Not sure whether Wilson grew up as a Cov fan or not. My nephew was in academy at same time so might ask him. However, having been at the academy for so long he will definitely have an attachment to the club. Nevertheless I don't see his decision to prefer Newcastle over Villa being anything but...

I have a different recollection to you. I seem to remember we only got round to offering Westwood a new deal in the final January of his contract. Pretty sure the same happened with Gunnarsson too.

The same applies to any big events. When the Godiva Festival is held in Coventry we will be told it is worth an extortionate amount to the local economy, likewise the the same but at a much higher level when there's a royal wedding in London. The figures normally bandied about include every...

This is right. McFadzean particularly got caught out a few times early on last season before finding his feet. So much comes down to confidence. If we are winning, playing this way will come easily to the players following last season's confidence boosting form, but if we start on a losing run...

How come his highest mark on this thread is a 5 then? He clearly didn't play well which appears to be recognised by nearly everyone, The difference is whether you accept the mitigating circumstances concerning the position he was playing and the extra tiredness brought on by covering for an...

The ball seemed to be running through to Marosi after his touch, so not sure he would have reached it either.

Seconded. Please do so as its meant for this, particularly where kids are involved.

Shipley is not a defensive midfield player and hopefully that is the last time he's played there.

Although given our options I do think Pask is the right option at RWB I wasn't expecting MR to pick him, as he has been playing Burroughs & Rowe ahead of him there in our pre season games.

Good put down, but by most experienced they don't mean oldest, but the person with most appearances. To be fair by definition that probably leads more often to the person appointed captain anyway, as in recent seasons with Doyle and Willis. I take the viewpoint that captaincy is not as important...

I'm sure you can. Don't buy off MK in case they get the money rather than CCFC.

I disagree. Jones is someone that has the ability to offer something different. It would be criminal to deny ourselves that option for those occasions a game needs changing. Even if he comes off the bench only twice in the season & turns games in our favour, it could be the difference between...

Keogh and Baker were also signings from League 1 I think. Gunnarsson also fitted in with the young European based player with potential type we are also looking at, so a bit like Hamer.

Yes, Steve Whitton is the only one that really rose up during Sexton's tenure.

My Gran's Dad ran a chippy in Spon Street which was lucky to remain standing. Her sister appeared in this BBC documentary about it, from about 10 years ago talking about her experiences of that night.

Because of the way we play, any goalkeeper we have has to have the confidence and ability to play the ball out from the back like an outfield player. I don't think there are too many about that can do that to Marosi's level. There will be times when there is a fine line in overdoing it and...

Biamou is clearly 4th in line now and his chances barring injuries, are likely to be sub cameos at best. We need 4 forwards to fill out our squad and I get the impression MR is being fair to him given his service to us in telling him the reality, but giving him the option of staying as 4th...

Not the best of timing to post this now. We are all feeling quite positive about the season so this was bound to get a negative reaction. That said, hidden amongst the bad grammar and 'drunken' bluster, is a valid issue that is not going away until there is at least an application made for...

If Jobello had been fit he would have been more suited to the wing back roll than Kastaneer simply on fitness grounds. No way MR will start with either in that position though in reality.
