    Match Thread Coventry City v Oxford United - FA CUP 3RD ROUND - 6th January 12:30

    Morale's already high, cup win could do wonders. Beating Stoke then taking 7k to MK Dons in the L2 season must have galvanised the team. Just checked and the attendance for the Stoke game was only 14k (albeit still double what we usually got). Seems a world away now.

    Sounds like there'll be a lot of kids at this one, taking my 6 year old niece to her first game as well. Fucking day trippers.

    Says a lot that Wright and Simms were having a laugh after Wright got his own back and poached his goal yesterday. Wright definitely says something to him as they celebrate and you can tell Simms' reaction is genuine.

    Hungover as fuck, no idea how people do aways on New Year's Day. Hat's off to the lot of you.

    1-0 Boro with absolutely no reasoning, just feel like we'll lose this one. I'd go full strength with a view to resting a couple against Oxford (nothing major, just anyone who's a bit leggy). Collins MvE Thomas Binks Bidwell Sheaf Eccles Saka O'Hare Wright Simms Wilson, Dasilva, Lati, Fadz...

    I forget just how good our start to the 21/22 season was, inexplicably in the playoffs for the first few months. We're still 3 points behind where we were after this many games.

    Things that annoy you

    Yes you can. In this case the cost of the repair was already up near the pay out amount and they'd only done the superficial stuff, but suspected there was some structural damage underneath.

    At the very least. I'm no fan of being charged to park at a hospital but I could almost stomach it if I found out it was subsidising free parking for the staff.

    Turkish super cup in Saudi

    Didn't they try that about 15 years ago with a "39th game" concept? Extra round of games played in places such as Saudi Arabia in the same way the NFL has a game in London every now and then. Got shot down at the time as pie in the sky nonsense but I agree it's definitely heading that way atm.

    2023 Championship Table

    That's my point though, "the next level" for us is making the play-offs fairly regularly. At least that's what Doug's aiming for with 3 out of the next 5 years if we don't get promoted in that time. Get 75-80 points and we'll make it more often than not. Turning 5 draws into wins gets us the...

    2023 Championship Table

    Now we've played the last game of the year, thought I'd have a look at this. Obviously helped by the fact we've been in the division for the whole calendar year (i.e. the promoted/relegated teams have played ~25 fewer games in the Championship) but another case of showing how far we've come in...

    Leicester away first game, it was just a roller shutter between us in the concourse. Stewards were laughing because all the banging was coming from the Leicester side, but that was it.

    Cheers mate, £9k of damage all in apparently. Luckily my insurance are paying out above the settlement figure for the finance so I'm not out of pocket. Still an absolute ball ache!
