    Carsley talking a lot of sense.

    On talking about the academy kids who have made the step up. "The new set-up next season will be like the old Pontins reserve league and the opportunity for the lads to make their mistakes and develop, rather than using the first team as their development squad,” he explained. “They...

    Transfer embargo

    Few questions. Maybe should be asked at the fans forum. 1. Are we still under one? 2. If so, when are we likely to get out of it? 3. If we are still under the embargo at what point in time do we receive further penalties for not submitting our accounts? There must be a point in time whereby...

    Okay, suppose Sisu's lot do cough up a bit in terms of funding for players

    Are you going to .... a) Pat them on the back and say well done? or b) Be a grumpy bastard like me and say 'why couldn't you have coughed up a bit of cash last year when we really really needed it, especially bearing in mind that though we had no money last year, we will now this season we...

    Don't know if this has been mooted at all

    But has everyone considered that these kids who were not ready for the Championship (at least for many, many games back to back and constant inclusion) may also not be ready for League One? Seems to me that there is going to be even more onus on them next season than there has been this...

    Anyone watching Sheff Utdv Stevenage?

    If Stevenage play against us the way they are playing this evening and there are other teams in League One who play in this manner this then it's going to be one long, painful season for us I fear.

    Sky Blues Blog

    One fan's view Villa Park, 2001. As the Sky Blues found themselves suffering relegation for the first time since 1958, a lone figure stood defiant. Visibly anguished, his message was a simple but powerful one: "We'll be back". This iconic image became a symbol of hope for the Sky Blue Army...

    Vital Football analysis on City's season

    Despite ending their season at the Ricoh Arena with disappointing defeats against Millwall and Doncaster Rovers to confirm relegation to League One, Coventry City ended the 2011/12 campaign with just one point less from their home games than in the previous season. 2010/11 saw the Sky Blues win...

    This Bristol thing from 1977 had me looking at the league tables way back then

    And found it amazing to see how little had changed in terms of the teams down there in the lower leagues and League One in particular. Third Division 1976/1977 Mansfield Town Brighton & Hove Albion Crystal Palace Rotherham United Wrexham Preston North End Bury Sheffield Wednesday Lincoln...

    A futile attempt I guess to stop all the Thorn stuff

    If it's true and he has been asked to stay on as manager then I am not sure there is too much point continuing the Thorn debate is there? I'm sure everyone has had their say. Would be very easy for me to continue to criticise Thorn, but I pretty much stopped a while ago because it seemed to...

    Chance next week to blood a few kids?

    Not convinced AT will do that, but I can't see we have anything to lose in doing so. At least give 2 or 3 a bit of a run out. Looks certain that Willis will play in place of Keogh. Would be nice to see some fresh blood at some point in the game.

    Did any of us expect that out of Peterborough, Millwall and Donny at home

    .... we would only get 1 single point? :o That is a shocking return. Don't think any of us predicted that.

    Thanks David Smith

    If I wasn't feeling glum enough coming out of the ground before he came out and said League One will be much tougher than the Championship and we would need to invest very heavily to survive. League Two looms if that is the case.

    Just had to share this from GMK

    The thread is about whether the players today will be doing a lap of honour after the game and whether or not the fans should stay to watch it. As a answer to the question should the players be doing a lap of honor, Edgy has replied; 'The players should sit in the stands & clap whilst the...

    The only Midland club in League One?

    Just looked at the League One table and with Notts County in the play-off positions and Walsall just hovering outside the bottom 3, there is the potential that we could be the only Midland club in League One if/when we go down. Has that ever happened before that the City have played in any...
