Annoyingly, since my very first game we've been manna from heaven for underperforming teams and players. Any striker who couldn't score for toffee? Coventry will let you waltz through. I remember Milosevic filling his boots in particular amongst others. I bet Fernando Torres is praying that...

That and drowning in the bathtub.

That's the salvation to cling to. If we assume that away fixtures will give us nothing, we should hope for things elsewhere to go our way and that our recent decent (poetry) home form continues through to May. You never know.

Is it just me who thinks nothing's really changed that much? This time a week ago we were hopeless away and capable of defying opinion at home.

I thought Nimely looked relatively bright, although he does seem a cut above anyway so an average performance for him is still better than most.

Ah cheers, I think I've combined those two seasons to an extent. The original Fortress Ricoh days.

Did we have a recent season without an away win (albeit with a much better home record) also or am I remembering wrong? Around 2005ish?

I do like this thread title.

We need to fool our players into thinking they're playing at home in the remaining away games. Problem is that a lot of teams fill more than 40% of their ground so it's hard to duplicate.

Sarcasm, folks. Come on now.

We lose 2-0 in our most important match for years and this twat concentrates on someone calling a local radio station !!

Still better than your knee-jerk posts.

Definitely this for me. The first goal in particular; I'm sure McCleary's a good player and all but players shouldn't be going unchallenged from their own half and allowed to shoot.

I'd imagine the Forest fans were more in a sense of self-loathing than actually believing in our chances. All of them in Glen mode.

The best thing that ever happened to David Bell's Coventry tenure is Carl Baker.

That's true, but this match isn't really any different to the rest in that respect. It would have been a huge win if only to get at least one on the board, but the defeat is more business as usual than a turning point for the worse.

I don't believe this game tells us anything overall, other than 'Coventry lose away games'. Every defeat since around November has had people saying we're now League One-bound.

As important as this game is, this won't define whether we stay up or go down. Let's not start pretending that an away defeat in a season filled with them is somehow the final death knell.

This is nervy. Normally when I'm watching webcam quality video and sweating this much there are fewer men on screen.

We've had the lions share of possession by the sounds of things so far.
