    Huge uphill task for Mowbray next season?

    Don't know or care to be honest, I look around the Concorse and I see an ageing fan base.

    Bassala Sambou

    My betting is he has been tapped up by a bigger club than we are and offered a couple of grand more a week, someone like MK Dons or Burton Albion who are both now bigger than we are ! Sad isn't it.

    Huge uphill task for Mowbray next season?

    I can't see anything at the moment that will attract that many new season ticket holders. Our gates average around the 11000 mark about half being season tickets, almost all you talk too are puzzled almost bitter about our slump and can't understand the seemingly lack of being able to remedy...

    Contracted players. Is it that bad ?

    The gist of this thread is we do have quiet a number with atleast one more year to go on their contract, obviously we need more players and hopefully on contract not loans but we do have a base to work on

    Contracted players. Is it that bad ?

    Lot of doom and gloom talk recently about short contract players and how many could be on their bikes come June leaving our squad in a bit of a state, but is it that bad ? As I see it we have RCC, Stokes, Martin, Willis, Lorenzen, Haynes ? Not sure about Phillips. and then there's Reda Johnson...

    Chris Stokes off to the Championship

    This short contract policy we use costs us more money in the long run than say a 3 year contract. Once a contract is less than 12 months players value drop significantly, the ball is firmly in their agents hands, the player knows who are interested, the proposed wage performances potentially...

    Chris Stokes off to the Championship

    Definitely good enough, but I think he'll stay another season atleast, but if he does stay and sign another contract he will want proper money, he is our best player.

    Bassala Sambou

    We have to accept we are very much a minnow club now, competing with the Rochdales, Scunthorpes and Chesterfields of the division for a mid table position. All clubs will know all the young prodigies of league clubs and if there's one real starlet at Cov or similar club the bigger fish will...

    False Promise

    Graham Paddon came into the team at 18/19 and was doing really well when out of the blue Noel Cantwell flogged him for a measly £25k to Norwich, where he was a star and went on to be the same at West Ham

    Coventry City - Why our season has gone wrong

    Against us none, they don't need to as most of our outfield are camped in our own half. I've not said this before but unless Mowbray changes his tactic then the club needs to look at his position

    Coventry City - Why our season has gone wrong

    It is the way we play. Mowbray sets up 4 across the back 2 normally Vincelot & Fleck in front of the back line, one out and out striker and the other three behind him. Consequently we play most of the time in our half with little outlet forward wise it's no good, results prove it. Hate to talk...

    Mowbray needs to go

    If he doesn't change the way he sets us up to play he will go because his system is no good

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    We need forwards, wide men and tough guys in midfield. We were after that Ben Gladwin but he chose Bristol City if he becomes available I would look at him as a permenant, try and keep Stephens for midfield or defence. Then the forwards, we need two minimum can't rely on our kids they would be...

    Send all loans back now

    If these players we need to try in place of the loan players ask yourself this why aren't in the team now ? Answer perhaps they ain't good enough.

    Make or Break

    What niggles me more than anything is the neglect from the management. It became obvious before the January transfer window even opened we needed another maybe even two strikers, Armstrong was never going carry on with his goal spree and also as a striker he was on his own, players were signed...

    Millwall 16/04

    Also they should give them extra tickets, better having a 1000 or so extra inside the ground than a couple of dozen marauding round the town for 2 hours.

    Millwall 16/04

    Millwall are normally ok, think it kicked off at the Ricoh last time they were here when one of our tough guys at the Wheatsheaf threw a brick through the window of a special bus taking them back to the train station and then retreated inside and barricaded the doors when they got off. My...

    Is Maddison a joker?

    The inclusion of James Maddison since his return from long term injury has not improved us one iota, and he's an apparent £8/9 million player. How Mowbray, supposedly, mega experienced has got himself sucked into this situation is a mystery to me. Since his return Maddison is simply not good...

    Make or Break

    We have to win all our games to give us a chance which included beating 4 of our rivals, not impossible but unlikely, we are not a good team any more, having said that it isn't beyond us to go to Gillingham today and win. Think I'll stick that on my accumulator bet.

    What are Sisu's motives for staying?

    Correct Otis and all those you name would be seen as "senior" players, I think far too much is made of that senior word. Ricketts was okay to start with but at 34+ age has just caught up in my opinion
