The thing about yesterday was that it was quite a departure from the Mowbray philosophy. The way we set up, the way we pressed high up the pitch, it was like watching a different team. It's one game, so we can't be making any predictions based on one good performance. Have to say though, been...

That isn't really true though. Bury perhaps, but no way Shrewsbury, and the other two were pretty even.

There were a group of fans behind me giving it the paedo thing throughout the game. Cringe. I'm all for giving him stick, but some of the stuff is over the top, as is the Joy Seppala is a slag chant. Don't get me wrong, I'm not THAT bothered by it - he's hardly an innocent patsy, but a bit...

I'd say the opposite. Proper old-fashioned ground, good away end with a low roof, plenty of places to drink etc. Home fans a bit flat yesterday, but so were their team. The fact Burslem is a shithole adds to the charm of the place. Rather Vale Park than many of the new edge of town...

You know it's bad when hackneyfox feels the need to crawl out from under his rock.

We're talking about different things. A takeover by Wasps (which will not happen) is one thing; the complete rebranding and a name change as discussed here is another - all that would do is result in a breakaway phoenix club and it would get very messy and potentially makes things worse...

When we changed to Sky Blue under Jimmy Hill it was a change from one shade of blue to another, and a change back to a colour we had worn early in our history. The Talbot idea (80s not 70s) was silly, but would not have been nearly as drastic as what is proposed here and would have been...

Do you know what, I look at that and wonder if I shouldn't have a cheeky bet on a top 6 finish. That side has to come good doesn't it? Without wishing to use the term 'on paper' and risk being shot down in flames, I still think we'll feature at the right end of the table this season.

Is this thread really happening? Just when I didn't think it could get any worse...

I fear Jones is next. It'll only take a couple of bad games. Hope I'm wrong. I recall one poster on here declaring Ryan Kent to be the worst player ever to pull on a city shirt after his performance away at Swindon. Mo Konjic - he was a legend though. That's how we roll. PS don't agree...

That's exactly the idea. I've seen it in the US, but the concept hasn't really been adopted here. Obviosuly, as this is all a bit OT and I don't want to keep bumping this back to the top, so I'll just clarify what I'm looking for. Essentially - interesting, well written and relevant content...

Aye. I've adopted the 'build it and they will come philosophy'. Cheers for the kind words.

Ha! Cheers, but not sure how difficult that is really ;) Content is thin though, so would be great to get a few bodies involved. No major commitment from anyone needed - a large pool of contributors each doing a little bit will go a long way.

Not meant to be a shameless plug, more of a request (hoping you can humour me this one time Nick). I'm looking for someone to take editorial control of the CCFC (and other sports ) content on CoventryToday - which you'll see is a bit thin on the ground at the moment - but it is very new...

Some real crackpot stuff doing the rounds tonight. The notion that SISU are deliberately trying to avoid promotion is absurd. It is completely devoid of logic. Our budget is bigger than most sides in this division, and what they want is for the club to achieve that goal without the need for a...

No, I think it's correct. One of the conditions of the U23 teams entry iirc.

Indeed. I think he has massive potential. I just hope people don't jump on him when he has a dip in form - which will happen at some point. We see it often at this club with flair players - look at Murphy and Kent last season and the stick they got from some - usually a lame accusation of 'no...

You got something against Jones? You seem to jump on any error, no matter how minor.

It will almost certainly cost the club money to stage tonight's game. Very rare that I miss a game, but can't find a reason to go tonight.

I thought he did more than that tbf. The cross for the goal was sublime, and there was a great reverse pass that put Reid in. Should have done better with his chance, but other than that not sure he did anything wrong. We looked far more dangerous with him on the pitch, he gave us an outlet we...
