They really were poor in the first half, and frankly, to have nicked a goal before halftime was a minor victory for them. We're a team who's never lost from a winning position, so going 2-0 down in the first half was suicidal for them. Despite is righteous indignation in the press, Nolan surely...

Don’t be a sore winner man, it’s worse than being a sore loser.

How optimistic of you the day after we reach the playoff finals... Our whole team is under contract, Robins has already said he isn't selling McNulty, so it's going to take a big bid to prise him away from us. Moreover, we still have Andreu and Jones to come back too, so I think we're in good...

Thank you for your congratulations. I can empathise with you and your fans because you had some pretty poor decisions against you, in your position, I'd be frustrated too. I like the England-Germany comparison, however, even if the equaliser was allowed, we probably would've still went on to...

Top marks for Robins and his staff, we’re one game away from L1. We’ve done that without our best player and potentially another key player. I’ve got a feeling it’s our year.

Perfect fit for us. We try to play less ‘route one’ football like some of our rivals (Lincoln and Notts County), and he’s the perfect midfielder for this league. Has the determination to get a limb on every loose ball, tackles hard, but most importantly, is a brilliant captain. We were really...

There’s a lot more to come from JCH. With a full preseason under his belt with us, and full season, I’m backing him to do well. I had that feeling about Biamou, and thankfully, my instinct was right (it has been wrong on many occasions, e.g. Adam Barton).

I remember that game all too well. You’re right though, it certainly increases the pressure, but, more often than not, a ‘home field’ advantage is more of an advantage than disadvantage. A lot has been said by other teams about our ‘inexperience’, but I think our young players are fearless...

The way he’s played since Newport, he’s made himself a clear-cut first choice strike partner to McNulty. As for last night, he really was brilliant, won most his flick ons, took a beating, but he scored a cracker to send us 1-0 up and a well placed finish to end the game at 3-1. After taking a...

You’re misrepresenting my point entirely. My point is we could have an advantage going into this game because we could outnumber their support roughly 2 to 1. Which could give this game a home game ‘feel’ to it. Home-field advantage is a phenomenon that is observable in every sport, be it...

We were, and I'll leave a quote from Nolan post-game for everyone to marvel in: “To go out like we have over the two legs is really disappointing because it has not been of our own doing. “We had them right on the ropes and I feel aggrieved because three massive decisions over the last two...

This isn't the regular season anymore, the same trends don't apply and they'd be stupid to underestimate us based on those assumptions. I agree that their dismantling of Lincoln was impressive, but, Notts County lost two games at home and we went and smashed them 4-1, I'd say that's a more...

You can pick faults with all our goals if you look at it from a defensive point of view: 1) Willis lost his marker for a free header, and whilst Biamou’s finish was top quality, it was poor defending from set play. 2) As soon as we attack, defence folds in and drops deep straight away and...

Classic siege mentality. Even if they’d brought it back to 2-2, we still would have won. They came out all guns blazing and we weathered the storm and after that they had nothing. If he’s truthful, which I hope he will be in private, their defence was poor. They gave us far too much space and...

Burge, 8 - pulled off some very good saves, handled everything that came his way with ease Grimmer, 7 - culpable for their first, but was a good attacking threat and made a good slide tackle on their LB to prevent a repeat of last week Hyam, 8 - very well played, he's unlucky to have not started...

I wonder if you were amongst the County fans singing 'the Notts are going up' when you went 1-0 up at the RICOH... Feel silly? Also, shame about the Hilton, at least now you can advertise them now you're on a Coventry City fans forum! Any takers for this man's hotel booking? p.s. next time, do...

The referee had a good game imo. The same cannot be said for his assistants...

Grimmer is very suspect defensively, and for some reason, it goes under the radar. Even for Biamou's goal, he was marginally offside when he got the ball on the wing, the rest was shocking defending, he had three defenders around him giving him all the time in the world to get his shot off his...

I think Nolan will be righteously frustrated with the match officials, the penalty, disallowed goal and our 3rd shouldn’t have been. However, over two legs, we were good value for the draw and were certainly head and shoulders above them tonight. The linesmen were terrible, and thankfully that...

Probably the best half I’ve seen us play this season, such a shame we conceded that goal at the end of the half. We were in complete control, on every 2nd ball, Biamou winning most flick ons, McNulty looks on fire and the midfield has bossed this game. Let’s get a third and end this game.
