    Buzzing again!

    The full equation though is - Cov match + optimistic people + good manager promising to bring exciting football to our shores = I am anticipating the best!

    Buzzing again!

    In view of Wasps being annoying sat encamped in our stadium, it might be wise for you to change the thread title.

    12th Man

    Well yes, I would agree with that, but we beat Gillngham and Yeovil. Did the missing fans have a sixth sense that the football to come in the next home game was going to be crap and therefore decided they would not go up? The football did become crap as the season wore on, but how did all...

    12th Man

    And 3) Still very much in the 'feelgood factor' zone.

    12th Man

    Maybe I am bitter and twisted then, but the club needed us after the Gillingham and Yeovil games and from that point then on and SP needed us all season.

    12th Man

    Hasn't it always been the case that we should have been the 12th man? Why should we suddenly become the 12th man now? Had we done it years ago we wouldn't even be in this mess. :(

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    Yep, agree with this. And there is a vast difference in slowly blooding academy players carefully to just throwing them straight into the team at the drop of a hat. If the plan is to make an assault on the top 6 places next season, that is going to be incredibly difficult with a squad with...

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    Not trying to piss on anyone's chips here, but just how bad are we all going to be feeling if TM does really well for us until the end of the season and then buggers off to a bigger club? The dumps we have been down in this season are going to feel like small lottery win compared to having to...

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    Trouble is, at the start of this season, that was pretty much what we were saying we had then, Reda Johnson, JOB, Tudgay.

    Get well soon Geoff Foster

    Yes indeed. Really sorry to hear. I met him once and my brother used to work with him. Nice bloke.

    Would tend to agree. Frank Nouble Marcus Tudgay Simeon Jackson Shaun Miller Andy Webster Adam Barton Ivor Lawton Blair Turgott Kyle Spence George Thomas Devon Kelly-Evans Dion Kelly-Evans Reda Johnson Jordan Willis Danny Pugh Lee Burge Reece Charles-Cook Ryan Haynes Aaron Martin Aaron...

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    Yep. Bet back then we would have laughed in the faces of anyone who would have suggested such a notion.

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    Oh yes, totally agree. I have much more faith in TM than I ever had in Pressley.

    Mowbray's preferred formation.

    He likes to attack, attack, attack, so I am guessing 2-4-4.

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    IF he is given the backing. If he is under such constraints that he has to field the academy we could be in trouble again. Guess I am looking at all this as losing lots of players and not being convinced the owners giving TM the backing he'll need. I agree that in that list there's not many I...

    I was thinking more Walter Mitty.

    Byng the merciless speaks

    For 'reviewing our position' should we maybe read that as 'Slowly backing out of the room on tip toes and pretending we were never at the party in the first place.'

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    We now have 6 loan players on our books and we are only allowed to play a maximum of 5 anyway.

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    it's another downside of utilising loan players too. Hard to create stability when you know you only have certain players for a short time and that is why I think we need to try and keep loan players we bring to this club to the minimum possible.

    Tony Mowbray and the Coventry City players out of contract in the summer

    Ooh, big time new broom!! i would be looking to offload Thomas and Fleck anyway, so that doesn't leave us with a lot does it. I also think that, that is too many players we will be needing for next year and that could result in it all taking a long time for the new squad to gel. Should never...
