Got monumentally drenched in the way back from the abandoned game at Fratton Park tonight, and I only live a few minutes walk from the ground.

Water on some pavements was ankle deep!

Took this at half time just before the decision to abandon it was made:

That's not quite as bad as it looks actually, the players step down into that bit and then step up to the pitch.

He is, we shipped him out to Millwall for a month at the start of the season and I'd not heard anything else about him since. How does this even work, surely he can't transfer his registration as a player outside the window?

The article doesn't mention him being player manager, so I guess it's not being transferred, just binned off or whatever happens when a player stops playing.

Apparently we signed him as player-manager, then realised that he couldn't be registered to play for us this season having already played for millwall and QPR. Apparently he's going to be player-manager next season though (just kidding, he will be sacked before march)

Player-managers are so 20th century. They usually don't work nowadays.

What the gently caress is up with QPR players leaving to manage other clubs whilst still registered as players? And when the gently caress is Joey Barton taking over at Tranmere?

Tbf it's only been two. Nelsen clearly knew which way the wind was blowing last year (as did anyone with a pulse) and Shaun has zero future at the club this season so why not take the chance when it's there?

I think I can sum up our 3-3 draw against Bradford with:

Attacking: :drat:

Defending: :negative:

Seriously, Jordan Clarke may well have had one of the worst defensive outings in Coventry's long, sad history. Directly at fault for all three goals, in particular that utterly shambolic attempted clearance for the first.

Haha I was watching the first half of that too, bloody hell. That first Bradford goal was just awful, keeper comes when he really shouldn't, then Clarke should clear it and completely miscues.

It's going to be a hairy end to the season if we keep going with possibly the division's best strike partnership, and one of the worst defences.

...Lol, Clarke and Wilson will both be sold for pittance to a poo poo Championship team! :)

Lost our manager to loving Wigan on Saturday, and promptly got booted out of the FA cup.

3 games in as many weeks that we've dropped points to refball. But at least the football is good. We should avoid the drop if we keep playing like this.

Boxing Day football owns, spend an hour and a half driving to Colchester's lovely plastic ground in a field, watch your team get smashed up 4-0, freeze your tits off, miss five minutes of the second half to get a cup of tea because the catering sucks so much, drive an hour and a half back.
