2-2. New manager syndrome for both teams.

Apparently Tony Mowbray's final game in charge of Middlesbrough was a 3-2 loss away to Barnsley. So if we're doing shite by HT I expect he'll be visiting the dressing room to ensure he gets one over Barnsley ;)

There lies the problem I suspect.

Get your blue and white scarves out (for Tony)

@Coventry_City: Tony Mowbray preparing to go live on @SkySportsNewsHQ right now. Tune in to hear our new manager! #PUSB http://t.co/jNSn4V7jEv Picture shows him stood on the training pitch. Big clubs would have it in a conference / press room, not on a field :(

I think it's honourable of him to commit to the short term cause. Why would he commit to longer knowing we may yet be in league 2 next year? Is that where he wants to be? This way he can see what conditions he will be working under, and the powers that be can see him at work, albeit with not...

I hope not!

5 in a match day squad, but sure you can only loan a certain number over the course of a season too. Not certain if that's still the case though, or what those figures might be (and probably depend on short term / season long too, of which I think all ours have only ever been short term haven't...

Like Francis Jeffers did ;)

I'm interested to know what will happen with Oggy too! Seems like he's been here since 1883 and time for a change maybe? ;) That said, some keepers have definitely improved during their time with us - Allsopp, Murphy (he did get better and I was gutted he went by the time he left, yet wasn't...

I do think it's a good appointment. Wanted him before when we were searching for a new manager. Just hope he's done his homework on this league during his time away. And knows what it takes to get out of it; goalscorers, tight midfields and strong defence! He has one hell of a job on his...

Everytime I've searched twitter for the #mowbray, I keep seeing messages about bloody pork pies!

@Stuart_Linnell: @Coventry_City have confirmed that, "after a long day", Tony Mowbray is the new manager of the Sky Blues. More tomorrow on @BBCCovWarks Interesting that no one else is offering "quotes" just yet.........

First player to 'tweet' maybe? @Lawton_05: Great news #OnwardsAndUpwards

With Waggott being a Geordie, or from that region, anyone know if he's a proper Geordie or a Middleborough or Sunderland fan? if Middlesborough, could this be the link? Just a thought

"Will travel to Coventry tomorrow?" 1. Where has he been today? Have talks not taken in person? 2. Has no one told him we are travelling to Barnsley for a match tomorrow evening? #TonyMowbraysSkyBlueArmy

No announcement tonight it appears! Not sure what to make of it really. Telegraph hyped things up with a non story? Rumours getting out of control? Mowbray having second thoughts? Who knows!! Makes tomorrow nights games all the more interesting......

Indeed! It all happens for CCFC on a Thursday

UPDATE: Coventry City are still locked in talks with the man they have selected as their new manager. The Telegraph understands that they want Tony Mowbray to succeed Steven Pressley and that he is keen to accept the challenge, but details are still being ironed out and it might be that...

Remember it well. But I meant quantity of goals, rather than specific goals. Don't get me wrong he's done an alright job since coming back into the team, just not prolific enough
