The problem is what happens between now ant significant roll out of the vaccine. Two/three months when the virus could run amok.

Just thinking the same myself. 40,000+ cases in the past 24 hours, another national lockdown (perhaps by another name) in the New Year. Football paused? Wouldn’t bet against it.

Sorry, cocked that up a bit!🤬 I know he’s not always popular on this forum, but as we’ve been talking about the 60’s, it was great, at the time, to see a Cov kid tearing up the second division. This article taken from the Saturday Times.

Yep, Jimmy Hill used to regularly remind the players that they could set the mood in the car factories for the following week , by the way we played on the Saturday. I remember coming back into Cov station on Sky Blue Specials, and there were big signs saying ‘Welcome to Coventry, City of Skills...

Yes, I get the feeling he would be quite low key, a modest man, given his skill, a tremendous midfield player. Signed by Jimmy Hill (one of his first signings I think?) because ‘I liked his blue eyes’... Must have been interesting to chat to.

Too many of my boyhood heroes no longer with us, Ian Gibson, Ernie Machin, Ernie Hunt, and now George Hudson. 60’s Cov, a great period to live through, many good memories.

The first League game I saw, 6th April 1963, aged 7. Cov 5 Halifax 4, and yes, a debut hatrick for George. He was a hero, when Jimmy Hill sold him to Northampton, rumour had it that a couple of coaches of City fans went to Northampton to watch him. Maybe an urban myth, unless anyone knows...

I agree, most of us would have taken this position nearly halfway through the season. I’m just a bit worried that we won’t be able to keep clean sheets indefinitely. You’re right about the tactics, that’s presumably why McCallum is getting the nod over Giles, stronger defensively(?) and...

But, if we don’t score goals, how soon will it be that we start to lose games 1-0, as we did at Wednesday? We may stay up on 0-0 draws, if teams below us don’t get points, but a few goals and wins would help! We’ve had injuries which haven’t helped. We know that Godden can take chances, but...

O’Hare made some really poor decisions when in good positions today, and hasn’t been particularly creative. Ryan Giles can run past players and has a sweet left foot. I would start him, and bring O’Hare on as an impact sub.

I may be wrong here, but the impression I get is that you rarely comment on players, apart from Biamou, where you’re constantly looking to snipe. It’s a bit tiresome......

Yeh, lost count of the times we’ve been turned over at Preston. Who was that who scored the 96th minute equaliser for us with a thunderbolt?

Happy Christmas bonnie lads and lasses, from the People’s Republic of North East England (where it’s snowing).

Yes, Chilton and Wagstaff, they look a couple of handy lads in the photograph, Chilton got a fag on. Seems like a hundred years ago. Do any pro’s smoke now?

That’s true, but an important lesson for Laura to learn there.

Yes, that’s right, a decent football mag.

Yep, but they looked a decent side to me, and their results since then have proved it.

That’s why we need Giles in the team. He is the only player we have who can run past opposing players. Feel sorry for Walker, he’s not even feeding off scraps.

I’d forgotten that he’d played for us, for a very short while before he was injured. Another ex player suffering from dementia.
