    Match Thread Coventry v Swindon Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    To be fair I rate Turnbull. Nobody would look good playing in the back four he played in at the beginning of the season. He will only improve in my view. Burge and Haynes however, will always be shit (unless Haynes is used as a winger in which case he may come good).

    Match Thread Coventry v Swindon Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    I'm on holiday in snowy Norway so missing another game which is rather annoying, although my ST is being used which is positive compared to previous attempts to give it away! I'm going for 2-1, Thomas and Thomas. If we win them some positivity returns, if not then it further cements the view...

    Mowbray

    Good luck to him, he's lost his way in the end with us; both tactically and with his transfer policy, but he at least left with dignity and seemed to genuinely want to do well for us. Also gave us the most existing first half to a season I've witnessed. Just a shame he completely messed up the...

    Yep - I have done the same with mine and my dads ST's, but I'm sure there's some individuals within that section who don't know any ST holders and it would be a shame for them to miss out.

    Next Seasons Manager?

    When he was first appointed, on paper Slade seemed the perfect choice; experienced manager, knowledge of lower leagues and history of saving teams in our position. However, he appears absolutely tactically clueless. Long ball football (and that's being generous), to minute strikers and ultra...

    32,000 sold already

    Bit late to the debate but I think it's justified ST holders are allocated extra tickets, while it doesn't mean we are "super fans" or anything of the sort, it does mean we have continued to actively support the team and pay for the privilege of doing so. Saying that, I do think six is too many...

    Match Thread Coventry v Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 18th Feb

    I don't enjoy being so critical of a manager, especially after a relatively short space of time, but once again that selection is bonkers. He's clueless. I'm on holiday this week, so I'm missing two games, and for the first time I'm not that bothered either. I hate watching shit, tactically...

    Kieran Richardson

    I never rated him, he was always over hyped in my view However at our level im sure he's good enough. Plus, it's better than playing a CB at LB. Him and Yak are strange signings as it is too little too late, I wonder if RS had half an eye on next season i.e. get a few experienced pros in now...

    Match Thread AFC Wim'don v Coventry Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Feb

    How many times are we going to concede last minute??!! Absolute joke. Points to a real lack of mental strength and character. I think Slade is a backwards and tactically clueless manager, but you can't apportion the blame for that solely on him.

    Heard your fans want Bradley Lowery to lead you out at Wembley . . .

    It's a great idea, but it would be great to have some Coventry children in the same unfortunate situation also represented. I like the idea of fans from other teams potentially being represented (#cancerhasnocolours) and/or lots of mascots in similar situations from Coventry. It's bonkers to...

    Block paving or potentially gravel?

    New House

    Does anyone have any recent experience of converting a front garden into a drive? Both in terms of recommendations and pricing? I know the latter is difficult without dimensions, but I don't have them to hand - roughly I'd say 4mx4m.

    Relocating to Coventry - advice welcome!

    Examples like this really are all that is wrong with the UK system, although I'm sure a lot of other countries have similar situations. Again, this sort of situation gives a really bad name and impression of people receiving benefits or living in social housing, when actually there are...

    Half and half scarves

    Could be, but the intention was that those words apply to both sides i.e. SISU and the Council. If it was describing the fans stuck in the middle it could say 'loyal/passionate' although the twats bit might still apply - who knows why we all still care and support the mess of a club!

    Half and half scarves

    One half could say "SISU", the other could say "Council" - in the middle it could say twats/traitors/out etc?

    New House

    We are looking to add an extension to the back of the house and install a new kitchen diner. We have one or two builders in mind, but you can never get too many quotes/opinions, so always open to options.

    Checkatrade Final Rant

    I don't think anyone is necessary disagreeing with your final sentiment i.e. maximum number of supporters possible, but the key word is supporters. The amount of idiots I know who have ridiculed me for still going, stil having a season ticket, still doing various things linked to the club, who...

    Transfer Rumour Carlton Cole

    I'd welcome the signing. He might be older and potentially lacking some fitness, but he's experienced and an actual target man! Maybe we won't lose possession from our own throw/goal kick anymore! Him and Yakubu will also give the players a boost, both from an experience and status...
