    Yeah, like having a brain and a bit of skill, perhaps? ;)

    Just back v Sky Blues on NowTV

    He is, but our defence isn’t helping him when they leave large gaps as they did on Sunday, to allow players like Grant the space to fire off a shot and take the lead against us. It would also help if one or more of our forwards could wade in with a couple of goals every now and then. You don’t...

    Well of course JB wouldn’t have said that to Edwards in his interview, but there might have been a niggling doubt in the back of his mind that taking such a big risk on appointing a manager with no previous experience could get us into trouble later on in the season. It would only be natural for...

    How many points will we finish on?

    Yep, finishing just one point (or better goal difference) above the team in 22nd place would do it. :)

    JE’s Just Back

    Maybe JB factored in that relegation might be a possibility if he signed a new, untried first time manager, but in his mind we had to progress as a team and as a club, so he made the decision and knew that the buck would stop with him if it all went tits up? He’s his own man and may want to do...

    Unfortunately we’re not in the scenario where we can rub an imaginary lamp and a genie can guarantee that Rowett will keep us up. Sorry, not being rude or trying to dodge your question, but it’s an impossible question to answer because there’s so many variables to consider which have already...

    Agreed. Yesterday’s result was the lowest I’ve felt all season, because with a bit more effort from the players, we could have won against Coventry and given everyone a massive lift for Wednesdays game against Ipswich.

    I don’t disagree with your thoughts re the club having to make a decision eventually about Edwards, or about how much money relegation will cost us if we go down. I’ve been banging the warning drum about the latter for the past year or so, in that we’re only a season away from being relegated...

    Well, he’s not going to resign, why would he? If you mean might JB sack Edwards then yes, that’s a possibility, but who comes in as a replacement? Can’t see us poaching any half decent manager that’s already working. The compensation could be huge if we did that, and I don’t think we’d have the...

    Just back v Sky Blues on NowTV

    I would like to think Edwards is a good enough coach to spot when his team’s high press was dropping off, and inform the players of that, either during the 1st half or at least during HT (so something can be done about it.) If he is doing that then either the players aren’t listening to him or...

    Just back v Sky Blues on NowTV

    It comes down to the same thing time after time in that we go in 1 up, have played the high press well, have reduced the oppo’s chances in the 1st half (just as we did today), yet can’t start the 2nd half with the same game plan. Do the players just switch off during the half time team talk...

    Coventry V The mighty Lions------ Sunday 12pm

    Could do with Blackburn beating Brum, Leicester to beat Sheff. Wed, Hull to beat Rotherham (all 3 on Tuesday) with a draw between Stoke and QPR and Sunderland to beat Huddersfield (both on Wednesday.) Shouldn’t be hoping for this, but that’s where we are at the moment.

    Need a good reaction on Wednesday (somehow) otherwise it could be another St. Valentines Day massacre (but this time for us.)

    Coventry V The mighty Lions------ Sunday 12pm

    Granted, but if JB sacks Edwards now, who do we get in? Warnock? Possibly, but would he be able to iron out the stupid little mistakes the players are making? Could he have stopped Tango from wrapping his foot round Wright instead of the ball? Could he have got Sarkic to push the ball out...

    Coventry V The mighty Lions------ Sunday 12pm

    Well, regarding Rowett we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. 🤣 We just have to hope that there are 3 worse teams than us and we get some money to improve the squad in the summer somehow.

    Coventry V The mighty Lions------ Sunday 12pm

    Rowett did that when he first came to us, then it all changed. How many times on here could we all see that a change in personnel or formation was needed, and when Rowett didn’t do anything, the opposition ended up equalising or taking the lead? Edwards looks to be doing the same.
