    BBC article about Saturday's game

    Amongst the many things wrong with that article, one of the biggest things; how can the Chair of the Supporters Trust not actually support the team? Zero credibility right off the bat.

    Where are you drinking Saturday?

    They are indeed, but I recommend getting there earlier than you usually would before a league game, as it’s really popular with Blues fans.

    First timers at St Andrews

    Please don’t - dreading it already. It’s obviously great to have new fans there etc etc, but I’m really not looking forward to a load of idiots stuck in a time wrap who don’t understand our style of play and think everyone is shit, when actually it’s their first time seeing them play.

    Just reading snippets of this thread really does make you question why some people actually support City, never mind go onto a forum to discuss them. So much unneeded negativity and pessimism at a time when we are in our best on field position (and everything auxiliary to that e.g. the...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan

    Not too we should even bother turning up, they’re a Championship team and we’re L1. I don’t think anyone doubts the general difference in class between the two divisions, however we’re on form, have the best squad we’ve had in years and playing fantastic football. Conversely they are being...

    Where are you drinking Saturday?

    There’s so many good pubs in Digbeth, you can’t really go wrong! Our usual pre match haunt is DigBrew; fantastic choice of beer and the biggest pizzas you’ve ever seen.

    Lukas Jutkiewicz

    I always rated him, although I wouldn’t describe him as an out and out target man. He was a really hard worker too and as others have mentioned one of the most unlucky with hitting the woodwork. Really hard worker too - I actually think he’d work really well in our current formation. I’m...

    Blues Game

    Any excuse to have a go at the club/SISU. 1) People should do their research as to who actually makes the call to restrict the numbers. 2) Tickets have been on sale for days, why have people waited.

    U23 v Cardiff today

    I thought Young was well thought of? Is that wrong, or just too many people ahead of him? Shame about Wakefield, I was hoping he might make decent RWB cover with a bit of work. He’s looked off the pace whenever I’ve seen him, but I still don’t want to give up on Ponticelli yet. Not until he’s...

    Match Thread Doncaster Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Jan

    As I always say, and truly believe, if we play our game I’m confident of a victory. I hope MR doesn’t set us up too conservatively . The Biamou/Godden dilemma is a great one to have. I’d go for Godden - I’m a big fan of Max and he absolutely took his chance last game, but Godden was only...

    Blues Game

    Bought my ST seats yesterday. Plus, two others for two of my mates, one of whom is a Man U “fan” who has actually watched a lot more Coventry games live over the last three years than Man U. This does have the same hype and excitement around it as some of our biggest games in recent history...

    **ALL USERS READ THIS, ACTION REQUIRED ASAP** - Sky Blues Talk forum statement

    I agree, it’s very impressive and hopefully that number continues to rise over the next few days. And once out there, it’ll also be good publicity for SBT (Talk not Trust) which in turn may gain us even more members, making future statements even more powerful and the Trust even more impotent...

    What are the next steps Pete? What’s the plan to get as much spotlight as possible? Do you need support from any of us? I’m more than happy to do so, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

    **ALL USERS READ THIS, ACTION REQUIRED ASAP** - Sky Blues Talk forum statement

    What sort of numbers are we hoping for in order for this to be seen as credible? It’s a fantastic idea and using this forum as a mouthpiece for fans is something we’ve discussed before, so I’m glad it’s coming to fruition with this exercise. It’s key we get good numbers though, else it’ll be...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Bristol Rovers - Tuesday 14th January 2020

    Fantastic result, and it absolutely shows the strength in depth we have. Not sure how anyone, even the most cynical (or those who like the attention) can deny how good our squad really is. Although we probably shouldn’t get too excited, we’ve only got through as the FA Cup has gone downhill...

    O’Hare, Biamou and the formation change has improved us already.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    They’ve all been quiet, but I’d give Allen 30/35 for Westbrooke and possibly the same with O’Hare. Our attacking three have been quiet. Plus, MK can’t keep that press and tempo up, so we’ll see them off this half.

    Yep, that’s literally what I said. But as I also said, at some point that dominance will turn into a chance. We need to step it up.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    We need to impose our dominance as we are being outplayed here. Granted they don’t look threatening, but they are dominating and will get a chance at some point. Not sure why we aren’t playing our usual game. Ive been impressed with their 25 and 18.
