    Tonight’s games

    I watched the second half of the Bournemouth Millwall game. Poor game and really poor performance from Bournemouth. They looked nothing like the team that beat us. Millwall the better team (but still nothing to write home about) and they deserved their point.

    Newport Reminder

    I hope we are back there ASAP for all of the obvious reasons.

    Ex Player Watch

    Got a boot to the head before he conceded. Subbed due to injury I think.

    Robins love in

    Hopefully the Premier League's obsession with foreign managers will mean that MR will be overlooked for the jobs in the league above. Both Robin's reaction and that of Boddy to Sunderland attempt to poach him bodes well for any future approach from clubs in this division or even the one above...

    Item Tommy Hutchison

    Dean Nelson had the tail end of Hutch’s goal at Arsenal on one of his video shows a couple of years ago. London Weekend, at that stage at least, hadn’t released the full clip of his goal.

    Signings Incoming......

    You said; It's bizarre that people continue to push this myth. It's entirely false. For all of his virtues Robins lacks the ability to able to manage the more 'difficult' players long term. I would have assumed a lack of ability to manage a player is actually failing with them? Surely the...

    Signings Incoming......

    I am not sure that MR ‘failed’ with Clarke-Harris. He just maybe saw him as surplus to requirements. While there is no disputing JCH’s scoring record at Bristol Rovers, his performances at Coventry were mostly underwhelming. I don’t think too many supporters were that sorry to see him go. I saw...

    Next 4 league games....

    I watched the extended highlights of Preston against Forest. Just goes to show the vagaries of football as Preston were far more attacking in this game than they were against us. They created numerous opportunities against Forest including hitting the woodwork 2 or 3 times but couldn't score...

    Podcast Jim Brown - Club Historian Special

    I enjoyed listening to this one with Jim Brown. Lots of memories which older fans can relate too. Good to hear his views on managers and on Mark Robins in particular. He feels that Robins is one of our best ever managers, with stats to back that up. Last season we were on course to have our most...

    Liam Kelly

    I thought Kelly was great for us last season and I think he has been one of our best players when he has played this season. He always shows for a pass, he will receive the ball without panicking in tight areas and he is constantly talking and directing. I think we miss him as a player and as a...

    Season Curtailment

    It was suggested that this method be used to sort out our league last season. Of all of the suggestions made to sort out final league positions, this seemed to be the unfairest as it had Bristol Rovers and Ipswich as the two teams to be automatically promoted even though at the time the season...

    Season Curtailment

    The rules discriminate between PL clubs and those in the EFL? Seems to be a really unfair situation.

    Match Thread Preston

    I have to say that I really look forward to all of our matches. Ifollow is nowhere near as good as being there but it still allows me to watch my team. In normal circumstances I would be at Deepdale tonight and would have spent £65-70 on diesel and tickets. The £10 for Ifollow then is a big...

    Season Curtailment

    How have they tried to justify that? Surely Orient will hve raised the matter?

    George Hudson passed away

    I never saw him play for Coventry but he may have played against us for Northampton in the promotion season. He certainly played against us for Tranmere in the Cup the following season. Did he score in the replay?

    Festive fixture memories

    That wasn't the correct scoring sequence for the Norwich match. It was 1-0 2-0 2-1 2-2 2-3 3-3 4-3 4-4 5-4 Sorry to be a pedant!
