    Victim of a Plague of Ghosts?

    Grendel has a point but I would not go as far as saying TM must go. he is a victim of circumstance. A club that is in turmoil and lacking the sort of investment required to be certain of getting out this league. A club which is a big fish in league 1 needs to hope it can make it out through...

    Wigan Match Thread

    Funny feeling about this game. Wigan flying but sooner or later that always derails a little and they will have a couple of scrappy games. They are due one about now and we have some semblance of order coming back about us so we may nick this one just when you least expect it and complete the...

    Coventry City - Why our season has gone wrong

    How do you know it's not true? i was there listening to the conversation and the influence Oggy brought. It was basically Oggy's decision. I'm not saying he should be sacked. I have said consistently Oggy is the one person we have had at the club throughout our miserable downfall and he holds...

    Coventry City - Why our season has gone wrong

    Stu I said this before and you won't believe it clearly. Sat right behind the dugout recently and heard the conversations and I can tell you Oggy was determining the substitutions with a simple nod of approval from TM. Sometimes in life you may think one way but if a guy holding a clipboard of...

    Do you think

    Fans can influence a game, the twelfth man syndrome, but in all honesty NO. If it was the case then how have Burton had such a fantastic season with only a few thousand fans each week? They get on and win games in front of 3000 each week. Proof it does not need massive screaming supporting fans...

    Coventry City - Why our season has gone wrong

    That's a good summation. One area gives rise to my suggestion the other day...Who decides the substitutions or perhaps influences these decisions? Mowbray's ability to alter correctly games I suggest are influenced by none other than Oggy and invariably we get it wrong.

    Gillingham match thread

    We were unlucky today. Should have won it at the death and we would all be saying well deserved. I don't think we are much off being good again. We just lack goals and like a striker out of form it will come back. Too late for this season.

    Gillingham match thread

    Don't think the pressure is off yet O. We still have a chance of a play off spot because we face 4 of the teams above us on the spin and should the improbable happen and we beat them or say win 3 draw one, we would be right in with a chance. Not one of those teams will win all their remaining...

    Today's press conference.

    I think the guy with the leadership and passion is currently out on loan due to a fall out! he'd run all over the pitch with 110% effort and gesticulate at the ref and players. We have lost that passion on the pitch.

    Gillingham match thread

    Optimism for once, even Otis getting in on the act. Well i'll join the club and say a win 1-2 for City. It feels like one of those games to me.

    Should Oggy be released?

    I think some are missing the point and readily leaping to his defense. I don't have any agenda against Oggy but he has been the one constant at the club on the coaching staff. He clearly holds an important role in the coaching set up, not just as goal keeping coach. He is a fairly dominant...

    Should Oggy be released?

    Are you 100% sure about that?

    Should Oggy be released?

    Now i know he is a legend in these parts but that should not alone secure you a job for life. TM has varying issues around him. Some I believe could be the back room staff. Oggy is such a figure head and is steeped in the past of all managers gone before him. He rises to his feet and goes...

    Our downfall

    Murphy by far has been TM's Achilles heel even though he scored a hatrick once and has produced some occasional brilliance. But his overall contribution is clearly not what TM keeps instilling into him. When I was just behind TM at Blackpool recently his frustration was clear to see regarding...

    Our downfall

    TM stated the aim was promotion pushing season and with that he clearly stated he needed and wanted midfielders to step up and score themselves some goals. he spotted and knew what was required from the get go. One or two obliged but then that petered out. I expect TM will assess the type of...

    Can we make the Premier League?

    Hes being pedantic and facetious at the same time. I can always kill him. Just saying I can :)

    Play Offs: Yes or No

    Joking aside it looks pretty much over. If you are looking for hope then yes we happen to play 4 of the top teams above us in the next few games. Taking all 3 points from each them would be a significant achievement and put us right in there with a chance of nicking a place. TM would be a hero...

    So where do we now expect us to finish this season?

    Otis and his perennial 14th place finish! I must admit though on this occasion it sounds about right.

    Colchester (Home) Match Thread

    Well that's that. I'm unbelievable disappointed. TM must take some responsibility here. His job is to motivate and while I accept loss of form, injuries etc I find it hard to understand how we can go out and give such an abject performance. There was much to play for tonight and yet we as a...

    If we lose tonight

    The rescue I was referring to was not from relegation but the club in general. it was in a bad way with no insight how to move it forward from hedge fund owners and poor management at the top level of the company. he has put the club on a better footing that will stand the test of time in the...
