    Away form

    Imho, we started the season intending to win our home games and draw our away. 2 points per game average and we go up in the autos. We're now at the point where we need to win away to make up for lost ground, but the mindset hasn't changed. That sits with the manager. I'm a fan of Robins, but...

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    I got the full Spurs XI and missed Crossley, Keane and Glover from Forest. Sorry for going off topic.

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    Yesterday I was trying to name both Forest and Spurs teams from the 1991 FA Cup final (a random quiz question at work) and got mixed up between Tim Sherwood and Steve Sutton. And now you post this. Turned out it was Mark Crossley anyway.

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    I have a soft spot for Geoff Foster, based on the fact that he seems like a forgetful character from a sitcom, but let's face it, he's no Jeremy Paxman when it comes to asking questions. It's as if he's afraid of asking anything that might offend, despite the fact that he's supposed to be a...

    Biggest Transfer Shock

    By the same token, Chris Marsden going to...I want to say Wolves..? I'm still very upset about that.

    Biggest Transfer Shock

    John Salako. Saw the newspaper billboard that we were signing him for £2m and thought 'this is it, we're destined for the big time'. How wrong I was.

    Which goal made you go the most mental?

    I've told this tale before, but I was at the match with about 10 mates, most of who were Villa fans, and we all sat in the Villa end (can't remember which stand, but the goal was scored to our right). When Moldovan scored, me and one of the other City fans stood up and cheered, and the stewards...

    Goalkeeping over the years

    Only fair way to judge it is to look at how many cock-ups other L1 and L2 keepers have made that cost goals. Apart from the McNulty one at the start of the season (which was more like the defenders fault tbf) can anyone think of one in our favour in the last season or two?

    Biamou

    Over the summer it stood out that a number of signings were on 2 year deals. Suggests to me this was a 2 year or bust kind of plan to go up - ideally 1 though, of course. Edit because my kid was distracting me: my point being that surely we wouldn't make the mistake of over-stretching the...

    After all these years, it's ingrained in me to expect the worst. Heavy 3-0 loss.

    Boateng was a beast. He should have played for a 'bigger' club than us and Villa imho. Too good for lower-to-mid-table obscurity.
