    After our promotion from League 2 I thought Tom Davies was one who would comfortably make the step up, but it never happened and it was Dominic Hyam instead who did so.

    Pre Season Friendlies

    I would have thought St Pauli might bring a few for the Gyokores/ Ostigaard derby.

    Early Pre-season Final Table Predictions

    It's a really difficult call right now. I think Ipswich are likely to be the strongest of the relegated sides, but other than that it is difficult to call. As with most seasons people are getting suckered into thinking the most active in the transfer market will be challenging, hence people...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I'm not sure we would be breaking the bank. If we have to pay Blackburn £1m in compensation, but his true value is in the region of £7m we would appear to be quids in, as long as he fits within our wage structure. Having said that I don't think he would initially be a definite starter, so while...

    season ticket sales

    Up until these last few seasons we have traditionally not been a club that has sold large numbers of season tickets. I doubt we sold much more than 10,000 in any season we had in the top flight.

    Old news probably but Callum released by Newcastle official

    I would love to have him back for sentimental reasons, but his injury record realistically rules us out. He has certainly come a long way from that loan spell with Tamworth, and has had a career to be proud of. If I was him I would look at the MLS/ Saudi option rather than England where the...

    Transfer Rumour Kaine Kesler-Hayden

    I disagree. It may have been a minority but it was a significant minority and a very vocal one.

    Transfer Rumour Kaine Kesler-Hayden

    .... but his value doesn't automatically decrease! The same argument was falsely made for selling Hamer and Gyokores when they had 2 years left on their contracts, when some on here were saying take £8m for Gyokores and £5m for Hamer. Instead we got an extra year's service out of 2 exceptional...

    Who was Manager when you first started supporting Coventry City ?

    I'm not 100% sure. Mercer and Milne were the newly installed management team, but I think initially Joe Mercer was the official manager. The match programmes from that time certainly have him writing the manager's column.

    Matchday Rewind Barnsley 1 - 4 Coventry City | Sat, 11 Aug, 2007

    We actually won that game 4-3, but I know what you mean. Barnsley were near the bottom at the time and we were cruising, but by the end of the game we were desperately clinging on! By the end of the season we finished outside the play offs and Barnsley were promoted. Ben Turner getting injured...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    A squad that still made the play offs! I wouldn't expect too many newbies unless we sell any of our major players Other than a loan goalkeeper and a back up right back I would expect it will be one in one out.

    Norton-Cuffy's clear improvement is an example why some of our fans should look to give Bassette more of a chance. Players that age with potential can make giant leaps very quickly from season to season.

    Kit WC Round 2 19/20 v 01/02

    I think the 01/02 kit was much better, but it seems to me a lot of people judge the kits by the team they associated playing in that kit, hence the 19/20 promotion winning kit seemingly being preferred in this instance. An all sky blue kit goes back to the origins of Jimmy Hill's Sky Blues and...

    Hamer - Championship PotS

    Let's see where is at the end of the transfer window. I've seen reports that PL teams are interested but that Sheffield are currently demanding a hefty transfer fee.

    Who was in goal the furst game you saw ?

    Bill Glazier v Arsenal 1972 Glazier was a photographers dream as he was a very athletic goalkeeper, which always added extra panache to his saves.

    Carabao Cup Draw

    Don't get me wrong, the FA Cup is a completely different matter and is a competition I always want to see us give our best shot. The League Cup however is just an unneccesary distraction and there is pretty much no real reward until you reach the semi finals. Only last season we had a 'glamour'...

    Carabao Cup Draw

    Never too bothered about this competition. I hope Lampard plays our squad players. If they are good enough to win the game fantastic, if not then so be it.

    Players who we signed but never played in the First Team (or played just one game). Go !

    Forgotten his name now but Big Ron bought a Ghanaian 'wonderkid' who scored in the League Cup for us and then never seemed to play again.
