    Supporters forum - 25th February

    Can it be asked how our i follow figures stack up against others in the Championship? As an alternative source of revenue while we play without crowds could the club do more to sell it to a wider audience than it currently gets?

    iFollow attendance

    Would be interesting to know how many international subscribers we have too, as well as figures for other teams for us to compare against. As this is one of the club's few sources of income at the moment I wonder whether it would be worth the club pushing i follow a bit more - I think a lot of...

    Match Thread Cardiff

    After last weekends panic postings, banging on about our 6 goals in 10 games and the likelihood of relegation you're going to tip us to beat Cardiff aren't you??

    Schmeichel Doyle

    It depends on your personal definition of legend and how wide your scope is for 'legend' status. Although I always liked Doyle, in my near 50 years of watching City it would only be marginal whether he would make it into my top 50 favourite players during that time. He was however hugely...

    Players out of contract

    Not saying I necessarily disagree with releasing Jones, happy to leave that to MR & the medical team. The only thing I'd say is that Jones does give the team the potential pace down the middle that you've noted it currently lacks, given that before the season started he was being prepped for...

    Today’s games

    You are such a bed wetter. You have constantly banged on in this thread about MR not addressing the striking issue in the window, but despite numerous posters pointing out that Gyokeres was the signing made to address that issue, it just doesn't seem to register with you, nor do our financial...

    Match Thread Coventry v Watford

    In seeing 10 years or so of Daz's tips, I'm not sure one has ever turned out right :LOL:

    DaCosta

    Nothing wrong with getting the ball across first time as it doesn't allow defenders to set up easily. Unfortunately our forwards weren't set up either and didn't seem to be expecting that quick service. Would have been interesting to see how a more natural goal scorer like Godden would have got on.

    Match Thread Coventry v Watford

    I think MR will start with the team that started the 2nd half against Forest. Having got those minutes under his belt there would seem little point in sending Rose back to the much less competitive U23 games. If he is not ready for the full 90, then bring on McFadzean after 60 minutes, or...

    We need a bit of luck

    This is where our forwards need to show more awareness though. If the opposition are keeping a man on the line to cover Ostigaard's headers then Biamou or Gyokeres should be pushing onto that last defender. If either of them are stood near Grabban last night they would have had every chance of a...

    Michael Rose

    I disagree with that. I think most defenders would have looked to clear it with their head, and done so quite comfortably. I think if Rose wasn't rusty that's what he would have ordinarily done too. Unfortunately for us this happened when he was still finding his feet playing again. The one...

    Cringey football terms deserving of a temporary ban

    A number of CWR ones annoy me - 'The March to the arch', 'The as it stands table' etc

    Penalties

    The thing that's been most frustrating is that hardly any of the penalties conceded have been made preventing almost certain goals. With all the ones I can remember the opposition still had a lot to do to score and were certainly in more difficult positions to do so than from the resultant...

    New sponsor needed for next season?

    I had the impression that this is a decision made within football and not a Government instruction (apologies if that's wrong). Although they often makes a balls up of dealing with social issues, football does like to be seen to be seen as influential in such matters, if you look at the likes of...

    I wonder how hard Birmingham will try to beat the snow given their poor recent form.

    Points to survive

    While I agree O'Hare will be the top end of our pay scale I very much doubt he is on as much as 10k a week, which just seems like someone's guess to me.

    Points to survive

    That 55 season was out of the ordinary - Peterborough were really unlucky to go down with 54 points. In only one other season has over 50 points been required to stay up in the last 10 years, and the majority of the time averaging a point a game (46 points) would see you safe. Looking at the...

    The shot from 40 yards was brilliantly instinctive and could easily have caught out a lesser keeper than Westwood, as no keeper would have been expecting a shot from there, and could have easily been caught out of position. He did similar earlier in the season when he took a punt from the half...

    New sponsor needed for next season?

    This issue provides a real conundrum and doesn't really lend itself to a short comment on a message board. People that gamble and are addicted to it will gamble regardless of whether football teams have a betting company on their shirt, so I don't think this step will make the slightest impact...

    Pics from the last game at Highfield Rd

    It was a memorable day but by this time we didn't own HR. It was sold in 1999 from when CCFC rented the ground back, and who eventually ended up effectively repaying all the money they had made from the sale back to the new owners, who therefore got a great deal. There were rumours of...
