It's obviously wrong to blame the fans for what's happening to our club, but I do think, that given the size of our city, to say that 8,000 fans is good is wide of the mark. That's not to be critical of those 8,000, but it isn't evidence of a strong fan base. It's a result of many, many years of...

Ernie Machin was an excellent player, and didn Ernie Machin was an excellent player and key to our success in the mid 60's. Didn't J H say he'd signed him because he liked his blue eyes?

I'm sure that Foley will be a good player/squad member for us, but I agree, I thought Willis played well on Saturday and would be unfortunate to lose his place. Did Foley get a knock on Saturday?

Yes!!

Yes, it was the worst I've seen us play for a long, long time. Can't remember the last time I saw a Cov team play so little football. We had no creativity, and hardly strung 3 passes together. The ball did spend the majority of the time I'm the air, which played into Chesterfield's hands. It was...

I went to the game today full of optimism, new manager, new players, some recent decent results - and what a reality check! We were really poor today, I can't remember a game when we played so little football. It was an awful game, any football that was played was played by Chesterfield, and...

That's hard to argue, Ian Gibson and Willie Carr two of my heroes. Macallister was a really good player, we should have offered him a two year contract and we may not have been relegated. Mickey Gynn gave us great service, as did Ooh Ah Lloyd McGrath. I'd also give a shout to Gordon Strachan...

I worked in New Ollerton for a while, lived in Boughton, it was a hard area and Mansfield a hard town, but I loved the people.

Am I wrong in thinking that it took Dion a couple of years to get going? And in that time he was not that reliable in front of goal - lacked confidence? Then scored that great goal at Tottenham to keep us in the premier, and went from strength to strength. Bellamy missed so many chances in the...

I'm not sure, I think there's ability there.

Thanks, appreciate your thoughts, and we WILL be back! Good luck over the remainder of the season (I was at the '88 cup game)

In 1973 I was living near Norwich and playing football most Saturdays. Our game was called off the Saturday Man U played at Highfield Road, and two of my friends, Norfolk Man U fans (yeh, I know) said let's go. We got there about 2 o'clock, and the ground was a sea of red and white. I kept...

Nor me - Boo Hoo!

I was at the Sunderland/City game in the League Cup in January 1990. - blimey, 27 years ago this week! Anyhow, Speedie had been winding up Gary Bennett the whole game, and in the end, Bennett snapped. He's a brute of a guy, about 6'4" and built like you know what. He grabs Speedie with one...

Yes, you're probably right! I guess I was just assuming it was taken at a home game. Not that I'm still in denial about us leaving Highfield Road, of course!!

You'd take all of those, and Tommy Hutchinson of course. Ian Gibson was tremendously skilful, sad that he past away this year. I live in the North East of England and there was a lot of local coverage of his death - at a relatively young age. Another decent Scottish player - Neil Martin, not...

Iconic photograph - great player, great shirt, great ground/home. As a kid, Willie Carr was my hero (I had a few - Gibbidy Gibson, Hudson, Rees, Humphreys, Glazier etc etc etc!!!) he never stopped working, was really competitive, could see a pass. How could we have sold him to the Wolves?? Did...

Sure was a great time to start supporting your home town club. I consider myself lucky to have seen some great times at Highfield Road, and sympathise with our young fans who are having a very different experience. Respect to them for keeping the faith.

Great post - I was football mad from as soon as I could walk, and my dad(who was a rugby man) bought me a Wolves shirt - they were the team at the start of the sixties. Then I pestered him to take me to the City and my first game was at home to Sunderland in the FA Cup in 1963 (with my Grandad...

Yes, we will have some poor results, and we must remember this positivity when things go wrong. I think this is a really good appointment, the best we could have hoped for, and I'm sure we all wish RS all the very best in what is going to be a very difficult task.
