    The actual attendance figure can be no more than 5,500.

    I'm confused, why didn't we show the same appreciation for the dive and applaud it as we did the goal?

    I appreciate that all may well be true, but I don't think it justifies applauding goals scored against the team we support.

    I recognise some were but a lot started immediately after the ball hit the net. I understand the showing of respect for not celebrating, but do it after the game.

    Other general observations: Samuels first touch has been woeful tonight (but at least he is getting into good positions). O'Brien's "work rate" means he is NEVER in his actual position on the wing, causing us to be really narrow. Williams is certainly not a left midfielder and willis...

    Coventry fans clapping McSheffreys goal AGAINST US is one of the more tragic, and bizarre, things I've seen/heard at a football game. Pathetic.

    Will you Clap or

    I always felt McSheffrey was overrated (more so second time round). I always felt Clarke was a truly awful footballer. I always felt Robins was a manager we could progress with. Now they have all left I feel little for them. However despite their faults, you can't deny all three gave their...

    Pick your first 11 (everyone is fit)

    The fact that very few (if any) of us have seen some of the new signings play, yet they are in the majority of people's starting XI's says alout about our current squad. Anyway, if I was in the hot seat I would go with: Jones Phillips Martin Pennington Haynes...

    Ann lucas wins

    Accusations of posters being "plants" are often thrown around on here. I always took them with a pinch of salt, until this thread. I would propose a number of covers have been blown today.

    Jamie Jones

    Ability wise I think he will be fine, fans always have negative views of players that leave. My concern is more his temperament and attitude; he apparently threw a a strop because he was dropped by PNE. Their fans seem to think he has a big ego. Throw him into a changing room with...

    Coventry City boss Steven Pressley tells striker Marcus Tudgay he's staying put

    SP's reign is littered with inconsistencies; from captains to formations to tactics to bomb squads. No wonder the players look clueless every game, the tactics probably change every 5 minutes. He is showing himself more and more to be an indecisive manager, in every aspect of the role. If he...

    Sisu Out Group

    This is embarrassing. If I was inclined to protest, and be led in that protest by an organised group, it would not be this one. I would think a pivotal point in protesting is communication. Clearly a skill the authors of these statements lack. The "group" come across as unorganised and...

    Should pressley be sacked

    I am seldom one to call for the the managers head, preferring to give any manger the benefit of the doubt and time to turn the downward spiral around. The exception is when their position becomes untenable, which usually means the benefit of the doubt card is no longer playable and they have had...

    Swindon Match Thread

    This is tragic, awful negative atmosphere (if any at all), PA system is broken, it's raining,it's cold and most importantly we look genuinely clueless tactically. On paper our strike force should rip teams apart, yet it doesn't. Why? I like JOB for his commitment but does he have any form...

    Breaking Frank Nouble News

    My initial thoughts were, and still are, that this is a sensible deal. Comparsons can be drawn between Nouble and Balotelli; unquestionably both have genuine talent and potential (albeit different scales), but there are big questions regarding their commitment, temprement and laziness. For...

    Fair point, I remember when Hitler, Stalin, Mugabe, Pot and Mao were on the forums, their respective post counts were in the millions.

    Press release

    Twenty four hours on from the apparently provocative press release and we still have no answers, be it short term (plans for the actual event) or long term (objectives, next steps). If this is an illustration of the professionalism of the consortiums interested (and presumably involved in...

    Press release

    Granted there are a lot of questions but I would argue all are relevant, especially those around the actual event itself; timings, cards/signs etc. I am not dismissing the idea as a whole, the situation just seems odd. The protest group rapidly emerged from nowhere, no background, no real...

    Press release

    The idea of a protest voicing our discontent with SISU is a valid one, unfortunately it is somewhat spoilt by the implementation. While Nick may have excessively made the point re timings, it is a fair one. Surely a pivotal factor in an organised protest is ensuring participants know when to...
