    Match Thread Port Vale - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    Last game involved a fluke and a dodgy penalty, so lets not get carried away. It could have been all doom and gloom on here for the last few days. Not withstanding that as the couple of games have involved more goals for and against than typically previously, has Robbins changed the plan? One...

    On the TV highlights, you can see Burge is lightning quick at getting back on his feet when their header hist the bar. He takes the second effort comfortably standing up

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Oct

    Would have preferred the defensively more solid Stokes to Haynes for such a tough opponent. Seems odd to gamble when it is a tough game and not against easier opponents like Colchester at home. Almost willing it to fail. Equally but would have preferred Nazon to McNulty Glad Vincenti is in...

    Nobody yet has tonked the back 4 of Grimmer McDonald Willis Stokes with Kelly and Doyle in front ...for all the fact that all bar MacD have attracted plenty of criticism, and even MacD got some for his performance at Barnet. This is their toughest challenge and the game for Robbins has to...

    Phone in Tonight - Potentially something "big"

    It all seems a bit far fetched to me. All the stuff above about why did he not use proper communications channels seems right, unless you are a part time gambler who just happens to have struck big and so don't know the rules of the game. The odds must be stacked against

    A draw will do fine, preferably 0-0 - to keep the clean sheet thing going.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    Pretty well all modern stadiums are bowls. This maximizes the capacity but removes the sense of shape - the West End, the Kop etc etc.

    Or 11000 that feels like a mausoleum, which it does

    Plan B - Have we got one this year?

    Agreed - Stokes seemed very sound today. If anything it was the much vaunted MacDonald who was caught out a couple of times

    Match Thread Barnet - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 7th Oct

    A draw. And that would be fine. Curious to know where Andreu would have fitted in the current winning set up - in place of DKE I suppose, but he's not a flanker

    Match Thread Barnet - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 7th Oct

    Interesting that the team is more settled than at any time in the recent past. If the Duck was playing there would only be one query DKE or Vincenti. This can be a bad thing but in this case I think not. If you have a shed load of new players (only Stokes, Jones, Beavan and Willis among the...

    That is so familiar. I have a daughter at Warwick and usually go on my own as well. Took her to Walsall and she quite enjoyed so I might have someone to chum me in future

    Will he always tick with 4-2-3-1? How about 4-4-2 with Henderson up front making chances for Armstrong.

    forgive me father for i have sinned

    Guys have got to lighten up about the Wasps. With all the bad feeling Council would only have sold to SISU in extreme circumstances Premiership rugby in Coventry is brilliant and as my mate noted "the beer's better now a rugby club is in charge" I'd like us to own, but that's not available...
