    Officiating

    So at the next break in play, the forward who thinks he was fouled indicates to the referee that he wants to have a chat with the captain who then takes a second opinion from another forward who was close to the action before deciding whether to invoke a review. Do we really want this?

    Officiating

    Cricket has the natural breaks to permit such an approach, so this could apply for a penalty given or an 'offside' goal or a sending off when the game is stopped. But what about the penalty that wasn't given? Is the captain meant to consult with his teammates and then go chasing after the...

    Oh please don't complicate it any more. When the demise of the beautiful game is analysed they will trace it back to the introduction of VAR.

    Early Season - how do we think it will go ?

    My main hopes are that no-one says 'could of' and everyone learns how to spell our players' names. I know this is an ambitious target but I am inspired by 2 promotions in 3 seasons.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    The last time we were promoted as champions was in 1967 and we finished 20th out of 22 in the following season in Division 1. Fortunately only 2 teams were relegated in those days.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    I have to confess to a certain amount of nervousness about next season, but when I look at the bottom half of the Championship table I see QPR, Reading, Stoke, Sheff Wed, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield, Luton, Birmingham and Barnsley. Add Rotherham and Wycombe to this list and I feel a whole lot...

    The worse thing about next season-

    We have about as much chance of stopping the moaners as we have of getting the 'should of' brigade to cut across to 'should have'.

    Free agent fan.

    Never a dull moment. I've seen them play in 10 different divisions, 4 trips to Wembley, the greatest cup final ever, the very best fans, passion, intrigue, never knowing what's going to happen next ….. what's not to like? Those who support the 'top' clubs don't know what they're missing.

    ‘If’ we are promoted what do we need to compete in Championship?

    You're quite correct. I consider myself out-pedanted.

    2003/4 was the season that Pead (7), Suffo (8) and Staunton (18) played for the Sky Blues. Finished 12th in what was then Division 1.

    Today is very special

    A notable high point in the 50's was that for a spell we had the current England goalkeeper, Reg Matthews, who played 5 times for England during 1956. Remarkable when you think about it. A great memory for me as he was a friend of my Auntie Bett and took my autograph album with him and collected...
