    Crowd on Saturday

    I wonder how many Coventry fans have been to see the team this season ranging from those who attend every game to those who have attended only once. You would think that with things hotting up that if they have been to any other game this season then, if they were able, they would get to the...

    City Promotion wreckers!

    If Jimmy is there I would hope he would have nothing to do with someone like Thatcher (Can’t believe that she would get there anyway).

    Sunderland (Away)

    So long as they beat Doncaster I don’t care after that (unless they play Blackpool or Peterborough).

    Presumably when Robin’s agreed to let JCH go he would have known that the only like for like replacement was Bakayoko. Seems more planned than he is being given credit for.

    I think if Jones has stayed fit last season we would have finished higher than 6th.

    How many managers have we had since relegation from the PL? How many since relegation to League One? Apart from Eric Black and briefly Mowbray, we have had no success. We have been on a downward spiral. Robins is the first manager to have a sustained period of success. The fact we were in...

    It’s a bit pedantic to go on about it I know, but labelling him “Craplin” does seem to be personal and to be holding him in contempt. No problem with legitimate criticism. To write him off at 21 after half a season seems harsh. You say that Robin’s “stubbornness” is a fault. As mentioned above...

    Luke Thomas, who I have really enjoyed watching this season and who I think has the chances to be a top player, has missed far more. Do we call him names too? Granted the overall contribution of Thomas has been more than that of Chaplin but Chaplin has still contributed to the team. He has...

    I’ve watched Swindon a few times this season including watching us play Luton on the Sunday having watched them play Grimsby on the Saturday. This league is miles better than the fourth division in my opinion. The players are far more comfortable on the ball with much more emphasis on keeping...

    His management across the sequence of the season got us promoted. I would think that that is the sequence that counted. Last season, as with this season, I felt in many games we were by far the better team (Cambridge away for example) where the results simply did not match the performances. We...

    I also don’t understand the ”Craplin” tag you continue to give one of our players, this season’s “Mc Numpty”?Whatever people think of him as a player, most who are fair minded would agree that he always gives 100%. He is a 21 year old living away from home for the first time but is apparently...

    Still no credit for Robin’s then. You felt we were lucky to be promoted last season? In a harder league we are 25 places higher than we were last season. We are winning games with Shipley (central midfielder) playing on the wing and Hiwula (striker) also playing on the wing. However, Robins has...

    Time to take back control

    I like the idea. I just don’t think the Ricoh is too big. A successful Championship side would get 25k plus attendances. If we were in the top flight you would hope we would get gates similar to Leicester. Too big at the moment though.

    1987 FA Cup memories - Cov City v Sheffield Wednesday

    Yes. I remember that. Police horses stopping anyone moving forward and more and more of the crowd leaving the stadium behind. It was scary at the time but the thought was always there that these people know what they are doing so no real reason to worry. Hillsborough changed all of that.

    SISU Statement - Article From Sky Sports

    I’d agree with this but for that to happen surely Sisu have to give up on the legal action.
