Isn't it one player in and two out since he made the lottery comment?

I think you are both being harsh on Baker. I don't see him as a Coventry legend or anything like that. Compared to the players we had in the top flight days he wouldn't compare favourably. In the Champion ship he was very hit and miss, maybe one good game in five. However, in League One I...

As mentioned above, a very large percentage of those 33 will not feature this year. They are names in the squad but to all intents and purposes they might as well not be there for all the first team game time they are likely to get, particularly in the league.

Unfortunately you could say the same about the FA Cup. Clubs in both top divisions disrespecting it. The question has to be if you can't be bothered trying to win and get to the next round then why take part?

Just had s look at the squad on the back of the Newport programme. We have a squad of 33 players, 4 of which are goalkeepers. Thirteen of the squad have either never played a first team game or played only once or twice. We then have other players such as Biamou, Stevenson, Dion Kelly Evans...

On the back of the two recent defeats I think we at least need a competitive performance to instil some confidence in team and fans. Losing 3-1 at home to Shrewsbury where they have 80% possession (as Blackburn must have been close to) won't help.

I think he has to be more careful with this game. We were completely out played by Blackburn and I think people could accept this because if the perceived status of the opponents. Shrewsbury are also league One and are doing well this season. However, I think seeing our team completely outplayed...

From his comments about budget yesterday it would seem that this is the squad for the season, no money to bring anyone else in. It is therefore down to Robins to make the most of what he has got. I still don't think we have a real target man option (Biamou off the pace and Thomas out of favour...

Can't believe I am criticising Bill Glazier but he was virtually finished at 30. He left us for Brentford I think and only played a few games before retiring. He was a more exciting keeper to watch than Oggy, but for sheer consistency in the top league, for playing over 600 games and for playing...

I watched him in 3 pre season friendlies, Tamworth where he played really well, Mickleover where he was okay and Nuneaton when I felt he was fairly anonymous, plus tthe twenty minutes against Blackburn when he struggled to make an impression. I would love to be wrong and for him to come in and...

In my opinion Oggy is the best goalkeeper I have seen play for the club, closely followed by Bill Glazier. When there was the pole on here for best players we have had in each position two years ago, he was voted best keeper. He played all of his City games for a top flight team and kept his...

I thought we played well until they scored. After that the performance really fell away. I thought Andreu was playing well and was surprised when he was taken off (just after he nearly equalised).

On the phone in last night they said it was still pay on the gate.

if you think about the studs showing rule, it is hard to see how a player can make a sliding tackle without it being a foul.

Just looked on the Chesterfield site to see what they say but I can't see our game listed.

Two last minute goals!

One of the worst examples of time wasting I saw was at Preston a few years ago and it was by their fans. The ball went out for our throw in, their fans wouldn't throw the ball back (something they did several times) which resulted in Joe Murphy going into the stand to get the ball. Credit to the...

It's the least he should do.

I agree, really noticeable that the players aren't as good.

I logged on to here about 8.30 last night, so a couple of hours after these comments were written. As I was reading through I was sure that someone would challenge the responses to a chap who has just said he hasn't been on here for a while because he has cancer. No one said anything. At that...
