    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    As long-suffering fans who have seen the highs of winning the FA Cup and staying in the top flight for the better part of over three decades as well as the lows of dropping into league 2 and not having a ground to call home, aren’t we entitled or expected to want something more from the club we...

    Match Thread Tranmere Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

    Bogey team (the Tranmere fan forum web site lists our last win there in 10 attempts as being in 1938 and they are the only team to beat us so far at St. Andrews) . Boggy ground (even Tranmere fans feel the poor playing surface will be to their advantage). While I don't want to take away...

    Hopefully we face a team that is tired and worse for wear. We should capitalise on the extra rest and play a more uptempo game. A first win away at the table toppers will be massive.

    Anything other than gaining 3 points in this match will deal a huge blow to our playoff aspirations and confidence. It's a must-win.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I think Robins wants us playing a brand of football that is played at a higher level (and also pleasing to the eye). However, for League 1 that may not be the right approach as some teams opt for a more direct and physical approach to counter that. I also agree that we've been outdone by the...

    They are a much better team than they get credit for. They will turn us over.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Dec

    After 11 away games and having the lead beyond the hour mark, we cannot keep blaming the refs for our mistakes or finding other excuses for our lack of execution away from home. We should have subbed players and kept the lead or increased it. This team is going nowhere if it cannot win away...

    I fear that we’re in for a hiding vs Peterborough due to our current lack of confidence and their potent strike force.

    Match Thread MK Dons vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 19th Oct

    We've dropped 2 points at Bolton, 2 at Oxford, should've won against Tranmere (so 3 dropped there). That accounts for 7 massive points dropped. Imagine how strong our promotion push would have been. If we don't win this game, I feel we seriously need to go back to the drawing board to figure...

    Plan B?

    Yes, Houston is among the top 20 fastest growing US cities, but probably not as fast as Austin which I like a lot as well. But the great thing about where I am is the cost of living is low and, unlike Austin, I can fly direct from Houston to pretty much anywhere in the US (which is important to...

    Plan B?

    Hi Clint, I am in the Houston area.

    Plan B?

    Totally agree with the idea of a plan B and finding a way to counter the high press which is hard for an opposition to sustain for a full 90 minutes. Teams like Rotherham, Blackpool, Portsmouth, AFC Wimbledon etc. have all benefited from pressing our backline and picking off back passes that are...

    Match Thread Burton Albion vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Sep

    Agree with the lineup changes assuming Mason is fit. Otherwise, McCallum, Watson or Williams needs to slot in. O’Hare deserves to start especially because we need to be more of threat going forward in a tough place to play. With that said, I think a draw would be a very good result.

    Glad our fans aren't the manager...

    The thing fans don't realise are the factors Robins has to take into consideration when selecting a team namely: 1) Do I tinker with an unbeaten line-up? 2) How would changing the line-up affect the morale of the person(s) being replaced (because the team is unbeaten thus far)? 3) What if making...

    Positives

    The team must learn from their mistakes and not just ignore issues. In spite of the great start to the season (which we have seen on occasion in our history) we as fans have every right to feel disappointed that we're not on 16 points right now. The team must try to eradicate conceding soon...

    Emotions

    Well now I know how Portsmouth must have felt. Robbed by the ref at Bolton and today we scored 4 (maybe 5) goals and gave away 2 points when it was easier to win.

    Match Thread Watford vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 27th Aug

    I feel we should rest some of our starters and rotate our squad. Maybe we could try a 4-4-2 lineup of Wilson, Dabo, Hyam, Rose, McCallum, Jobello, O'Hare, Westbrooke, Kastaneer, Bakayoko and Biamou. Subs: Kelly, McFadzean, Shipley, Godden, Marosi, Mason, Hiwula, Bapaga
