    Loans conundrum

    Is that promoted or relegated? Every club seems to have loan players these days so its probably both!

    Next Game Sheff Utd - Hamer OHare

    Agreed. We should just ignore them before and during the game and leave any applause until the game is done (and hopefully when they've lost). The problem comes however as with Maddison if some of our support decide its clever to boo them, because that then brings an opposite reaction from those...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Carsley has already committed himself to the England under 21 job.

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    That's ridiculous. MR had a proven recored in the previous 2 seasons of turning us round. The Derby game was poor granted, but that was on the back of 2 good performances that indicated an upward channge in momentum. The players we have are also good enough to be top 10 in this league, even if...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    The new manager is never going to be a universally popular choice whoever it is, and to be honest a manager's previous history (good or bad) is not often much of an indicator as future success. Some managers are a good fit for certain clubs, but failures at others, only time will tell. It is...

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    If MR had stayed I was expecting us to recover to be Top 10 come the end of the season, although play offs had become a bit of a stretch, if not impossible. Any new manager will therefore have those same expectations from me.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    He seems the 'new' type of Manager/ Coach it seems DK wants in place. Someone who leads from the front in using his laptop during a game, to go with all the assistants also using their laptops. Part of me really hates modern football!

    The Big Question

    So what was the point sacking MR before the Sunderland game? He could have waited until Saturday and then used the international break to replace MR. I can only summise he thought that MR might throw a spanner in the works by having us win at Sunderland, at which point DK would have looked an...

    21 years ago!!

    https://www.11v11.com/matches/coventry-city-v-bradford-city-05-november-2003-17882/ Tomorrow is the anniversary of the most drab, depressing game I've ever had the misfortune to attend. Two poor teams playing out a dull game in front of a pitiful crowd that remained almost silent and...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Derby County Match Thread - Wednesday 6th Nov

    Hadn't we sent him on loan there, where he wasn't well received being an ex Forest player? If he wasn't always the most motivated player, he was certainly up for this game :)

    cheating fake injuries again

    I like the idea of having the players wait in the centre circle when a keeper goes down injured. Not so keen though on the comment made by the CWR commentary team that this was a kind of unofficial time out, and that there was some kind of inevitablity that time outs would be introduced into...

    Viktor Moving on

    Can't see Gyokores moving in January as Sporting are more likely to be able to exact the release fee, or closer to it in the Summer when more teams will be in a position to bid for him.

    Rudoni …?

    Not as dirty as Donal Murphy!! That's one for the over 60's :ROFLMAO:

    Robins Out Poll pt3

    I've read this written by a few posters. Given he was clobbered when clearing the ball near the goal line and was put on his backside, what was he exactly supposed to do? He got back up and tried to get back in position as quick as he could. If he had stayed down feigning injury he would have...

    Rudoni …?

    Yes, if Rudoni can consistently cross as well as yesterday its almost criminal not to play him wide!

    Some of our fans

    I first saw Smith playing in an FA youth cup semi final against Man U at HR. He was the standout player on either side, so I wasn't too surprised when he made it into the 1st team. When he did he was very good. He would kind of drop his shoulder then just beat his marker for pace, and he was a...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Luton Town Match Thread - Saturday 26th Oct

    Defensively I completely understand dropping Dasilva for this game as Luton would simply put a big guy on him and play long to him trying to exploit his lack of height. Hopefully MR's instinct on this proves correct as this wouldn't be the first time for his team selection to get slaughtered on...

    If we had somehow kept Pearce our cup winning team would also have been top 6 in the league from 1987 to 1990!!

    A Gentlemans Excuse Me

A bunch of unathletic nerds who do their best to avoid any physical acivity 🤫 Chess has absolutely nothing in common with football, which is a fluid constanly moving sport with unlimited permutations which far exceeds chess, and you can't reasonably compare the...
