Well since Cooke has only played a mere handful of games, and has made costly mistakes in the last three games, I'm not sure how you can claim Cooke is obviously the better. Both keepers are very inexperienced, with a lot still to prove. Indeed I believe Mowbray has said that rates both keepers...

A case of selective amnesia going on here, or are we not counting the fumble for the first goal against Doncaster. Plus of course not all Cooke's mistakes have resulted in goals.Not totally convinced by either keeper, but there is a huge case of double standards here. Burge would have absolutely...

Maybe the old adage that it is better to be lucky than good holds true then. One thing is for sure is that Cooke has made 3 bad errors in the last 3 games which have cost us 5 points. The goal we conceded on Saturday was truly woeful, and these dropped points may cost us very dearly come the end...

Very well done and much deserved, he has had a cracking month. I feel he could be a very important player for us as the season builds to a climax.

Like others have said Bill Glazier was a brilliant keeper, and he was capable of some unbelievable saves. He as much anyone was responsible for our 25 match unbeaten run that led to our fantastic promotion to the promised land. Unfortunately witnessed his terrible leg break at Maine Road, from a...

Just been announced that Dean Smith has agreed terms to join Brentford.

That doesn't surprise me, indeed I was told don't how true it is, that he had a heart murmur,and that is why he switched to being a goalkeeper. Indeed you could easily imagine him being an outfield player, unlike say Oggy who could only ever have been a goalkeeper. I imagine he will continue to...

When Fleck received the ball with his back to goal the player was only about 4-5 yards away. On a greasy pitch with the score at 2-1, the risk was huge as proved, and the reward would have been,what? Stokes in a bit of space still 80 yards from their goal. Yes Fleck must take his share of the...

Yes,the worrying thing for me with Cooke is he has always looked like a frustrated outfield player.I don't remember seeing any goalkeeper anywhere who never kicks the ball out of his hands like Cooke does, he either throws it out or drops it onto the floor. Yes he has got great feet and passes...

Went to the Butts at lunchtime to buy tickets for Chesterfield and the one positive bit of news is they have sold about 500 season tickets in the past week or so. Tickets for Saturday are so far a little disappointing but hopefully they will pick up in the next 2 days, with no game the following...

You're exactly right belief and confidence do play a huge part. You only have to look at Murphy who has turned from at times a hesitant inconsistent player who seemed to have a fragile mindset, to an absolute star who has visibly grown in confidence to be now an automatic choice and presently...

I liked Stokes from the off, and whilst he has definitely improved this season, I always thought he was pretty decent last season. Good in the air, has a good left foot, strong in the challenge, comfortable on the ball, and always show a real willingness to get forward, what is there not to...

Haven't read all this thread but I think it wasn't until post 277 , before anyone seriously mentioned 1 party who seemed to be forgotten in all this.For the past year or so most fans have moaned about Wasps coming here and stealing our stadium, but now seem quite relaxed about us seemingly...

I believe the story has been updated today re a new stadium actually being in Coventry itself with the club actually asking for help from Coventry Council which is a huge volte face if true. The link to the story is via Les Reid on twitter, and will I suppose be in this weeks Coventry...

Agree with all that,although the first half yesterday was like what we have seemingly endured for years. But the 2nd half more than made up for that, a vibrant attacking display, with just a fantastic finish. Even the goalless draw at home was far more exciting than most home games last season...

Went to see the Raiders last season at Wembley and saw them many years ago at the old Wembley play an exhibition game against New Orleans,needless to say they lost both games. Yes the last decade has been very hard going for the 'Raider Nation' ,but finally they seem to be turning it around...

Let's hope we win 6-5 on Saturday then,that's should dampen down any interest.Then just hope Cole and Armstrong don't get hat tricks ,3 own goals, Phillips, Martin and O'Brien all scoring would be perfect.:claping hands:

Yes exactly as I thought except Oxford looked a better side than Scunthorpe. As in that game the only player who enhanced his reputation was Burge, although I thought Ricketts had a generally sound game. From the outset we looked lacklustre , the ball retention was dreadful, and it was like the...

Great move by both clubs and good that we are being proactive in trying to forge closer relations with other sporting teams in Coventry. A ticket facility in a more central and accessible area will be a great help. Was going on Saturday anyway, and went 5 times last season and thoroughly enjoyed...

The trouble is a lot of fans have selective amnesia. Every man and his dog now claims Pressley was a poor manager, yet conveniently forget the huge amount of posts not that long ago, worrying about Pressley being poached or him 'doing' a Robbins and walking out. Remember the song 'there's only...
