Quite like that, but I do fear the ball would be coming back at us quite a lot. Don't think that front three are going to win many battles although Thomas will give it a go. So I'd maybe replace Chaplin with JCH in that formation as long as Thomas and Hiwula (and possibly Bayliss) are near...

Think I'd try Baka and Hiwula, but only as long as we play it on the ground. Anything humped long you've got to have JCH in as he's the only one who could compete, if he feels like it.

Agree with you. There are elements that have just learnt to keep quiet but have an ingrained racist attitude. Sadly, I think those people won't ever see things differently no matter what evidence or penalties you put in front of them. The saddest thing is that many of them will have families and...

Where does it say MR was apportioning some blame on Baka? If he has then all it shows is that MR definitely has it in for him - that goal was the fault of Burge. Perhaps it's racism ;)

Think we'll lose this one, again due to a lack of finishing chances. Aside from the odd massive individual error we've been pretty good as a defensive unit so don't think we'll get pasted unless that Walsall game has got into their heads - hopefully not. _____________Burge...

NEWS: New flag for Coventry revealed - with the Sky Blues featuring prominently! Possibly a bit of PR propaganda making the most of community links, possibly a bit of the council telling the club stuff to keep them sweet? The blue is far more likely to be due to the weaving trade and the...

I remember we conceded two very late goals to draw against Leeds a few years ago, but that wasn't a loss.

It's all superstitious bollocks. Fingers crossed that comment doesn't come back to bite me on the arse ;)

It is comedy and he's undoubtedly playing it up for effect. But there is a hidden 'truth' in there as well - it's an extension of his actual beliefs and opinions, just like the vegans and feminists. It's got a passive-aggressive vibe to it. It's certainly different from the kind of stuff that's...

That's part of the point I was trying to make, albeit poorly. I remember the game Stephen Hughes had to go in goal in after our keeper got sent off by the ref, who was Asian. The WT were incensed by the decision and were shouting abuse at the ref, including me - that wasn't racist. I heard one...

I don't get just abusing players (certainly your own) but I understand exasperation at individuals for mistakes and poor decisions, and even collectively booing of the team at full time for a poor performance. Issues such as racism and sexism are still very much alive, though I do honestly...

Think I'm more upset with that than games we've played far worse in and lost my more. I liked the changes to the starting XI on the whole and seemed like we came out first half really well. A few hairy moments but in control. Second half once again we dropped off. Is it just performance/fitness...

Possibly. It's really easy during a good run to just come on and say "as you were". Harder during a bad spell because you feel something needs to change, but what exactly? Should you keep on persevering with the same team as they did well a few weeks ago? After all, stability breeds success...

Look at the options they throw in to solve this situation. All are based around the likes of Wasps changing their rhetoric and standpoint of not talking while litigation continues. Not once does it say SISU should, or even could, alter their strategy. Now, I don't agree with that standpoint of...

Whether you like it or not, SISU ARE a family member of CCFC at this point. An in-law, brought in by marriage and could leave again via divorce, but family all the same. We've all got family members we'd rather avoid, but like it or not they are related. I'm trying to be diplomatic here. I'm...

As it was my analogy to start with, it's actually you putting a spin on it;) In honesty it's actually two separate analogies using the same hostage premise. Yours does make sense as well though. I don't think this would 'kill' SISU, just give them a 'scratch' as you put it from the loss of...

I don't think we're looking at that analogy from the same angle I'm looking at it from CCFC's 'owners' (i.e. SISU) are holding the gun. The owners could end the hostage situation by releasing the hostage (selling the club) or putting down the gun (drop legal action). They're doing neither...

The shooter would be whoever put the football club out of business and wound it up. Wasps wouldn't even be holding a gun as they wouldn't be a creditor (unless the club stopped paying rent again but that's not going to happen) so the only person with a firearm and making any kind of threat are...

I agree with this. It is exactly the game I believe our owners are playing. They can rely on the partisan blinkered support of Coventry City fans due to the hsitory of the club and the fan base. Wasps can't, and they can't afford to lose any potential fans (or present ones who follow both Wasps...

Just a question to those who said they couldn't support a 'new' Coventry City if it went under - why do you support this club after Coventry City Football Club Ltd was liquidated and dissolved? Legally, Coventry City as you knew it went out of business at that point and somebody else just...
