    Match Thread Liverpool U23 Game - Weds - 7PM

    I'm fine with playing it out from the back if our defenders have time, space and the ability to do so. They are more likely to get that if they mix it up a little, if it is too obvious teams will just press us high, where we risk losing soft goals. It is also easier to play while the pitches we...

    I wonder what the reaction would be if it was here :)

    Ex Player Watch

    Not sure to what your exactly referring, but he always gave 100%, scored a great goal on a memorable day for us at Wembley, and never bitched last season about losing his place. Robins saw no future for him here and it was right he moved on, but I wish him well. Why the hate?

    Bright Enobakhare

    While he's a Wolves player I'm sure they would rather Enobakhare play at Championship level to see how he copes at the next level up from us, just as Chelsea are looking to do with Sterling. He himself might want to come back here as he's guaranteed to play, and do so with the free role he had...

    Ask Neil

    Agree with you mostly, but I disagree that picking the MK away day is the right time to hold a Wasps match day protest. While I understand the 'franchising' angle to such a protest, holding it on that day would prove divisive, when surely the idea is surely to bring as much of our support...

    Only two weeks to go until the season starts...

    You misunderstand, there is a big difference between what I hope for, what I expect and what the club should be aiming for. I'm not saying 9th place should be our aim, of course we should push for higher, which I'm sure Robins is trying to do, but it is going to be difficult to do, what with...

    Only two weeks to go until the season starts...

    The bookies have us about 9th in the League 1 betting, which I think is a fair reflection of where to place our expectations. Anything better than that will be a good season, particularly given the off field distractions.

    Bright Enobakhare

    Thomas end product for us was pretty woeful, but in the periods of the season that we struggled he never hid, battled for the team, and was our only attacking outlet. Hiwula found his scoring boots at the end of the season and does have ability, but for periods last season, particularly, when we...

    Remember being gutted when he left and thought he was going to have a top career.

    Squad as it is

    None of us know for sure whether we are stronger or not for the new signings. As fans we automatically give new players the benefit of the doubt believing they are better than those that left, because that is what we want. Last Summer was the same - we were all excited about Sterling, Brown...

    Season Ticket Sales

    Perhaps you would like to buy a Birmingham City season ticket on the weeks we are away? I'm sure they will sell you one for the same price as Blues fans :)

    CCFC supporters club - Coventry Branch

    There was a supporters club in Rugby back when I was a young teen. I remember Dave Sexton, Harry Roberts & Rudi Kaiser coming to a couple of events, & 3 coaches going to a Cup game at West Brom from the Saracens Head. Hardly been back there since I left, so no idea if there are many Cov fans...

    Ponti

    Wow - I hope he plays regularly, as otherwise its a wasted loan for us & the player.

    Ponti and the like

    Have you read this thread? The vitriol aimed at him astounds me. He was 'bigged up' by some because he banged in goals left right & centre in our youth teams, & scored some decent poachers goals in our League 2 season too. Yes his all round play has looked limited, but his opportunities have...

    Teams won't look forward to playing Coventry next season

    I so want to believe that our new signings will tear the arse out of this league, but past experience teaches me to temper that optimism. I get the feeling that our improvement next season is largely going to depend on how Jobello & Kastaneer adapt to league 1. Hopefully they will be a big step...
