Professional footballers are light years ahead of your average Saturday/ Sunday player. Always makes me chuckle when fans quote 'such and such' is shit as a matter of fact, when they probably can't kick a ball themselves. Was hilarious at the Ricoh when they did that half time shooting into an...

Alassani has played his last game for the club. Unlucky with injuries but ridiculously overrated by some on here.

I liked him. Hard as nails and gave his all. Ideally in the top league we would have had more quality but essentially he was brought in as back up, not as first choice. Initially he stepped in mostly for Killer when he started getting injuries, but must have been quite galling for him to then be...

Started ok and had difficult task of managing us through our time spent in Northampton and a points deduction. That season he had an exciting forward line, which he had to break up in the mid season transfer window and from then on things gradually unravelled. Once we moved back to Cov the team...

I base my opinion on him through our finishing 17th and 19th during his seasons in charge, despite being able to call on the likes of Westwood, Cranie, Dann, Turner, Fox, Gunnarsson, Tabb, Mifsud and Best . Not forgetting loan players like Henderson, Cork and Van Aanholt too. All of these...

I think a lot of them liked him because he was one of the lads, rather than because of his managerial skills. The Sunderland netflix documentary showed up these limitations perfectly, especially an interview with Aiden McGeady which was really damning.

He was a decent no nonsense defender, but he was injured too often unfortunately.

The option for i follow has only been open to overseas subscribers. Obviously there are some in the UK who have used VPN's to bypass that requirement, but I think your average Cov fan doesn't really know much about it. I don't really understand why you think that only those that have gone to St...

If this were to happen it wouldn't be £20, it would be £5 and people wouldn't have to leave their front room, never mind venture to St Andrews or the Ricoh, so I think 20,000 is a reasonable guesstimate, particularly given the position we are in at the moment. Additionally people would love to...

It's unlikely for this season you could change the costs, which are set at £5 a match. The money goes to the club you subscribe through so even for away games our money would go to CCFC not the home team. That is why the Accrington Chairman is so pissed off with i follow, as this obviously...

We would be one of the better off teams or least worse off teams depending on your outlook, in a scenario of a BCD completion of this season, with all games on i follow open to UK viewers as well as those overseas. Given our support base, position in the league and the developing thirst for...

Football had already started to change by this time and teams were not staying together for as long as you made out in your earlier post. Freedom of Contract had been in place for about 6 years by this point, the effects of which we had already felt by the loss of players like Thomas, Gillespie...

Bolton and Southend deserve to go down every bit as much as we deserve to go up. Any cancellation outcome that involves them avoiding relegation will be a travesty.

Whatever makes you think our owners would shy away from legal action?

You've posted this before about Speedie being disruptive in the dressing room and I've challenged you every time. Yes he was a fiery character and yes he might bollock someone if they didn't come up to standard, but I have never seen anything from his ex colleagues to support your statement. The...

Another complicating factor is that Wycombe's game in hand is away to us. To go above Oxford, Portsmouth and Fleetwood they would have had to beat us, or draw with us to get ahead of Peterborough with everyone played 35 games. The play off situation in our league is the most complicated factor...

It was hot and the game was incessant from start to finish, with both sides priority being to play offensively rather than defensively, which made it fairly unique for a cup final. Fitness levels are higher these days of course, but even now given the type of game it was, modern players would...

He definitely had a shaky afternoon, but to be fair to him he made some big saves in the semi final to help get us to this day. Luckily his team mates rose to the occasion - Gynn, McGrath, Bennett, Houchen and Regis particularly were fantastic. What made it even more satisfying was that Spurs...

The defenders stood off in this instance as they couldn't compete with Regis and Houchen on the day. It was what teams commonly did when a forward had real aerial presence. When teams defended against Duncan Ferguson they would similarly stand off him and look to hold their defensive line, and...

What Promotion pay out is that?
