Well, true, but if we can now only play the ball to feet on the ground, the pitch is very much going to not be of any advantage to us. Think many of the League One teams are more direct and have target men. We don't have any forward who can really win the ball in the air.

It's cutting up much more.

I think the key here isn't in selling our best players, but in when we sell them. We shouldn't sell any player who has value to the team until we have an adequate replacement lined up.

Okay, well follow up question therefore is, could the state of the Ricoh pitch contribute to us being relegated, or would that just be an excuse? Just thinking that if we haven't got the type of player to play on a heavy, boggy pitch, does that put us at a further disadvantage at home? Or as I...

At the moment I think we are playing Pythonesque football.

Definitely advantage Bradford pre-game I would have thought. Going to be more suitable for a long ball type of game, so I think we will need to change the way we play on Tuesday. I can see the ball bobbling and sticking in the middle of the park. Hopefully the wings won't be so cut up.

A massive amount I would say.

My daughter's best friend's dad. He's a massive Cov Rugby fan, but he went to Wasps today. Anyway, let's not get off subject here. How badly do we think this will affect us on Tuesday? Certainly not conducive to good football on the deck I would have thought. Think we are going to have to...

And before anyone moans, this does belong on the Coventry City page, because all I want to know is the state of the pitch after today's game for our info and how messed up it will be for the City on Tuesday.

I don't think it will be 14,000. Hope I'm wrong but I am thinking just over 11,000 tops.

Exactly. And we sure as hell aren't playing like a team.

It's a rock and a hard place, I know. But I think staying here is definitely better than say moving 10 miles away.

Do we read anything into the fact that Proschwitz wasn't even in the squad on Saturday? Could be obviously just down to only being allowed 5 loan players in the match day squad, but maybe by the same token, he was left out because TM knows we need fresh blood in other positions and has decided...

Think we have always known we would just pay rent to someone else haven't we? I too still think the Ricoh is the answer. There has to be a deal to be done there, surely. Especially if we cannot finance a new stadium or even find a location for it..

Well thank God he's gone. If he was still here I think I would be thinking relegation.

I don't think our record against poor teams has been good this season to be honest.

Well I have said all along that I think we will survive. We are looking like we are cutting it fine though.

Not saying it is simple. Nothing of the sort. Just saying we are bottom 5 and our form is worse than 3 of the bottom 4. I have faith in Mowbray, but do not have the same faith in the players.

Yes, understand all that, but the last 10 games' form table is ...... Yevoil W2, D4, L4 Crawley W3, D1, L6 Colchester W3, D1, L6 Leyton O W3, D1, L6 City, it is W1, D4, L5. Only one win in the last 10 games. Points total in those 10 games; Yeovil 10 pts Crawley 10 pts Colchester...

And by the same token on another day with the same level of performance MK Dons would have beaten us easily. I am not getting depressed about it, but it is a massive task. We have an inexperienced keeper, am error ridden back four and an almost none existent midfield. We are 5th from bottom and...
