    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Preston North End Match Thread - Wednesday 31st Aug

    Genuinely really looking forward to tonight. It’s been a long time since the pre match routine, excitement as we walk down the towpath and then the buzz around the ground. As others have said; I hope it’s that way tonight. We need to re-create the excellent atmosphere of last year and that...

    Club update

    Seven pages on and how many years down the line and we’re still having the same conversation and same old arguments. Interesting there’s some posters loving these threads, who are barely seen on the actual football related ones. If we want to try and take a positive from the statement, it’s...

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    It’s a shit one, but before we completely lose the plot let’s see where we stand on Thursday morning. If we’ve still got Gyokeres and COH, plus a Hyam replacement perhaps the relegation fodder narrative some are keen to push can be dropped. Anyway isn’t defence our weakest area, getting rid of...

    Checked out the selection at Morrisons today in an attempt to find an “interesting” beer in the local area (no decent bottle shops nearby). And how my bank holidays have changes since having kids! Picked up a few semi interesting ones. Had a West Coast Pale by ShinDigger - a new brewery for me...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Hull City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Aug

    Talk of ‘relegation fodder’ and ‘relegation season ahead’ across this forum I assume (and hope) are reactionary comments fuelled by an emotive few days. We have lost two games due to individual errors, and unfortunately from a position where they often directly result in goals. We haven’t been...

    Goalkeepers

    He’s had a horrendous start to the season, but we shouldn’t forget how reliable he was last year. Like the rest of the team were seeing the results of a lack of game time. And that big gap between Millwall and yesterday can’t have been great mentally. Don’t understand the calls to drop him...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Hull City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Aug

    Everyone has their own agendas and views on who is to blame. Whatever way you spin it, our landlords not providing a pitch for us to play has massively screwed us over and today is evidence of that. We’re still just coming out of pre-season, the rest of the league are miles ahead of us match...

    If we end up getting something after going behind three times, and by two, surely it has to be good for team morale and overall momentum.

    You can’t really account for individual mistakes and that cost us last game and so far today. On the bright side, it’s that that is costing us as opposed to us being miles off other teams. Conversely I don’t know how you stop it. Especially with Moore as Wilson is worse.

    Ryan Woods is such a dirty (and shit) player. Really hope someone give him a tough time today. I just can’t see who in that starting XI will. Perhaps Allen buzzing around him will be enough to wind him up.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Hull City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Aug

    Palmer surely has to see today as an opportunity to prove his ability. Really hoping he takes it. I’ve honestly never understood the previous buzz around Rose. Saying that he’s shown glimpses that he does have potential. Let’s hope he also sees today as a chance to impress. With Gyokeres in...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Hull City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Aug

    After the saga of the last few weeks, exacerbated by some of the rumours of outgoings on here the last few days. This goes one of two ways - no middle ground; 1) We play brilliantly and win, and suddenly things aren’t quite as bad. We have a pitch again on Wednesday, Gyokeres, Hamer, COH, Sheaf...

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    It’s mental how much you’re revelling in the negativity of this thread. Also mental how you reference me but don’t tag me - I don’t spend my life on here, so God knows where else you’ve done the same and I’ve not seen it. It’s sweet though tbf.

    Transfer Shouts

    We all know this forum is overly emotional which can translate into pessimism. I usually ignore it. This quote from our Manager however, does have me worrying about what’s to come. Hyam is a bad one to lose, Gyokeres is season changing.

    Dom Hyam - Blackburn bid ?

    Mr Reliable, and a player I don’t think we’ll truly realise how good he is for us until he’s gone. He’s had a great rise with us, and he continues to improve. I don’t want him to go, especially as Rose is nowhere near where he needs to be - and hasn’t been for a long time. He’s a big player...

    Transfer Shouts

    Depressing tones on here are OTT. As it stands nobody has gone. Palmer will be a good addition, but granted it’s embarrassing he’s not fit. Panzo is still early days but certainly reasons to be hopeful that he’s better than a very average JCS. Maatsen is a loss but maybe there’s signs...

    Transfer Shouts

    Take it you weren’t a fan the pre-season we signed Andre Wright, Dan Agyei, Michael Folivi and Charles Vernam then?

    New brewery for me tonight; Cruz Blanca - Palm Shade - tropical hazy IPA. Very nice, and dangerous at 5.8% as doesn’t taste that strong!!

    Premier League thread

    It’s mad how poor Trent is defensively. I don’t watch much Premier League stuff as I don’t really care that much unless it’s Cov/England, but whenever I’ve seen him he’s poor.

    AJ v Usyk

    Not too sure how I feel about that. Liked the sentiment it was just a little cringeworthy. Possibly part of a retirement goodbye.
