2020/21 General Match Thread

[Kenneth E End]

I was talking about Stevenage as they on 3CR too.

Sorry wasn't very clear.

Think Mike Newell was probably the worse of the Luton managers!

Yeah but Newell was pissed up 80% of the time so that doesn’t count.

 

[PoshinPretoria]

Overall though, we’re not a million miles away from becoming a team that can challenge up the top. Just need a couple of wins and we’ll be on our way. Why Peterborough let Anthony Grant go I don’t know. The bloke is class!!

We thought he was ok for the first few months of the season...lets just say his fitness did not last the entire season and be kind.

Surely not a case of Peterborough not recognising a player’s potential?

 

[Caer]

Burton away on Saturday, we've not played well for a while now but continue to grind out results so it'll probably be another draw.

For anyone who fancies a bet our games appear to go the same way every time; concede early, equalise not long after and probably give away a penalty at some point.

 

[LS Bantam]

Doncaster facing slow starting Bradford this weekend. Nothing to suggest they couldn't win this weekend after the first 84 minutes last week...

I hope you’ve not booked travel, we’re playing Charlton.

Doubt it, we are away to Walsall this weekend, it’s the St.Leger race meet in Donny so we play away on that day.

One loss at a time please.

Shut up

 

[joethegill]

Rochdale away for us this weekend. Don't normally have too much success up there and we're in shite form, so would take a draw.

Not got a home league point this season (albeit against scintillating Barnsley, clinical Posh and much-improved Warsaw). Fancy us to break the duck on Saturday, particularly if Tom Eaves gets sent off again...

We have picked up of late - so should be a good game. I’d be happy with a point.
Last season was one win each. Both Away.

 

[Jamo]

We've not won at Coventry since 1923.

I'll just leave it at that.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Warsaw equals loss for us, our six point giveaway last season kept them up maybe they will see them promoted this year

 

[gary]

Great,Charles breakspear is the ref for our game against scunthorpe.The arrogant idiot who was the ref for our home match against fleetwood in march.that he should've postponed as the the pitch was more a kin to playing water polo.It was farcical !!

Found this graph somewhat interesting:

Looks like our opponents tomorrow Bristol Rovers have been somewhat unfortunate thus far as they could have expected to score quite a few more goals than they have with the shots they have had and conceded less with those faced. We seem to be somewhat average which is pretty fair reflection of our league position.

Still a little bit early to draw anything from statistics like that but hey do tend to prove pretty accurate over the long term.

Our problem in defending is that we let nearly all shots on goal go in because our marking is woeful. Teams don't get many shots, but when they do - they score. Looks like we've improved though with the GK from Brentford - scored a freak OG vs Shrewsbury and clean sheet Vs Plymouth. Although they're also relegation teams so hard to judge.

Up front we're toothless - lots of shots - couple of wonder saves (keepers always do it against us) but generally many off target.

I think we actually have a decent record against you lot, but I'm expecting a 2-0 win for Luton.

After our first clean sheet of the season, I fully expect DC to change the defence yet again and put Lockyer back in (despite him being the problem 50% of the time)

 

[Craig]

We've not won at Coventry since 1923.

I'll just leave it at that.

Got a good feeling about tomorrow. Think we're gonna put an end to this record and do it in style.

Yes you do seem to be one of those teams for us.
The last time we met at Kenilworth Road we were absolutely dreadful, to my mind the worst performance we have put in since returning back to the league, literally couldn't string 2 passes together.

 

[Jamo]

I really hope you're right. I've as good a feeling as I've ever had going there. Be nice to get the hoodoo out the way after 95 years, then we've only got Carrow Road and Loftus Road to deal with then!

 

[WilsdenBantam]

We're losing to Charlton tomorrow. 4-0.

Un characteristically positive from you, I have them getting 6 or 7 minimum.

 

[codaplenty]

Accy at home tomorrow, they did fantastic last season and have started this season well. The last time we played them a certain Jon Parkin got a hat trick which was all the more remarkable with the amount of pies he must have eat.
We are on a descent run at the moment, reasonable clean bill on the injuries so providing we can keep Kee off the score sheet I fancy us to win 2-0

 

[Meadow]

Scunny at home. Neither team has had a great start to the season but if some of the extremely iffy refereeing decisions had gone our way, we'd be higher. Talking of which, we have have that idiot who decided that our swimming pool of a pitch was playable back in April against Fleetwood.

If the Pig plays, he'll probably nick a goal. Everyone else is firing blanks. Scunny have conceded 16 to our 8 though.

Who knows? Ask me again at 16:50 tomorrow.

Can’t quote remember tha game at all of I’m honest

I went to the home game as I was back for Christmas time - I remember a fairly comfortable 2-0 home win

Last game I remember at your place was THAT Rickie Lambert volley

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Yep that was a great goal, one of the better ones I have seen live I think:

I remember that night when he scored that hat trick - it put us bottom of league 2 at the time although we found form and survived back when Leam Richardson was in charge. Seems a long time ago now!
We've drawn our last 3 games 1-1. I'll predict more of the same with us scoring a late equaliser.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Walsall for us we always lose to them both Home and away so I’m glad I’m going to the Leger

 

[ccfctommy]

We've not won at Coventry since 1923.

I'll just leave it at that.

Would not be a tiny bit suprised if you beat us today.
