Red Skin

Gotta say the Coventry support yesterday was fantastic. Loud all day even when going behind. That incessant drum never let up to give us a chance to getting going. Just shows what you can do even in a souless bowl (though the lack of gaps between stand probably keeps the noise in).

Yes, it should be part of the position specific training for all fullbacks, and maybe even wide players. In a game situation it's just as likely (maybe more so) that the wide man is closest to the ball that's put out for a throw in. As soon as it goes out let the wingback bomb on and the wide man throw it down the line for him (at least when the throw in conceded by the opposition in their half). As you someone said, all this waiting for a specialist take a throw just let's the opposition get set.

The most annoying thing about the Kalas long throw is that you want Kalas on the end of it!! Surely, there's another player that could chuck it in. What about Vyner yesterday?

Why not you shoot one at HT? That'll learn em.

https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/unite/lyles-pink-october-2021 Didn't know this. Don't usually watch MOTDx but he was on it just now. The pink hair is a fundraiser for cancer research. He comes across well. Fair play to the lad. Apologies if already posted.

Good luck to the lad. Hope we get to see him in the first team. Love to see a player from the academy come through.

I don't think playing Weiman, Martin and Wells in a supposed 3-5-2 can work, especially with Bakinson in there. (Though I like him). Leaves the defence too vulnerable.

Great to hear. Glad he has such a good day. Can you bring him every week??

No. I do struggle with colours but that particular shade of green I could differentiate from red. Other shades are harder for me. Take the OPs point, though. Absolutely no need.

Really great to hear this. Very lucky to have someone like Tinman who cares so much about the club and young players in this role. Future DoF in the making.

Doesn't even rhyme! ? Against Modern Poetry! ?

I've always liked Callum in spite of his performances!! Really think he could be a player but he does need to show it as he's not a kid any more. If you look back at some of the YouTube videos of his performances for Oxford you'll see what his natural game actually is - a very direct skilful winger. I truly believe the lad has been completely bamboozled by being overcoached by successive managers (we all know the chief culprit) and his willingness to comply and do what's been asked ultimately hasn't helped his game progress. NP is different. He admits himself that he isn't a tactical mastermind, but what is doing is building an environment where players feel trusted to play their own game and take responsibility for their own performances rather than just do as they are told. (I know what kind of environment I would perform best in). If he can stay fit I wouldn't be surprised to see a Bobby Reid type of transformation that will win over the doubters.

Good to hear. Any academy player that makes the grade as a professional reflects well on the club and improves our chances of recruiting new talent. Well done Jo Jo.

What's the difference? Can you elaborate? Does safe standing differ from rail seating in that you cannot convert to seats? It only can allow standing? ? I'd love to be standing again, but given I sit with a bunch of mates the whole relocating en mass would be a pain.

If he does confirm that, then hopefully people on here will be a bit more understanding.

Funnily enough I have as thinking of posting about the 'singing section'. I think they should do away with it. Much better when these fans were spread out amongst all the stands. Far more likely get others to join in. As for the OP's question there have been innumerable interviews with players and managers that have said what a positive impact the crowd can have.

Hi Jerry, I bought tickets online for Cardiff away for my son who has a disability and for myself. We are both ST holders in the South Stand and have been for many years (Atyeo before that). However, despite assigning the tickets to me and my son when buying, I did not receive a carers ticket and had to pay full price. I am pretty sure I was able to buy my ST online for this season and the carers price was adjusted automatically. It my son's birthday so as the queue on the phone was already 28 I didn't want to risk waiting and not get tickets, so I had to buy the ones at full price. Should I have been able to buy the carers ticket online? Or don't Cardiff offer a carers ticket? Many thanks Damian

Good luck to the guy. I thought he was a fantastic talent but whatever reason - style of football in the championship, managerial tactics - never really got a chance to establish himself. To be filed away with Vilmos Seebok for me. Really disappointed we never got the best out of him. Adam strikes me as a man of integrity. It's obvious his family has never settled here and that's been especially tough during covid. I don't bear him any animosity in asking to leave. He's doing so when his stock is high after the euros and we may still get a decent fee. All the best Adam.

Is going to Andy Rolls the definition of 'running towards adversity'? Love this thread btw. ?

Is that what you meant to type? Or do I just not understand a ******* word anyone under 25 says anymore? ?

Someone took the flame grilled a bit too far.

I do see the needs to build, but surprised how many are so ready to see him leave. How many threads on here lately bemoaning selling our best players? Sure he lacks composure when in on goal, but he's quick, strong, makes good runs, has good awareness of players around him, can play off both feet. I'd keep him. Personally, I think he lacks a bit of confidence. If he had a bit more arrogance about him he'd soon start smashing them in.

I'll be gutted if he leaves. He offered about the only bit of excitement in games this year.

Good that.

Great professional and real warrior. All the best to you and your family, Sol. ?
