    Derbyshire over Costelleo for me.

    Rest are bench warmers. Banks ahead of them all too.

    Ironically if it had been the keeper a fouls may have been given. Who cares.

    Totally agree. Costelloe showed his strengths against Gillingham where I thought he was very good. Yesterday he was less effective but there were still a couple of occasions he made a great run and Clayton almost picked him out. Banks for Costelloe isn’t a straight swap, needs a formation change as well.

    Yes agreed, I didn’t have full coverage but it confirms to me , what I did see, he’s a far better asset when we are away from VP. Let’s see what Tuesday brings?

    Couldn't agree more Andy. Cook? Absolute shite. What has he ever done for us this season?! Oh. Apart from ...Andy Cook! AndyCook! He gets the ball! Scores a goal! Andy Cook! Andy Cook!

    My same thought Dave. You can watch their centre back flapping and flying around the movement of other City players and allowing Cookie the drive in - but it was down to Andy's instinct in reading that. Cook really is the total lower league striker. And he's ours!!

    I would open that end up so the away team don’t get an advantage of making us shoot that way in the 2nd half :)

    Did we break the league two attendance record on Saturday? It's annoying that the BBC no longer publishes crowd numbers on it's result page. This was probably announced. If it was, I missed it.

    Coventry drew 28,000 against Accrington in lg2 in 2018. They only averaged around 9k that season - I think that game was because they had returned back to the Ricoh / forced their owners SISU out, I can't remember exactly.

    I don't think anyone else has broken 20k at this level

    What do they do in training? Does Smallwood even practise the toss? He’s shit!

    I think the club have to apply for a safety cert on each matchday.

    I believe safety certificates are indefinite until circumstances change.

    Absolutely , each change in circumstances, arrangements or fixtures/ fittings needs a new risk assessment… That’s the law . Don’t ask me to cite which one, I’ve forgotten!
