    Gyokeres

    MR has done a fantastic job but I can't see him possibly replacing Gyokeres in the January window and us still having a shot at the play offs. I so hope we can persuade him to stay until the end of the season, and that the owners can be persuaded to wait to cash in until that time too.

    Ben sheaf

    Probably because in those games the opposition have looked to take the game to us. Wigan are probably going to set up in a more defensive pattern and sit deeper, allowing us less space to thread passes in from midfield and for Gyokeres to get in the space behind them. That said I have no problem...

    It is also possible that MR will go with 2 up front (maybe tonight?), leaving room for only 3 of the 6. Who plays then?

    I haven't looked it up but at HR we did have a decent record against Liverpool in the 70's/ 80's, particularly considering how good they were. There were an awful lot of draws though which were like moral victories. Maybe its Sky Blue tinted specs, but I can remember as many wins as defeats...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    This should be fun - perhaps we could all have a guess at what school Grendel went to. I'll start with guessing King Henry VIII.

    What we can do

    We are all in the dark at the moment. Until we are clearer what the actual situation is there doesn't seem much point in taking a stand. I guess we could always take a lead from Father Ted though :)

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Another thing that doesn't add up is Ashley only being interested in controlling the arena. His previous attempt to take over Derby suggests that he wants back into football. Common sense also indicates that the fortunes of CCFC will provide a focal point for publicity surrounding the arena...

    Time to put pressure on SISU?

    I don't know for definite but I thought it stood, and only liquidation could change that. The back up plans to play somewhere else was more to do if the Administrator did not keep enough people on for the stadium to run events, rather than whether the terms of the agreement stood. That was my...

    Time to put pressure on SISU?

    I imagine SISU might be open to selling to Ashley, as him buying ACL means they won't have to put their hands in their pockets to pay out themselves. I can't see Ashley not wanting control of the football club, as the club's profile will bring wider attention to the arena as a whole. The 8 years...

    Ratings v Blackburn

    Chalk and cheese from the Blackpool game. I was worried there wasn't enough time for the squad to recover from the collective illness so kudos to all of them. Wilson - 7 Eccles - 7 Rose - 7 Doyle - 7 Panzo - 8 (his best game of the season) Bidwell - 7 Sheaf - 7 Hamer - 8 (hope the injury is...

    Ben Wilson

    It does feel that we missed a golden opportunity for a short term fix by not looking at Ben Foster. Probably no point now as it would probably take him too long to get up to speed unfortunately.

    Wilson - 4 not been one on his back, but a lot of todays defensive disorganisation came from him Kane - 6 not a bad return to the team Bidwell - 5 poor for 2nd goal, seemed lethargic like he has had or is about to get the sickness bug Doyle - 4 very poor, with the equaliser his particular low...

    Thought up to the WC

    Are you happy with 5 correct? I reckon that would be par for the course for most people most weeks, which is why it is a pretty pointless exercise all in all.

    So what happens if....

    Don't think we'd get anywhere near that, particularly for mid week games.

    Thought up to the WC

    Good luck doing this but its pretty pointless really. Week by week the Championship is the hardest league to predict results, and doing so over a longer period even more so.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Can a match go ahead without the services of those suppliers? A match could surely go ahead without catering for example, although I appreciate it might not be ideal, particularly for those with executive seats. The absolute musts are stewards, but is there any one else whose services provided...

    Coventry Real Ale Pubs

    I've been there in Winter when it had a roaring fire going, and it was a real chore leaving. If you like old style pubs with good ale and decent food then it should be your thing. If you're a lager drinker and like a boozer with one arm bandits, pool table, juke box and big screen TV then it...

    Injuries

    The player we can least afford to be injured right now is Gyokeres.
