    Reading some of the comments of Brum fans online, it would have been a miracle too. The honeymoon may well be over.

    His body can no longer do what his football brain wants it to do

    His all out commitment has caught up with him sadly

    Some of the Brum fans are totally unrealistic imho. And Deeney drags everyone else’s performances up to a higher level, too.

    Yes - probably past his peak power and fitness wise but a good leader I suspect.

    First week in August and a potential postponement?

    Obviously the rugby 7s hasn’t helped the pitch at Coventry.

    I see the favourites for the Championship title are down 0-1 at halt time against Wigan...

    It will be interesting to see how Burnley gets on against those lot up the M1 today, I think Burnley is a better bet for the title, but we shall see.

    They're not doing too well at the moment - 0-1 down and Luton well on top.

    Coventry’s game at home to Rotherham is off. The pitch has been deemed unsafe and unplayable.

    That is very disappointing for the fans !

    And Coventry will hope it’s not a regular issue.

    I think the EFL ought to have helped Coventry City out here. Having the 7's there and then expecting to play professional football just days later was a ridiculous notion.

    Par for the course back in the day - I remember the Vicarage Rd pitch being in far worse condition. For example, the 1970 cup match against Liverpool.

    Footballers today don't know they're born. ;)

    The keeper was lucky to stay on too for an elbow earlier on .

    I have no problem with it, Fez. In fact, I rather like it. So many players need to find some discipline. If it takes the officials to help them understand the minimum requirements, so be it.

    Oh I've done exactly this quickfire... But being on Northolt Rec I was ever so slightly more diplomatic about it and kept distance enough to avoid the impending Glasgo kiss.
