    Kwame to Sutton

    This stock piling of players is a farce but let’s look at it from a players point of view they are paid footballers and probably on a lot more money than a lot of players in divisions one and two. And if they break into the first team squad their contracts would multiply. All these players will...

    Time to forget about sisu...

    But injuries are part and parcel of football and bringing players in always a gamble in the case of Jones and Andreu and Vincenti for that matter their wages have been budgeted for this cup money is extra as I said perhaps unexpected. In our 1967 promotion year we used about 15 players all...

    Time to forget about sisu...

    Of course we will be at the Ricoh, if we aren’t we won’t exist there is nowhere to go and being currently third halfway through the season puts us in a strong position for promotion we need a couple more better loanees in to cement that but we needed that before in previous seasons but it never...

    Time to forget about sisu...

    Yesterday’s win garantees a small but perhaps unexpected cash windfall right in the middle of the transfer window, I’m not suggesting splashing it all on buying players but wages wise it could allow MR to loan in a more established player or two on higher wages until the end of the season. In my...

    Up or down

    I think SISU will be going just a question of when

    NOPM Brigade

    Lets be honest apart from those doing the NOPM bit the quality hasn’t been attractive has it, we’ve picked up recently and today’s victory has been the icing on the recent cake. If we get a trip to Liverpool, Man United, Spurs or Arsenal a lot more will go than go to our home games perhaps our...

    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    Anyone at home, if it’s an away tie one of the big five, Spurs at Wembley a dream.

    We need a third player in

    For Christ’s sake Ponticelli is a raw kid learning on the hoof and in a poor forward line too, there shouldn’t be one word of criticism about him. Hopefully MR will get another striker in to relieve any pressure on him and I think he’ll develop into a very good player.

    Great win + injuries

    Is McDonald injured then ? Yesterday was a good and much needed result hopefully Robins can bring in atleast a couple more to strengthen a promotion push think we all know where we need strengthening just hope MR is able to achieve that

    Who could/should you have supported?

    Dad was from Barnoldswick, Burnley being his local team, when I started getting interested in footie Burnley, Wolves and Spurs where the top teams so I followed the Burnley results. But Jimmy Hill thankfully turned up so any idea of not following the Sky Blues vanished. Dad became a season...

    Match Thread Carlisle United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 30th Dec

    I said on here November Robins manager performance isn’t good enough and I’d give him until the Xmas fixtures, well has there been improvement ? hardly, going through matches having one or two shots on target just isn’t acceptable to me granted he’s been unlucky with the Jones injury but the...

    How much would you spend?

    They attend because they are supporters of their football club my neighbour follows Leamington home and away another mate goes to most Nuneaton matches. It’s a British thing really but you are correct re age I look around the concourse at half time and most are grey or bald, habitual supporters...

    How much would you spend?

    Watching any live events is expensive just paid £25 a ticket for a Pantomime in Leamington go to gigs to see top stars and you’re looking at around 100 quid, decent tribute acts can be £50+ add the add ons programs, food, drink etc it becomes a dear do, then there’s travel. Football is...

    Huge 4 weeks coming up.

    One in, one out that’s what Robins has said must happen and anyone coming in are likely to be loans young hopefuls proberly like the lad from Reading I can live with that we just have to keep ours fingers crossed we can bag an “Alan Armstrong” type for a few months. It illustrates the state our...

    How much would promotion cost?

    Not arguing with anything you have said, just reminding those saying. we need 2/3/4 players a strikers, wide players pace etc Robins has stated its one out, one in. Although I’d love us to be able to bring in 2 or 3 newbies I’m also of the opinion the way MR is currently setting up his team...

    How much would promotion cost?

    The prospect of our owners stumping up anything approaching £250k is fanciful at best, Robins has stated it has to be one out for one in during the window, didn’t we have to cancel Leah’s contract to get the Reading rookie in so getting the experience centre forward type we desperately need...
