    Guess the crowd for Morecambe......

    It’ll be fantastic to have such a great crowd and atmosphere today. Extra money for the club too, a shame it means for Wasps as well. Hopefully we live up to expectations. Controversial and wrong I know, but I can’t help but have a slight feeling of frustration at those who will be there today...

    It’s bank holiday, it’s basically a rule to drink all weekend!

    Avoiding errors is absolutely key I agree. For once I’d happily see us hoof the ball from the keeper/defence rather than try anything that may get us into trouble. If we go behind, they will absolutely park the bus and we’ll struggle to score.

    Guess the crowd for Morecambe......

    Pretty sure everyone’s preference is for us to win the game and Coventry is the priority. But as a side note, I’d like them to stay up. Doesn’t mean at the expense of us securing the result we need.

    I love it when the fair weather fans turn up!

    I spent a straight 30 minutes tonight explaining to my girlfriend that if the worst happens tomorrow not to expect me home or that I’ll make any sort of rational decision, as I’ll be absolutely pissed off. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure she switched off after, ‘I know you won’t get the feeling...

    Fair play to Morecambe for offering free transport. Hopefully it’ll be a good atmosphere and we don’t send them down.

    Match Thread Coventry City v Morecambe Match Thread Saturday 5th May

    I’ve read this several times over the last week and while I get your logic and admire the optimism, the last day of the season is almost a standalone fixture, so who knows what results it could throw up. I do think we’ll win tomorrow, but I’m also a Coventry fan who has experienced nothing but...

    Guess the crowd for Morecambe......

    I’m bringing my Man U supporting friend tomorrow. I think he’s secretly becoming a Coventry fan; he’s been to more Cov games over the last two years than Man U games, although I suppose that’s standard for most Man U “fans”. Big crows plus big expectations doesn’t usually equal good outcome...

    As it gets closer the nerves are only going one way. Ideal scenario: we win comfortably and have to play Lincoln in the semis, as I’d hope MR can find a way to counter their predictable one dimensional football. I won’t even put the worst case in words, but if that happens I can see it being a...

    Academy news

    Great news. In my opinion the academy really has been one of the few shining lights in a grim few years. I definitely take extra pride in those who succeed (be it here or those who move on to bigger and better) and have come through our own academy.

    If I knew anything about how greyhounds worked I would have a flutter, but I don’t. Although saying that I might have a go at the weekend. I’ll use the winnings from all the Coventry bets I’ll have won on then Saturday!

    Play Offs Dates

    I really want to avoid the Thursday night game as I’m at a Charity event all day and Ive already received, at best, mixed responses when explaining why I need to leave early. The joke about Coventry being a charity case in itself wasn’t appreciated either.

    Sky Blues Betting Previews & Tips

    Really good idea. I’m a lazy gambler. I always fancy a flutter at the weekend but never find the time to complete the research. I do usually place a few bets on Coventry, but that’s just based on my preferences as opposed to anything else. So having someone else to complete the research is...

    It is subdued but it’s still a pretty emotive piece and definitely has me more excited/apprehensive/nervous for Saturday. It’s frustrating we aren’t going into the last day challenging for the autos, but it’s still a better feeling that usual, and the first time in my lifetime, we are...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Morecambe Match Thread Saturday 5th May

    I am naturally a little apprehensive as this is Coventry after all, however I actually think we will win by a few goals; 3/4-0. I know we have underperformed numerous times this season, especially against weaker teams such as Morecambe, however if the players can’t motivate themselves for game...

    It’s going to be Lincoln isn’t it!!

    I actually wouldn’t mind it being Lincoln. They were pretty one dimensional against us, so at least we know what to expect. Plus, when we actually played football, passed the ball around and moved for each other, they were nowhere near us. From both a form and practical sense (i.e. travel) I...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    As has been said before, unfortunately we seem to have our fair share of idiots. Especially at away games. It’s a shame when you don’t even feel relaxed amongst your own fans. There seems to be a mindset amongst certain fans that they are ‘well hard’ so they can do what they want. Even in the...

    I’m a little late to the party, but what an absolutely fantastic result. That sort of performance was needed and the players did not let us down. They owed us after Tuesday. Fair play to MR as he obviously had them motivated. It was also a big call to drop JCH, who I imagine would not have...
