    Turgid

    I think even you would agree that it is unfair to blame Bigi for all 8 losses. How many other players were also involved in those 8 games? By the same logic the blame should be equally apportioned (fair play if you can actually be bothered to check). Your hatred of Bigi blinds you from reason...

    Turgid

    I said similar on another thread, but I do worry about RS a little and the style of football he wants to play if Rose and Reilly are his central midfield preference. Stevenson and Bigi are both more creative and technically gifted players, and while they may not be physical in stature or playing...

    Relegation thread

    I can't provide any justifiable or logical reasoning as to why, but I am not convinced we will go down. Things are bleak league wise, but with three (maybe four) new additions - centre forward, winger (x2 ideally) and a centre midfielder (if BS goes) - plus Stokes back, and we suddenly look a...

    Match Thread Chesterfld v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 14th Jan

    Gary Johnson - currently third from bottom of League Two and an all round tosser (according to some within the game). No thanks.

    Match Thread Chesterfld v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 14th Jan

    Potentially controversial, but I wouldn't mind if RS had a little chat with Evans after the game. He could be the striker we are looking for, especially thinking about next season too once he has had a full season under his belt this year.

    RCC

    Burge has definitely improved this season, I'm certainly not as worried every time the opposition even enter the final third as I was last year, but RCC is the superior keeper. Yes he is prone to poor decision making when it comes to rushing out to meet the ball, but aside from that he is...

    Checkatrade Draw Thread

    What a shit draw from a fans perspective. I was really looking forward to the next round, but instead we draw a team who shouldn't even be in the competition and it entails a six hour round trip. Oh well, I hope we have more fans than they do and we absolutely trash them, hammering home the...

    Checkatrade - time to own up

    Completely agree. Like I said last night l, all I have ever seen is relegation and disappointment, so to have something to celebrate, something to get excited about and to be proud of would be a fantastic feeling. Yes it's not a prestigious cup, but what else are we realistically going to win...

    Match Thread Coventry v Brighton U21 Match Thread - Tuesday 10th Jan

    All I've ever seen is relegation and disappointment. I dont know what I'd do if we made it to Wembley and I actually had something to celebrate.

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    Strong rumours that an offer has been accepted, so whatever we wanted for him they must have matched. Shame to see him go at such a young age. He is the sort of player you can build a team around, especially over the next few seasons. Alas, we are a L1 club and that's the reality of our...

    Kevin Foley

    1) That was the first time I mentioned TM post departure. 2) I already made my point about Foley earlier in the thread. 3) Any response to the point I raised? So a pretty poor post from you really. You're usually ok as well.

    Kevin Foley

    To counter that; he only had two summers. One could be deemed a success, one an absolute failure. If you include the third window he was involved in (last January), his record is appealing. ANDRE FUCKING WRIGHT!!!!!

    Taylor Moore set to sign for Coventry?

    I haven't heard anything, but weirdly enough (and especially frustrating considering I support them!) getting anything from inside Coventry is tricky, so there may be something going on internally that hasn't made it to the wider football community yet.

    Taylor Moore set to sign for Coventry?

    No, I was talking about Moore. Latest on Willis was that that there's no truth in the Bristol rumour. Nothing else worth sharing. Everyone knows the Stevenson offer is genuine and conversations are on going. The Marcus Browne thing is looking unlikely, at least to sign with us.

    Taylor Moore set to sign for Coventry?

    Hate sounding like a dick, but I can't say. I only use "sources" when I have to (usually when I get excited about potential signings) so I can't betray any. He will be in L1 but just not at Cov.** **Disclaimer: unless anything changes while he's on the M6 North....

    Taylor Moore set to sign for Coventry?

    It's not happening. Guaranteed. Re Willis, as I said the other day the rumours are not coming from Bristol.

    Kevin Foley

    Great signing. He may not pull up any trees but will add experience, stability and consistency to a deference that is in need of all three. Foley Clarke Turnbull Stokes That's a pretty strong defence. I've always liked and defended Turnbull and with experienced and positionally sound players...

    11 million pound signing

    He has bags and bags of potential. Not sure how he can be criticised. Fantastic technique, if he bulks out, plays alongside experienced leaders, while also gaining more playing time himself, he will definitely be a PL CB in a few years.

    Paul Telfer

    Isn't Andy Rose a reincarnation of him? Lots of energy and fitness, but limited technical ability. That's not a criticism by the way, I think they both add to the team, especially if playing a certain way.
