    Palmer leaving

    Same. Can understand why views differ on KP. I generally saw more positives than negatives with his place in the squad but as many have said, consistency was the main issue. Let’s see what happens through the rest of the day………

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    Assuming no major in’s/out’s, this is my preference for starting XI - I know not very probable (I.e. Sheaf and KP starting) Not a fan of playing two so left footed cb’s and don’t believe Lati has done much wrong to merit losing the shirt. Binks has the other spot and don’t see this changing on...

    Same destination for me, same time taken. Completely ridiculous

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    It’s hard for me to fathom, after 1 or 2 games, as throughout the season we will play how we did against Stoke and win, similarly draw and conversely play much better and lose. We will likely lose +/- 15 games this season, is everyone going to worry every time we do… ^This absolutely 100%

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    The preseason optimism has been replaced with pre match nervousness and negativity around this one, which is a bit hard to fathom if I’m honest after just one meaningful game… First home game of the season, decent day weather wise, good crowd in fine voice, and whichever permutation MR puts on...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    Tend to agree. Very tough neighbourhood, or at least was. Strangely, some of the worst violence I’ve seen inside a ground has been on the London Road end - quite bizarrely, a preseason friendly v Lincoln particularly sticks in the mind, around 80/81.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    Born in Cov but from 5 lived in Aston, nr Witney, early 70’s before moving back to the promised land in mid 80’s. Great era and area to grow up in as a kid. One week Highfield Rd, next week old Manor Ground - I’ve always been Sky Blue but lots of old mates from that way who are Oxford fans.

    I’m surmising the 3 changes: Lati for Thomas; Eccles for Torp; Haji for MEC

    Stoke Player Ratings

    Taking 6 as a benchmark for a competent/expected level, and on the basis of the performance, the lack of energy, creativity and application to get even the basics right, these look about right ~ slight nit pick re Dovin and Bidwell, who I’d probably both rate a mark higher.

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    Well that was disappointment. Goal was against the run of play but too many players with below par performances over the 90 - simple misplaced passes, poor control, wrong passing decisions. We didn’t match their physicality and generally seemed to play the game in half pace mode. Midfield area...

    Assume yes for Sat as parking open last night. Usual price.

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    I dont want to get in a long debate and you make fair enough/point, and each to their own pov. I’m sure Ticketmaster have reasonable security protocols in place, I’m not sure about CCFC’s generic email/storage system. Personally, I am probably too cautious, but having had personal data stolen...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    I have no issue in being asked to prove my daughter’s age, perfectly reasonable. My issue came when they asked for highly personal and confidential info to be emailed to a random email address. When asked they couldn’t provide any info on how the data was going to be protected and stored...

    Callum O'Hare

    Jeez, reading some of the comments on here ~ what is up with some folks….. hardly a surprise to anyone or a cataclysmic event. COH did well for us in the main, and I enjoyed watching him play, but players come and go ~ that’s the very nature of the sport, or any business in fact. Same goes...

    Ticket Office email

    I had a similar request last week to prove my daughter’s age; Interestingly they have changed the wording completely in the email above, to the one I received. Not sure it’s as a consequence of my (or others) email exchange/conversations but if it has been, then good they have taken some...

    Home attendances

    ^ this applies to me. Midweek matches are very tough to make due to business/travel commitments and this season has been very annoying from that point of view. Moving weekend matches around doesn’t help much either. Will though renew ST’s for next season, already knowing that daughter and I...

    I’m basically in full agreement with this assessment.
