    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    I did wonder if Robins brought JCH on yesterday as much for his defensive qualities as his attacking ones. Charlton won 4 headers in our box for their goal. If JCH had of been on the pitch would we have conceded?

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Charlton Athletic Match Thread - Wednesday 26th Dec

    Play like that I still think we can make the play offs. Might depend on whether Thomas can play for us again.

    Disallowed Goal

    Just mentioned this in the video thread. JCH was offside, but when Chaplin shot, made no move to get the ball. The keeper saved the shot but pushed it forwards and out to JCH who scored. Wouldn’t this constitute a new phase of play making JCH onside as he shot? Asking the question, don’t know...

    Video Shrewsbury v Coventry

    Wasn’t the consensus that Forte’s goal was wrongly disallowed?

    Video Shrewsbury v Coventry

    I thought they might show the disallowed goal. Watching yesterday, Chaplin’s shot was heading goalwards, JCH, in an offside position makes no move to go for it. The keeper saves, but pushes it out to JCH who scores. Would this not constitute a second phase of play, therefore JCH being onside as...

    A way out of signing Chaplin?

    He’ll get them back as soon as he starts scoring regularly which I think he will.

    Coventry's best ever manager?

    Ahh. Thanks for that. Should have loooked them up before commenting.

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    A friend of my son came with us to the Stoke game last season. This guy lives in Tamworth and attends the occasional Wasps game. Now the atmosphere was really crackling during this match with only 14k in attendance. That atmosphere continued after the game as people were leaving the stadium...

    Coventry's best ever manager?

    It is hard to look past the managers who actually won things so JH and John Sillett would have to be bat the top of the list, particularly Jimmy Hill for the way he totally transformed the club. My favourite manager though was Gordon Milne. He signed my favourite ever City player, Tommy...

    Boxing day game

    Are you saying that the rats in Holbrooks(furry variety, not Tim or Wasps) are not up to the disease spreading mark? A slur on the good name of North Coventry rats.

    Boxing day game

    Yes but before you could swim the canal you have to climb one or even two of the 6 foot fences of the industrial units on the Blackburn Road side of the canal. I'm not even sure what's on the Ricoh side. However, you have shamed me. When you see a wet, bedraggled 60 something with torn and...

    On match days I think it is two hours.

    Chaplin question?

    I really liked Lucas. He didn’t score enough goals but was a really good player at Championship level.

    Boxing day game

    If you park in Tesco’s you will need to have spent £50 and have kept the receipt in case you get issued a ticket. I have parked there for four or five games since they introduced cameras and have been given a parking notice twice. Providing you send off a picture of your receipt you are okay. I...

    Unsettling News

    Results have been poor. With the exception of yesterday, performances have been okay. I did thing it was odd that Robins, when questioned about a new contract for Burge at the Leamington Warwick meeting was very laid back. The club haven’t approached Burge. Burge hasn’t approached the club. If...

    Abuse of players by fans

    I don’t disagree. Everyone moans and groans. The players do at their team mates. The screaming in players faces, the hate filled comments to our players or another team’s is a completely different matter.

    Abuse of players by fans

    I was at the Warwick and Leamington supporters forum this week. While Robins in particular (really articulate and thoughtful answers), but also Grimmer and Hyam came across very well, I have to say I disagreed with Grimmer when he was asked how it felt like to be on the end of crowd abuse. He...

    Abuse of players by fans

    At the game yesterday I was thinking how the demographic of the crowd in no way reflected that of the players on the pitch. While at least a third of the players were non- white, in the part of the Bescot where I was, there were no black or Asian faces. Why is that? There must be a reason why...
