    Coventry vs Notts County - Match Thread

    Two big men up front and we are incapable of crossing the ball. Barton and Madine are the better sky blue performers thus far.

    Nouble v Clarke v McGoldrick

    As I outlined without the ratings thread, I am not sure Noble deserves the hero worshipping he provokes from some supporters. He scored a fantastic goal last night, but he needed it, if he had not I imagine he would have received the same post match criticism from SP. He was incredibly lazy...

    RATINGS - anyone ??

    Allsop - 7 - The most confident, and by no coincidence, the best I have seen him play. He caught crosses, was in constant (at least more than previous games...) communication with his defenders and made a great save in the second half following a header from point blank range. Phillips - 6.5 -...

    Average night. I thought it was a very poor show for all the players to leave as soon as the entertainment (an average to poor comedian) finished. If I had paid £50 I would be very dissapointed that as soon as it came to autograph/photo time, arguablely the main event that fans go for, all...

    Jamie Paterson

    He will never come to us. The set up and the players are not for him. However if that changes and some of the current crop leave that may change things slightly. In general though if he leaves Walsall it will be to go to a team in the league above or a big team in our league that's...

    ratings vs hartlepool

    Murphy - 8 - still unfairly critised by some. At times today he didn't release the ball 'quickly enough' as there was no realistic options to release it too, plus we were winning so no need for high tempo from the keeper. Distribution today not as accuraed as usual. Christie - 7 - offers a...

    Match Thread? Anyone going up?

    Cheers, although I would have been more thankful if you told me we had a striker upfront who provided any form of movement/passing option!

    If SISU did leave......

    And (are expected to) pay an enormous rent figure?

    If SISU did leave......

    There have been a few that have alluded to investors buying the club is SISU left, but that is a fairly big assumption to make. How many times have we been close (or at least thought we were) to administration or something similar, a time when a potential investor may start sniffing and we have...

    If SISU did leave......

    Coundon I don't think you can be that general - each case would be different. For example how many other clubs do you know that own 0% of the stadium they pay them home games in.

    If SISU did leave......

    It is clear from reading through the various threads that opinions on SISU are generally polar opposite, with the exception of a few trying to offer a balanced viewpoint. It appears one question has not been properly addressed yet; I ask this completely objectively, and as a genuine...

    What have I missed.......

    Does sound like a pretty familiar pre season with the tiny bit of hope emerging, usually it lasts till at least a few games into the season though. I guess the thorn debate has carried over from last season then. Rumors of any more transfers in or out? All the hope and rumors of SISU...

    What have I missed.......

    Results wise sounds pretty terrible then. Signings wise not as bad as I feared; firstly because we have actually signed people and secondly one or two of those players are solid enough for league one. Players we have lost is expected yet still depressing to read. Our centre back pairing...

    What have I missed.......

    Hello All, the purpose of this thread is pretty much summed up in the thread title. I have been, and still am, travelling around the world. I left England the weekend before the Southampton game so I've been away nearly 4 months now. As such I have missed all of the news re CCFC and have not...

    Leicester fans in the Coventry end

    I completly agree that away fans should not be in our end, regardless of the opposition. I also completly agree violence is not the solution and should not be advocated. We all have that urge at times in the midst of a high tension match to want to smack a particularly annoying oppostion fan...

    Football Manager Threads?

    I would be very game for this. I too usually take over Coventry but this time I thought I would go for a new challenge; so I took over Nuneaton. Got from the Blue Square Confernce South to the premier league in 6 seasons. Winning the league in each respective division, and after 3 years in the...

    Best ever City Manager

    Jimmy Hill - well before my era but decades on and he still has unamimous fans support - that speaks for itself. The legend of Jimmy Hill is ingrained into any SKy Blue fans upbrining. For my era probably EB purely as we were involved in some entertaining high scoring games.

    citybid £500,000 for le fondre

    Would be a great signing, but as eveyone else has already said I doubt the validility of this rumour. My heart wants it to be true, my head says its not.
