    Tom Bayliss

    It is very early days to judge, but so far, and based on yesterday’s game, I like the way he’s always looking to get on the front foot, and the way he drives forward with the ball. He looks to be the sort of player who really wants to make something happen, rather than just retain possession...

    The Duck

    You’re giving Nazon too much credit. I don’t believe for a minute that his mind worked like that. He was purely playing selfishly.

    Match Thread Carlisle United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 30th Dec

    I thought we played very well today. First half was quite flat, we were against the wind and held them quite comfortably, just one scare after a bit of a scramble. In the second half, we dominated possession and played some really good football. We played through them well along the ground, and...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I like the way we can always rely on Grendel to pour oil on troubled waters...

    Ordered our tickets today, a home match for us, just 35 miles from our home in Hexham. They wouldn’t post them, so they’re supposed to be arriving on a supporter’s coach. I’m a bit nervous of this, the last time I was supposed to pick up tickets was Fleetwood away last season, and they never...

    Our Away support v The Championship

    I went to an away game at Leeds with a friend from school, early Feb, season 68/69, we lost 3-0 (Clarke, Bremner, Giles, Hunter, Charlton etc). We stood with the 50 or so City fans that were there, and towards the end of the game, a load of Leeds fans came from their shed end (as happened at...

    Oh blimey Otis, that’s tough. I think most people in this country would have a different view, although it doesn’t mean to say we’re right! I see that they’ve barred Navalny from running next year, it’s hard to see anybody beating Putin until he’s ready to go himself. Sorry to go off piste!

    Yeh, I always consider myself lucky, as well as God knows how many years of hurt, I had 3 or 4 years from 1963, when we used to roll teams over at home, won two promotions, and it was often a matter of not whether we would win but by how many. There’s been a few good times after those halcyon...

    Tell you what Otis, a bit off post, but have a look at our results for 66/67, our famous promotion season. We lost at Huddersfield on November 19, and that was the last time we lost that season. 25 games, 15 wins, 10 draws, and we only won the league on the last game of the season! How much...

    I may think you’re wrong sometimes, but you’re a passionate Cov fan and that’s good enough for me - and I love it when love and peace breaks out between you and Otis!

    One of my favourite festive games

    Boxing Day 1969. Cov 3 Ipswich 1. Goal scorers Ernie Hunt, Neil Martin and an own goal. Attendance 32,755. My last game as a Cov kid living in Coventry, two days later my Mum and Dad dragged me screaming and kicking to a new life in deepest, darkest Norfolk. You can take the kid out of Cov, but...

    Biamou

    Yes, I read this and thought that Biamou is here for the longer term and will continue to play. I’m happy to accept what Robins says and we should stick with him. There is a good player in there. Remember, many posters on here would have shipped McNulty out, and although we shouldn’t get carried...
