Half time change - Phillips on for Drinkwater

ClaretTony

It’s 1-0 at half time but I think it’s fair to say it does not reflect the game. We are by far the better team but have missed chances.

And

14 mins: Burnley 0 Coventry 1

ClaretTony

Sorry, it’s Coventry. I’d just been sorting something out for someone from Sheff Wed and it was in my head. I’ve changed it now.

But back to the thread - and that night ten years ago remains as one of the special nights on the Turf for me. I’d given up any hope of us ever getting back up there and to start by by beating United was amazing.

ClaretTony

Back in "The Day" it was all about beating Leeds and man utd for me. :D Blackburn were always below us that's why the fixture never interested me...I was tempted to see Coventry gain promotion in 67/8 out of mischief. Leeds were second division in my early days. My first away game was at Ewood and ...

I've actually got a good record watching us at Ewood - been to 14 league games there and seen us win 8, draw 2 and lose 4

The kick off time on the under 23 fixture list gives a 1pm kick off. Can you confirm the Kick off time please.

I've just checked, gives 2 p.m.

I was looking to see if I could find my match report but alas no - I do recall including a line at the bottom referring to a mate of mine asking me as we left the Turf: "Does it get any better than this," and my reply was: "Yes". - He'd never seen us beat Blackburn. He has now. But that was an amazi...

You'd hope we'd have a good chance to get something, especially with the way we are currently playing. We've played twice and lost one of them and I think Wolves have some very, very good players. They absolutely murdered us there last season and they have a stronger squad now. This will be a very ...

They haven't used a loophole, they have a different deal to the one we have.

Corky wrote:I thought the final few minutes when Pope came up for the corners was highly entertaining and then Lennon came bursting through at the death but passed instead of taking a shot. MOTD was ridiculously one sided.

I didn’t think the MOTD coverage was a fair reflection of the game.

ClaretAL wrote:Thanks CT, good report. MOTD did come up with 1 stat that I thought was good in that of all the premier league teams we have faced under Dyche, the only team we have not take points from is Arsenal, indeed this would make them our bogie team.

Well that stat was on my match preview on Friday

Hi Tony, I believe Woodley suggested that Charlie Taylor could have been used as sub for a very tired Dwight McNeil. I had a similar thought at about 70+ mins yesterday. McNeill was "dead on his feet," Aaron Lennon has already subbed for JBG and I was thinking who do we have who can come on from Dw...

I wonder why we struggle against Arsenal, yet we seem to be able to play better against Spurs who have been the better team in recent times. We beat Spurs last season but they outplayed us on their previous two trips to Spurs. A lot of things have gone against us against Arsenal in recent years. Pr...

Not possible unfortunately - we'd be in breach of the contract with them.

I’d imagine CT be back next week his link play later in season with McNeil was excellent . With Drinkwater shortly to be phased in and a very sharp looking Lennon we could be very lively indeed . I think Jay needs a start as well though maybe not till Liverpool Back next week? I've never been away....

ClaretTony

Just a thought why not play Charlie in front of Peters as Dwight tires.We has pace strong in the tackle and possesses a great crossing ability. So you incredibly award Lennon 4 out of 10 in your player ratings and suggest Taylor should play there and then start a thread on it. Was once not enough? ...

Tony. I respect that it’s an excellent feature. But surely thats purely down to the difference of opinions. I’ve given Dean what I see as a fair score. And in fact scored him way higher than you scored graham Scott last week who had a bloody good game in very tough circumstances. Please apologise. ...

Big thanks from me because this thread worked. We had intended parking at Cockfosters (we usually use park in the residential area but the restrictions now include Saturdays). We followed the advice and went to Oakwood, parked easily and got there and back out very easily.

Some of his decisions, in part down to his positioning were totally baffling. You can tell the sheff utd game is now over ten years ago.

Good question. I asked him in post 30 - over 3 hours ago - how he could justify that mark, but he has chosen not to respond. Tarkowski put in a very solid performance today and was unfortunate to be on the losing side. Not just Tarky but Mee as well. Both had really good games today against some qu...

I’ll probably get criticised this week for over rating the referee but some of our refs would be well advised to watch the likes of Dean in action.
