You're exactly right belief and confidence do play a huge part. You only have to look at Murphy who has turned from at times a hesitant inconsistent player who seemed to have a fragile mindset, to an absolute star who has visibly grown in confidence to be now an automatic choice and presently...

I liked Stokes from the off, and whilst he has definitely improved this season, I always thought he was pretty decent last season. Good in the air, has a good left foot, strong in the challenge, comfortable on the ball, and always show a real willingness to get forward, what is there not to...

Haven't read all this thread but I think it wasn't until post 277 , before anyone seriously mentioned 1 party who seemed to be forgotten in all this.For the past year or so most fans have moaned about Wasps coming here and stealing our stadium, but now seem quite relaxed about us seemingly...

I believe the story has been updated today re a new stadium actually being in Coventry itself with the club actually asking for help from Coventry Council which is a huge volte face if true. The link to the story is via Les Reid on twitter, and will I suppose be in this weeks Coventry...

Agree with all that,although the first half yesterday was like what we have seemingly endured for years. But the 2nd half more than made up for that, a vibrant attacking display, with just a fantastic finish. Even the goalless draw at home was far more exciting than most home games last season...

Went to see the Raiders last season at Wembley and saw them many years ago at the old Wembley play an exhibition game against New Orleans,needless to say they lost both games. Yes the last decade has been very hard going for the 'Raider Nation' ,but finally they seem to be turning it around...

Let's hope we win 6-5 on Saturday then,that's should dampen down any interest.Then just hope Cole and Armstrong don't get hat tricks ,3 own goals, Phillips, Martin and O'Brien all scoring would be perfect.:claping hands:

Yes exactly as I thought except Oxford looked a better side than Scunthorpe. As in that game the only player who enhanced his reputation was Burge, although I thought Ricketts had a generally sound game. From the outset we looked lacklustre , the ball retention was dreadful, and it was like the...

Great move by both clubs and good that we are being proactive in trying to forge closer relations with other sporting teams in Coventry. A ticket facility in a more central and accessible area will be a great help. Was going on Saturday anyway, and went 5 times last season and thoroughly enjoyed...

The trouble is a lot of fans have selective amnesia. Every man and his dog now claims Pressley was a poor manager, yet conveniently forget the huge amount of posts not that long ago, worrying about Pressley being poached or him 'doing' a Robbins and walking out. Remember the song 'there's only...

Agree with a lot of that. Unfortunately a lot of fans have made up their mind about Burge, whilst I accept he doesn't readily inspire confidence, not sure he could be blamed too much last night. For the first goal we were way too deep, as soon they took a short corner we should have pushed out...

Ah yes the old adage lies,damned lies and statistics, is usually used when the stats don't suit the argument. Well let's call the point we haven't had a top 6 place for over 45 years as a simple statement of fact. As they say, facts are stubborn things. Yes if we had a been in the Premier League...

Yes!! Before the Premier League provincial clubs were able to win the old Division 1,clubs like Notts Forest, Derby and Villa won titles,it wasn't always the same few teams like today. Back in the 1970's a relatively small club Ipswich under Bobby Robson were always challenging near the top...

The fact that we haven't had a top 6 place for over 45, years and lets be honest most of those we haven't even been close to a top 6 place is an utter embarrassment. You would probably be hard pressed to find another team in any sport in the world with such an awful record. During our long...

Really pleased to see such a positive reaction to Stokes, I have always felt he could prove a decent player for us. He has without doubt shown a gradual and growing improvement,and now looks a very accomplished full back. From day 1 always liked his desire to get forward and provide an outlet...

Concur with most of that, struggling to remember a better performance or a more enjoyable game since we moved to the Ricoh. Some of our play was as good as you would expect at Premiership level. The only slight worry to me, is the performance level of Willis, offers very little going forward...

Typical even in this, we can only reach mid table mediocrity. What do we have to do to get a top 6 place.:o

Have kept away from this thread during the election, there is enough arguing over on the SISU/Wasps/Council as it is. Now the dust has settled there is 1 viewpoint I read weeks ago that no one else seems to have picked upon,or considered. That there is one leader who is more happy than Cameron...

Yep like the one Germany put 7 past in the World Cup.:D

Proschwitz worked quite hard, but simply never looks like scoring, not an ideal trait for your centre forward. We already possess about 5-6 regulars who fit that criteria without your main striker, being another one. It's like playing a goal keeper who can't catch, but has other footballing...
