    Pressley sacked

    Which makes you wonder why clubs are so keen to hire and then fire. It must cost them a lot of money. Surely more research should be done before they appoint someone to make sure that they are the right fit, that they can realise whatever the clubs ambitions are. Perhaps clubs should have more...

    100k tonight?

    Christi also a PL player (last season) and an international.

    Back at the Ricoh in January

    I hope you are right.

    More Wasps BS?

    I don't think that there should be a problem with fans of other clubs coming on here and adding to discussions providing they are not just here to abuse or wind up. This chap's posts, after the first few, have been polite and reasoned and give an insight from the other side. As far as I can see...

    Next 6 League Games

    I can understand that he is not match fit. But unless he is carrying an injury, his level of fitness due to training every day should mean he is able to start or come on as a sub. It could be lack of match fitness that has caused his largely unimpressive performances so far. Apart from the goal...

    Times article on Keith Houchen

    Bobby Mcdonald is my favourite left back too. I remember him bending the ball into the goal from almost on the goal line to beat Kevin Keelan in the famous 5-4 win over Norwich. A great player in a great team.

    Wasn't that Ipswich? Didn't Regis score 6 in a game against Chester?

    I loved Fergie and that team. He is one of my favourite all time players. However your statement I think is wrong. Just one example would be Cyrille’s goal in the quarter final At Hilsborough. Fergie could never have outpaced that defence from the half way line before smashing it into the bottom...

    More Wasps BS?

    Depending on the London Irish, Leicester result tomorrow Wasps could be bottom. We need Leicester to win but London Irish to get a bonus point.

    I think the fact that Regis struggled in those seasons was down to being played in the wrong way. The long ball tactics, first of Gould and then Makay were never going to bring out the best in him. Both Sillett and Regis said that in a conversation between the two when Sillett first took over...

    He had that golden season with Wallace before injuries took their toll. I would be very surprised if over his career he had a 1 in 2 ratio. In fact, a bit like Biamou, when he first got in the team he really struggled, was taking a fair bit of stick from the fans and finding it hard to score.

    More Wasps BS?

    Didn’t even get a bonus point and had a man sent off too.

    I’d have Cyrille just ahead of Fergie. I loved the Ferguson, Wallace team and I really enjoyed watching Fergie dominate in the air. I have never seen a player able to direct a header from difficult high balls in the way that he did. I would have to say that Cyrille was the better all round...

    We want to go home.

    I’d agree with this. I have never really liked the way the City was “moved” into the West Midlands. When I was growing up our address was Coventry, Warwickshire. I think the city and the county go together.

    I didn't realise that Cyrille Regis was such a poor striker for us. I'll have to take him out of my all time City team.

    Is Maddison a joker?

    To use different criteria for picking players seems unfair and wrong. Mount is a more favoured player than Maddison because he came through the England set up. You would also wonder why someone of Maddison ability didn't represent England at younger age levels. Because he came through an...

    Is Maddison a joker?

    Shouldn't they choose the team on merit, on who is the best player in a particular position at the time of selection, rather than who has played at lower age groups?

    Max biamou

    I think he started slowly in his first few games in League 2. I think his full debut was against Blackburn in the League Cup and he seemed way of the pace. However, even though he wasn’t scoring after those first few games he was playing well and contributing to the team. No doubt these comments...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southampton U21 Match Thread - Tuesday 5th Nov

    You've side stepped the issue. Max may go on to prove he is a failure at this level. In the context of last night and the preceding 3 league games your comments above are irrelevant. Max scored a hat trick last night and won the game for our team. A reason for any City fan to be pleased and to...

    Don't agree with you on the other two players either. I think it's a shame to call anyone else "garbage". Jury is surely still out on Kastaneer as he hasn't had an extended run to prove himself. At the moment he is adding very little to the team but I still hope that that will change. Bakayoko...
