City line-up for this afternoon v Leeds. Coventry City: Charles-Cook, Kelly-Evans, Trialist, Harries, Haynes, Spence, Lawton, Finch, Turgott, Maddison, Sambou. Hope Maddison plays well and doesn't get injured and maybe Turgott will play his socks off and earn a place on the bench for the...

Both those fullback are fine going forwards, but lacking in defence. If Pennington does prove to be out and Martin comes in, then it's a very weak looking back 4 isn't it. Good job we have a pair of steady hands behind them. You also have to shudder at the thought of Reda having not come back...

Crewe have done the double on us, we only got 1 point out of our 2 fixtures against Orient, only 1 point out of our 2 fixtures against Scunthorpe, we only drew at home to Crawley, only got 1 point out of our 2 fixtures again Notts County. It's a bit shit isn't it. Only Yeovil and Colchester...

Whichever league we are in. Relegation scrap in League one, or relegation scrap in League 2!

I see the Telegraph are saying 'City only have to avoid defeat against their fellow relegation contenders to be guarantee a place in League One for next season. However a loss would see them relying on other results to survive.' That's not quite right, as I said on another thread. A draw will...

See you at home to Hartlepool then, mate.

They need to learn to let go. It's like a bloke I used to work with, who hated all Americans. He used to go mad when anyone mentioned anything American, or if an American customer ever came in. I asked someone else why his hatred of Americans and they told me it was because his wife had an...

I was going to mention this on the Crawley thread. Trouble is he was injured in the warm up on Saturday, so I would say he would be a doubt. Certainly a stonger midfielder than Adam Barton, with a much better engine.

Crewe looked a very poor side. Just shows to what level we had to stoop to look so much worse than they did.

What are they going to show in Tyne an Wear, a repeat of Dad's Army?

Good question. I don't believe we have. I certainly can't recall a game where that has happened.

When we're 2 down? ;) I think the fact TM took Barton off at half time and that this will be a physical battle, means we won't see him in the starting line up and Nouble has been so poor lately, he has to be dropped. Odelusi to me is rather clumsy and his first touch is poor, but he is strong...

Did you put an 'I' in there by mistake?

I see that as a good thing. He hasn't perhaps got the cynicism of some older players and has more of a point to want to prove. I know he's only 17, but if it was a straight choice between him and the likes of Frank Nouble, then you'd have to go for him wouldn't you? Nouble has been very, very...

Team for Sunday then. What do we reckon? Let's assume Willis and Pennington are out. Burge Philips Reda Martin Stokes Odelusi Fleck Ward O'Brien Tudgay Proschwitch That about right we think?

The biggest C word of all will be used by many City fans if we go down, believe me! And it's none of the ones you have mentioned.

He does. It's the one concern about him, but he does have lots of trickery about him and he can unlock defences.

Totally agree. I am convinced we will lose. We don't have the bottle for a game like this and whether you rate Adam Barton or you don't, this is not a game for the faint hearted and the likes of him would just have lumps kicked out of them and be intimidated out of the game. We need strong...

Yes, but only by bribing officials.

Oh yes of course. 5 or 6 nil then. Sorry, did I forget to put the minuses on the front?
