It's strange, people were raving about their rise up the leagues but they have been backed by a Russian oil tycoon! They're the modern day Portsmouth, backed to get up to the PL but small ground, awful fan base and are a league one club at best (A bit harsh on Pompey I know). It's a nice town...

MASSIVE ask but win this one and beat Rotherham and you're very close to being safe, I'd argue you'd only need another point from the remaining 5 games left.

We don't have enough to stay up, Shipley is one of the worst players at this level and shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11. Hamer spends game fouling and pinging it around like Beckham but without the quality, McCallum clearly not good enough (Norwich worked this out and shipped him...

The more I see us at this level, the more I question if Robins is up to it... it's been like this now for many games, not improving and very predictable.

To clarify - "On 7 August 2018, Bakayoko joined League One side Coventry City for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-year deal" and... Chris Badlan joined the Sky Blues as Head of Recruitment at the start of May 2018. As a said, another from the Badlan team...

'did a job' is being very kind... still poor recruitment (Robins takes some responsibility) when you factor in our supposed model of buying/developing players, we basically wasted a decent transfer fee on Baka who will walk away for free at the end of the season. I'm sure he's a lovely guy...

DaCosta is another poor 'find' from Badlan, add it to the list... Kasta, Jobello, Bakayoko, Hilssner... really starting to wonder about the recruitment, I don't think Robins is that impressed either to be honest, although he should take responsibility. Marosi for me, Wilson is just prone to a...

I said on here after the Derby win that if we could pick up some points from Rotherham, Luton and Wycombe games then we will be in good shape, we picked up 1, albeit with only 2 of those games going ahead. What is more worrying for me is that all I hear is how "Coventry play good football" and...

I'd love a win here, it would set us up nicely for Wycombe game and with pretty much all results being kind to us over the weekend, would give us some breathing space. Having said that, a point one be decent and we go from there... as long as we keep picking up points and not losing we'll be ok.

Not sure what this has to do with him being finished, he's back in light training, he's been incredibly unlucky with injuries and I hope he can still come back and play at some sort of level, if not at Cov then at a good club in the football league.

Pulis yet to win a game as manager of Sheffield Wednesday... so I'm saying 1-0 defeat for Cov.

The whole system in the UK is a joke, replacing lockdown with lockdown for 80% of the country. I live in Copenhagen and it's a big city but the restrictions are nowhere as strict here. The blow back in 2021, economically is going to be huge and feel we will be looking back and saying "what the...

The shops are fine here, people are not in same state of panic BUT I did stock up on the Carslberg just in case :angelic:

I live in Copenhagen, yesterday they took the step to partially shut down things (schools, Uni's, people told to work from home, etc). They have around the same situation in terms of numbers as the UK. I do not know why the UK seem to be so slow on the uptake and quite frankly why Cheltenham is...

I think the occasion itself would just be such a great lift for everyone and a chance for everyone at the club to come together, especially as it's FA Cup as well.

... we beat Blues in the FA Cup next round, we then draw a top club at home (Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, etc) and we agree return to the Ricoh for that game! It would be a romantic story and a hell of a party!! Here's to dreaming anyway haha.

Not sure if it's been said but Neil Back's son, Fin recently signed a pro deal with Nott'm Forest.

For those who like a podcast, there is a really good 90's football podcast called 'Quickly Kevin, will he score?' It's a few comedians (one of which is Josh Widdicombe) who basically talk about football in the 90's and it's really good, very niche but great nostalgia (I'm 33 so it's my...

This is a question that I have often pondered.... I think i'd do the following: - Buy the Football Club (Golden Share) from SISU - I'd then give it to the fans to run and have full control over, my stake would be something like 20% - I'd buy the Ricoh Arena, negotiate with new sponsors so the...

It's a strange one isn't it... the lower down you go the more likely it is for youngsters to get a chance to break through, this obviously then reflects really well on the academy. You go higher and less players break through and nobody talks about the academy so much.... does Wigan's academy...
