    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    In which case I would take any of those. Or even Posh as the Villa result was as statistically unlikely as us winning. A pointless thrashing away to a Prem club away is to be avoided, regardless of the pay day. A run to the 5th Round would be dandy for morale and a little money. For everyone...

    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    Peterborough away. The odds surely favour us being drawn away - we have had 3 in a row at home. Therefore I want the most winnable away game. I think Posh are the lowest ranked team before us still left in. Replay, win at home then drawn again at home against a Prem side, going out with honour...

    Does Robbins chop and change to much?

    Knowl has posted on Twitter about the number of changes made by Robbins being a problem, and a reason for disappointment. Venture to differ V Notts County August 2017: O'Brien: Grimmer Hyam McDonald Stokes: Vincenti Kelly Doyle Jones: McNulty Beavon The ideal starting line-up would have had...

    Match Thread Port Vale - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    Last game involved a fluke and a dodgy penalty, so lets not get carried away. It could have been all doom and gloom on here for the last few days. Not withstanding that as the couple of games have involved more goals for and against than typically previously, has Robbins changed the plan? One...

    On the TV highlights, you can see Burge is lightning quick at getting back on his feet when their header hist the bar. He takes the second effort comfortably standing up

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Oct

    Would have preferred the defensively more solid Stokes to Haynes for such a tough opponent. Seems odd to gamble when it is a tough game and not against easier opponents like Colchester at home. Almost willing it to fail. Equally but would have preferred Nazon to McNulty Glad Vincenti is in...

    Nobody yet has tonked the back 4 of Grimmer McDonald Willis Stokes with Kelly and Doyle in front ...for all the fact that all bar MacD have attracted plenty of criticism, and even MacD got some for his performance at Barnet. This is their toughest challenge and the game for Robbins has to...

    Phone in Tonight - Potentially something "big"

    It all seems a bit far fetched to me. All the stuff above about why did he not use proper communications channels seems right, unless you are a part time gambler who just happens to have struck big and so don't know the rules of the game. The odds must be stacked against

    A draw will do fine, preferably 0-0 - to keep the clean sheet thing going.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    Pretty well all modern stadiums are bowls. This maximizes the capacity but removes the sense of shape - the West End, the Kop etc etc.

    Plan B - Have we got one this year?

    Agreed - Stokes seemed very sound today. If anything it was the much vaunted MacDonald who was caught out a couple of times

    A draw. And that would be fine. Curious to know where Andreu would have fitted in the current winning set up - in place of DKE I suppose, but he's not a flanker

    Match Thread Barnet - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 7th Oct

    Interesting that the team is more settled than at any time in the recent past. If the Duck was playing there would only be one query DKE or Vincenti. This can be a bad thing but in this case I think not. If you have a shed load of new players (only Stokes, Jones, Beavan and Willis among the...
