    Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Friday 18th Apr

    Fellows looks to be their main danger and given how Hull targeted Dasilva I would expect West Brom to favour much the same tactic. Apart from for the goal, Dasilva dealt quite well overall, but Fellows looks a much better player than he faced last night. Judging from their goals against Watford...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Hate is a strong word, but your posts about him always seem to have a bitter twinge to them. To be fair I'm not sure I would sign him if we got promoted either, but that would depend on what alternatives are available.

    If we do get to penalties in the play offs I would be very surprised if Bassette isn't on the pitch by the end of extra time, given his shoot out winner against Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the season.

    With Eccles and now Torp injured we are slowly losing our first choice penalty takers should that fate befall us again!

    It took him a while but by the end Hamer had cut out the silly bookings. Even so its a bit of a stretch to claim he was suspended for a quarter of the season.

    Didn't like Tim Sherwood suggesting PL sides should be looking at him as a 'cheap' signing in the Summer.

    Yes this is correct. Jim Blyth was the injured keeper. Kirkland was the other way round when Strachan refused to bring him on despite Hedman being barely able to stand up and pleading to be substituted. It was against Middlesborough who played crap but nevertheless scored a winner by Dean...

    Southampton

    As long as they choose a half decent manager I would expect Southampton to be challenging for promotion next season. The same also with Ipswich who have a squad now full with top end Championship players. I hope Leicester might be the one that struggles, with a combination of a possible points...

    So many point do you think we need to confirm a play off place ?

    70 points should do it, so 11 more points. With 69 points I suspect we might lose out on goal difference.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Portsmouth FC Match Thread - Wednesday 9th Apr

    We really ought to have too much for Portsmouth, but they will be heartened by the game at their place where they bullied us to defeat. I expect they will try a similar approach and for that reason I would leave Allen and Dasilva out in favour of Bidwell and Sheaf to give us a bit more muscle...

    Final 6

    I expect it to go to the wire. There seems a lot of posters who don't recognise that historically playing away to relegation threatened teams at this time of year is a lot harder than earlier in the season. A likely scenario in my mind is that we win 1, draw 1 and lose 1 of those away games. I...

    When did it die out/disappear?

    I don't remember the 'you're gonna get your fucking head kicked in' chant beyond the 70's so agree with FP on this.

    Match Thread Who should play on Wednesday poll

    I would play Wilson. Collins' confidence must be in tatters and unfortunately that lack of confidence is likely to spread to the defenders in front of him if he continues in the team. Wilson is not the greatest keeper obviously, but he is a generally more positive character which is what we need...

    Lampard red card

    Wright was offside but it looked to me like the Burnley player blocked EMC's shot with his arm so should have been a penalty anyway.

    I thought Collins was poor for the first goal also. Instaed of spreading his body to block the ball, he just seemed to wimp out and made no challenge at all.

    Underrated players

    Lee Hurst and Andy Blair were 2 homegrown players that were underrated by most of our support.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Burnley FC Match Thread - Saturday 5th Apr

    In reality Nottingham is much bigger than Cov, but the way the city is divided into separate boroughs, means that people think the population of Nottingham is that of the city of Nottingham only. In comparison it would be a bit like Coventry's population only consisting of those living within...

    Was in Sheffield a few months back and there was a pub called 'The Crow Inn' near the Hampton by Hilton which sold a variety of very strong ale.

    He does deserve to start on his last performance, but for this particular match Bidwell is probably a better option, especially as Dasilva has been away with Wales and missed much of our prep for the match. Wilder is the sort of manager who would definitely look to target Dasilva. If Lampard...

    Not sure about when you exactly are referring to as being back in the day but throughout our years in the top flight our team was littered with players who became 1st team regulars by the time they were 20 never mind 22, through the likes of Carr, Coop, Blockley, Mortimer, Oakey, Blair...
