    Mark Robins... One of coventrys greatest ever managers

    Pre Premier League, I'm pretty sure Graham Taylor and John Toshack both took teams from 4th tier to top tier.

    Mark Robins... One of coventrys greatest ever managers

    It was Willie Carr to Wolves that fell through. Agreed figure was £240,000. We ended up selling him a year or so later for less than half that. That also precipitated the sale of Denis Mortimer. Would have much rather kept Carr & Mortimer than brought in Lloyd. Wasn't the best transfer business...

    This fawning over Better Days inside knowledge by many on here is not something I buy into. I can accept that he might have had a disagreement with someone at some point but that kind of thing will be commonplace anyway in any workplace, but until I see one of the management or players from that...

    That was a lazy rumour put out at the time by people who get off on inventing such stories. Never seen anything from a reliable source to back it up.

    Are we

    I remember your fans definitely wanting Johnson out when he was your manager, and when Mowbray was our manager when we beat you 4-3 at the Ricoh. Ironically from that moment on your fortunes positively transformed while ours went downwards. Your fans got their wish though as he left for Bristol...

    While I hope you are right, and believe that if we perform on the day that we can definitely win, expecting an 'easy' 3 points is definitely a case of looking at it through Sky Blue specs. I expect this to be a real tough game and one they will be targeting as an ideal match to get their season...

    Player Ratings

    Eustace was much better than most of our fans recognised, and but for injuries would have been a top player. Even so he still had a very good career at Championship level.

    Video Middlesbrough v Coventry City highlights

    Very poor by Shipley. He was a couple of yards in front of the defender when the ball was crossed so should have got there first. Their first goal was such a basic one to concede. We seem to be letting in similar soft ones week in week out andwe can't keep leaking 2 goals a game if we are to...

    Really poor research by BBC

    Just had a quick look at the 'new' club's website and they certainly seem to claim ownership of the history of the previous incarnations of the Kings Lynn club. I think this is one of those cases where Grendel is mischievously being contrary and playing semantics. If you follow his argument to...

    Tony Mowbray

    I disagree. Our expectations as fans at that time was that we should be top half & challenging for the play offs, regardless of who had or hadn't signed for us. Even our worse doom & gloom merchants were not predicting relegation at the time Mowbray resigned, most still thought we had a good...

    Grendel player opinions

    Aren't Marillion his favourite band :sleep:? Doubt he would be into the Clash too. Supertramp maybe, but not the Clash!!

    Tony Mowbray

    I think if he had stuck it out we wouldn't have gone down. I'm certain results would have been better than we had under Venus and Slade anyway. He also has my respect for resigning rather than waiting for a payoff from being sacked.

    Sheaf

    You are correct, but we had just shown a way forward with the move that led to Godden hitting the post. Rose's poor positioning and stupidity in bringing their player down immediately afterwards meant repeating such a move was made more risky and so much more difficult by having only 10 men. The...

    Seems like a few don't rate Toney which is a view I really don't get, and if all you think he scores are tap ins you are wildly mistaken. He was far and away the best forward in League 1 last year, and I think there is no one better in the Championship this season. Once he plays in the PL I...

    Shipley

    I thought this at the time. The challenge on him was pretty awful, and I was a little surprised how little was made of it at the time. The Swansea player recklessly led with his forearm giving Shipley a right whack. Think there are determined rest times for players coming off for concussion so...

    Matty godden

    He showed good awareness to pull the ball back for Shipley's goal. I doubt our other forward options would have seen or taken that option.
