First-aid elephant bearing three pepper mills, goose-stepping bird on left, bird being barbecued on right; relative scale of elephant, birds, ball and pepper mills all over the shop.

Do all these badges have the team name on them? If so is that new or have I just imagined them just being badges in my younger years.
Someone (possibly Arsenal I can't remember) realised they couldn't properly register and protect the copyright of a 100+ year old badge that's used by lots of people. Almost every club including ours has at some point over the last 20 years made a slightly different "new" badge to go on all merchandise. They range from new designs in total to wedging the same crest or logo into a badge with the name round it.
I quite like the Coventry one and love the specials inspired kits they've had recently. I'm less a fan of them beating us every single bloody time.
If Coventry somehow get relegated, we'll have "followed each other around" for at least five seasons, with two promotions and a relegation at the same time as each other. I don't think they will, but that can't have happened much!
Another away game another change in shape. Mehmeti I think is wasted on the left and we just look a bit disjointed...
Fingers crossed but a huge difference between first 25 against Barnsley and this.
Not making a huge impact on the general gameplay but Uche and Taff look like handfuls at times and it's far from the worst we've played in recent months
It’s 4-2-3-1 isn’t it? So we’re presumeably trying to achieve what we normally do with that formation. The problem is the games completely bypassing the middle.

First time all season I’m considering not getting iFollow. We are always absolutely awful against Coventry.
Bit cluttered!
When I looked at the badge, I thought, “why the hell have they got a first aid elephant on there?”.
But no, apparently it’s supposed to represent St. George.

I quite like the idea of having a chant of:
“you’re going home on a fucking elephant”, though.
Proper badge that

An elephant and a castle! Reminds me of the ‘classic’ Jim Davidson vehicle on ITV in the 80s. As such -1,000/10.

And the even more obscure clean version “you’re going home on a first aid elephant”.
In a normal season today would see a huge mobilisation of Chairboys - from Bali, Scotland, Nantwich, Catford and beyond.
Such a shame not to see the wagons rolling to bring home the points

Poor form or great banter?
Neither?
Three changes, Stewart, Wheeler, Muskwe in.
Horgan, Thompson, McCleary on the bench.
Pack the midfield a bit, or maybe realisation McCleary and Horgan just haven't created much recently.

Very much a game with two teams at the bottom.
Coventry have been watching Barnsley,
Terrible match so far.

Typical Coventry game so far, getting mullered down the wings and lucky to be 0-0 so far.
I know its early, and we're bottom of the league, but there's no plan. You can see Cov using the wings and breaking over the top... what are we doing?
Talking of watching - is anybody?
What in god’s name are we trying to achieve with this formation? Masses of bodies in midfield with virtually no impact.
Shot by Steward...ooh blocked...oh it's Muskwe.
Then instantly in the background STEWART from the Birmingham lot.
In a dull game, that made me laugh

I've seen more composed football at Hazelmere rec on a Saturday morning with the U11s!
We rarely ave players in acres of space
