    I honestly don’t get this mentality. There’s even a little kid in there too FFS. Genuinely tragic stuff.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Stoke City Match Thread - Saturday 8th Mar

    Excellent reading back through the thread this morning. Celebrations for the Thomas goal are probably up there in my top 10. Did it a little differently yesterday and had a box with a few school mates, half of whom aren’t Cov fans. But every single one of them was going as mental as me when he...

    EMC and MVE injured. And we hamstrung ourselves bringing BTA on. This will be a well earned win.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Even taking away the frankly quite shocking content and the things being said in that interview, Vance seems a smug little tosser. He absolutely seems one of those full of self importance and a ‘do you know who I am types’ who, if he wasn’t in politics, would be a nobody.

    Rudoni injury

    Re Torp stepping up, I really think it depends how we play. If the midfield is two 6’s and a 10, with him at 10, that isn’t ideal. One 6 and two 8’s suits him better, but then you have the issue of Sheaf playing 8, which doesn’t really suit him. Big fan of Torp as I appreciate good technical...

    We started really well and I honestly thought it would be the game we really put someone to the sword. We dropped off quite a lot post 25/30 minutes and I’m not entirely sure why - missing Rudoni’s movement? It was clear he wasn’t right. But we battled through, showed good commitment and...

    Allen for Eccles a no brainer at this point surely?

    Re-iterate this first bit, we look so so vulnerable down their right/our left side. Also, get Eccles off, not his fault but he cannot be expected to be the ‘attacking’ one in a midfield three.

    All their attacks are down the Kitching/Bidwell channel. That’s a fucking wank pen.

    Eccles being asked to play a role he isn’t technically able to. Not sure who fills that creative role. Paterson not match fit, possibly Allen? Albeit even with three “defensive” midfielders we can’t control the game.

    Sheaf, Grimes, Eccles - who’s playing as the most offensive? It should be solid, disciplined and two of the three are especially great on the ball, but definitely not a Rudoni like for like. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Allen or Paterson at 60/65 minutes.

    Sakamoto already booked and pulled up for another foul. Nothing is ever straightforward for us, could todays bump be he is unfairly sent off?!

    Sakamoto had one purple patch he’s never going to get back to hey?

    Great team and squad, we have to expect a win. That isn’t being disrespectful or complacent, we’re the better team, with an impact bench and we’re on form. Interesting test for Bassette’s maturity and professionalism, as well as FL’s man management skills!

    The final table prediction...top 6 or not?

    We’ll make the play offs now. And we won’t just scrape in either. We have form, momentum and three of our best players returning. Plus a decent run (on paper!). Not massively into the rivalry but just because they are, I’d love Sunderland to drop out completely. And for the Wilder, Hamer, COH...

    Evil Fuckers

    Wish I hadn’t opened this thread and read about him. I know it’s been discussed on here previously, and personally I see both sides, but this is a stonewall case for the death penalty. No way back into Society for someone like him.

    Cov v Stoke

    Fans want to show appreciation for a manager who gave a lot of us our best memories as a Coventry fan. He took us from one of the worst squads ever assembled and an ultimately horrendous season in L1, to an established Championship club consistently expected to challenge for promotion. I have...

    Will having Haji Wright back throw us off?

    Wright Simms EMC (right to left) Is a pretty exciting front three. Especially with the creativity and passing ability of Rudoni, Torp, Grimes, Sheaf behind them. And with Sakamoto/BTA/Bassette to come on when one of three tire.

    Team camaraderie is absolutely back. And Rudoni is such a good character to have around the squad.
