    Match Thread Coventry City - Crawley Town Match Thread - Saturday 25th Nov

    Don't think it is justified at any time. I hate it when we do it to. The only way to stamp it out is if referees add all of the time wasted back on. Today's two minutes in the first half and six in the second was no compensation for what Crawley did. First time I have seen that from the physio...

    Fans forum with Mark Robins tonight

    He was very impressive. Good to hear that he isn't a rant and shout merchant at half time but actually talks to the players and advises on how they can improve. I remember watching Peter Reid give his half time team talk in the documentary on Sunderland and thinking it was very similar to lots...

    Jones Injury

    The idea mentioned earlier of playing three at the back with Grimmer and Haynes as wingbacks might be an option. I don't like the wing back system as it always seems to produce sterile performances. However, both Haynes and Grimmer are athletic characters, both can carry the ball and both have a...

    Has he considered resigning Frank Moussa considering our lack of creativity, particularly with Andreu' s injury.

    Blackpool FC up for sale

    While agreeing that the Oystons seem completely despicable people, when they leave Blackpool the club's infrastructure will still be in place. When Sisu go it is probable we will have no ground, no training ground and no academy. All things they are responsible for losing and major areas for new...

    You could be right! Might have got the two transfers mixed up.

    Martin Johansen

    Jose Perdomo was on loan for a few games and really looked the part. I remember him playing at Villa Park and running the show.

    Disagree. Alderson came through the youth system and when he first broke into the team he was played as a winger. Only later on did he play as a striker. When Stein and Hutch arrived, we were transformed that season playing wonderful football until Wolves knocked us out of the Cup in the 6th...

    I think that might have been against Newcastle. He had a heavily bandaged leg, could hardly walk but still managed to head home a far post header at the West End. The game was televised but can't find it on YouTube.

    Stewards at the CCFC-WBA game

    I went to the game with my son and a friend. We paid on the gate and were given tickets for seats which weren't together. Should we have sat in three different parts of the block? When we came out of the stadium we had to pass through an arc of stewards who looked like they were marshalling a...

    Colin Stein's only English club was Coventry. Therefore if he didn't cut it in England, he didn't with us. That simply isn't true. Stein was a class player for us forming a formidable partnership with Brian Alderson and playing his part in one of the most exciting Coventry teams I have seen. The...

    I really liked Dublin, great player for us and probably, along with Oggy, the reason we survived some of those relegation battles. However, Hutch was wonderful, worth the admission money just to go and see him play. As for saying he had lots of poor games, I would totally disagree. His...

    Luton Forum

    What struck me from some of the comments was the amount of stick their manager was getting. They were top of the league, leading scorers, second best defensive record, on the back of a nine game unbeaten run having scored 8 I think in two league games this season and he was still being berated...

    Copthorne Park

    I went to Binley Park. We used to lose every game we played against Caludon! We did beat Copthorne however as I remember. Two schools long since gone.

    Copthorne Park

    I was driving along Tamworth Road today and so stoppped to have a look. I must admit I was really surprised at the size of the park. I knew the Copthorne bit was there as this is visible from the road. I didn't realise that the parkland extends all of the way back up to Waste Lane. My first...

    Didn't think this was one of Burge's best games. Made a couple of vital saves but there were a couple of mistakes too which he has mainly eliminated from his game this season. I also didn't think that this was one of Vincenti's best games. Beaten in the air quite a lot and several mis placed...
