    How good is Sakamoto?

    Been with us for 18 months now and I still don’t know what his ceiling is. I like him as a player because of his work rate, but there are definitely games he goes missing along with ones where can produce magic. Interested to know what other people think? For example is he someone who has...

    Swansea Pitch

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c1m5ggr3mjzo Game in less than two weeks. Wonder if this works in our advantage?

    Relegation Battle?

    Will seem like a rash thread after the loss, but is there anybody who thinks we won’t be in a relegation battle? Our run-in in March and April is seriously tough. If we don't start picking up results, King may well get his worse nightmare.

    Preston, Cardiff, Swansea and Norwich.

    How can we have so many bogey teams in one league? It’s amazing we haven’t been fighting relegation more often?!

    What worries me about Doug King

    A lot of debate about his decisions. Getting rid of Robins obviously being the key one, which for what it’s worth I can understand. What really worries me though is his core belief that this squad should be top 6. Not only do I seriously disagree with it, but how can a man with no football...

    Mark Robins managing another team

    Will feel very weird when this inevitably happens. Is there anybody he could manage that would tarnish his reputation with us?

    When can we make a judgement?

    A lot of talk of relegation battles and Robins out. I’m honestly not sure how I feel on either, but interested to know when the judgement can be made? What is the sample size of matches? I’m tempted to say up to next international break, but it’s going to take some nerve to get there.

    Robins Comments

    That’s the most openly frustrated I have ever seen him with the players in his time here. Really called them out. Looks an unhappy camp at the moment.

    Pub Quiz Question

    Apologies as I think this has already been covered somewhere else. After tonight’s game, can anybody confirm to me which teams in the football league have not played at the CBS? Desperately needed for a pub quiz question!

    Rudoni’s Position

    Presuming we don’t get another midfielder in, should he start playing much deeper (especially when Sheaf is injured). Seems our best on the ball and can connect defence with attack. I thought him as a more attacking player originally, but needs must if we can’t get someone else in.

    Wasps Tweet

    Has everybody seen this? I'm not usually one being sucked into the negativity on Twitter, but I had to rip into them for this one. Disrespectful doesn't cover it.

    Is it inevitable that Robins will leave us this season?

    First he was linked with Birmingham and now Bristol City. Considering the amount of success he has had with us and the style of football we play, I'm starting to feel we'll be lucky to keep him this season. It also provides a perspective on the importance of a deal at the Ricoh. On one side of...

    When is the start of next season?

    Thought there should probably be a thread devoted to this. Do we have any idea of the process in place? When will a decision be made? When is it likely to start?

    A little motivation for Man City vs Arsenal

    Apparently only ourselves and Arsenal are unbeaten in 2020 (within the top four leagues). Would be nice to be the only team by 10 o'clock tonight. I'll happily squeeze all I can out of that brag until our first championship game!

    Best Championship Games

    Been trying to think of the best games we were involved with in the Championship and am surprised at how few come to mind. I suppose it was a period when we didn't play particularly entertaining football. Obviously the last game at Highfield Road and the first game at the Ricoh Arena were...

    The Players who will be forgotten

    Watched a video of Carl Baker celebrating our promotion and got me thinking about players who performed for us when we really were a lost cause. I'd put a vote for Reda Johnson, who I thought was a real rock at the back. Any other players come to mind?.....Also, we're on ouuuuurrr wayyyyy!!!

    Bolton Troubles

    Another club in a financial mess. Thinking out loud, I wonder if the disparity between the top league and the rest is really the issue. Surely there's a case for clubs outside the premier league to come together and demand more support from the top. At some point it's going to be most clubs...

    Bristol Sky Blues Flag

    Strange question, but on my last few visits to the Ricoh I have noticed a Bristol Sky Blues flag hanging over the hoardings in the North West Corner. Anybody know anything about this? As a Cov fan based in Bristol myself I'm really intrigued. Perhaps it's worth getting Bristol based supporters...

    Would you rather we lost 6-0 to Arsenal or go into extra time at 2-2?

    Despite the fact i'm going to the match I think i'd prefer the former. I'm seriously concerned by our league position and I wouldn't want us wasting anymore time on a competition we're not even going to win.

    Why are SISU staying?

    All jokes aside, e.g they want to take the club into liquidation, why are SISU still here? What do they gain? They're losing money, getting bad publicity and are hated by supporters. Call me cynical, but I don't believe it is just for the benefit of the club. Yet they're are still here and I...
