The OP is correct. Sammy has been made a scapegoat by some fans and others have jumped on the bandwaggon. OK if you think he has under performed but to allege lack of effort or interest is unfair and insulting. If I were Sammy I wouldn't dream of staying after the shabby treatment some fans...

No chance. Captain Sammy will be in the side. To leave him out of the 16 is unthinkable.

Reckon it will be McSheff, unfortunately.

Those of us of an older vintage have always known that we have as good a chance of survival as the other 3/5 teams down there. Seen City survive many times in worse positions. Still a few twists and turns perhaps but let's agree 1) No room for negativity from the fans 2) We must get behind...

Been through all this. Our league was not formed as the English league. It was, and always will be, one hopes, the Football league. Over a hundred years ago. Time to let it lie

We are having a minute's applause on saturday, too.

Thorn is quite right to point out that we should have had 3-5 goals from the centre backs, as we did when Ward, Turner or Wood were regulars. The point about delivery is only partly responsible as even an unimpressive cross is usually met by someone's head... but our centre backs rarely get...

Watching soccer AM, as embarrassing as reading the Sun. Strictly for the neanderthals.

Michael Doyle does not belong in that list. He was average, at best. Awful in many games. To add to your list you need... David Clements, Brian Borrows, David Burrows, Bobby Parker, Roy Barry.

IF we lose both away games coming up I accept it will be very difficult to stay up, but it will not be over. I will be in the 1% who will not accept relegation until it is certain. With 3 points for a win it will not be over until there are 5 or fewer games left. I hope the players are not as...

CCFC win 1-0. McSheff penalty. King sent off for retaliation. Brum defender sent off with Deegan. 23,424

Can anyone name a midfielder who didn't get constant stick from many fans? Let me start: Dennis Wise. That's probably the one and only. We always overrate defenders and forwards and slag off the midfield.

Just to be clear: I like Keogh. He is a solid, hard working, dependable, heart on the sleeve, salt of the earth type. Every team needs players like him. However, there are other types of players who are flair and skill. Now, ideally you want players with both skill and solid effort. When those...

Stern was quality. Trouble is many of our fans prefer work rate and alleged passion over genuine ability. So they love Keogh, Doyle, Flynn, Deegan... Who all have their place, but I prefer the likes of John, Boozy, Best and Clingan. So sue me.

None of our midfielders are prepared to gamble and run with the ball into the centre, edge of the box. This needs to start happening if we are to score more goals as crossing is mediocre, as are corners, and we lack aerial threat. I want to see AT gamble in the last 20 minutes, like Blackpool...

Colonel, I agree stats make it difficult but the same could be said of most of the bottom 6. They are all in a poor run of form. Basically 3 poor teams will survive. We have every chance of being one of them.

Agree. Pass and move is so simple but we play pass and play statues. Our midfield in possession were very static at times but the forwards were also leaden footed for long periods. We need to sharpen up.

Sammy was good for the 30 odd minutes he played. Some of you lads do the player ratings before the match. Just because you prefer Thomas does not mean you need to find fault where there was none. Sammy moved the ball swiftly and found his man every time, except once when his pass was...

If football followed statistical analysis there would be no point playing AND the bookies would be out of business. The only stats that matter are the results of the next 11 games compared to that of the other 5 or 6 teams down the bottom. Most of the fans on here must be youngsters who didn't...

Staying up.. Never over until it's over. Where's your blitz spirit? Coventry people stayed positive even when the city had the biggest air raid in history. Your forefathers are turning in their graves!
