    Doug King live on air Monday

    Two threads now seemingly dedicated to discussion of the box pricing increase. And I’ve sadly caught up with them both tonight, despite having no skin in the game. Christ, we need a signing or a contract renewal pronto!

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Late to the party but finally watching Succession. I put it off for so long as I wasn’t particularly intrigued by the premise - what a mistake. I don’t even really know how to describe it, but it really is an immense show. I’ve just finished season 2 episode 8 - the Kendall rap - wow...

    Luke Mcnally

    Heard the same (not so secret) whispers too. Great statement if true. Let’s get Hamer sorted and we can all start to get over excited.

    The holiday 2023 thread

    My partner sometimes thinks I spend more time reading SBT than listening to her, however if she read this post all would be forgiven! She’s been desperate to go on a cruise for a while, as she used to do them a lot with her family. I’m slowly coming round to be idea tbf! Albeit for this mini...

    Transfer Rumour Jerry Yates

    I’ve always liked Yates whenever I’ve seen him play. Yates, Godden and the Vik replacement is an imposing three. Obvious massive caveat being who the Vik replacement is. Also, not for £4mil - that seems high.

    The holiday 2023 thread

    Thanks Both. Other options I’ve identified so far based on logistics, costs and dates are: Marseille Bordeux Bratislava Milan Pisa Valencia Bologna Perpignan My opinion on Marseille is pretty tarred, but I was last there for the Russia/England game so I’m sure it isn’t a true reflection...

    The holiday 2023 thread

    Our holidays changed as soon as our children arrived. Everyone is different, but for me the thought of an overseas family holiday while they’re so young doesn’t appeal - it just wouldn’t be relaxing. So instead we’re doing UK holidays with the kids and short trips abroad together as a couple...

    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    I like Panzo. When he came on at Wembley I said to my mate ‘he’s a good player, but he has mistake in him’ - and then he did exactly that! With some consistent game time and you’d hope confidence, I think he can be a good player for us - and critically cut out some of the mistakes. Popular...

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    Good positive signing. Timed really well too after the sense of deflation following the weekend. He is an alternative style to Bidwell, and generally more offensive, but equally he isn’t the same as Maatsen/JWE and won’t be looking to constantly take players on. I hope fans realise that and...

    Tomas Kalas

    Getting ahead of ourselves, but a back three of: McNally Kalas ‘A Another’ With Fadz as a very able and experienced back up, is a pretty solid Championship back three. Make that ‘A Another’ Doyle and I think we’d all be very happy.

    Consolidation

    Have faith. MR/AV et al have rebuilt us before. We’ve been through the current situation before; losing our “best” players, having to rebuild a squad, picking up a team after a big disappointment, building a tight knit squad after a high turnover of players. And this pre season he gets to do...

    Atmosphere at Today’s Game

    Hate stuff like that; why bring your children if you just plan to get pissed. Have a few sure, but enjoy the day with the family. Possibly sounds a bit judgemental based on an off hand comment, but saw a few examples of it on Saturday too and just instantly felt for the kids.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Had no idea - don’t follow the chants of other teams. In which case, their post is entirely fair!

    The Rebuild- Around Hamer and Sheaf

    I’m actually excited to see how we line up first game of the season. Sheaf, McNally, Wilson (?!), Fadz (ish), Palmer, COH, Eccles - all good enough to be part of a promotion winning squad. Few solid players and two/three special players to replace Hamer/Vik and we’re in for another good...

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    If intentional that’s pretty classless and shit tbh. No need for it - there are no hard feelings between the clubs.

    Breaking News!

    Dabo taking one was a surprise, of those left I thought Bidwell and Fadz would have a go. Equally I was massive worried when Eccles, Kelly and Sheaf stepped up. Dabo will feel the weight of the world on him today. His penalty was absolutely atrocious but he doesn’t deserve that and as fans -...

    Breaking News!

    Absolutely disgusting. If accounts can be linked to “genuine” Cov “fans” - the club should be banning them from everything CCFC related.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    If the worst happens today and we don’t win, while there will be mass disappointment amongst fans and the teams, and there won’t be a post game party atmosphere like the last few games, I really hope we give the players the reception and recognition they deserve. Yes we’ll all be gutted, but...
