Coventry Reflection
at 19:10 31 Jan 2026

Really pleased for the players and staff today. Last Saturday must have been gut-wrenching. Great to get the win today - personally, I couldn't see where a goal was coming from after they scored (which I think Walsh could have prevented). Very important win today, enables us to go to Charlton and be OK with a point if that is what we have to settle for. Hope we can get the new striker up an running soon. Kone beginning to look like he needs a rest in games after 75 minutes.

I'm sure they will 100% want to get something out of the game and will have prepared for it (i.e. you have been told many times that JS's pressers are just soundbites in which he sounds upbeat to conjure up some optimism ...)

Anyway, with regard to this afternoon my biggest concern is that Kone is far from the complete number nine and we do not have a system which allows him to be below par (additionally I'm not sure the second striker, whoever that may be today, will be a sufficient Burrell replacement). Anyway, hopefully, a Dembele, Vale, Smyth, Saito shot goes in and we can cling onto something.

Best Comedy Sketches / Moments

Life of Brian is sheer genius

If I'm being honest, I get a bit tired of fabricated situation comedies like Fawlty Towers etc.

This week I've been watching The Detectorists (Series 1). The fact that it's not over-played makes it so much endearing and amusing. Lead Balloon also, it's more realistic.

Not Going Out - the scripts are really funny

Marti gone...
at 18:17 25 Jan 2026

Good manager. Understood what was needed - didn't get what was needed in terms of players - but still managed to make it work. I often muse about what the current crop would be like under Marti.

I think that would have been very good foresight.

However, to be fair, Mbengue has lasted the duration in every game he has played until now and so there were reasons to believe that he should have been a bit more careful

What pissed me off was that we didn't really get a right back in when it happened

I'm not actually sure that the team was rearranged into a 4-4-1

I would have liked to have seen Daniel Bennie go in there immediately - but we just kind of played on, but without a designated right back

Marti was a great fit. He found a way more than a few times when we looked to be in hot water. Seems to be going the other way under JS's team.

West Brom are in a spot of bother, aren't they ? They need to get an experienced head in there. Is Tony Mowbray still on the manager merry go-round ?

Agree with your disagree.

A lot of the improvement is down to the fact that he is now playing deeper where there is more time and space to pass accurately, with the corollary being that his passing has less impact on our play in the final third.

His all round game has improved a lot, I agree, but our best player ? Nope, doesn't stand out for me

ENOUGH!!

I don't mind him replying to threads - because his replies usually get drowned by the large majority of realistic replies.

What really gets on my tits though is the barrage of antagonistic threads he starts, seemingly only ever with the aim of negatively criticising what he happens not to like and seemingly never praising any of the many good things about the club.

He's fine, we don't need to get on his case. The red cards haven't materialised as everyone foretold and he is consistently putting in solid performances. An automatic starter every game.

Team for Oxford?
at 18:59 17 Jan 2026

I think Alfie Lloyd will be on the bench. It was evident today that we don't have the pace to get in behind and we never really looked like scoring. I know he is gangly but Alfie Lloyd can take a defender on with pace. Today we never looked like scoring and it will have brought it home to the club that what we need up front is pace, pace and more pace.

Playing 11 a side football
at 17:50 15 Jan 2026

I've run a Sunday morning team for 26 years, playing for about the first 10 or 12 but only managing since about 2012 as I found it difficult to come to terms with the fact that my legs had gone (speed-wise, not in terms of stamina). If I have to come on at all these days (due to no shows, injuries etc.) I get incredibly frustrated that I can't keep up but having run the club for 26 years I'm pretty good at denying any responsibility if I am at fault for any goals being conceded. I've also learned that you want players who are going to stick with you 100% through thick and thin. Probably works like that at professional level too.

'The game's gone'

Sweeping, all encompassing generalisation for anything new which doesn't chime with the Corinthian spirit in which watery eyed nostalgists think the game should be played

Usually forgotten as soon as the next 'game has gone' occurrence comes along

He's much more orthodox than many of our attacking players. The one strength he has got is his physical strength. He makes significant progress against U21 defenders due to his strength and he isn't scared to battle 1st team defenders in 50:50's. Plus he can get a shot away. In a year or two he is going to be a useful target man and front runner.

Yeah, he was decent. Particularly for his age (18). We kept him pretty quiet but one of the tricks he pulled out on the halfway line was absurd.

I thought Varane was OK the minutes that he was on. He's quicker than Hayden (and Field) and has a good knack of nipping in and nicking the ball off opposition players.

Regarding Bannon, is it any wonder that he looks shot ? He's had to play every minute this season while all else around him has been falling apart. I admire him.

Very interesting article. Really well written. I think he is going to get a lot of work as a sports psychologist.
