    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    once we lost Palmer and then Allen this season, it became route one to Vik. It worked pretty well(certainly away from home), but the continuing partnership of Godden / Vik was always worrying. It never has worked. I thought Palmer looked sharp when he came on but faded quickly. That was it. We...

    The Luxury of a Big Squad

    A big squad means lots of players unhappy they are not playing, therefore harder to build the spirit and closeness in the dressing room. I am sure all our issues at the start of the season along with the double injury to O'Hare (from all accounts very popular with the team) helped us in a...

    Viveash New Contract

    You can tell from the interviews with Viveash that he's a charismatic, likeable bloke, but also won't take any sh*t. Some of our football since he has come in has been brilliant, and he can adapt when we need results, and change to a more direct game. I am sure the players enjoy his training...

    Anyone else's sleep fucked?

    Walker, Rose or McGuire? Got a feeling Palmer will be on the bench tomorrow. Great player to have on the bench even if he isn't fit.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    If we don't win, we won't definitely lose Hamer. Vik probably though. No guarantee if we went up they would stay either though. Either way, Robins has a re-build project from May 28th. If we are still in The Championship, I fully expect he will add some good signings, to complement what will...

    First city game

    Yeah remember that game. David Smith was tripped in the box in the 2nd half and we equalised with a penalty. They dumped us out of the cup in the replay, which was one of the worst City performances I'd ever seen. The dark days of Terry Butcher & Don Howe

    First city game

    City v Oxford Utd - April 1988. Mark Lawrenson had recently become the Oxford manager (his first job) to try and save them from relegation. Bit of a dour game, but Big Cyrille rose highest from a late free kick to power home a header. 1-0 City. Always remember my Dad's disappointment about not...

    Premier League thread

    Man City. What a bore. They had the money to build a new stadium, recruit one of the best managers in the world, and a blank chequebook. No player wants to leave City as they won't get paid more any where else. I know Football can never really be a level playing field but their dominance has...

    Just how much did our shocking start cost us this season

    If we go up - a sneaky move to bring Hyam back? We need at least 3 centre halves in the summer (presuming McNally will be joining us)

    Transfer targets

    I’d keep Godden if we went up. He’s a classy finisher and see no reason why he wouldn’t score goals a division higher. He’s been doing a job for the team these last few weeks, what with our injuries to key attacking midfielders. Walker will go as will McGuire. If we went up I would be happy...

    Still pinching myself

    I think so too. Everyone is expecting a 0-0 but I have a feeling we’ll destroy them. 3-0

    Marks mind games

    Surely Carrick would of known that we sometimes play with a 5 / Box midfield, and away from home in a massive game we might switch to that. Robins started the season with 2 up front but mainly because Palmer wasn't match fit and O'Hare was injured. He was forced back to that once O'Hare, Palmer...

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    I would think by next Saturday Palmer will be back in contention (albeit lack of match fitness). It should give us something different on the bench, as I am sure Robins would rather not have to use McGuire & Walker. Will be interesting to see how they set up for this one. Luton will not try...

    Or alternatively 2 tickets (next to each other)

    I am looking for one ticket for the game

    Luke Mcnally

    If we were to go up I'd try to sign Cuffy, Doyle, Panzo and McNally on permanent deals.

    Luke Mcnally

    He wouldn't of said that if he was intending just to go back to Burnley in the summer. Think we have a pre-agreed deal all done there.

    Bidwell

    That look he gave the Boro winger when he was pushed over after winning the ball. Just a look was all it took and the Boro player was sh*tting it

    Robins new contract - 4 years

    Players enjoy playing for Robins. Ferguson and Clough weren't tracksuit managers, and nor is MR, but clearly the progressive coaching of Viveash and MR's man management has turned into something very special. I remember when we beat Rotherham 2 years back in a relegation 6 pointer. Ryan Giles...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Play off Semi final 2nd leg Match Thread - Wednesday 17th May

    We are good away from home, or certainly have been since October / November. Vik and Gus should get more space as the emphasis will be on Boro to go forward. I really hope Palmer makes the bench. If we're chasing a goal he will be a perfect player to bring on. Need to start well as we don't...
