    The clock is ticking again Robins...

    When the extent of Jones’ injury at Stevenage was announced, I thought it could be a real hammer blow to our season, particularly following on from that of Andreu. If you had told me at that stage that we would also lose Nazon at Christmas, I would have said we had no chance of promotion...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Stevenage Match Thread - Friday 20th Apr

    Maybe he thinks that because of the “Oles” that were being shouted after each pass? I agree with you though, frustrating when if we had played as we did in the first half we could have got another couple of, what might be, valuable goals. Robins said as much after the game.

    Ticket offer still on

    True, but it was also arguably the worst home performance of the season. From the time that Accrington scored their early goal the team did nothing to get the crowd going.

    Ticket offer still on

    The atmosphere was great on Friday. Another night game with an extra 5 or 6 k with a good away contingent should ramp it up even more. An early goal again from us would help too.

    Ticket offer still on

    I think most season ticket holders would sooner see the stadium full. As a ST holder I would be happy for them to put on any offer that would get more bums on seats.

    Stevenage (h) - TLS Report

    Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but I have never felt any of these blogs are pompous. I think they are funny and entertaining. I don’t always agree with everything that is said in terms of views on the players or the manager but that is fair enough.

    We did tell him he didn’t miss much!

    As mentioned above, not my experience at Bury.

    Admission to the Ricoh.

    My son came around the house for his tea tonight. He works evenings and weekends so it is hard for him to get to many games. He was telling me that he tried to get into last night’s game.He finished work early so he thought he would get to the Ricoh for the second half. Having parked up he got...

    For your perusal (Stevenage Highlights)

    Not sure how Burge gets any blame for their goal. Totally down to McDonald dwelling too long on the ball. The fixation that some people have with Burge, Haynes and Biamou is sad really. It is almost like they want them to do badly. That wouldn’t be the case would it? Surely not!

    I liked Jacob Murphy and never felt he was a lazy player. However all 4 players you mention did work hard but offered more than just hard work. Biamou is a case in point. Yes he works hard but at this level ( note that I said at this level) I think he is a good footballer. He has a deft touch...

    New Training Ground Update

    Surely the new facility would have to be built before they leave Ryton. The sale of Ryton with say an “interim” move to join the academy at the Higgs Centre until the new training ground is built would certainly sound alarm bells.

    Nearest free on-street parking for the Ricoh?

    If you do park in the Tesco car park you definitely need to get the £50 receipt. I’ve parked there twice this season and got a parking notice on both occasions. Once you send them a photo of the receipt they drop their attempted fine.

    Tonight’s games

    Having watched the two games against Luton, I thought we were the better team in both games. We should have beaten them at the Ricoh. You can say the league table doesn’t lie and to an extent I would agree. However, I feel a mixture of bad luck (injuries to key players, Jones, Andreu, Kelly...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Crawley Town Match Thread - Saturday 14th Apr

    I thought that after the first 20 minutes or so we managed the game pretty well (one chance for Crawley in the second half that they really should have taken). As the game wore on I felt we were more and more on top and for the ten minutes before we scored the second had really started to turn...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 7th Apr

    Two things that really annoy me with regard to referees this season. The first is throw ins that are taken some times ten yards further up the pitch than the referee has indicated. This is particularly true if the ball has gone out near the corner flag. The resultant throw often leaves the...
