    Excitment with caution......

    I can't get carried away until the threat of liquidation is gone. Or the chance of playing at Hinckley. Or the threat of a 10 point deduction for non payment of football creditors (rent) subsides. Football wise we are flying and should make playoffs, it's just all the off the field crap that's...

    automatic promotion out of reach?

    We havnt had a 'blip' yet. I think the aim has to be 6th place. Other teams have games in hand and this run won't last forever.

    Bailey back till end of season

    Great news. We will sign McGoldrick next and then get wound up. Typical. ;-)

    Improvements made

    Another benchmark is we are now playing teams again that beat is before. Stevenage looked very solid when they beat us at the Ricoh arena. They made us look pretty poor. Now we've gone back to their park and bossed them. Complete turnaround.

    Improvements made

    Certainly, we will have the odd blip, but we need to make sure we bounce back. By the way, the BBC site reports 74% possession for us yesterday!

    Improvements made

    It's amazing to think it's more or less the same players that were called unworthy and boo'd by our fans. I even got attacked on here by some morons over it for suggesting it before. Maybe they weren't so bad after all and it was the piss poor management. Robins has made the individuals a...

    Fleck

    Fleck was clearly damaged goods. Kind of a better version of Kevin Thornton. It's been frustrating him not playing (or not playing well) but i trust Robins. If leaving him out and making him graft is reaping dividends then we could see a great midfield maestro pulling the strings in 2nd half...

    Will we go more direct with Leon

    Positioning, strength, pace anticipation, finishing... Someone's been playing too much football manager 2013 I'd say.

    endorsement of Fleck from Beckham.... what went wrong?

    I still have high hopes for Fleck. The lad is 21 and being kept out of the team is teaching him he has to earn his place. Personally I'd play him just behind the striker ( Clarke probably) with McSheffrey wide left, Baker wide right and Jennings and Moussa in the engine room ( once Bailey leaves)

    Leon Clarke joins on loan??

    Nice to get the replacement in BEFORE mcg leaves so we are not panicking about a replacement.

    Boxing Day deadline

    I didn't want to start a thread on this as I don't want it to be taken too seriously (I'm probably the most cynical person there is for hearing these rumours, especially from my mate who knows I'm after gossip). BUT... In the car going to the game yesterday, my mate who works at the club...

    Coventry V Preston match thread

    Right now I'll just be glad to make it. Woken up with man flu firmly taking a hold. I hope for a win, but every path has its puddle. I just hope today isn't it as it's a great chance to make some progress.

    2 and a half working days

    I out through payments bigger than that and they go through in 20 mins or so.

    2 and a half working days

    ... Till Christmas. That means 2 and a half days to pay the rent! I knew they'd cut it fine, but just for once would be nice to have a stress free time with City.

    the mcg confidence factor

    While I don't claim to be anyone that's heard anything about Mcgoldrick, just ask yourself to look back over our record in these matters. In light of the worst off the pitch troubles that we've probably ever known, do you really expect this to be the time they change? The only way to not be...

    Goldy's going; Who can replace him?

    I love how people hope we've changed. They will deliver nothing but disappointment on the McGoldrick front. We will let him slip through, join a rival and propel them to promotion and leave us mid table.

    Hull to leave the KC

    Exactly the same for us, we can't build a smaller stadium in Cov as the Council would never sign it off.

    Waggot and SBITC

    Not at all. I had a chuckle when I read it earlier. About 10 ten days ago my CCFC employed mate was telling me that the community branch got a little put out that suddenly Waggot was getting involved in things they normally do, taking it off them. They asked him what was going on and he told...

    Robins plays down McG chances

    It's a shame Cody is obviously way off the pace. I'd of liked to see him getting some game time in prep for McG leaving.

    It's all about Robins

    What I like best is it WASN'T an immediate impact as such. I mean Dowie and Adams produced flashes in the pan. We didn't find out if Black was or not. Under MR tho its been gradual improvement dragging the team from second bottom to 13th and being the team to beat in the league.
