OverThere Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Mackems played well. I would say they have a sniff of getting in the play offs although that would depend on replacing Stewart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 They played well, again. Style of play is pleasing on the eye but I'm not sure why they feel the need to go way overboard with the way they go on about it though. They'd struggle in the PL with that defence / centre mid.

Disco Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 TBF they’re about as anti Sunlun as you can imagine. Loads of flighty quick lads who have a trick but are wildly inconsistent but have quality in bits. Actually got round to should what they should have done 4-5 years ago instead of paying attention to their fans and their love of Bally disciples. Have a bit of pace and trickery in your team at that level and you’ll be all right. Mowbray is absolutely fine for them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If falls apart tho Recently read "Expected Goals - The story of how data conquered football and changed the game forever" and Mowbray comes out of it quite well about his time at Coventry, about how in time he became open minded about it so was possibly a quite early user.

Chicken Dancer Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) To be fair they do play some attractive football which is easy on the eye, and they’re doing far better than they probably ever expected. Fair play to them for their transfer policy too - new owners seems to have completely overhauled an aging squad of plodders and replaced them with young, hungry players (granted their stand-out is a loanee). However, the problem with that lot is, in my life (and likely beyond) a good run = we’re the best team about. A shit run = sack the manager. They’re always about 5 games away from a crisis or from definitely going up/getting in Europe/staying up. They have an outside chance of promotion this year, but they’d be better off building for a year or two before going up, as ridiculous as that sounds. Good luck to Stewart as well. Never nice to see an injury like that and it could well have cost him a decent move. Still think one of the relegated teams or a Norwich (or whoever doesn’t go up) would take a punt on him in the summer, but there’s no doubt his value just significantly dropped. Sounds sly but sort of served them wrongns right for wishing an ACL injury on Bruno. Edit: fairly certain young Rigg will sign for us in the summer. Can’t find my post from last year, but I’m fairly familiar with the family. Seems set to go to NUFC but nothing is decided yet. If he’s going to play often it may do the kid well to stay put, imo.
