    Relegation thread

    As Slade said himself expecting more new faces in early this week. Has only just got his foot in the door with a game in hand and while today was unexpected and a big disappointment think we will be OK.

    plenty of time yet...but this has killed off all the optimism somewhat. I sense a draw coming...

    You misheard. He said 2 changes from the Bolton game but was 5 changes since Brighton if you count the checkertrade game.

    Phone in

    i remember the guy on BRMB radio many years back who was blunt, had loads of calls from the regions teams (Brum, Villa, W Brom, City etc) and he kept it going great and told a caller what he thought of them if he suspected they were talking rubbish and cut them off! Highly entertaining at the...

    ...I suspect there is no one calling in? How embarrassing is this?

    I never really tune in but at my desk thought I'd get it on. So far one call in 20 minutes? At that rate we might half a dozen calls in the hour!

    ...this is probably the team with Willis injured and Stokes injured but it's a tight decision between Thomas and Tudgay. Slade is looking for experience on the pitch so think Thomas will come on at 60 minutes. Jones would weaken the side away from home in the opening hour so expect him on at...

    Reliable v mistake ridden

    Most reliable would be the whole team back in the 60's wheen Hunt, Machin, Curtis, Glazier, Carr et all turned out every week for the shirt. Unreliable are all too obvious down the years!

    Ryan Haynes

    ha that's funny. Grendal its a matter of opinion and we know you have documented how bad a player you consider haynes to be. That's fine but I disagree with you on that. Regarding Bigi I still do think he is better than this level, he just needs it bringing out of him. Time will tell.

    Ryan Haynes

    He was a defender that I remember seeing play that role many times, before he was placed in a more forward role and then a roaming role. Certainly a lot more games as a defender than Haynes has played in a City shirt so far. It's just a comparative point. I think Haynes has more quality going...

    Graham Taylor

    Sad indeed. Always liked him. What he did at Watford was truly amazing, and to this day they are in or around the top flight as a club thanks to his achievements there.

    It took quite some time before Bale was 'converted'.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    I think the Trust are obliged to explore ways and means and if not what are they good for? However while it will serve to see what is plausible going forward I fear any outcome leading to some form of fan ownership is a mute subject for me. I just can't see any major investment while there is...

    Brighton Highlights

    We played a 4 4 2 it seems under Slade and at this level at least players seem to understand that better and we have improved. Haynes is a clear threat coming forward. He glides past players easily at pace. That has to be a valuable contribution to the side. Clearly has an eye for goal and a...

    Always thought Haynes was never a defender. Definitely more in the Bale mold for me and every time he plays he proves that. Has a sweet left foot, pace and who would deny he has a right foot too?
