    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford United Match Thread - Saturday 7th Feb

    The issues with our back 4 are mostly down to instruction from our coaching staff. Da Silva and Van Ewijk are constantly caught out of position up field as sometimes are the centre backs as they are sent forward for set pieces as they are the only decent headers of the ball. Our centre backs...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford United Match Thread - Saturday 7th Feb

    Got tickets for this and looking forward to a day in Cov. Match wise…..this could easily ruin the day. The crowd will be expecting a win and that’s always a bad thing. It will negatively affect the atmosphere . If we’re winning , people will be blasé, anything else and it will start to get a bit...

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    I’ve always shouted out for another striker, 2 skinny wingers, another who isn’t fit and cost a packet and now this guy wasn’t my idea of a superb window. We have to face facts though Doug ain’t gonna bust the club and you can’t blame him for that either. The demise is more on the tactics ( and...

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    Please forgive my musings but is a player coming in on those terms really committing to the cause. ‘ I’ll give it a whirl cos I can’t get a game at Brentford but if it goes tits up and you don’t get promoted, it’s not really my problem ‘ If we play the same stupid system, he’ll just be another...

    What was your first game

    My Grandad used to go with his Dad in the 1930’s and watched Clarrie Bourton. He used to tell a story often about when they played Luton and 10 goal Payne, the Luton striker I think. He said his Dad got into a row with with an away fan and pushed him down the bank. Must have been the beginnings...

    Who do we think we are?

    You’re right there, according to the TV coverage I watched yesterday Rushworth has stopped more goal bound chances than any other keeper in the championship. Speaks volumes for how open and vulnerable we have become. We have to change the set up , numerous recent performances have shown things...

    How much longer?

    We’re still not a wealthy club, we’re loss making as it is. We have actually spent a fair few quid, just not on the right players it feels. We can’t afford to sack FL and we would look entitled if we did with us being top. However, if we’re not going to completely fuck this up then Doug is going...

    Who do we think we are?

    People aren’t expressing hate. Most are flabbergasted as to how a team has gone from looking like beating anyone every game , to a team looking like they could be beaten by anyone! Everyone wants to see order restored and our manager to stop looking like a rabbit in the headlights.

    Match Thread Queens Park Rangers - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Jan

    Every player needs to look at himself after the last few weeks. Petulance and suspensions, lack of responsibility etc. For me though, it’s quite simple, these lads need redirection from the manager with new tactics . Our former efforts took a lot of teams by surprise but opponents sit back and...

    Position still good, momentum and morale shocking though, especially away. Plus you have to say we haven’t really played that well since Bristol City.

    The defenders need to be adjusted to defend again, instead of roving too far up field and losing the ball. They are not individually that bad but it’s hard to defend well when you’ve had to run 50 yards to get back into position. This downturn in form I’m afraid is us being found out and our...

    Just A Blip?

    We got worse when our reputed two best players came back to the fold. One couldn’t score to save his life for umpteen games and the other demands the ball all game , loses it and leaves holes all over the midfield. BTA was a big loss too but now the clown is out again. Thus far in the window...

    On the surface of things it looks like a pretty good team and bench. Just hope to fuck they’re not getting revved up to get into personal physical battles with their direct opponents. Keep the ball on the deck and play the sexy football that got us into this good position. If there’s not a...

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    If we continue to go completely gung ho all out attacking style, we could be signing King Kong and the opposition will just pass round him and be gone anyway.

    Asante 3 match ban incoming

    It has become very noticeable in the last month or two that we have become a lot more aggressive all round as a team. We have players pushing and shoving opponents and throwing the odd arm around……why ? It’s not benefitted us at all, our results have dipped and it has detracted from the fabulous...

    Sure I’ve read Da Silva is 5, 7 somewhere….looks more like 4 ft 7” on a bad day.
