‘Hold me back!!’
I think Eastwood has been teriffic for us. But he has looked a bit slower off his line, and on his feet, in the last 6-9 months. I would have expected him to get to the free kick. It was decent but was a very long way out and I don't think (?) he was unsighted...
Those lads who made pathetic attempts to get at the Coventry fans in the north stand need to get a grip. They behave like this all the time, it's always the same lads and if there was a real fight I bet they would wet themselves!
There were kids getting scared there yesterday and they are our future so we don't want them being scared off attending.
If those lads really want a fight then they can go off and find one.
Well said i hope they realise how silly they lookedThose lads who made pathetic attempts to get at the Coventry fans in the north stand need to get a grip. They behave like this all the time, it's always the same lads and if there was a real fight I bet they would wet themselves!

I wonder how much of Eastwood’s off field situation is effecting his performance?
This is why moving the “family stand” to the north wasnt the brightest move from the club.To be fair its not the first time things like that have happened in the north stand, if I had kids who were likely to be scared I’d sit them in the East or South stands. That’s not to defend or excuse it, but parents should know not to sit nervous children right next to the away fans where trouble could arise.
He is supposed to be very quick over short distances and very powerful.There’s no doubt we’ve got a pretty decent squad of players.
We’re just lacking one or two with genuine pace to keep the opposition on their toes. Against Coventry Fosu & Baptiste made a difference when they came on, Fosu with his trickery and Baptiste for his power and presence, plus the Sky Blues were noticeably tiring. But on the whole our breaks and attacking play were not quick enough enabling the opposition to regroup and get players behind the ball.
Technically Henry and Forde are good players, but very rarely go past players, Cadden clearly gives Henry that option. Whilst on the other side of the pitch Ruffels doesn’t offer the same overlapping. To my mind a player such as Whyte or Browne would make all the difference to this team.
Anyone know if Agyei is particularly quick?

The amount of crosses we are getting into the box and the amount of corners we are racking up would suggest that Forde and Henry don't need to go past players with speed to deliver a good ball into the box...Whyte had speed but his end product was poor last year, we now have Forde, Henry, Cadden, Brannagan who can all deliver a fantastic ball...Fosu and Baptiste are the players to drive past the opo...5 of those 6 players are also ours...There’s no doubt we’ve got a pretty decent squad of players.

It depends what you mean by 'likely lads,' singers? I was in the North Stand and the singing form the ES was very poor especially in the first half, very sterile atmosphere before our first goalWe don’t seem to have much of a home end any more! I guess a lot of the likely lads go in the North stand

They'd have to have brains to be able to do thatWell said i hope they realise how silly they looked
Wrong IMO, the family area is at the other end of the NS, a child sitting there would have been unaware of any problems at yesterdays gameThis is why moving the “family stand” to the north wasnt the brightest move from the club.
