    One single significant event that shaped our season .......

    Exactly, he just said it as he saw it and it needed saying. Unfortunately his detractors for weeks had been saying he stuck up for the players too much...used this to say he shoul have stuck up for them and protected them. there is a lot wrong with the basic structure of the club and the...

    Sunday Bloody Sunday: Predictions

    yes it is in our own hands, but final season day can be a day of unforeseen drama going on until the last minute of injury time at another game. We need an eleven man performance and City fans to just make the noise even if it doesn't start well.

    TM on his way ??

    I would like Mowbray to stay. However if we go down I cannot see it. Yes he had limited time and had to work with what he inherited....but his remit was to keep us in this division. I do not think this is a top six squad, like some, but it is good enough to stay at this level. So he needs to...

    No news on Pennington

    I would agree with that, although I would probably start with Tudgay instead of Maddison. Let Tudgay run himself into the ground for 60 minutes then put Maddison on to change it slightly.

    Back to the future...

    Yes that would have been classed as a good pitch even into the early 70's. It shows what a long way football and sport in general has come. the highlight is the state of the art office: desk, chair, diary, wire paperwork basket and a phone!

    No news on Pennington

    I don't think he will change too much. We have had a settled side of late and our away form has been good. I think Willis will come back in for Phillips if fit. We will have to wait on Pennington. Barton will be dropped. I can see Tudgay playing just behind our new found German goal scorer...

    City Have Survived 10 Times On Final Day

    Yes, it has tended to be the Coventry way. It is probably why I look older than I am.

    No news on Pennington

    Too big a game to give anything away. They will give him maximum recovery time.

    Coventry for promotion in 15/16?

    I just can't see the nucleus of a good team, I think we need too many players to be automatic promotion candidates. Unless we get back Ward, Pennington and Samuels either on deals or season long loans. we need at least six quality acquisitions: GK, LB, RB, CD, DM, FW and that is a minimum...

    Congrats to Callum Wilson !

    acknowledging Bournemouths achievement, appreciating a good young footballer, being proud of a Coventry kids achievements and being rounded football fans is not as 'embarrassing' as your comment. Well done Callum and Bournemouth good luck for next year.

    Crawley

    Never thought he would be staying.

    Crawley

    Have felt it could end up being a last game decider since about Christmas, never really fancied it away at Crwaley...just had doom and gloom written all over it.

    Sunday Bloody Sunday: Predictions

    I ain't predicting nothing, not going to tempt fate.

    One single significant event that shaped our season .......

    On Saturday the players had the benefit of the third highest home attendance in that division. The average home attendance is still the sixth highest in that league. The players have benefitted from the sixth highest average away following. So despite the dismal season, the bleak future, the...

    Bomb Squad 2015

    Totally agree, we have some players who are useful squad players but now you could say these are core players who we can build a team around. The likes of Nouble, Barton and Fleck might look reasonable on a good day when things are all going our way. But on a bad day none of them are going to...

    Horrible feeling

    Apart from Bristol we have been playing teams around us in the run in. It was like when we were relegated under Thorne we were in a reasonable position with about 10 games to go and imploded. I know Mowbray has improved things and has got us looking more solid. But my criticism is of the...

    Is the Ricoh to big

    I was talking about before they went to Northampton. my facts are right. negotiations are a two way street....you need to re read some of SISU's press statements freely given out by them.

    Lowest average gate since joining Football League

    I am making the point our gates are a division lower against smaller clubs and our performances have been dower...so 10,000 isn't as bad as some make out

    Is the Ricoh to big

    I know it is a discussion about the Ricoh and to suggest it is to blame for poor performance is ridiculous. my desperate answer actually alludes to one of your desperate answers. In recent years we haven't had players with the desire and mentality for winning. They have failed to make it our own.

    If Crawley Score First

    I hope you are right. But there has been plenty of bravado like 4-1 predictions against CREWE and Orient. Bristol was a good performance a very good performance....but it was against a very good team who only needed a draw to be champions and they got exactly what they needed.
