    I can see us drawing with Middlesborough, losing away to WBA and the Blades and either drawing with or beating Stoke. That's either half a point or one PPG.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Monday 16th Feb

    I think that's a decent shout. We need to try and keep it tight at the back, at least to start with. Unless we rediscover our goalscoring form I fear the worst if we concede first. If we need to put fresh legs on after, say, an hour I'd put Eccles on as a defensive option or Torp if we need a...

    Valentines day , made an effort this year

    I met my wife at a Valentine’s party in February 1976, so I have had to make an effort this year because it’s our 50th anniversary of being an item. I know what a lucky chap I am. 😊

    On current form I would expect us to lose 1-4. I'm praying for a 1-0 win. 🤞

    It’s a shame it’s ended this way…

    Sadly I think it's more likely that we will lose and be five points behind them. Our goal difference advantage over Middlesbrough and Ipswich has been seriously eroded in recent weeks. It is likely that at some point in the coming weeks they will have a better goal difference than us. I think...

    Clean Sheet

    That's not far off the team that I would select, although I'm tempted to start with Woolfendon or Lati as a third CB. That does of course beg the question as to who misses out and what formation we play. I would probably drop Torp - who I like but needs must - and, with Onyeka in the team and...

    Clean Sheet

    I also think that this is what he will do. It's probably a "must win" match now but it's definitely a "do not lose" game. It would be just like us, after some very poor performances many of which were against lower-ranking teams, to actually play well against Middlesbrough and win. I certainly...

    Transfer Rumour Romain Esse

    Esse has plenty of natural talent but he's young and inexperienced and therefore likely to be inconsistent. I'm sure he will benefit from the good coaching which I hope we can give him and from getting more game time. I feel confident that he will turn out to be a decent player at Premier...

    To finish in the top two we are going to have to perform at virtually the level of Middlesbrough and Ipswich for the rest of the season. I'd love to think we will but, given the way we have played for over two months, I can't see it. I'd love to be wrong.

    I posted this nearly two months ago; on 12th December to be precise: I got a fair bit of stick for it at the time and some were laughing at me. I bet they're not laughing now. It's all very depressing ☹️

    Our tenth corner. Surely we have to score from one of them.
