    Match Thread Preston North End FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 9th Dec

    One thing for me, we cannot play a back five, we don't have the personnel, we look distorted and players, including Rudoni, didn't know where to fit in. If you want to play KKH put he in Milan's or Saka's position not try to create a 'between' position for him, he overloaded midfield and took...

    Rivals for auto spots

    We are rarely up the top and it is wierd because the only place you can go is down. We, the fans, are constantly looking at other teams and wondering whether they will catch us, the answer is no. We must only concentrate on ourselves then we will win the league. If you say, by the law of...

    How’s the ref explain that!

    Anyone would think we shouldn't lose again. If Ipswich is the best opposition we have we will definitely win more than we lose. 2/3 of our foward line were missing and Rudoni was running round like O'Hare used to - i.e. a headless chicken but that is because Ipswich knew how to play him. As for...

    Squad Value 📈

    Two of the key people in the dressing room. Sometimes it's not just what happens on the pitch but throughout the week. It's players like these two that are the reason FL has gone on record as saying it's a great group and a pleasure to work with.

    FFS, the guy asked where someone is, out of concern, and a whole host of you act like the victim society 'why no one care for me'. As a kid teenaged girls used to be like that now it's 20-40 year old men. As my nan would say 'we need a war'.

    Malaga and Edjenguele to sign..

    I was thinking about Lester the other day and their title winning year, which now seem light years away, however, they must have been going through the same estatic feelings we are this year (up till now). But, I have erased their year from all my existences so I can live in denial.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    I don't even know what I'm thinking myself sometimes. It's pure logic, but I do know someone who believes Brau will leave in January to return home. I do not profess to be an ITK but as I knew Jim the gateman with the gammy leg all those years ago as I grew up in wolston and spent many years...

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    He's a northern lad and he is among friends, and he is key to FL's system. If we didn't get promoted then Brentford would be an option but for now he wouldn't entertain it. We saw this with Rudoni in the summer he enjoys being around FL and learning and I think the majority feel the same THIS...

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    This game is unique. There is absolutely no pressure on us and massive pressure on Ipswich. I watched the Oxford game and Ipswich had no respect for Oxford so got beaten. They are still clear favourties again us (in their own eyes) like most parachute clubs, (go onto the Sheff Utd site and they...

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Thomas wouldn't want to go and FL wouldn't want him to, so it would be a Doug decision. The great thing is, if Thomas, or anyone else left, they wouldn't be replaced by Div 1 players, so, if Thomas left possibly Hughes would come in. However, the way Thomas is playing Brentford would be a...

    I've heard they are allowing him to find something himself, so it's up to his agent.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    I have heard that Brau may be going back to Spain, if so, we may need another LB and a midfielder, winger and forward.

    Rushworth

    I think he is doing ok in a winning team and has pulled off a number of good saves but he is not premier class yet. If Dovin can get back to fitness he will be number 2 choice but we would need someone with more experience. If, we get promoted we could easily go on a losing streak and would he...

    Can we get to 50 points

    Thankfully we have seen FL and his coaching team do have plan B and C and will use them as I think he will against Ipswich and Saints. If two or three of our strikers are out then have a more defensive team and play them on the break as we did against Boro.

    Lampard

    Although I have so much respect for FL as a human as well as a manager he has in fact done nothing yet, as I am sure he would agree. If we dropped in form in the New Year and didn't make the play-offs would he still be held in such high asteem? Football is a wierd world, unlike anything else...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 25th Nov

    By the law of averages 60% of a game is dominated by the home team and 40% by the away. That LoA also would have the home side having a superior shot and passing count, that's why we look impressive. You can play badly for 80 minutes and well for 10 and score once of one shot, because the game...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 25th Nov

    We started the season amazingly and be honest we were all waiting for the wheel to fall off, being Coventry, however when we lost most of us thought that was it, but this squad has self-belief and even on Saturday when we are two nil down they still believe they can win, and did so. Therefore...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I can see King wishing for promotion and staying there as Sunderland are doing, I don't think he wants us to be a yoyo club, and with that in mind some of the players coming in January will be players that can make it in the Premiership, and although the Oxford lad is good I'm not sure if he can...
