked by that...

Pray for Jaffa.

Makes sense if we’re just going to ignore the fact the WSL is nowhere near close to League 2 standard, never mind League one.

I can definitely see a 5-4-1 / 5-2-3, with Bowler and Yates either side of Madine.

Not necessarily. You can still play a back 5 and have 2 wide men either side of a striker (most likely Madine).

Supposedly due in Blackpool this afternoon with his entourage. You'd think if he's making the effort to travel here then everything would have been agreed previously over the phone / zoom call.

Appointing somebody like Mick McCarthy until the end of the season makes complete sense and it’s worrying that people aren’t able to see that. We’re in a relegation battle here.

He would keep us up, which is all we can ask for right now. Short term deal until the end of the season please.
