I'm feeling positive and excited. It may have been purely down to negotiations but I don't think the time taken has been a bad thing. Without being disloyal to Mark because I remain sad he's gone, the last week or so I've found myself thinking more about Lampard, watching interviews with him...

That is sad new because I grew up with his excellent reporting. Seeing his name meant you were getting what you needed to know. To good journalistic standards and the volume and level of detail and research appropriate to the subject matter, i.e. a lot where needed. Not just soundbites and...

When it wasn't announced on Saturday, I thought it wouldn't be until after the Burnley match. I'd want as straightforward and consistent pre-match routines as possible for Rhys and the coaching team and the players. In the press conference at the moment they can swat away questions on the...

I think he deserves his new contract and he's been our best player so far this season. Others may have had a game or patch where they've shone but Eccles has done his job consistently well, week in week out and is starting to show good leadership qualifies too. If Lampard does come in as...

Mark, if you read this thank you. I don't know where our club would be today with the loyalty you've shown through so many difficult periods. I'm sorry and ashamed we haven't treated you with the same loyalty in return. I have so many great memories of being a Sky Blues fan and you led us for...

A pretty cold announcement in my view. MR has given me some of the best footballing memories of my life. I wish he had departed by mutual consent with lots of warmth and emotion in the announcement. The words are there about his achievements but it's all a bit too corporate and business like for...

Really enjoyed that second half. I thought we were the better team throughout but it always feels like we have a mistake in us that could undermine all the good play. The second half team should play the next few games. I think players like Simms and Torp need to play themselves into consistent...

I don’t think any players are consistently coming out of games with any real credit at the moment. Little field of good play in games maybe, or signs that someone is getting back to their best. There seems to be a general air of malaise, low confidence, and poor team spirit and togetherness...

I haven’t thought about other managers and I don’t really want to. I’ve loved following the Sky Blues under Mark Robins. If you’d told in the Northampton season that we’d win a trophy at Wembley, get promoted, have players like Gyokeres and Hamer in our shirt, watch matches like Notts County and...

I don’t have the answer but it’s not a nice experience getting away by car now. We live locally too so I feel for fans who have a long drive ahead of them afterwards. Hopefully the buses are successful and they explore a few more routes. They know where many of us live so can surely see where...

We said the same. He was excellent and at times looked really confident and positive on the ball.

Great message perennial lurker. I agree with you completely. I would definitely add the Notts County away leg of the play off semi final to the list. It's probably my favourite ever game, Wembley games included. The atmosphere was electric and the feeling of connection between fans and players...

It won’t ruin mine either. I’ve been going long enough to know there are ups and downs and it’s 100% worth hanging in there for the ups. I’m not sure Doug will feel like that though. For all we know the failure to get going this season may lie at his door but he’s in charge, he’s at every game...

I applauded because I feel proud that a player who is from our city and came through our youth system plays at the top level, including for England. I'd always applaud Callum Wilson for the same reason.

Is this the away shirt with the city wards built into the fabric, but with the rainbow colours instead? Just that the pattern stands out way more here than in the white.

I think too many things have changed - Adi going, new coaching team, new staff in other performance roles. We were expecting the changes this time last year with Vic and Hamer going but I wasn’t this year. I thought the changes would just be positive ones with new players coming in, the...

I like this. It always sounds like it really booms and echoes around an arena when the Irish rugby fans sing it.

It was a cracking atmosphere last night. So glad I went. Definitely felt I got value for money. The whole team was immense. so proud of them all. We could and should have won. The key difference is that the quality of their subs made a match winning difference for them.

Count me in

If I was in Doug’s position, I’d be tempted to be in the photo. The coaching and other professional staff are in it too. It’s the team in the widest sense of the word I think because it isn’t just the players who get a team promoted anymore is it? I’d have felt differently about Joy Sepalla...
