"goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic became an unlikely goal hero. ... From a goal-kick, he punted the ball out of his hands" I don't normally go in for bashing the local journalists, but this is just embarrassing. Can't possibly know the first thing about football. Digest: On the day Oggy scored THAT...

Weren't his problems last season related to his back? If so, returning to full mobility can take a very long time (if it happens at all). He certainly doesn't seem to be the player of a couple of years ago, who would have really stood out in this league.

Agreed, he was class - the problem was he was never fit :(

So we’re in a crap league, there’s not much pace, the shooting’s rubbish and people can’t cross a ball. But we’ve only conceded 6 in 12 games, which is a rare cause for optimism in these bleak years. If the defence can keep that up it gives us the platform for promotion, and I’d take that...

Completely agree BackRoom, and I'm not seriously comparing the guys we have now with the old legends. But they can't do any more than keep clean sheets in the league they're playing in can they?

An incredible defensive record so far this season, albeit in the fourth division. Which are the best Sky Blues defensive line-ups people can remember? A few which stand out in my mind would be: - Glazier, Smith, Blockley, Barry or Parker, Cattlin - Blyth, Thomas, Dyson, Gillespie...

From November 2016 - Jaguar Land Rover factory could be built on Cov Airport runway

Agree with that - Andreu looked like the best footballer in the squad (too good for League 2 IMO), so he will be a big miss.

Ah, Steve Whitton isn’t a name that crops up much. Not an outstanding player, but surely nobody has ever hit the ball harder in the history of the game. It’s a wonder the ball didn’t burst!

I know what you mean :) But the opening period last night was desperately bad, and for the first time in all my years not even up to Football League standard IMO. We were getting played off the park by Shrewsbury. I looked around at that empty stadium and the clueless rubbish being served up...

Fully agree with that. Andreu is the best footballer in the squad, and we need to play a system where he gets the ball as often as possible. That first half was truly non-League standard, and the worst City performance I’ve seen in over 50 years. The long balls gave the forwards no chance –...

Nearly boiled at Wembley on that lovely day in May 87, secretly wearing the lucky thermal top from the 3rd round in January! It was worth it of course, how else were we going to win? Still got it somewhere I think, maybe it should get another run-out.

Well, a pair of lucky sky blue pants lost their unbeaten 12-game run yesterday. The question is – should I stay loyal and give them another chance for the next match (especially as they delivered a trophy last season), or be ruthless and bring in a different pair to replace them? Almost...

Presumably you don't need to buy - you can just wriggle through the turnstile undetected?

Thanks ferret, will try again this evening. Bought a match package yesterday, and that part of the process went nicely, only to find that Saturday’s game was not available. Hopefully there’ll be a way to self-print the tickets – if so, this will be my most practical way of going to matches...

Yeah, I’ve been trying to buy tickets for Saturday but they’re not showing on the website. Rang up Ticketmaster, and was told the club had removed them, since she couldn’t access them on her system either. The poor misguided girl even ventured to suggest in all sincerity that it might be sold...

Pros Bags of skill, a bit of pace and a desire to go at the other team. The kind of player who could make it worthwhile going to a game, and (let’s face it) we haven’t had many of them in recent years. A fine prospect IMO and I’m glad we’ve got him. Cons Inexperienced and unreliable at this...

That’s very true. But I never said Harries shouldn’t have been sold. As with Wilson and Maddison - it would have been great to watch them play for City for a few years (like we did with Gillespie), but given the state of the club I’ve long since accepted that we can’t keep anybody who’s any...

Yep, eventually got a richly deserved move to Liverpool. Not sure what your point is?

Based on my personal opinion of course. Could be wrong, just like the Premier League team that has signed him on a on a 3 year deal could be wrong. The way he receives the ball, calmness under pressure, sends people the wrong way with ease, can pick a pass and execute it. Really enjoyable to...
