    Portsmouth (H)

    They are all massive games at this stage. Have to take it one game at a time like how the old cliche goes. Not losing and picking up points (whether 1 or 3) has to be the goal. Most of the games against key promotion rivals are at home. So we have to make that count. We need the fans to show up...

    May as well throw Baka, Westbrooke into the mix (as I think they did okay vs B'ham).

    League 1 game (s) Saturday

    After today's matches the top 11 teams are separated by just 10 points. That's insanely tight. No real runaway leader and so many teams in the mix. Portsmouth, Doncaster, Fleetwood and us have games in hand over the others. Hopefully, we can make them count.

    Promotion - The Down side

    We should aim to play at the highest level. Simple as that. Don’t worry about challenges ahead. If we stay in League 1, we don’t know how next season will play out. What if our best players leave and if we went back to League 2? We are playing a good brand of football that should suit us in a...

    3-0 to Posh now. Looking bad for Wycombe now.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan

    Beating Birmingham doesn’t mean we win the FA Cup Final. It just adds to the fixture congestion. In all likelihood we will eventually get knocked out. So promotion is a more practical target to shoot for this season. If we can rest players and still sneak a victory over B’ham and make some money...

    I have to agree. Might even put O’Hare on the bench and start Westbrooke so as to save him for Tuesday. Shipley looked fresh last Sat and scored after being rested for the midweek match. With games coming up every Tues and Sat, we need to freshen things up and prioritize the league over the cup...

    Video Doncaster Rovers Away Reaction | Marko Marosi

    Burge would have conceded some of those shots if he was still our keeper. Glad we have 2 capable keepers now.

    8 Games in 32 days

    There is a limitation to human endurance. We don’t have such a big squad like many people think. Yes, we can interchange a few parts and pieces, but the more games we play with little time for rest in between matches raises the risk for fatigue and injuries. And if anyone were to get suspended...

    I wasn’t referring to the town. Please see the original message and the context in which I made reference to the football team.

    Time for Cov fans to show up at St Andrews, be vocal and be the 12th man and cheer us to victory against these fellow promotion challengers. Big win today and one I thought we had to win after last week's draw. We have a game in hand on the top 3 and after next week, we will have an additional...

    McCallum should have scored, but they should have had a penalty. Their players seem to fall too easily in and around our box. Shipley's goal was very well taken. We need to keep up the pressure on their goal and not sit back and invite pressure. Need a second goal to try to kill this off. Timely...

    Looking at that bench, I wonder if we will ever see Hiwula play again for us. Been ages since he played and didn't even get a sniff in the FA Cup match. Still remember his great goal vs Portsmouth early in the season (I know he also missed several gilt-edged chances along the way including a...

    Looks like Darren Moore and McSheffrey were on a spying mission in midweek to check out our team. Hope we’ve done our homework on them as well. Would love to win this one as it would be a big statement. Time to start beating the teams in and around the top 10 to get some separation.

    I agree that starting Shipley, O’Hare, Kelly and Walsh as part of our midfield to support Godden in attack is probably our most potent offense and one that could generate goals. We could bring Allen and Biamou in the second half if this formula doesn’t work. We should not play for a draw and...

    Interesting line-up. The most interesting bit is how Marosi is named in both in the starting 11 and as a substitute as well (see link below) Coventry City v Bristol Rovers - live updates

    Where will we finish (new)

    Prior to today’s match, I would’ve thought that a win today a MK Dons and a draw next week vs Doncaster would have really been a good set of results. After today’s draw, I feel it is imperative that we beat Doncaster next week. That will be a big ask considering their recent form. We need to...
