    First idols

    Neil Martin for me, even though there were lots of great players before him who I thought were brilliant. Martin and Hately (Tony) could/should have been a great pairing but they were a bit too similar.

    Breaking News!

    You will get over it, we all will, including Dabo hopefully, who is probably hurting more than all of us. I deal with the disappointment by not posting for a while.

    Anyone else's sleep fucked?

    Yes, if we had failed to get that point and other results had gone against us, there would have been massive recriminations about lost points here and there.

    Is Tim Fisher the best chairman we have ever had?

    Can't see what there is to get wound up about. Grendel is a classic promoter of out-of-the-box thinking, and alternative ideas. The type you always need in a team as a reality check. Not always right, but that's the whole point of it. Not a wum IMO like some on this forum.

    O'Hare

    Too soon I think, but I would love to see him as an unused sub.

    Now its potentially a reality , Will mark Robins be Coventrys greatest manager if we get promoted

    MR hasn't finished yet, let's judge him against other's achievements later. But if he gets us to the premier league and keeps us there he has to be very high on the great long list of our managers.

    Hoffman

    It was Adam Applegarth who got Northern Rock into the mess they were in. Gary Hoffman took on the poison chalice of trying to salvage what he could on behalf of the government who had nationalised it. He also refused to accept his £700,000 leaving entitlement when he left...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Middlesbrough Play off Semi final 1st leg Match Thread -Sunday 14th May

    Shots off target doesn't just mean shots that go wide or high, The opta definition of shots on target is; an intentional shot that goes into the net, or would have gone into the net if not for being stopped by the goalkeeper or the last defender. So the quality of the opposition defence also...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Middlesbrough Play off Semi final 1st leg Match Thread -Sunday 14th May

    I'm happy with that, was expecting to lose 2 or 3 nil. Nerves will have calmed for the return leg (the team I mean) and Boro will have the pressure on them. Remember Notts County

    I believe the away goals rule was scrapped in 2021

    3 top 6 finishes in 6 years

    70 points would have only got into the playoffs twice in the last 10 years. 2012/13 and 2019/20 (by goal difference). In 2016/17 Fulham got 6th with 80 points.

    Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Millwall

    Form is obviously important, but so is pressure. Millwall are at home and are expected to win in front of their fans. They may 'bottle it'. Blackburn have nothing to lose really, they are all but written off, when in fact if they win they have a very similar chance of reaching the playoffs as we...
