Coventry away is when the season started to go wrong, not helped by the injury to JMT just before half time. This would be a good opportunity to get our season back on track. Hopefully a sensible starting XI from Tisdale! Will be on a rain in Switzerland so not sure what I'll know of the game.

A dull and somewhat chilly start to the day. Although the thermometer says 6 there's a very brisk SSE wind blowing at 4-5 that makes it feel much colder. There are also flecks of rain in the air, nothing significant as yet - there was only a trace in the rain gauge, but it looks as though there could be showers later. So that's 100% light grey cloud cover with little sign that it's going to break up at any time during the day. Notionally 'sunset' is 16.23 but I think we'll have the floodlights off from the start. I met a couple of Coventry supporters last night, and their club sounds a complete and utter mess. They only go to away games now, and were curious about what fan ownership was like. I tried to be as positive as possible.
Incidentally there's a great article by Jeremy Alexander in the middle pages of today's sports Guardian (last edition before it becomes tabloid!) in which Exeter City gets a more than honourable mention. If you are able to post a link I'd much appreciate it, cos I will not be able to do it until I can get to my home computer.
Update at 13:00 and some interesting looking ales in FECRACE today - especially the Cheddar one.

Nice article about the contrast between lower league and PL . Bit confused though about City selling players to value of 4m "to clear the 4m one-side stadium", as if we were paying for it. I guess another case of lazy journalism.
