    Match Thread Coventry City - Preston North End FC Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Feb

    Anyone rating Eccles as a 5 in the ratings thread or saying he had a bad game today, should have a look at themselves as to why. We were very good first half, and he played his part. Has had a dip in form, but today he was good.

    Our squad

    I am struggling that people don't see this. End of last season key issue was conceding goals through poor game management/lacking bite, considering we had two prolific strikers. I think Kitching was brought in to be the new leader at the back post-Fadz, but hasn't worked. We then lose Kelly...

    Bristol Player Ratings

    Just back (ok, logging on). Intrigued why player ratings don't reflect how the opposition played. I thought - - Torp playing defensive game not natural for him, but our bench brought us into the game 2nd half. - Liam Manning is a good coach. Nullified us 1st half, BCFC passed through us...

    Volunteers required for semi Final

    I'd be up for joining the specialist unit dealing with those found wearing an old Oxford/Exeter/Luton half n half scarf. Think we need to up the game from containment for this bunch of bad boys. How about the old Lady Godiva punishment?

    Sheffield Wednesday 20th Jan

    My favourite away trip Wednesday. Decent fans, great ground if in need of a little loving, and some good pubs for a drink. Have a mate who is a season ticket holder. Always found a different experience meeting Blades fans home or away, bewildering. Remember the game when two Weds fans were...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield Wednesday Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    Think Saka, Cal and Wright, with MVE and Bidwell overlapping, will cause any Championship side problems - so good to watch. So yes if Simms clicks fantastic, but... Also need i) a dynamic midfielder alongside Sheaf/Eccles for balance ii) injury to Wright and to some extent Tats, replacements...

    Ratings v watford

    Odd game. Don't think people are giving Watford enough credit. Great press, then rapid counters from our errors created overloads behind our WB's (as did Swansea) and centre midfield, which Eccles & Thomas struggled to contain. Unsurprisingly given inexperience. It also highlighted where we...

    Transfer targets

    Also releases Lati to DM (current international), 4 in total. Assuming Ayari is a 10, will mean greater connection front and back needed from WB's (looks hopeful), and AM (Ayari plus O'Hare) than last year. Then two up front. Palmer may struggle, still hoping for Bastien loan.

    Match Thread Swansea City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    Harsh. Really enjoyed yesterday. Chatted to Swans fans going in and coming out of the ground, decent bunch who know their football and aware of what we have been through. Great drink down the Marina, parked 15 mins from ground for free near a cracking chippy. Tidy ground, stewards friendly and...

    Match Thread Swansea City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    Come on, Marina/Sea front early for a drink, easy 20min journey to the ground, to watch our first victory since the 50's. What's not to like? I'll probably be in the brewery near the Marina. I've put on a little weight, have one eye but a lot friendlier than I look. To blend in, I'll be...

    Good as our weakest link

    We know who are the stars. I would argue the progression of Burroughs, Doyle, Eccles, and Wilson, the ever-increasing competence of Norton-Cuffey, Wilson-Esbrand, and old hands such as Kelly showing their worth as part of a squad, are as important to our success, as the stars. It is why I sing...

    RIP OldSkyBlue58

    Sad news. Would be good to get something shared with the family. Thank you CJ. Few of us knew him, but were always grateful and appreciative for the time he spent unpacking accounts for the illiterate masses...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Rotherham United vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Feb

    Rarely post and think we will fall short, BUT there is hope.... Jan window has changed our defence, with the signing of McNally alongside a fit Fadz means it is now solid, compared to say the Wrexham game. Two new wingbacks mean we can change a game from the bench. Add in our cover/additions in...
