    Ben Stevenson £513,000

    This £175k fee for loaning JCH is an urban myth though isn't it?

    Playoffs

    We don't know what Accrington team will turn up for their game on Saturday. It would only be natural if they have been partying this week after being promoted on Tuesday. I think we would all fancy our chances in the play offs against a Wycombe team without the beast though.

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

    Jones seems to play on the right as much as the left though, I just don't recall Reid doing likewise. If he's not comfortable playing there he's unlikely to play very well.

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

    I've seen a few people put this idea about playing Reid on the right but I don't recall him ever playing there so it would be quite a risk to start doing so at this point in our season.

    Actual Carl Baker Day - It has happened!

    Always makes me laugh when we get the jibes about fans treating Baker as a legend, when you only have to read this thread to see the bitterness aimed towards him by many. Not met him myself, but my friend was raising money for 'Help the Heroes' and Baker was the one City player that went out of...

    PONTICELLI

    Not sure I agree that JP struggled in the 1st half, I thought he found the new system easier to cope with than McNulty did for instance, but you are certainly right about the visible boost to his game after the 2nd goal. The way he helped close out the game by their corner flag was very...

    Are we going up?

    At any play off game the fans will naturally get behind the team & I really don't see this as an issue. The only time when the fans might get on their back is when all is lost. In a play off scenario I just don't see our fans getting on the teams back if we go a goal down. Also in a bigger crowd...

    PONTICELLI

    He's from Bedworth & went to Nico, as did Camwell. My kids went to the same school & know them both. There isn't a hospital in Bedworth, so that's why he would be shown as born in Nuneaton (George Eliot Hospital).

    Are we going up?

    Sorry but this is bullshit. Plenty of games this season, particularly in the early part of the season & played in front of paltry home crowds, or away games where tickets have been sold only to season ticket holders have had toxic atmospheres, with the regular 'super' supporters turning on the...

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

    There is not much point playing Ponti unless he is up front. I would rather McNulty play right but gonna be interesting as to how exactly we do set up. Does seem a little desperate given we've had all season to have a more attacking approach against sides with an ultra negative approach but...

    Tonight’s games

    Just having looked at Mansfield's remaining fixtures their game today is a huge one. If we had their fixtures many of our fans would be predicting maximum points. Yes they are on a bad run, but a win today could give them an upturn in confidence going into those remaining games, so hopefully...

    Tonight’s games

    74 points should be enough for play offs. Given they have 70 already, I can't see them getting less than 4 points from their remaining games.

    Shit Coventry players

    Spong was signed as a potential superstar on the recommendation of Roland Nilsson & I think played in the 2nd of our consecutive youth cup final appearances in the late 90's. He never made our first team though so don't know what went wrong - injury I would guess.

    Are we going up?

    You've changed since the Yeovil game!! From the depths of despair you're now in your happy place again despite another defeat. Anyhow as of now I think we will finish 7th,but from that point anything can happen. Heart says we get another winning day at Wembley, but head says we will find...

    Final 7 prediction’s.

    Wycombe have quite a tough finish & I can see them losing out on 3rd place. We are too far off now & my gut feeilng is that we will end up 7th. I don't think Notts County have it in them to get 3rd so that leaves Exeter & Lincoln for the last promotion place. Lincoln appear to have momentum...

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

    In terms of gamesmanship just about the worst I've seen this season was Crawley so I fear the worst on Saturday. They were wasting time right from the kick off, with the goalie having to find the right blade of grass to place the ball on for every goal kick, every throw in involving the ball...

    Observations from today...

    In regard to our left back position this season, the fact that both Stokes & Haynes have been poor this season makes it all the more disappointing that Camwell hasn't stepped forward. He had a decent debut in last season's final game and given his reputation before this season of being an...

    Deluded

    With Swindon & Mansfield also slipping recently it looks to me like 74 points will be enough for a play off place, which ought to be achievable, and from then its a lottery. Ponticelli's goal smacked of an instinctive finisher who we might need to make more of before now & the end of the season...

    The most overly disliked players

    I remember this - got a feeling we drew 0-0 with Arsenal. With regard to his previous career with us I don't remember the fans turning on him until his last game he played where we were playing his club, West Ham, and after letting in a soft goal in front of the West End he reacted to the...
