    Championship thread 24/25!

    Birmingham will need a quick promotion otherwise their interest payments will soon be higher than their income. Their spend just to be an average Championship side will go up. It won't be long before the FFP rules come into force for them. And as we know promotion to the Prem isn't easy. They...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Myth? I don't know anyone who had a problem with them. I certainly didn't. Wear a Cov top around Digbeth? What's that got to do with when we played in Birmingham? I suppose Birmingham City tops would be made welcome everywhere in Coventry because we don't have anyone who would try anything.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    I've had a lot less against them since they gave us somewhere to play a few years ago. I always felt accepted by their supporters. We even became League 1 champions at their place. Things might have happened since with some of their knuckle draggers, but all clubs have them. Yet another club...

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    Maybe. But I see it differently. He loves to play a high line. He is happy for our defenders to attack. But this plays into the hands of the sides that pack their side of the pitch then play the long ball over the top of our defence e.g. Plymouth. Also it doesn't work well when playing against...

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    Yes he failed at Wembley just after taking over. Then he failed in our first season in League 2. He failed when we went to Northampton and then Birmingham meaning we didn't have any proper home games. He failed in his wheeling and dealing which ended up with us having Gyokeres and Hamer which...

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    It's all I do but I get jumped on for defending Robins and jumped on for defending Lampard. Then I get jumped on for saying something against Robins and jumped on for saying something against Lampard 😂😂😂😂 We should beat Middlesbrough at home. But I do have a big niggling doubt in my mind. Collins 😆

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    I kind of agree. But you never know the state of the clubs getting relegated from the Prem. This season it was the turn of Luton. Next season could be very interesting. Leicester? Their supporters are boycotting. They should be getting a points deduction. Their main striker qualifies for his...

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    I haven't said I wouldn't see it as a failure. Lampard has made mistakes and I hope he has learned from them. I called him out for setting us up wrong against Plymouth before we even knew what team he was putting out. It was so obvious that I said exactly how they would play and named their two...

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    And I was one of the most vocal in support of Robins 😂 So it means nothing that we were 2 points out of the bottom 3 but are now in the top 6 with 1 game to go after losing our best players through injury?

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    When Lampard took over we were looking like we were in a relegation battle. We were just 2 points out of the relegation places. With 1 game to go we're in 6th with a home game left and we've been strong at home. So far this year at home we've won 9 and lost 2 out of 11. We've only lost to...

    20 years on

    The one thing I will never forget isn't HR itself but the walk up to it on a night game. The floodlights would be on and they worked like a magnet. You couldn't miss it from the city centre or even most of Coventry. Several pubs on the way whichever direction you came from. It got you buzzing...

    Cards on the table: where will we finish?

    We will beat Middlesbrough unless our GK has a complete mare. If we manage to get 5th it will be another Wembley visit.

    Who would you sell?

    Selling Rudoni shouldn't be considered at all unless someone has spotted his potential given how young he is and puts in a massive offer. Even then would it be best for him not playing every game and learning from Lampard? We need to keep Wright if we're serious about constantly improving our...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Saturday 3rd May

    I'm totally relaxed with this game. Playing the high line works well against sides like Middlesbrough as long as they don't change their formation. But it's a must win for them just to have a chance of getting into the playoffs. We're at home. We have won every league game at home since the...

    It's a close call. Bristol City have Preston who are playing for their survival. We've seen the last couple of games how that can go. We have Middlesbrough at home.

    Hamer - Championship PotS

    Football players retiring in their early 30's isn't early. It takes dedication and a healthy lifestyle to carry on until the mid 30's and further. The reason Hamer has got away with it this long is he is a gifted player. He loves his beer. He loves his food. He should have financial security by...

    I don't have a problem with them even though they're Welsh. Good owners and supporters that have been through hard times for ages. Let them have their moment. They would need a total rebuild to go any further and spending many millions would only get them to be a mid table side. None of their...
