    Ricketts or Slade ?.

    I didn't rate Ricketts as a player in his time here and theres nothing to suggest he could motivate this current playing squad. If Sam Ricketts is already the man pencilled in as our manager already then I'm sure RS would walk away in a month or so if he got wind this was the case and all...

    Match Thread AFC Wim'don v Coventry Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Feb

    Based on no Beavon, Turnbull in for Rawson, DKE as a right winger to use his pace and get balls in the box with more experienced player in Foley in behind him. Bigi in for Rose who's not impressed me lately. Yakubu on the bench and K Thomas who's still returning from a long absence...

    Match Thread AFC Wim'don v Coventry Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Feb

    Stevenson is injured and bigi didn't set the world alight against Brighton u23's. That said I'd bring him in for rose who's disappointed me lately

    Nathan Clarke

    I don't think Nathan clarke is that bad, you put a fast organised defender like Willis along side him and a seasoned keeper behind I think you stand a better chance. He's errors in him naturally as he's a division 3 defender, you'll be hard pushed to find one that's not... if you do he will be...

    Steve Evans

    Evans went to Mansfield a good few weeks before we appointed Slade, like yourself was happy with either. In hindsight maybe it would of been better to of got Evans in before MV shafted the squad of any confidence. If I recall he was a hugely unpopular choice tho back when TM left late one...

    Slade's post Oldham interview .....

    I thought Slade gave a very honest damming verdict of his players that was tactically better put than what Mark Venus did. We clearly had some good chances, but yet again individual errors cost us. Ultimately these errors are proving costly. Several individual errors at Oldham, against...

    Yakubu

    Well against Bolton and Millwall we looked like borrowers

    Yakubu

    Where have all these quotes come from that suggest he's overweight? Do we have the standard picture of him with the scarf held high or shirt with his name on the back?

    Villa Behind Closed Doors Friendly

    Sounds good, when is this? It did suggests that he was looking at several options in his interview not just striker and central mid, right winger

    Yakubu

    Not so sure why so much negativity around him. We're light on strikers, here we have a striker of size who if he can win a ball, hold off a player and lay off to someone it opens up opportunities for others. He may not have 10 goals in him and blistering pace but he's a focal point. Akinfenwa...

    How many season tickets will be sold next season

    I'm of a similar stance. I'll most likely renew. My 11 year old love's going. Home and away, I'm not gonna let these clowns ruin me and my boys day out (even tho it seems 11 clowns do every week!!) On a brighter note I enjoy Crewe away having been a few times. Chesterfield was a easy trip, the...

    Slade

    I'm a optimistic person, Tuesday night is the very very last of the short straws left. After that we're very much league two. I fear "the promising young manager" is already here in Ricketts. Slades not been able to cut it here, so if ricketts is the man give it him now not later. Let him make...

    Slade

    What makes you suggest that would fix anything tho? A change of playing style is all, fundamental issues are still there. Bottom line is there not good enough. I'd only suggest we did that IF ricketts was the man leading us in league 2 next year, something has to change tho.

    Slade

    That's a interesting point, I thought he left Charlton and the local crap rag reported RS wanted him. Not heard any more. I was under the assumption that RS had to make do with the backroom staff already here. Coventry City boss Russell Slade to announce assistant manager I suppose you could...

    Is There No Out Of Contract Goalkeepers About ?

    Had a chuckle when I read this. I see your point it's a area that needs addressing. Say we're linked with a out of contract keeper, not had a club for a while many will hammer him before he arrives as he won't be "match fit" and "legs are gone" and "how far we've fallen" when in reality do his...

    Relegation thread

    Was Turnbull that good, really? He did a job v Wycombe but had the help of several others around akinfenwa in the second half, man to man he didn't win all his duels alone. I agree a bit of consistency and confidence may of worked but he's been bang average and made mistakes all season. Bit...

    Slade

    Uwe rostler in was never a option, for several reasons including a big compensation fee and being at a well built steadily run club. Gary Caldwell too, he's yet to taste victory too with his poor squad and no new manager bounce there having been beaten by Oldham and Northampton so there is...

    Divorce

    Sorry to hear shmmeee... thankfully I've dodged the marriage bullet for 13 years. Been a rocky road so can sympathise with you in areas and as you will find it pulls hard on your heart not seeing your kids daily. There will be light at the end of the tunnel which ever the outcome maybe. Only...
