    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    This is going to be a very tough game. They are a team that’s on a roll now and suddenly high on confidence. New manager, Russell Martin, has turned them around and sounded very confident in his pre-match interview. Their player, Alex Kibley, won player of the month for Dec. So we cannot take...

    Match Thread Match thread - F a cup 3rd round - Bristol Rovers

    Entertaining match. Could have easily won it if attempts by Godden, Shipley and Westbrooke had found the net. Rovers had a great attempt to make it 3-1 when the post saved us and that would have killed the game. Walsh was my MoM. Well taken first goal and forced the OG for the second goal. Still...

    Match Thread Match thread - F a cup 3rd round - Bristol Rovers

    Tough call. Tempted to rest key players like Godden, Kelly, Shipley, Fadz etc. and rotate the squad a little to give others (like Hiwula, Mason, Allen, O'Hare, Baka) more minutes and freshen things up a bit. For me. league is priority #1 and then comes the cup (although I know we need the money...

    The "Half" way point

    Looking back at the past 5 seasons, on average a team needs around 72 points to just make the playoffs and around 90 points to get second place (autos). Since all teams are playing 2 fewer games due to Bury's expulsion, I think we need to factor that somehow into the equation. I think mid to...

    Bright Enobakahre

    Not sure about this one. Many valid arguments made here by all. However, when he’s on his game, he gives opposing defences a torrid time. Also, I recall that Hiwula thrived when Bright was here. So I think it might be worth taking a chance.

    Is this our year ?

    We need to stay grounded and take it 1 game at a time. As of Jan 1, only 10 points separate the top 10 teams. It’s anybody’s guess who can make it out of this pack.

    Match Thread Tranmere Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

    Great result despite conceding what I hear was a sloppy goal and weathering a nervy start to the second half. Most results (bar Rotherham) went our way although we have a game in hand over Rotherham. All in all a very nice start to 2020 and let's keep it going.

    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    As long-suffering fans who have seen the highs of winning the FA Cup and staying in the top flight for the better part of over three decades as well as the lows of dropping into league 2 and not having a ground to call home, aren’t we entitled or expected to want something more from the club we...

    Match Thread Tranmere Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

    Bogey team (the Tranmere fan forum web site lists our last win there in 10 attempts as being in 1938 and they are the only team to beat us so far at St. Andrews) . Boggy ground (even Tranmere fans feel the poor playing surface will be to their advantage). While I don't want to take away...

    Match Thread Wycombe Wanderers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 29th Dec

    Hopefully we face a team that is tired and worse for wear. We should capitalise on the extra rest and play a more uptempo game. A first win away at the table toppers will be massive.

    Anything other than gaining 3 points in this match will deal a huge blow to our playoff aspirations and confidence. It's a must-win.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I think Robins wants us playing a brand of football that is played at a higher level (and also pleasing to the eye). However, for League 1 that may not be the right approach as some teams opt for a more direct and physical approach to counter that. I also agree that we've been outdone by the...

    They are a much better team than they get credit for. They will turn us over.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Dec

    After 11 away games and having the lead beyond the hour mark, we cannot keep blaming the refs for our mistakes or finding other excuses for our lack of execution away from home. We should have subbed players and kept the lead or increased it. This team is going nowhere if it cannot win away...

    I fear that we’re in for a hiding vs Peterborough due to our current lack of confidence and their potent strike force.

    We've dropped 2 points at Bolton, 2 at Oxford, should've won against Tranmere (so 3 dropped there). That accounts for 7 massive points dropped. Imagine how strong our promotion push would have been. If we don't win this game, I feel we seriously need to go back to the drawing board to figure...
