    Wembley final - squad to choose from

    I want to see players who have a genuine desire to do well for the club and, on the one day of the season we actually have something to cheer for, will give their all for the fans who have seen nothing but disappointment for years. It's cliche but those that fit the above criteria are likely to...

    Could Wembley be your final game ?

    I think that's down to interpretation - my post wasn't intended to split fans into good and bad. In my view being a supporter means supporting the team through good and bad. I also appreciate others will have been doing that for many more years than I and so will be at their wits end.

    Could Wembley be your final game ?

    As you pointed out I used the word 'if', so you've sort of answered your own question. Not sure I get your final point, great expectations is not the same as hope. I am all for taking action against the owners if it is worthwhile and productive, but not against the team.

    Slade Rumour

    I'm not going to waste time looking up the exact figures, but I'm pretty sure he rarely gets much time when he is introduced and even then it's usually been in an unfamiliar position. I'm not saying he would save our season, my point was in counter to another post re Slade using youngsters.

    Slade Rumour

    Not sure I agree. RCC/Burge, DKE, Haynes and Willis have all played out of necessity rather than a conscious choice from RS, while K Thomas has literally never been fit and available to any other manager. The only one he has favoured over other managers is G Thomas. Even that can be balanced...

    APRIL 2nd 2017

    I don't think anyone would argue with the sentiment of any protest against SISU, the common theme has been the anti climatic/disappointing/embarrassing and basically poor execution. We seemingly have a million fan groups, why can't one take control and organise a unanimous anti SISU, but not...

    Could Wembley be your final game ?

    Alternatively, Nick could print it off and if we end up challenging for promotion we could see posters opinions of supporting the team at that point?

    Is Slade our worst manager ever?!

    Obviously results are the most important measure of a managers success, and they speak for themselves, but if you outside of the results nothing points to him being a good manager. His tactics are one dimensional with no plan b, no thought to the oppositions style/tactics, just long ball. He...

    Cov fans are everywhere

    I'm in Norway and have met two Coventry fans, plus all of the locals we have spoken to have not only actually heard of Coventry City, but also know lots about us (Wembley, relegation, Ricoh, Northampton etc), which is often not the case when I am abroad. Lots of talk of Soldvet though, as I...

    Slade Out

    In all fairness I'm sure there were cheaper options e.g. Ricketts, lower division managers, youth manager etc. It's just another wrong choice.

    Could Wembley be your final game ?

    No, I will still support the team regardless of owners, division or players/managers. That is what being a supporter is in my view. However I'm sure Wembley will be the first and last game for some - 'going out on a high' could be another excuse for some though.

    Yakubu

    That video is an absolute disgrace. Fair play to Huckerby - he's an ex player who genuinely seems to have an affinity for the club, it's good to see.

    I think you answered your own question; he's a footballer, the type of player Slade doesn't like. The same reason Bigi isn't playing, but Rose is.

    So Slade says he is going to make changes for Bury

    RCC over Burge every day of the week. Give Bigi a chance; on form he's better than L1, and even not on form he will always give 100%. Drop Rose and potentially Tudgay (but I'm unsure who can replace him) and Haynes (but again I'm unsure on replacements).

    Slade Out

    Definitely time to get rid, although it will cost us money to do so as I doubt he will walk. He inherited a poison chalice, but he's done zero to rectify that and I would argue we are in a worse position (metaphorically speaking) than when he took over. His tactics and team selections are...

    Worst player you've ever seen? Rose is shit, but you do remember Andre Wright don't you?!

    Don't forget Rawson either. Another lump with no footballing ability - classic Slade.
