Adam Reach is judged fit enough to play for Wycombe but he appears to have played less football than the Danes lately...

Coventry could be in the play offs at 5pm today.

Credit where credits due. Fat Frank has done terrific. I've been the first to slate him in the past but fair play. I have a soft spot for Cov.

I don't want to rile up the pedants with "must win" talk, so I'll instead just say how Tuesday is an "important opportunity to get a win".

Though Burton have only lost 1 in 10 so won't be easy. But we need to put them away, as Wrexham face Huddersfield away, and have a really difficult next 5.

You feel we need a significiant lead over Wrexham after the next 5, as their games ease up, and we still will have Huddersfield (most likely delayed from the current date), Reading, Bolton and Orient aways, and Charlton and Stockport at home, we've plenty of tough games in there.

Yes but the point remains that if these new signings aren't good enough to be trusted playing in League One - even against teams in the bottom half of the table - are they really going to be good enough to keep us up in the Championship? And if not, what is the point of them?

If his team talks are like his interviews then we are fucked.

We had two ‘lads’ next to us standing on the steps throughout most of the first half who didn’t see a moment of play as they spent the whole time pointing provocatively at various home fans. Why would anyone choose to pay good money just to do that?

Surprised that the stewards made no effort to keep the stairs clear.

Felt for the old boy a few rows down who was clearly unable to stand for long and whose view was completely obscured by uncaring ‘lads’ who refused to sit.

I spotted Havarti and Vesterhavsost in Asda at the weekend. They are two great Danish cheeses ...

I had a very similar bloke behind at the Rovers away game. At least your bloke expanded his vocab to include pedo!

I think that's a pretty solid assessment.

Although I'd add that I don't feel any of the attacking plays are in really, really good form. Udoh has done Ok lately. Kone has had a brief spell out. GMac had done alright without really firing. Fred actually made some recent breaks on Sat but has otherwise been underwhelming. Sads still injured. Early in the season all our attackers seemed to have a run of really good form. We'll need a couple of them to find that form again in the season close and at the moment it's unclear whether that's likely to happen or not.

We also don't really know what Dodds will be like in this situation. Seems to have had a positive impact on defensive shape already, but is he the kind of guy that can get the team fired up for the big games? I expect Wrexham will come at us with a direct, niggly, physical approach in ten days time. We'll need to match them in that department, which requires a bit of fight and determination to go alongside the skill, strategy and shape.
