    Rose out injured for 'weeks, if not months'

    Having seen him last game of the season at Oldham when he ran the game, I agree. My view not just based on one game, I think Bigi still has the potential to be a good player.

    Twitter rumour

    At 16 0r 17 he would have become part of the youth set up. Was I think still a teenager when he scored a hat trick against West Brom second season in Div 1.

    Twitter rumour

    They can and it is all about opinions. Having seen all of the players on my list, I think that they were all better, certainly more effective performers than James.

    Twitter rumour

    Carr and Mortimor regular top flight players by the age of 19. Maddison at the moment can't get into a second division side. Carr, a full Scottish international at a time when Scotland were good. Mortimor a swashbuckling captain of the Europeon champions (unfortunately not us) very unlucky not...

    Mark Hately! Another one who should be on my list.

    Twitter rumour

    Better than Willie Carr, Dennis Mortimor, Danny Thomas, Garry Thompson, Jeff Blockley, George Curtis, Mick Coop, Graham Paddon, Bobby Gould, Mick McGuire (all off the top of my head, sure there are a lot more) who all went on to have long top flight careers? (Exception perhaps George, but he did...

    Opening day of the season memories

    I was at that game too. Everton fans making lots of noise before the game, half empty, very quiet Goodison by the end. I think David Cross scored a hat trick in the last game of the season too, away at Burnley. Could do with a David Cross type centre forward now!

    TM's Video begs the question..

    You imply that he picked a weaker team based on how he favoured some players over others to the detriment of the team. I didn't agree with letting O'Brian go, I thought he was a good player. However, I am pretty sure that every team that TM picks is the one he considers to be the best available...

    1st game of the season 2015/16- now

    Not saying he will be better than Fleck but I have been impressed with Gadzev at Oldham and the two Nuneaton games. He looks a good player.

    OPINION: SAVE OUR CITY: Flaws in council support for Wasps move into CCFC academy

    Didn't Ann Lucas say that Wasps arrival in Coventry would not be to the detriment of either the football club or the existing rugby club? Allowing Wasps to take over the Higgs site certainly seems to be to the detriment of CCFC.

    Signing Number 3!

    Agree with this

    'We felt it was difficult to conclude on a long-term arrangement' - Wasps pull out of Ricoh Arena ta

    Hope he wasn't Irish or Sky Blue. As you probably know, this is the badge for the CCFC supporters club in Ireland.

    'We felt it was difficult to conclude on a long-term arrangement' - Wasps pull out of Ricoh Arena ta

    When BPA first opened didn't it have a temporary stand as well as the main stand? Seem to think it did. The National Hockey Stadium in MK had three temporary stands in place which allowed Wimbledon to play there including us on a day that I was the coldest I have ever been at a game. BPA with...

    'We felt it was difficult to conclude on a long-term arrangement' - Wasps pull out of Ricoh Arena ta

    At the Trust forum Anderson said that he really wanted the legal action out of the way as it was nothing but a distraction and was holding the club back. He also said that as long as he was at the club, CCFC would never be taken out of Coventry again. Although temporary stands could go up on...

    I'd quite like Tony Mowbray to be our next manager.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN....

    One of my all time favourites. We all agree, Ian Wallace is magic.

    Agree it's a minor issue but one that still rankles.

    SCG meeting questions

    Sixteen seasons in 52 years have had average gates over 20k. Three of those seasons we averaged over 30k. Those were the seasons we had success. Make the club successful we will get the fans. Are our plans to succeed or are we planning mediocrity at best? The rise to 25k depends on Sisu keeping...

    SCG meeting questions

    It's also worth remembering that City are not alone when their gates have dipped. In the 80s Arsenal had regular gates below 20k (average now 50-60k), Man Utd had gates below 30k. Chelsea just before their first Cup final in years had a gate of 8k ( average now 45k). How annoying would it be to...

    SCG meeting questions

    During my time of watching : Every year from 1964 to 1974 ( three of those years we averaged over 30k), 1977 to1980, 1998 to 2001 and 2006 to 2008. Notice that these times come in clusters on the odd occasion we have had success. If we are half decent, Coventry and Warwickshire people will come...
