    Are we going up?

    At any play off game the fans will naturally get behind the team & I really don't see this as an issue. The only time when the fans might get on their back is when all is lost. In a play off scenario I just don't see our fans getting on the teams back if we go a goal down. Also in a bigger crowd...

    PONTICELLI

    He's from Bedworth & went to Nico, as did Camwell. My kids went to the same school & know them both. There isn't a hospital in Bedworth, so that's why he would be shown as born in Nuneaton (George Eliot Hospital).

    Are we going up?

    Sorry but this is bullshit. Plenty of games this season, particularly in the early part of the season & played in front of paltry home crowds, or away games where tickets have been sold only to season ticket holders have had toxic atmospheres, with the regular 'super' supporters turning on the...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Crawley Town Match Thread - Saturday 14th Apr

    There is not much point playing Ponti unless he is up front. I would rather McNulty play right but gonna be interesting as to how exactly we do set up. Does seem a little desperate given we've had all season to have a more attacking approach against sides with an ultra negative approach but...

    Tonight’s games

    Just having looked at Mansfield's remaining fixtures their game today is a huge one. If we had their fixtures many of our fans would be predicting maximum points. Yes they are on a bad run, but a win today could give them an upturn in confidence going into those remaining games, so hopefully...

    Tonight’s games

    74 points should be enough for play offs. Given they have 70 already, I can't see them getting less than 4 points from their remaining games.

    Shit Coventry players

    Spong was signed as a potential superstar on the recommendation of Roland Nilsson & I think played in the 2nd of our consecutive youth cup final appearances in the late 90's. He never made our first team though so don't know what went wrong - injury I would guess.

    Are we going up?

    You've changed since the Yeovil game!! From the depths of despair you're now in your happy place again despite another defeat. Anyhow as of now I think we will finish 7th,but from that point anything can happen. Heart says we get another winning day at Wembley, but head says we will find...

    Final 7 prediction’s.

    Wycombe have quite a tough finish & I can see them losing out on 3rd place. We are too far off now & my gut feeilng is that we will end up 7th. I don't think Notts County have it in them to get 3rd so that leaves Exeter & Lincoln for the last promotion place. Lincoln appear to have momentum...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 7th Apr

    In terms of gamesmanship just about the worst I've seen this season was Crawley so I fear the worst on Saturday. They were wasting time right from the kick off, with the goalie having to find the right blade of grass to place the ball on for every goal kick, every throw in involving the ball...

    Observations from today...

    In regard to our left back position this season, the fact that both Stokes & Haynes have been poor this season makes it all the more disappointing that Camwell hasn't stepped forward. He had a decent debut in last season's final game and given his reputation before this season of being an...

    Deluded

    With Swindon & Mansfield also slipping recently it looks to me like 74 points will be enough for a play off place, which ought to be achievable, and from then its a lottery. Ponticelli's goal smacked of an instinctive finisher who we might need to make more of before now & the end of the season...

    The most overly disliked players

    I remember this - got a feeling we drew 0-0 with Arsenal. With regard to his previous career with us I don't remember the fans turning on him until his last game he played where we were playing his club, West Ham, and after letting in a soft goal in front of the West End he reacted to the...

    The most overly disliked players

    I remember that first season Telfer signed & he started well in the first couple of games, and I seem to remember after we beat Man City when Isaias played a blinder, Blackburn made an offer of something daft like £3.5m, which would have given us an immediate big profit. We rejected it though &...

    The most overly disliked players

    Going back a bit David Smith was destroyed by our fans. He started out fantastically taking full backs to the cleaners but once he went through an inevitable bad spell the boo boys got onto him and he lost all his confidence. Although he still occasionally performed well he was never the same...

    Yeovil can help us

    If there is one thing I've learned from this season it is pointless judging our upcoming performance on our last game. No 2 games are alike - I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we keep a clean sheet against Notts having just let in 6. Equally Yeovil are as likely to go scoreless, where it...

    League 2 Team of the Season

    Willis is one of our players that can definitely step up a level & I've never bought into this idea that he is disposable & easily replaceable. On a more general point leading from that, I've also never quite worked out why, but there is a definitely a Cov thing where a large amount of our...

    I don't disagree with you about today's performance, but I do disagree if you think Doyle has been poor for months.
