    Future Wage Investment

    ...which is why I am puzzled as to why SISU are supporting any kind of drive for promotion. The cost of being in the Championship let alone challenging is reckoned to be £40 m or so. Surely beyond SISU's investment criteria, whatever they may be

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Doncaster Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 28th Sep

    Bearing in mind I reserve the right to change my mind at least twice before the game.....1-0 to us. Team same as against Wimbledon, although I prefer Westbrooke to Shipley. Tough competitive game with few risks taken by either side, so could go either way. Hopefully we can nick it.

    Transfer Rumour More Callum Wilson rumours

    That is my vote too. Stash the cash. The only exception should be if there appears over the next two months, when we play the better teams, and alarming gap in our currently slightly oversize squad. Thinking Hiwula and Jobello may not being quite good enough to get us the goals we need. But that...

    Unbeaten runs

    We lost to Crystal Palace at home, and JH dropped our marquee signing Ian Gibson (pictured left!). We then lost away as well (Huddersfield if you say so, I can't remember). JH then reinstated Gibbo for the home game against Cardiff. He ripped them apart. The 3-2 scoreline flattered Cardiff, for...

    4 points for every two games = 92 points - should get you in the top 2. So no, you actually don't need to win away, in theory at least

    No, given our League position (good) and our off field position (bad) clearly the journalists see a story. Fisher has done the professional thing and re-stated the facts, which for a non-Cov City fan will be news of sorts. Talk Sport does have fans other than ours after all, they were the...

    Would another promotion propel Robins into the same legendary status as Jimmy Hill

    Sillett was a one hit wonder. Hill did it in easier times. Robins getting us promoted given the backdrop would be a massive achievement

    I always think the "Robins Revival" started with the acquisition of McDonald. Indicated there was a definite plan to get out of L 2. That was my impression anyway And for the first few months he was a real rock. Then......

    Is anyone else scared of losing Robins?

    I suspect he's on a relatively good deal-to compensate for the less than perfect working conditions. He's very employable after what he has achieved here. I also suspect, but have no proof, that he is very comfortable working with younger players. The grief has been with some (not all) of the...

    They came close to a result in their grudge match with MK Dons - went ahead before losing 2-1. I just think of the team that played this lot away last season at about the same time - included O'Brien, Brown, Ogogo, Doyle and Andreu plus Baka and Tom Davies. We will be a tad stronger on...

    Stirling was an accomplished player with clear Prem potential, now in theChampionship, who after a sticky start was a class act, and MOM on several occaisions. Dabo is good L 1. and a booking waiting to happen. No contest really.

    £100 to buy a ticket?

    Basically our services cost more than we are prepared to pay - Health used to be 5% of GDP, now 18% and rising still. Govt has to find other ways of raising cash other than charges. One way or another if we want stuff we are going to have to pay. And please don't say efficiency savings. I think...
