Yes!

Back on thread, we all know that the recruitment in the summer went badly wrong, and we've been left with a young squad that's been bullied in many games this season. I was also worried by Mowbray's demeanour during matches. At the Fleetwood away game this season, we were struggling in the...

Thanks for this Oucho, it's a damned depressing read but a good analysis. We need promotion type performance over the next 15 games, and although my supporter's heart says we can do it, my head says we've dropped too far. Two weeks ago we needed one win to move out of the relegation places, now...

The budget may not increase, but we might win a game and show that our club has potential.

The last two games were very poor in terms of footballing performance, but we lost each game 1-0, to a cracking long range shot, and a late goal. We have to give RS time, and if we win enough games ugly to keep us in the league, then I would take that for this season.

I agree, this would be a much more positive approach, and think of the impact on the team if we could get somewhere near a full house cheering the team on

It's obviously wrong to blame the fans for what's happening to our club, but I do think, that given the size of our city, to say that 8,000 fans is good is wide of the mark. That's not to be critical of those 8,000, but it isn't evidence of a strong fan base. It's a result of many, many years of...

Ernie Machin was an excellent player, and didn Ernie Machin was an excellent player and key to our success in the mid 60's. Didn't J H say he'd signed him because he liked his blue eyes?

I'm sure that Foley will be a good player/squad member for us, but I agree, I thought Willis played well on Saturday and would be unfortunate to lose his place. Did Foley get a knock on Saturday?

Yes!!

Yes, it was the worst I've seen us play for a long, long time. Can't remember the last time I saw a Cov team play so little football. We had no creativity, and hardly strung 3 passes together. The ball did spend the majority of the time I'm the air, which played into Chesterfield's hands. It was...

I went to the game today full of optimism, new manager, new players, some recent decent results - and what a reality check! We were really poor today, I can't remember a game when we played so little football. It was an awful game, any football that was played was played by Chesterfield, and...

That's hard to argue, Ian Gibson and Willie Carr two of my heroes. Macallister was a really good player, we should have offered him a two year contract and we may not have been relegated. Mickey Gynn gave us great service, as did Ooh Ah Lloyd McGrath. I'd also give a shout to Gordon Strachan...

I worked in New Ollerton for a while, lived in Boughton, it was a hard area and Mansfield a hard town, but I loved the people.

Am I wrong in thinking that it took Dion a couple of years to get going? And in that time he was not that reliable in front of goal - lacked confidence? Then scored that great goal at Tottenham to keep us in the premier, and went from strength to strength. Bellamy missed so many chances in the...

I'm not sure, I think there's ability there.

Thanks, appreciate your thoughts, and we WILL be back! Good luck over the remainder of the season (I was at the '88 cup game)

In 1973 I was living near Norwich and playing football most Saturdays. Our game was called off the Saturday Man U played at Highfield Road, and two of my friends, Norfolk Man U fans (yeh, I know) said let's go. We got there about 2 o'clock, and the ground was a sea of red and white. I kept...

Nor me - Boo Hoo!

I was at the Sunderland/City game in the League Cup in January 1990. - blimey, 27 years ago this week! Anyhow, Speedie had been winding up Gary Bennett the whole game, and in the end, Bennett snapped. He's a brute of a guy, about 6'4" and built like you know what. He grabs Speedie with one...
