    Next season's team (in the championship)

    We've gone from 'taxi for Robins' to 'who is good enough for the Championship now we're nailed on L1 Champions' in less than 2 months. The wonders of following the City. In terms of evolving the team, as others have pointed out this is a key strength of Robins. His track record year over year...

    Ipswich trouble

    Mate. Most clubs I'm sure have some morons who think it's ok to ruin a day out for others through anti-social behaviour and complete disrespect for others. I get that. But surely you're not defending or condoning the morons in our support who do this on the basis 'that other clubs have similar...

    Away record

    And on a different point, I don't think our form over the last 4 weeks has been as impressive as some of the earlier performances where we absolutely played teams off the park with our passing game - only to draw. Some of the most pleasing football I've seen CCFC ever play. But we have of late...

    Away record

    I think that's right Mucca. The only thing I would say to give a slightly different view is that pre-season we were most excited about Jobello, Kast and Allen. For different reasons only Allen has featured and he's only been a regular in the side since late January. Jones also a huge loss...

    Match Thread Ipswich v Coventry Match Thread

    It's a great feeling to walk away from Portman Rd with such an important result in the bag. It was a loss at Ipswich in the Prem relegation season which pretty much sealed our fate all those years ago....... Onwards and upwards - this season is amazing!!

    Biggest achievement, 87 Cup win or promotion ?

    Getting promoted to the Championship this season in the context of where we were when Robins came back and without a significant injection of money, and playing our home games away......to me it would be one of the biggest achievements in the history of our club. The Cup was amazing and very...

    Biggest achievement, 87 Cup win or promotion ?

    Great post. When we get promoted this will mean far more to me - and I was 16 when we won the Cup. When Robins came back we were in freefall. This season has been sensational!!

    Ex Player Watch

    I see Dujon Sterling has only made 8 appearances for Wigan. Not sure if injury related or not. Now if Dujon could incorporate some of Dabo’s assertiveness and confidence into his own game - he’d be a real force.

    Isn’t a great feeling

    Made me laugh out loud - outstanding on many levels! Now picturing Robins and Joy in the back and quickly trying to delete that terrible image from my mind.

    Sunderland ratings

    I hear what you are saying Torch. On Kelly though I think it’s fairly common knowledge now that he’s been playing through an injury. So I’d personally give him a 10 for being out there and giving everything for the benefit of the team. He’s playing in one of the most demanding positions in our...

    U23 v Charlton today

    So interesting to see that squad. Pre-season I would have expected to see Mason, Hiwula and Kastaneer as likely first team starters. Possibly Wakefield featuring off the bench. And Jones being called into action to rescue our season. (I’m glad JJ is being given plenty of time to get back to...

    Isn’t a great feeling

    I’m probably one of the most optimistic City fans out there - been called on that many times! But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this position in August. By mid September I could see that something special was beginning to build but even then top of the league seemed too optimistic...

    Isn’t a great feeling

    I don’t ever remember us being top of any League barring a few early season wins. That’s after supporting the club for 40 years. This season is totally unreal and no one could have predicted this at the start of the season. Amazing job by Robins and his coaching team.

    Sunderland fans crying "again"

    I agree with all of this - for once! I’m from Cov and always proud to say that - but equally it doesn’t really give me bragging rights to look down on any other place. And this constant derision of Sunderland is very tiring and serves no purpose. And equally I’m reluctant to take my young...

    Reading 50,000+ posts from Grendel? Or 24 hours of Terry and June which really is the final thing I'd ever watch? I'll take Terry and June thanks.

    Thanks for proving my point Grendel. Repeat misinformation about people often enough to discredit that person if they don't agree with you vs. engaging in a rational and fact based debate. We see this type of extreme narcissism globally in our very damaged politics today so it's not so...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Seems to be a relatively new thing on SBT. Randomly calling people weirdos in an attempt to discredit that person and insult. A technique usually employed by extreme narcissists to discredit others they don't agree with. SBT would be far better without this kind of thing. As someone else has...

    Match Thread Rochdale vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Feb

    I thought McCallum was very good today after a few variable performances. Dabo and MCallum are vital in our set up.
