Best Of

Maybe a bit old fashoned but I love defenders who play like there's nobody in goal

I really liked him when he played for us.

He was instrumental in getting Bayo sent off in the game at the Kassam back in 2019, wasn't he?

last night showed where we are at, think we look a very good team when teams come at us. We are in a transition learning phase of the season where teams are happy to take a point from us and we need to figure that out, need someone to step up as the man to pass through the lines to our pocket players, then teams will get disorganized. I dont see leahy or bakinson as that man i think butch could be the man to step up thought he was v good last night.

Coventry at home in 2017 was the coldest ever. And losing to a late mystifying penalty took the temp down an extra few degrees. At least our performance was warming last night

Very good performance last night. I thought Leahy was excellent and really drove the team forwards and he finally put in a very good delivery for the second goal from a free kick. His pressing was very good and he just seemed to really want it last night.

Bradley was superb and so pleased we've signed him and I think Skura can really learn a lot from him. If Joe Low is off then I think Declan can step up. He'll make some mistakes but anyone learning their trade will.

The whole team looked so much more comfortable with a back four. Gideon did ok at right back from a defensive viewpoint but he's not so comfortable heading the ball, which could prove a problem in the lonig run. However, what he does give us is an amazing turn of pace and a real double threat down the right hand side when going forwards.

I really like Butcher and he was very good last night, if Morley doesn't return, I think we have enough in midfield if we play like last night.

Looking forward to the draw on Sunday, I'd be happy with Goodison, we'd have to hire a pub out just for the gasroom meet up!

I’ll echo what I wrote to the lad on Facebook, he complimented the chanting and it came across on the telly too. He helped to create a great atmosphere and he didn’t aimlessly drum over chants.

Yes me too. I remember being very disappointed when we let Mousinho go, he was a decent player, a bit like Butcher, in being a big unit who could get about the midfield.

We ended up playing him at right back I think which didn’t really suit him.

Yes he is a local boy, he’s from Amersham and went to Dr Challoner’s.

Taylor and Low are clearly very capable footballers when they receive the ball on the deck. But there is something beautiful about a centre half clearing the ball into the next county when you are under pressure. Sunny was a defensive rock last night and Declan will receive an education in the pure art of defending playing alongside him.

Good first interview with @bluntphil on WTV
