    Match Thread Coventry City - Wycombe Wanderers Match Thread - Friday 22nd Dec

    I can't agree that Wycombe are a poor side, they play to their strengths and with the beast as their focal point you can see why they hurt teams at our level

    Match Thread Coventry City - Wycombe Wanderers Match Thread - Friday 22nd Dec

    That was a good game, we played well and it was a good atmosphere. Night matches are just better! Some very strong performances from most of the team but I fail to see what Biamou or DKE offered on the night. That was the Stokes of a couple of years ago and well done to the defenders in handling...

    So much for the air tight defence! We are handing them the initiative.

    Ten for £10 offer against Wycombe

    Yes, I am going to Carlisle too and travel back on the day of the Stoke game sadly.

    Ten for £10 offer against Wycombe

    All interesting points raised but these fans are out there. They are the 43000 at Wembley in April, the 28000 on the return to the Ricoh. This happened at Wolves in the eighties, they came back once a new regime was in place, once they progressed. The cycle we are in is dreadful but I don't...

    Ten for £10 offer against Wycombe

    You know the thing that happened recently that might put some off going.

    Ten for £10 offer against Wycombe

    I applaud the club for putting an offer out and hope it is successful but I can't help thinking it's unlikely to induce many to forsake Christmas events or venture out in the cold. It is clear that many won't go to watch the team they say they support under any circumstances nowadays and I find...

    Taxi on the way

    It's hard to argue against a word of that. This is the puzzle that Robins has to solve and his success in doing that will keep him in a job. Time will tell.

    Taxi on the way

    I do not advocate getting rid of Robins but that is not to endorse his management. He needs to address the set up of the team and how we meet the demands of this league. We are now a long way in to the season and we still have one way of playing and if that isn't working it's defeat and on to...

    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    I bought a Rotherham and sons watch because it was made in Coventry and it has been a very reliable and attractive purchase. My mother lost family in that area of cathedral lanes and broadgate and I can remember a child being walked around the area and her pointing out where bombs fell and...

    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    To put some context to the visual appearance of the city center please remember what it was a consequence of and the period it was rebuilt I see the redevelopment around the train station and the walk to the city center, I see around by the Belgrade theatre and even where the Coventry theatre...

    Stoke Details Confirmed - Saturday 6th January

    I sort of get the price sensitivity for low income or families. I just don't see fans coming back in droves even if it was five pounds.

    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    It's been a long hard journey for Coventry and I am delighted that it will have a light shone upon it in 2021. Well done to many who have put pride back in to our city, such as JLR, the university's who bring people from all over the world and money with them, to all the people who invest in...

    Stoke Details Confirmed - Saturday 6th January

    Surely we can all agree that any price against FGR and the like is going to be poor value and surely we can agree that football in England is over priced? A one off game against a club 3 divisions higher, relatively local and with known players in their side should hold some interest for...

    Any chance we will be seeing these kinds of celebration s anytime soon?

    NFL as a day out is excellent, the experience is top notch but it must be remembered that it is an eight game home season unless your team reaches the play offs. The game itself is mind numbing, tactical and to me boring. Its a game of athletic chess and as an entertainment reminds me of...

    Solid Defence.

    Yes the defence is good but the two that sit in front of them are a big factor too. Get past them and teams are walking through on goal.

    Its bad enough watching us play on ifollow and I doff my cap to the 6000. The football is simply dreadful,yesterday we were patently the much superior side yet we were there for the taking and when they strung any passes together Crawley scored a good goal and nearly got another. We are short...

    JH and Garry Thompson - 1981

    What is often forgotten in the view of Chairman Hill is that all clubs were faced with issues were killing football and all clubs were looking for external revenue. Gates were declining, interest was waning and the government were asking clubs to foot the bill for holliganism. One of the great...
