Burge saves a penalty to keep Sunderland in it. Combined with his first leg blunder, the play offs have given us Lee Burge in a nutshell

please explain why?

...and what is unreasonable about going to the club that pays the most money?

I think it looks like this The squad 2nd half of season = 24 (Bapaga excluded, as I don't think he got on the pitch). Assume:- 1. Include Sheaf 2. Exclude the loan outs - Mason, Kasta and Hilssner - no future 3. The squad size has to grow by two to cover an extra central defender and left...

Financially unviable and appalling for morale in the dressing room, but hey ho. What would you think if you weere Eccles?

The three big days in City's history - Wolves in '67, Spurs in '87 and this match

All 4 of the European freebies have been tripe. We should abandon the strategy and ask big questions of the guy that formulated it.

I'm sorry, but when Michelle Owen starts talking about 'perfect through balls'....I come over all sweaty

A loan for a position where we have a strong 1st choice is just stupid. It is a waste. See Ryan Giles. We have up to 5 loans allowed and need to get them dead right in the positions we need them. Last year Osti, James and SamMac weere vital and Gyokeres was useful. Unless of course Robins knows...

You misread or I wasn't clear Only Baka arrived for the first season in L 1. The others were later or earlier. Even if you modify in the detail, the picture is clear that there is collosal turnover, with virtually a new team each year. It might be a function of being promoted twice. Players...

These are the contenders for the two central midfield slots (even if only in a our fevered imaginations) :- Kelly, Sheaf, James, Hamer, Eccles, Walsh, AN Other. We would not have all seven, but we would have 5 - with Eccles as the 5th. Kelly is obviously in, Hamer is saleable so not as...

Hamer's header - outrageous, I agree with others above that compared to the previous season this is poor fare and reflects our struggle to score at the higher level. In L 1 we scored a lot of top drawer goals - in fact we were light on those ugly scrambled goals that would have made some...

Continuity is an over rated virtue. One of the features of the last four years has been the almost total lack of it. Each year Robins has in effect built a brand new team - last season with 4 new loans plus Hamer & Walker it was bound to be, So that's 6/10 regular outfield players. Not one...

It was said often enough on here that one thing in our favour was the ease of our run in compared to our rivals and so it proved.

The branding police at the Building Society will probably do their damdest to ensure it is not called the Coventry Arena or Stadium. That implies no branding at all, just a geographical location, and that is not what they are paying for. So expect the likes of Jeff Stelling to be quite precise...

He injected pace, it's notb quite the same thing

Last season we blew a lot on O'Hare's wages; this is a comparable scenario. But does a central midfield duo of two from Kelly, James & Hamer cut the mustard? In a 3-4-1-2 formation, I'm not sure it does. One of the central pillars of 2019-2020 was Kelly in a defensive mode with Walsh injecting...

I just wonder if he was a bit down in the dumps and demotivated by being sent back to us, having hoped to be in a promotion chasing top team? He was below par for much of the season, and only perked up at the end - perthaps at the thought that his employers might be appraising his perfomance...

social distancing.......

Personally I shall be glad to be shot of 'The Ricoh'. Calling it the 'The Coventry Stadium' myself
