Fascinating to observe the one or two here who've done a volte face in recent months on Cook's capabilities. He'll be 35 in April. Richard Dunne did a sterling job for the club at a similar age, as did, in another era, Frank McLintock.
I'd like to know how Steve might be feeling. If he genuinely believes he can carry on for another year after this one, the coaching staff agree, and the contract is sensible, I'd give it him right now, even if he's a squad player. |

Madsen and Kone were both really good today, as were Vale and (bar the marking for the goal) the whole back line. It really did feel like a professional and whole-hearted team performance from start to finish. I've also been critical of the manager, so credit to him too for his role in the tactical set-up.
We now need to start showing this composure and creativity on the road again. Charlton is winnable, so let's go there and win. |

I hope they stitched him up in that case. [Post edited 31 Jan 18:13]

Delighted with that - for me, especially post-Wrexham, the best whole game performance of the season. Cov weren't much cop as it turned out, but we shut them out apart from one lapse, came from behind to score two fine goals, and finished professionally after the ludicrous 7 extra minutes. We deserved that - both the team and, most importantly, the fans.
We'all enjoy that tonight, but after what's been a poor run, can we kick on from here now players are starting to come back? [Post edited 31 Jan 17:26]

100% wrongly. Their full back was wrestling him in the corner for about half a minute for the first half. Nothing given. Then Sakomoto gets him in a head lock and the ref again does nothing. Probably down to the fact that Smyth played for a soft pen, so the man with the whistle thinks he doesn't deserve to have the protection of the laws. Cheating c*nt. [Post edited 31 Jan 17:18]

Kone a bit better today, but 2 goals in 20 games possibly explains why he looks so fed up with everyone. I've been quite fed up with you too, Richard.
All a bit meh from both sides right now. If Cov are the best the Champ has to offer, it mainly shows what a crummy league this is. |

Agree with this. It's ridiculous and embarrassing we still can't play credibly for a whole game. This has been an issue since the start of the season, regardless of personnel, and it makes me tear my hair out that JS clearly operates from such a low bar. Where are his own metrics for improvement? I anticipate we'll get 30-35 minutes from them again today in front of a packed house, during which time we may well score a goal, before they cruise past us. Followed by the manager shrugging and smiling, as he tells us 'we have to learn from this' and 'we move on to what will be another difficult game'.
In a nutshell, low expectations, eclipsed by the dark sun of hope. [Post edited 31 Jan 12:21]

As to your first response - why? If anything, the more power one has, the more self-critical/accountable one should become, surely? In any walk of life. |

This team plays, at best, one good half of two, and one half-decent game every five if we're lucky.
The manager talks in his usual contentless generalities about 'learning', looking for 'solutions' and being 'prepared', but I don't think he or his team learn. Or, there seems something new to learn every week.
Till last time out, the defence, I suppose, has been doing well, and we scored a couple of nice goals v Wrexham. But we rarely, if ever, put anyone to the sword.
The handful of injuries feel almost like a crutch.

It could go either way, of course, unless it doesn't. I don't foresee anything more than a score draw at best, provided they don't score more than one. So not very hopeful, I guess. |

Just for the record, I wasn't talking about 'strategy' - I was talking about player development, which is as, I pointed out, a coaching matter. I don't doubt Nourry has some kind of oversight here with player acquisition, but some fans just want to cling to myths to denigrate him - including the silly idea he 'picks the team' etc. |

That's right - we need more of these types who can't actually play, but are lovely fellows off the pitch. That'll see us soaring up the table. |

Well, if Frey's bit-part performances for us after he'd got his new contract were him 'straining every sinew', I'd hate to watch him when he's coasting! |
