    If we sack Thorn who would you have be realistic

    I think Carsley would be decent, leader on the field, played 10+ years in the premier league. He's also done very well with the under 18's. If all else fails just get a Glaswegian, (preferably one with a career in football) those blokes know how to manage football clubs!

    The reason we are bottom is the players

    I can appreciate McPake isn't a classy centre half, but he gets his body in the way, makes some quality challenges and is a leader on the field. I actually think he shows traits of the kind of centre half you want in this division

    If we do get relegated...

    If we go down then where we finish is totally dependent on the clubs finances and who's in charge. If we can balance the books, or even just improve them a little then we will be one of the favourites. We're probably an average championship club, similar to many others, however looking at...

    If we do get relegated...

    I guess it boils down to who's in the boardroom come the summer months

    If we do get relegated...

    Do you think we'll lose Keogh? I'd like to see the manager make him captain, a focal point of the team, make him feel like he's our main man, encourage him to stay...a bit like we did with john hartson...

    If we do get relegated...

    defeatist attitude I know, but based on our current squad who do you see staying and who do you see leaving? As we've been stripped of most of our decent players, I was finding it difficult to decide. I think cranie and clingan are the only dead certs to go. Though I would like to see the...

    The reason we are bottom is the players

    Some of this is utter shit, but in fairness I think a lot of it is very true. McPake, if he returns to our inevitable League 1 plight, may well give us a chance (this all under the unlikely assumption he stays fit). I've seen games that guy has played that have been sensational, give him a run...

    Big changes ahead this week

    Just to comment on the wage bill, having looked at the squads of the clubs that were listed as 'definitely' being less than ours, I question how you know this and the accuracy of that. Donny are using one specific agent to loan in a load of premier league rejects and are paying for it! My main...

    CCFC must leave the Ricoh at least for a while

    Although the idea here is a little far-fetched, I see the thinking behind it. The council are happy with the current arrangement and won't sell to us. If we moved away, the stadium becomes virtually redundant and we force them to make a deal. It sounds very desperate, however are we to be...

    Freshen up for Tuesday?

    Wood is definite pick for me. They have that lump Henderson up front, who somehow seems to be scoring at the moment. We need Wood for the physical battle he will bring. Also not sure it's a case of being tired, but you need to be fresh and mentally ready. If a player is rested it could bring...

    MAN CITY - UK Barcelona ???

    Not in barce's league. Messi is the difference, that guy would ruin man city's defence.

    Is Our Squad Really that Bad?

    I'm sorry but I too disagree. In my opinion our starting XI is poor. I would say only half of it, at this moment in time, are players capable of playing well in this division. Murphy is decent at this level. Cranie is good at this level, whilst keogh and wood are decent. The rest, for the...

    Ben Turner

    Ben Turner was class last season. I think you're signing someone with a lot of potential. Scored 4 in 14 in the league last season too, so a threat going forward. Quite fast I have to say and have a biiig sliding tackle. Though in our current position not an awful deal for us, we have a lot of...

    Should we play the kids on merit?

    From my point of view, if they're good enough then they're old enough. Can they close a game in? Bigiramana has the greatest level of composure I've seen from a Coventry player in years..of course he can close a game in, very intelligent player. As for our midfield problem, we seem to all be...

    Tippy Tappy football without MK9.

    Ha, is this a joke or are you just irrationally against marlon king? Yeah he was disloyal, but without king I think we'd have come close to falling out of this division last season, when he was match fit he was absolutely quality. You cannot deny that. I agree with Macca, had King been in our XI...

    David Bell

    Sorry don't understand the second part of that, all I said was that it seems to be the general consensus that Bell had a bad game? I on the other hand thought he played quite well, he was lively, looked so much better than at other times, maybe he was caught out in possession but he had A LOT of...

    not too downhearted

    Being realistic, with the budget we have (or don't have) all we need is a striker and we'll be a fair side, one that knows where the back of the net is anyway. As for the younger players, Bigiramana will play for us every week whether it's ideal or not, he looks class and is a great player so...

    David Bell

    I don't know what game you were (and it seems everyone else) watching, I thought bell looked good, nice link up play, a very decent shot first half. I have never rated Bell but today I thought he did well. Mcsheffrey was atrocious, did absolutely nothing. Everyone else did quite well, without...

    Tippy Tappy football without MK9.

    Bell was not awful today he had a good game. Looks much better playing in the middle rather than out wide. Baker was decent until he went off, but mcsheffrey was woeful, just wasn't in the game. Clingan and bigiramana linked up well and with those two we will outplay most sides and control most...
