    Eccles

    That sliding tackle was just brilliant. Could of done with Eccles in the Luton & Plymouth games to be honest. Tougher in the tackle than Sheaf. Fully hope and expect he will be in the squad come August

    The morning after...

    After a nervy first 15 mins we took control. They did defend well, but once again got lucky numerous times with the ball pinning around their box and just not landing right for us. Guess we must be flattered that a team that finished above us played such a defensive gameplan home and away to...

    Wright and Simms

    He’s had a stop start season. Agree, thought he was excellent tonight.

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    100% Red. Bristol looked quite handy before that, but nothing up front. They’ll need to keep it tight now and give themselves a chance next week

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    Would love us to beat Sheff Utd at Wembley, but it would be the harder game, and Wilder is is bound to come up with a plan to stop us playing, and will have them smashing into Sakamoto and Wright early on. Whilst a win against them would be magical, a loss with Hamer & O'Hare celebrating would...

    Clive Eakin on CWR

    I am sure Gurney's return has led to this in some way. The way Gurney laughs or makes sounds of bemusement at Clive's comments has been a continuing trend in the coverage this season. I know RG is The 'City Fan' but he's so prickly when challenged. Clive is like family now. At times sily...

    Jack rudoni

    Those early games this season, where he would disappear for large chunks, that's gone now. I think whether we go up or stay in the Championship there will be enquiries in the summer. However, he's playing under his hero, and clearly loving his football. Jack will stay another year, and I...

    We would have been better off with Robins

    Not sure why Lawrence is being lauded so much on here. Yes, when he left last season results took a turn, but I'd imagine that was more to do with the Robins/Viveash fallout. We'd had promotions and success before Dennis arrived.

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    Can't see Frank changing the starting X1. BTA will be a fantastic option off the bench, but he hasn't started a game for a long time. Simms is not firing but he'll tire out their CB's and then we can introduce BTA. Would be tempted by Dasilva for Bidwell, as Jay was fantastic against WBA...

    Item 25/26 Coventry Kit

    Away Kit. Brown please, and if they chicken out of that bold decision, then black, green or yellow. No red or white, and orange anywhere near. Home kit. One of these 2 designs resurrected would be nice.

    Who would you sell?

    JCH...what a waste. He barely scored in League 2 when he was with us on loan. I couldn't believe it when he started scoring loads at Posh. Robins (despite being a striker) spunked a lot of budget on strikers who just didn't deliver. Tyler Walker, JCH, Martyn Waghorn and Conor Chaplin being...

    Lampard

    Would take Sargent in a heartbeat. Brilliant striker. Would be perfect for us.

    Who would you sell?

    Without a doubt, Haji. Luxury player. On his day he can rip any team in this league apart, but way too many matches where he offers very little. His misses against Burnley (a simple volleyed finish from Da Silva's cross) and Plymouth (header) were shocking. Had Simms or BTA missed those we'd...

    Fábio Tavares

    I was hoping he'd get a run at CF last season for 2-3 games. I believe the only games he’s started at CF have been Bristol City ( that ridiculous Carabao cup game at Burton) and Wrexham in the FA Cup, where he did his ankle ligaments, and was out for the rest of the season. He was no winger...

    Lampard

    Not sure I agree with that. He was still doing a great shift when the goals dried up a few weeks ago. Haji Wright was as quiet as Simms yesterday (and at Plymouth).

    Lampard

    Lot of criticism of Binks on here since Saturday. Terrible signing etc… He was good on Saturday, messed up his clearance on the line, but he shouldn’t of been put in that position in the first place. Great option in a back 3 but had struggled in a back 4. Thought he looked beefed up on Sat...

    Brad Collins

    Wilson will be rusty, and we'd need to adapt our play as his kicking is poor and he's uncomfortable with the ball being played back to him. Still, I think he would of kept out at least one of those Plymouth goals yesterday. Big call to be made there. Collins looked a decent keeper last season...

    Ellis simms

    Simms started at Millwall early on in Frank's reign. He was disappointing, and lost his place for a spell. He then came back looking bang up for it, and scoring goals. Then the goals dried up, but he was still playing well (Oxford away). He's gone back into his shell again. He wasn't strong...

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 26th Apr

    Back 5 would make sense. EMC probably still out (or won't be fully fit) and Sakamoto is not delivering away from home at the moment. It allows to play 2 CFs. I'd probably go with Simms & Wright, but BTA could be an option. If he sticks with the 4-3-3 then it will be Da Silva & Wright on the...
