    Evans

    There isn’t really a comparison between Ferguson and Evans in terms of the way they conduct themselves. We were sat opposite the dug outs last night. We don’t usually notice the managers, home or away unless we purposely look across that way. With Evans, you couldn’t miss him because of his...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Peterborough United Match Thread - Friday 23rd Nov

    I thought we played really well in both halves. Agree that Hiwula didn’t do much but I felt all of the others mentioned had lively games. Some of the football we played last night was excellent. Another game in the long list of games this season that goes in the should have won category.

    Home defeat to Everton in the relegation season I think. He had a terrible game.

    Another good debut was Chris Cattlin’s. He was signed, along with Ernie Hunt, a few days before we played Man Utd at home for the first time in the First division. The main Stand had just burnt down, there was a crowd of 48k in the stadium and Chris marked George Best,who a few months later...

    Neil Martin. Scored a hat trick I think.Was it against Sheffield Wednesday? It would have been in 1968 anyway.

    League of shame (fan arrests 17/18)

    I was in the stand at the side yesterday. There was a lot of complaints about those standing stopping children further up the stand seeing. I have to say that I don’t understand why anyone would stand at a game like that when standing on the terrace was an option. If you know that fellow...

    Bakayoko

    Both were subs who came on and scored. So effective subs are only those who make sure the team draw or win? I think the criteria should be did a substitution positively affect the team. Biamou and Ponticelli both made a positive impact. How does the impact of Robin’s substitutions compare with...

    What last season meant to Coventry fans

    Been supporting this club for nearly 52 years but the Notts game stands out as a special, special night particularly as I was there with two of my boys who, in their City supporting lives, have seen mainly abject failure. Finally showed we could achieve.

    Bakayoko

    Off the top of my head: Biamou and Nazon subs in first game v Notts, both assisted goals. Nazon, Shipley both scored at Luton, Reid made Biamou’s equaliser at Newport, both subs. Biamou 2 against Yeovil, came on as a sub Biamou sub at Crawley, changed game Ponticelli at Notts County Even against...

    Bakayoko

    There were lots of occasions last season when he brought on subs who made a difference. I think the “Robins makes poor substitutions” is a myth.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Accrington Stanley Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Nov

    Funny how people see things differently. I think that his last two appearances, yesterday and against Doncaster, have been steps backwards on earlier performances. I thought it was good that, despite not playing well, he produced a telling moment, his cross shot, that lead to the goal. I would...

    Now vs Then

    The only criteria that I use to judge a player is how he plays on the pitch. The only social media site I use is this one where, as far as II know, players don’t post. I wouldn’t know who posts what on Twitter etc unless it is put up on here. I didn’t agree with the comments on how bad a player...

    I don’t know why this guy is suspended, red card or accumulation of yellows, but it seems it Could have a negative effect on Accrington’s performance on Saturday (hopefully). I don’t know if it is a conscious thing or has just happened, but I don’t think we are near a suspension for any of our...

    Bakayoko was being written off even before he had played.

    Amadou Bakayoko

    Comments from you in the Charlton thread WelIl done robins. He spends weeks chasing a goal scorer - in the meantime signs two players who aren’t good enough to play - and now his big signing is looking like a dud. This one when someone comments that Bakayoko and Hiwula are coming on and JCH is...

    March to the Arch

    Wouldn’t that be a bad result for us? We aren’t going to top the league so second is best we can do. Therefore, don’t we want Arsenal to win the league? if this result stays as it is, we finish above Cheltenham if we beat them. We would then want Arsenal to beat FG or a narrow win for FG and we...

    No, not joking. I thought he was a really whole hearted player, tigerish in the tackle and a little unlucky to be released.I hope he gets the chance to play league football again.
