    CCFC 10 years from now...

    Sometimes it feels like we are yesterday's man. The footballing elite have moved so far ahead of us. The forgotten football club. I think a massive part of our identity demise has been the loss of Highfield Road. It was synonymous with the club and Jimmy Hill's vision. The Ricoh has turned...

    CCFC 10 years from now...

    I'm sure this has been done to death, but I'm curious. Those of you who've seen it all and those who are newer to the club. Where do you see us in 10 years time? Will we have a club? A stadium of our own? Premier League or Vanarama? Personally I think we'll be ok, but I doubt I'll see us...

    Losing the desire to follow

    I think this mellowing towards the game at large is a feeling shared by a great many supporters up and down the land, EPL or otherwise. Money has changed the landscape and the merciless rebranding of clubs to make them a more sellable business model is just one aspect of the sports demise. As...

    Losing the desire to follow

    I think this shit will rumble on for a bit yet but the owners will sell up, especially if we fail to get promoted. I've been questioning it all for a while now, I went to countless games last season home and away and only saw us win once, at Wembley. I went to the Newport game and I'm going to...

    Burge's distribution

    Would it not make sense to just get one of the outfield players to take his goal kicks from now on? It's obviously a part of his game he just can't develop and it's looking like a waste of time even trying. His shot stopping is good and he'll be decent in league two, but he can't kick straight...

    Utter gash...

    Mate it was a bizarre call. Why was Reilly even playing? Please God don't say he's being signed up for next season. The fans hate him, he's as effective as a chocolate fireguard. We need some nastiness in that team. Players who put themselves about and intimidate the opposition. We are so...

    Utter gash...

    Why are we going down? That shower today typified what's been wrong all season. Still the chips were good.

    DKE ahead of Willis.

    Team for tomorrow

    Personally I'd like to see the players on the fringes given a go. Players who could be important to the team next season. The result is irrelevant so why not just get out there and have a right go from the off. Addai Willis Turnbull Harries Haynes Reid Bigi Lameiras Jones G Thomas Kwame...

    Pick a decent league 2 team + Target signings

    I refuse to give up on Jones just yet. He's still raw, but he's got pace and I'm slowly seeing signs his all round game is improving bit by bit. Think he could shine in league two especially against slower defenders. Bigi should shine in that division, if he doesn't then he is done as a...

    The Gigs Thread

    Went to see the Cure in December in London, great live band but too many encores for me and left before the end. Saw Sabbath in Leeds and thoroughly enjoyed it and I've got Maiden coming up next month.

    Thank God for Robins

    Well it at least shows that they appreciate we need to do all we can in a scouting sense to make the right calls. I don't think it necessarily requires heavy investment, just the right players both in ability and character to battle us out of league two immediately. We have to bounce straight...

    Thank God for Robins

    If you wanted to be cynical I suppose there is a case that could be made which says Robins needs Cov as much as the club and fans need him. His career had stagnated, I'm not sure there would have been any better or bigger options on the table than ours. That said I think we've finally got...

    Thank God for Robins

    Absolutely recruitment is key. We need players with a point to prove, some experience of the division and a proven goal scorer at that level. We haven't had a consistent striker this season and goes a long way to explaining why we are where we are. I have no idea about league two players, but...

    Thank God for Robins

    Thing is part of me thinks we probably won't have a club at all in a couple of years if SISU are still around. I can't see them relocating the club especially if it were outside Cov like last time. They'd wrap it up and that would be that. From that horrifying prospect it makes me even more...

    Thank God for Robins

    I seriously think had we stuck with Slade or replaced him with another below par appointment the club could very well be headed for relegation from league two next season. As it stands I firmly believe we will bounce back. Maybe not as Champions or automatic, that will come down to...

    Who's going to Rochdale???

    I'm going. Robins has done nothing wrong and deserves our full backing as do the academy lads that have shone when called upon by a coach who's had faith in them. One of the few positives around the club is that we've actually got a decent manager. He's got the minerals to get Coventry...

    Match Thread Sheff Utd v Coventry Match Thread - Wednesday 5th Apr

    I'lloyd be there, it's a local game for me so no excuse not to. I'm getting quietly confident about this one. Think we might just prove we are a better side than our season says we are.

    Match Thread Sheff Utd v Coventry Match Thread - Wednesday 5th Apr

    A draw isn't unrealistic, think the cup win could give us the confidence to man up and fight to the last for the season. Then again we could get thumped and the game be over by half time. Will tickets be available on the turnstiles?

    Match Thread Oldham v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 11th Feb

    We're winning and winning well today. 4-1 to City. I'm the most negative fecker going, now it might just be the cider but I'm feeling confident of a season turning result. Trust me, a good win and we'll go on a little run. I don't think we were dreadful against Millwall, they just had better...
