    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 29th Dec

    The first goal for Swansea looked like Allen dawdling on the ball, rather than clearing it. Thomas should have headed the ball wide rather than down the middle before the free kick. Collins positioning for the free kick & he seems to have a nasty habit of spilling the ball. We looked the...

    Worst fan you’ve ever sat near

    I had the misfortune to sit near a bloke who repeated "go forwards" all the time at Wembley. He started to moan at Vik for passing it across to Hamer......until he scored!

    No football in turkey for a while after the referee being assaulted, Haji must be wanting a break from football! ;)

    Match Thread Coventry City - Southampton Match Thread - Wednesday 13th Dec

    Smallbone was class against us last season for Stoke. However, on Saturday he was a substitute and came on in the 87th minute. Their midfield must be good for him not to be starting OR their manager is missing something?

    Transfer targets

    Regarding the comments that COH doesn’t fit the system. It wasn’t long ago that some were criticising MR for not having a plan B . Potentially, we now can adjust to a back 3 with wing backs etc , if our current system isn’t working against certain teams.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The evidence being highlighted in the enquiry demonstrates the PM's lack of care and intelligence to grasp the scope of elements to be considered. It seems to me that focus was on economy first, without realising that late lockdowns led to increased economic damage. Old people are dispensable...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I had expected a far better return from Simms & Wright by this time. However, I'm left wondering if the system we are playing doesn't fit with the players. Playing two up front with Godden + Simms/Wright just doesn't seem to work. They're is little linkage play between them and aimless long...

    Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Oct

    If in a couple of weeks we have Allen, O'Hare & Palmer at full fitness. Will we see MR return to the box formation with Simms as the only striker in some matches?

    Birmingham

    In identifying a successful coach rational clubs take into account previous performances. Obviously, in Birmingham's case they ignored data and decided they liked the name Rooney!

    Ridiculous decision making by Eccles. Why faff around with it inside our box? Just clear it!

    Atmosphere

    Are you suggesting that we have to commission someone to write totally new songs for the club? There was a song written specifically for us by that bloke from King (if my memory serves me correctly) …. And that was a dreary song. It didn’t help that it was our first season after relegation from...

    Atmosphere

    At least the sky blue song is specific to our club. Most of our other songs are redrafted from generic football songs

    Top 100 Cov players of all time

    I appreciate that this one persons opinion, which they are entitled to. However, to compare players from league 2 with players from our premier league/L1 era is daft. Ian Gibson not being included is bizarre and when you consider numerous players who played at international level are ranked...

    International duty

    The match for Jamaica is at 1.00 local time, so 6 pm Uk on Wednesday. Additionally the USA are playing at 1.30 local time on the same day, so Hagi is affected. I would expect all 3 to be on the bench. I hope the USA match is in the east of the country rather than west coast, due to time...

    Transfer targets

    I'm guessing that MR will be pressing the scouting and recruitment team to identify a CM player for the january window. Probably from Europe.

    I've been a critic of him in the past. He had a decent performance on Saturday, but it was an easy game to ref.

    Chief Operating Officer

    Given that King is acting as Executive Chair, which inevitably means many elements of a CEO's job role and now the recruitment of a COO. Then I would presume that DB's job will be made redundant.
