    Reading @ Home

    I predict that The Specials in Hamburg will be a better use of weekend than Coventry - Reading. Sad to report that you missed a score draw, however... Coventry 2 (Jutkiewicz, McSheffrey) Reading 2 (Hunt, Kebe)

    Wilkinson was involved too

    'i thought that we'd cleared up some of the Hoffman Myths. He was made Vice-Chairman of Barclays Bank(a non job in charge of equality and diversity), after being removed from the Barclaycard position due to racking up year on year huge losses and liabilities at a time when a credit card company...

    Wilkinson was involved too

    I feel no need to rise to this bait, I would Google him and check your timescales. He is a mate of my Dad's; I'm not his cheerleader, but I believe you have the Barclays adventures the wrong way round and are not quite on the money with your Northern Rock assertions. What I wrote is what I was...

    Are you a regular at the Ricoh

    I'm a little lost (maybe naive?) on this one... I really can't imagine being Indian in 2011 would preclude you from going to almost any away game. The bottom line is that away games have a better atmosphere, there is more singing, you're packed in a bit tighter, at times you're almost duty bound...

    Murphy telegraph

    The comment on page one about conceding three goals being anything but the strikers fault provoked the question 'you're surely not blaming Murphy' (so I might not be alone on inferring a tone) and the comment a couple later that 'Murphy couldn't catch a cold'. Didn't mean to cast accusations...

    Wilkinson was involved too

    I loosely know Hoffman and, whilst I understand the frustration and feel no pressure to convince any one otherwise on a football forum, I can clear up a few things... Allardyce was part of one of three teams of potential investors. As manager of WHUFC, he will have nothing to do with the bid...

    Murphy telegraph

    I haven't read the article (I am aware this makes me sound like a Daily Mail reader, annoyed on default), but surely saying that their 'keeper didn't have a save to make is just a statement of fact (one short utterance in a whole interview for someone who plays in a specialised position within a...

    Anyone else losing confidence in Thorn?

    I didn't read all the responses, just enough to get my heckles up with my fellow Coventry fans. After one performance, Cameron is a better player than Cranie? Keogh needs to go to right back and Christie should be dropped? Watch more games. Last night, Bigi was ineffective and was taken off...

    Ipswich v Coventry Preview Help

    I expect Coventry to finish mid- to lower reaches of the Championship. Many tipped us for relegation, a good few of our own fans included. Many from other clubs and some from ours still do. Off the field shenanigans and a lack of investment means pessimism > optimism, but we still have decent...

    Worst strikers ever...

    'Paul Hall, Andrew Ducros, Iyseden Christie' Why weren't these shouted up when we were all pulling our hair out about a lack of options up front? I would have felt immediately better that they were off the wage bill. Ducros and Christie were kids, but the mention of Jamaican international Paul...

    Worst strikers ever...

    And I may give you ROD, but I think Platt gets a bad rap. When he's bad, he's very bad. When he's good, he's... well, he's not as bad as some of the others mentioned. I met ROD in Leamington not so long ago and his passion for making something of his second chance with Cov was endearing. I wish...

    Worst strikers ever...

    I hope no-one mentions the inspiration for my name (Simon Haworth - basically shit striker but somehow won four or five freekicks with blatant dives and ingratiated himself with my basic skullduggery). We'e had several underwhelming professionals in all positions. Up front is no different. I...

    The worst midfield players ever...

    Isaias made his debut at home to Man City in Big Ron's first game and absolutely ran the show, if memory serves. I thought he was good as a little cameo in our history. I also didn't think Mike Marsh was too bad a player. I would suggest Julian Darby and Paul Cook to be two fairly woeful...

    predictions for derby

    I do fancy us for our first win of the season. Player for player, Derby hardly tower over us in stature. We are due a win and I would imagine Cody will have put a bit of a spring back into training. I think he is a goal getter, who won't necessarily score first but might well bag one, despite it...

    Coventry City's best XI of the 2000's

    Richard Keogh has played well at centre back this season. To dispute this suggests you have 'anti Keogh specs'. No matter, football is about opinion. And I don't have £10 billion to put on a bet. Just because someone praises a player you don't rate, no need to bemoan the state of lesser...

    What you going to do

    I haven't trawled through all the posts, but the first page alone gave me ample disappointment on which I wanted to briefly reflect. The few thousand loyal fans who remain rattling around the Ricoh turning on each other; exactly what we need. I loosely know Gary Hoffman and I want him to...
