None of us know for sure whether we are stronger or not for the new signings. As fans we automatically give new players the benefit of the doubt believing they are better than those that left, because that is what we want. Last Summer was the same - we were all excited about Sterling, Brown...

Perhaps you would like to buy a Birmingham City season ticket on the weeks we are away? I'm sure they will sell you one for the same price as Blues fans :)

Wasn't that Bakayoko?

There was a supporters club in Rugby back when I was a young teen. I remember Dave Sexton, Harry Roberts & Rudi Kaiser coming to a couple of events, & 3 coaches going to a Cup game at West Brom from the Saracens Head. Hardly been back there since I left, so no idea if there are many Cov fans...

Wow - I hope he plays regularly, as otherwise its a wasted loan for us & the player.

Have you read this thread? The vitriol aimed at him astounds me. He was 'bigged up' by some because he banged in goals left right & centre in our youth teams, & scored some decent poachers goals in our League 2 season too. Yes his all round play has looked limited, but his opportunities have...

I so want to believe that our new signings will tear the arse out of this league, but past experience teaches me to temper that optimism. I get the feeling that our improvement next season is largely going to depend on how Jobello & Kastaneer adapt to league 1. Hopefully they will be a big step...

No fan of Burge, and even thought RCC was better initially, but I don't feel comfortable with some of the vitriol against him here. It was best for us & probably him too that he moves on. Goalkeepers get better as they mature and a fresh start in a new environment could see him yet have a decent...

If we chose to release him at 14 I don't see how we would be entitled to any payment whatsoever.

I've just had a look back to refresh my memory and to a degree you are right. As well as the points deduction, we were basically saved by a good spell after signing Huckerby in December, and a decent finish when Strachan donned his boots and inspired us to some positive and unlikely results...

Wow!! He was a decent player for us at that level, and has more than done his bit for Derby, being their captain since he arrived and a mainstay for every manager they've had from Nigel Clough to Frank Lampard, finishing in or around the play offs every season. He's also twice been their player...

Funny thing is that Forest didn't win another game until January after that game, and ended up going down with a whimper. First day results can often be a pretty poor guide to what will follow.

Great games and great occasions, but Abramovic was already in place and splashing the cash, so those victories were even more laudable.

I think some people read too much into the reasons for our big support at the MK games. In my opinion it had more to do with joining a bandwagon of support and enjoying a good day out, than any protest against our owners, and if the same happens this season it won't be any different. I also...

Completely disagree with those saying that the problem last year was more to do with our lack of creativity. We missed some absolute howlers, when the quality of finishing was as poor as I can ever remember watching.

Pretty sure it was Boateng that said that.

Cov fans love a bandwagon, and if some momentum could be built up like with the MK Dons away game in our Northampton season, maybe we could get a decent crowd, for our first home game at least. It needs to be built up to feel like an event like the Gillingham game when we first returned to the...

If you include the European Cup, Henderson isn't even the first ex Cov player to captain the winning team )

'Again' - not sure I get you. Why would Red Bull be interested in Wasps?

Would they though? The EFL seem quite flexible with their rules when it suits them, if you think about their previous dealings in regard of fit & proper ownership, or us playing within a certain distance from the City Centre. Also in terms of Red Bull (and unlike JH's plan with Talbot), they...
