    Do the players really care??????????

    Our players care as much as any other team's. They are 1) running on empty...emotionally and physically shattered, many have been playing with injuries. 2) stretched to the limits of their ability... Few are good enough for this division...the kids are not ready and the experienced players are...

    Last two games I want to see the youngsters.

    Sick and tired of people blaming the players, especially Clingan, who has been harshly criticised. 1) the squad is too small 2) there are not enough experienced players 3) the kids are very raw and not (yet) good enough. 4) our strikers are not goalscorers. These are facts. The squad, as a...

    It could have been different ?

    Agree. The criticism of Clingan has both baffled and angered me this season. Way too much has been expected of him. I, for one, think he has had lots of good games and few poor ones. I watch him and don't see what people want from him. Consider the facts: He has been surrounded by kids He has...

    what will Saturday bring

    Block 23, row AA, seat 20 will shout vile abuse at every player from 3 until 5. We have such lovely fans

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    So we agree then? Midlanders, in my experience are moaners. That's not the same as apathetic, BTW. I know for a fact that the opportunity to moan will be welcomed by some. Lots of posters on gmk are gloating already. It doesn't mean they are not disappointed. Quite the reverse. They just have an...

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    I didn't. I said they love to moan. You should sit in block 23, some start during the warm up. One guy screams abuse at Clingan when McSheff gives the ball away. He spent one game slagging off Gray all second half when he'd been subbed at half time. I could go on. Spoils the enjoyment of many...

    Looking for the 92-94 Home kit!

    £50 and I could find one or two. Make me an offer.

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    Yes, yes and yes. We all share the frustrations but some of us believe it is counter productive to vent that negativity. Footballers are pretty thick and ego driven. They need support.

    Billy Daniels handed squad number

    On the contrary I fully expect a Boys Own debut hat trick.

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    Millwall 14,275 Doncaster (after we win tomorrow) 23,450 Open top bus parade after we stay up (cancelled due to Health and Safety concerns as whole of Coventry surges onto the streets)

    Do you think we will be relegated against Millwall?

    No. What's the point of being a supporter if you expect your team to fail? Being a fan is an act of faith... Or why not go and support Man utd or Barca? PUSB

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    Exactly. Some of our fans will be genuinely disappointed if we are still alive this time tomorrow. Midlanders like nothing more than a good moan. Why? I'll never know. If we win (more than possible with our home record and the enormity of the game) And Bristol lose (more than possible given...

    How many points for survival?

    Win the 2 home games gives us 46. Bristol will lose to West Ham and I think their game v Barnsley becomes pivotal. Even if they win that would give them only 1point advantage and poorer goal difference going into the final game. Under those circumstances they would have to go for the win at...

    Most Important Player

    In order to sell players we have to receive offers. Few clubs, outside the Prem, have any money and will be using limited funds on wages not transfer fees. So we might keep most, or even all, of the better players still under contract. Let's face it we have already sold the family silver. The...

    Kieren Westwood to be loaned out

    Entirely predictable as some of us said a year ago. The same will happen to Keogh if he goes to the Prem. I would rather play at a lower level than be bench fodder, but money talks. Westwood, Kirkland, Davenport... Lots of our former players made the same mistake. Fox is not good enough for the...

    Play up Sky Blues

    Of course the pessimist is always right even when they are wrong. The optimists always deluded, even when right. A pessimist is really a fatalist who believe the future is fixed and our actions are doomed to fail. Usually very sad people. The same as those who streamed out of Coventry the day...

    This club has a losing mentality...

    The fans also have a losing mentality. Look for problems and talk it down and you demoralise weaker brethren and they give up supporting. If we are relegated we should talk up the chances of promotion next year, get 15k in the Ricoh every match and see something build. It is all we can do as...

    Play up Sky Blues

    I reckon if I wasn't an optimist when it comes to supporting CCFC I would have given up long ago. Went to my first game in 1970... Since then more pain than gain, but you never know. We have been in worse states and survived. League 1 would be a new experience but we would be the biggest club...

    Advice from a supporter who has been watching CCFC for 60 years now,,

    Me too. Paid for 2 season tickets and although gutted if we drop, we may have to fall before we can rise again. Supporters take the rough with the smooth. PUSB

    Play up Sky Blues

    Otis, am I right in thinking you were confident we would beat Peterborough and then that we would lose to Burnley? You could be just as wrong this time? The only game that matters is the next one. Beat Millwall with a superhuman effort, BCFC lose to West Ham and see how we feel then?
