    Match Thread Bradford City vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 23rd Oct

    Some interesting stats... a draws on the cards for me. Coventry have won just one of their 15 away league games against Bradford (D5 L9), a 3-1 win in September 1959. Bradford have taken just four points from their last possible 30 in League One (W1 D1 L8), conceding at least two goals in...

    Ha ha... [emoji106] wanted is not quite the right wording but I seen the potential benefit at the time, but the bigger question is why did suggest the possibility of cashing in on him? Was a few factors at the time the suggestion I put forward... twice I might add I did so. Another like Lee...

    FA Cup Draw tonight - who do you want ?

    Your right, cup weekend I always recall being the 1st weekend of the month. Same rules apply as the landlords seem to be playing on the Sunday on another google check Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    FA Cup Draw tonight - who do you want ?

    Should we be drawn at home it won’t be a Sunday game, the landlords are using the stadium v Northampton saints on Sunday 4th November. Last year we played too many Sunday 2pm games in the early cup rounds Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    FA Cup Draw tonight - who do you want ?

    Chesterfield away tops my list as it’s a favourite or Crewe too. Failing that a easy home passage to the next round like last season to be in the hat for the 3rd round. Hopefully be a Saturday 3pm and not a 2pm on a Sunday. On a side point what the availability of the Ricoh pitch that...

    Law of being a city fan says it will be a frustrating evening, tho it be a wonderful haul of points should we get another win and a 3rd consecutive away win at that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Player of the season so far?

    Player of the season so far for me I’d have to go with Lee Burge. The spell in L2 has done him the world of good, it was like a season long loan spell that his career has needed for a few years with the backing of his manager weekly in a tight group of players believing in each other’s ability...

    Tom Davies

    From day one I’ve been fan of this fella and backed him to be what we’re seeing of him this year, he epitomizes everything about what I want from a player in sky blue. He gives everything and more every time he walks out. A character in the dressing room and a leader on the pitch too. Sent...

    Been without a club since the end of August so will take a few weeks to get up to speed and at 34 is he really any better than what we have on the books already. Must be a reason why he’s not got a deal over the last 2 months, better to steer clear. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 20th Oct

    0-0 at half time looks a banker this week on the half time coupon. Not confident on the result mind. Back to back wins is usually a pleasant surprise, 3 on the bounce is wonderland and talk of play offs is on people’s lips. Micky Doyle was in the last side victorious at Roots Hall if anyone...

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 20th Oct

    Correct, only stat that’s needed is the one at full time. Only have to look at the stats on the England game last night to see it’s not all hinged on possession, shots on/off target and corners. Naturally they give a indication to a performance but it’s the score that’s the important stat for...

    Let’s hope so.... Initially I’d go with Andreu, it’s a position he’s played regular before in Scotland so can play in positions other that the “10” role we associate him to be considered for. Thompson has shown a good level of maturity and looks a athlete in the mound of Willis but is very...

    Good thinking but with only Willis, Davies and Hyam your only 3 senior names in the squad I’d not have all 3 in the side at once. Other better options are available Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Evolving team

    I think Bayliss is a victim of playing a lot of football over the last 10/11 months with no real summer break either. I think a break will rejuvenate him as a player who will naturally come back fresher and sharper. I think that’s the current issue is getting a player between Kelly, Ogogo and...

    Some good points, personally I’d like to try Andreu and Doyle together as Bayliss needs dropping. I really think that could work in home games in a 442, only draw back is it’s not a pair blessed with pace so you’d need that in your wide players with Thomas and JJ when fit and available. A big...

    Coventry vs Wycombe - player ratings

    Just the way I looked at it, tho from the reports coming through it seems he’s quite advanced forward still by the amount of action he seems to be involved in. For me I’d like to see him playing in a deeper central midfield role. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Coventry vs Wycombe - player ratings

    Set pieces are poor throughout the side, we’ve very limited numbers who could take responsibility with them. Was the same last year with JJ on corners, they were shocking. Kelly was marginally better but not great the same with Shipley. Even Connor Chaplins effort with the free kick was hitting...

    Expectations Poll

    For me we’re on track to where we should be, the back 5 are looking relatively solid in comparison to what we’ve seen in others and have a understanding of each other. Midfield needs minor fine tuning and consistency with the strikers too being slightly more clinical with chances. I’d like more...
