    2 presents from Jordan Clarke

    Our back four passing the ball and building from the back, the best I've seen for years. Clarke is key in that, he is also mobile which is good cover for Websters lack of pace. At the moment at set pieces only Webster jumps like he can win the ball. Leon Clarke comes back but isn't...

    You are just embarrassing yourselves now.

    You've made a good case Fernando, except at the height of Liverpools dominance I recall an interview with a Liverpool defender: We could keep possession all afternoon. The back four just passed it around until Daglish managed to get free. we would then hit him with the long ball, he'd dink...

    I appreciate the point you are making. although out and out pace isn't always necessary...if you have a player who really reads the game. Paul McGrath and Trevor Peake were good examples of this. But yes you do need a safety net and a good distributor. Jordan Clarke has great potential...

    Well Pressley certainly looks to the top teams and players for tactics and inspiration. He is also looking to change the culture of the club. Something our squad could take on board is Puyols attitude to defending crosses. Not the biggest defender but always jumps like he believes he can...

    What did Parkinson say to Pressley?

    Haven't mentioned long ball or anything about died in the wool long ball merchant, your words not mine. On other posts I have criticised our defence for not dealing with two long punts. My overall summery was it was an entertaining game, I thought we were going to hang onto...but I had no...

    What did Parkinson say to Pressley?

    Handbags. Pressley alluded to a remark which he chose not to repeat, saying it would get another manager in trouble. Perhaps he felt the punishment wouldn't fit the crime or just thought it was post match hot air and not a true reflection of the bloke. Pressley played out his own...

    Whatever sex the person has been at any given time, or whatever sexual persuasion any person may have had at any given time, is irrelevant.

    City fan attacked after yesterday's game

    Whoever you support these things happen unfortunately. Cov fans have taken it and given it out over the years, so we are no different to any other club. Usually the offenders are in the minority of the fan base as a whole...but in the majority of the fan base when the attacks occur! So...

    Leeds away 1992

    Lost count of late goals making me sick. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. All Cov fans know it is never over until that whistle blows.

    Reid vs Moussa yesterday

    Different type of players. Moussa more a midfield footballer, pass and move. Reid a winger, running at players and taking them on. Both could have a role to play in our squad depending on opposition and situation in a game.

    for Bradford fans

    For the first goal Murphy's positioning was woeful, should have been an easy take as a punt dropped over the back four. The second he went walk about outside the area trying to win headers he couldn't and left us without a goalkeeper, then Clarke just didn't deal with a bouncing ball, finally...

    It's about time the farce at the back got sorted out !!

    I don't think he was signed for immediate use, he is more a development prospect.

    for Bradford fans

    I thought it was a really entertaining game and even at 2-0 Bradford were still in it. They looked good in the air in our penalty area, Reid a threat wide on the break. I just though we were going to hang on and then the penalty! I am not taking anything away from Bradford, but from our...

    Steven Pressley

    Refreshing to have a manager who is not reliant on the football cliche style of management. He is passionate about football and how he believes it should be played. I also feel he there is some personal dissatisfaction from when he was a player at Coventry. He has a connection with the club...

    And the band played on. (unfortunatly)

    That is why Hungary beat England 6-3 at Goodison in 1949 and 7-1 in Hungary in 1953. The FA in England were and still are a bunch of Luddites.
