    A message to all sky blues fans

    My favourite City goal.

    Songs that bear no relationship to reality

    Never really understood why Gary Breen. Not the best centre half we ever had. I suppose Breen rhymes with dream better than Hutch does.

    They were still magic though!

    I was at the game last night. Haynes played well both in defence and attack. Played some nice balls forward to both the midfield and forward players.

    In the home game they won lots of free kicks all over the pitch which were launched to the edge of our penalty area where they had 5 or 6 players challenging for it. A unique style! We need to try not to give needless freekicks away.

    Evans’s Behaviour

    We were behind the goalposts, but a little to the right as you looked at the pitch, about 5 or 6 rows back.

    Tic, Toc, Tic, Toc

    Some managers are a good fit at certain clubs but not at others. I think this is the case with Robins here. It is certainly the case with Coleman at Accrington. In his second spell there. When he left the first time to take over at Rochdale he was sacked after only a year. Now into his fourth...

    Evans’s Behaviour

    Sounds like a description of some of our “fans”. Same day, same place different experience for you and for me.

    Doyle - yellow cards

    Doyle is a clever player. He spoke about the booking on the radio and more or less said that he knows what to do to avoid a second yellow and getting sent off. He will do well to avoid another booking before the next cut off point( if there is one) but it wouldn’t surprise me if he managed it.

    Evans’s Behaviour

    How do you know? Same topic as MK and Brighton I know, but the morons standing in front of us weren’t too nice. Constant abuse of the Mansfield fans (it’s not banter it’s just abuse) and the Mansfield stewards, hardly watching the game. One of them deliberately stamped on his seat until it...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Again it is all about opinions but I would agree with his comments on the FGR match. I thought that they were up for it more, were quicker in the tackle, won more second balls. I don’t think it was a case of not trying by us More of a less determined state of mind. Strachan used to say that the...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    We all have opinions about games, tactics and about players. That’s as it should be. However to categorically state that Robin’s view of a game is way off is a bold statement. This is a man whose whole working life has been in football. No doubt he will have been connected to Man Utd as a...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Mansfield Town Match Thread - Saturday 24th Feb

    Unusually for us this season, I felt we started strongly at Swindon and could have been 3 up before they took the lead. We were hanging on at the end though.

    Match Thread Coventry City at Mansfield Town Match Thread - Saturday 24th Feb

    Despite the poor performances in many games this season, there have been only two league games where I felt we deserved to lose. One was the Accrington home game where we were easily beaten, the other was home to Mansfield where I felt they shaded it. (I wasn't at Morecambe). I think we will...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    I was at Forest Green (seen all but two games this season). Some of the football has been poor. We have been too defensive. Despite all the negatives I would still want him to stay and build again next season.

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    It’s keeping a manager who has brought in his own team and for three quarters of the season (don’t know what will happen in the final quarter) has kept us in contention. If you could guarantee that manager number 11 of the Sisu reign was going to be successful I would be with you. The truth is...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    I would keep him for next season, yes. If you look at his record when he took over Rotherham in this league I think he fulfills your criteria.

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Who would you want the club to try to get in to replace him? Who do you see as better than him?

    Should we name and shame

    True unfortunately.
