    Match Thread Coventry v Northampton Match Thread - Saturday 27th Aug

    Piperhitz What you are a talking about is using players merely as mercenaries. You spend zero time developing a team. You just bring in recruits who will make a difference instantaneously. Don't even need to know their team mate's names. If that is modern coaching then we are going backwards.

    Match Thread Coventry v Northampton Match Thread - Saturday 27th Aug

    To be perfectly honest I'm surprised we are still getting gates of 10K. Starting the season with half a team is a novel approach. The board obviously think starting with a 15 point deduction brings out the best in us. But you would hope that there is a long term plan to develop a young squad of...

    Should Oggy be released?

    I don't see how a goalkeeping coach can be responsible for scoring 4 goals in 10 games. However Oggie always makes me smile because he always looks as though he would rather be somewhere else. Can't blame him actually.

    My report from yesterday's loss to Wigan.

    As you say excellent support from the fans. It looks as though it was pretty much one way traffic but we could have had more success on the break if we hadn't already lost our confidence in front of goal. Winning 2-1 from two breakaways would have been entirely satisfactory - but could Wigan...

    Can we make the Premier League?

    It is impossible to say no to this question. Any club can get to the premiership. Not very likely but they can. How would we rank compared to say Yeovil or York?

    Mirror Article - Most misery since 1992

    Sneaky contender? What does that mean? Most Wimbledon fans were involved with the set up of AFC Wimbledon. They were taking 1000 supportes to games in tier 9. They are now in tier 2. That is 7 promotions. They might have been upset at Wimbledon FC going but the 'Crazy Gang' was long gone (and...

    You have to say that if we are to get in the play offs we now have to become the 'form' team. And if we do this is exactly what you want to be at the end of the season. It is much better than just managing to hang in by scraping enough points together. It is the form team that usually succeeds...

    So, it now looks like

    I think we are better than Sheff Utd this season. And anyway I was talking about the teams above us.

    So, it now looks like

    The difference appears to be that TM appears to get effort from loanees that other managers don't. Too often they do not come off. We have benefitted from players that will eventually play at a higher level. In the past that hasn't happened. Now being realistic we are in a very strong position...

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    Gibson was a No 10 and very much a forward not a midfielder. But brilliant. Unfortunately never fulfilled his potential because of off field problems. My favourite player but you could't put him in an all time greatest because of that. Keano was a very similar talent but he did fulfil his...

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    Ronnie Rees all day long. It was only after he stopped playing that I realised how good he was. There was never anyone came along to compare. However it is difficult to leave out hutch from a best ever.

    I live in Bath. There are thousands go to see the Rugby that wouldn't dream of attending a footy match. They're not sports fans. They just like the atmosphere around Rugby games. You get a lot more women go.

    Simple question

    Why can't we have a clock like in Rugby and the ref stops the clock every time there was an injury or substitution? Everyone would be able to see exactly how long was left instead of these random extra minutes at the end of games.

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    Quite frankly the chairman of the SCG is a disgrace. What sort of chairman goes public with the sort of stuff he is airing about a fellow committee member. Answer: A piece of sh*t. The same goes for the secretary for those minutes.

    Port Vale striker Alex Nimley 'would play for nothing' to join Coventry City and keep

    Sounds like he has burnt all his bridges. Can't get a game at Port Vale and no one else will touch him with a bargepole. He would fit in our squad a treat
