    On a free he looks like a good squad signing for someone.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    If so it might be best if it is behind closed doors :eek:

    Summer transfer window 2024

    You're surely either bullshitting or your source is winding you up? Playing them there would be a recipe for disaster, attracting a load of numbskulls from each side, which would then keep this stupid rivalry even more alive than present. Can't see either club being interested in such a game...

    JDS

    Trouble with Dasilva is that he was brought into play as a wing back and not a full back, and his defensive deficiencies are too easily exposed when he plays in a back 4. Unless we return to play with wing backs instead of full backs I just can't see him fitting in next season. From what I've...

    In summary

    One of our biggest problems this season was the number of times we conceded the first goal. Don't know the exact numbers but I'm sure we conceded first more times than we scored first, which for a top half team really shouldn't be the case.

    EARLY CUP EXIT NEXT SEASON PLEASE

    Not having a cup run doesn't mean that we automatically then challenge for promotion, you just can't pick and choose like that, although I have agreed with MR's policy of not taking the League Cup too seriously as that has become irrelevant. The FA Cup is different though, and having produced...

    Player Ratings

    Wow the Eccles haters are back. I thought he was one of our better players on a night that was a difficult one following the comedown from Sunday. That said, I certainly wish he and our other midfielders would take the option to shoot more often rather than take an extra pass, but I don't recall...

    Blackburn away

    Blackburn are desperate for a result. A mega following from us where they feel like the away team would put them at a disadvantage. They would lose far more money from being relegated than the extra income 3,000 more Sky Blues fans might bring them. Their decision makes sense for them unfortunately.

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    I find it hard to believe the VAR guys were wilfully biased, but I can definitely see them being subconsciously biased in favour of the 'big' team and that if Man U had scored the same goal it wouldn't have been overturned. Also seen a lot of justification for the neutrality of the officials by...

    Train strikes

    In other words the managers were required to be scabs - industrial relations strategy for beginners!!

    Villa away...

    The Villa fans I know all felt they were running the gauntlet on their trips to HR, but unless your jouney as a home fan involved being in close proximity to away fans immediately outside the ground, on Gosford Park, or on the way back to the station, you could easily have remained oblivious to it.

    Match Thread Birmingham City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Apr

    Their local businesses were welcoming, but any of our our fans walking back to New Street after the FA Cup ties at their place might have an alternative view on how receptive their fans were.

    Fa cup tickets

    Once the 50+ points period has passed perhaps the club should also open up to i follow account holders based abroad, many of whom I should imagine would like to come back for the match, but unlikely to be otherwise able to source tickets directly themselves.

    Item Thread for those looking for FA cup tickets

    I'm guessing the sarcasm and wariness is based on the new forum members suddenly appearing asking for tickets, which could be a ploy used by Man United supporters who can't get tickets through their own club to try and get some of ours instead. Obviously this shouldn't apply for people who have...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    I think the cheap JSB prices will definitely go. Will still need to cater to our future support base though, so will be interesting to what level increases are made in that area.

    Fa cup tickets

    Is General Sale still one ticket per person (with account history)? Not sure if it is the case but I would have thought it logical at that point for season ticket holders and those with tickets purchased through points history to be allowed to buy at least 1 extra ticket each?

    Video Coventry City v Cardiff City highlights

    Am definitely looking at it differently to you :) If you are judging only by both players feet then for me Wright was definitely onside as Bowlers left foot is playing him on. The questionable part is where Wright's shoulder is in relation to Bowler's left foot, and for me that is marginal and...

    Video Coventry City v Cardiff City highlights

    Wibble! Not sure how you see it as being so clearly offside! It is a marginal call whether Bowler (player 1) was playing Wright on or not, and I don't think there could have been too many complaints if it was given. However, with the manner of the 2 goals we conceded it is probably just best...

    Lineker was gutted

    People see what they want to see. If he has convinced himself of the Lineker smirk, nothing will change his view on that! Personally I thought MOTD were very respectful of us on the day we were relegated, and made a lot more of us going down and our history in the top league than many other...
