    I watched highlights of every game we played since the 98/99 season

    I started supporting Coventry since the 98/99 season and decided to rewatch highlights of every game again (up to the Swansea game just gone). It was like watching a box set of an old tv show. A huge thank you to mrviewsky for making the games available on YouTube. Before any of you ask, yes I...

    Best Ever GD

    From my dodgy ChatGPT research, apparently our best ever GD in a football league season was + 46 in 33/34. Can anybody confirm if this is true and do people think we’ll be able to beat it?

    The forgotten Ellis Simms

    I’m sure this isn’t the player we’re all thinking about after last night, but I do think he deserves a general shoutout. Has scored many crucial goals and must be incredibly frustrated that he is not first pick with a good goal ratio. Despite that he still gives 100% when he is brought on and...

    A question for the Coventry Geeks

    I make this the first we have won in the league on free to air tv in at least quarter of a decade. Anybody able to tell me the last time this happened? I don’t know the answer btw.

    Dirtiest Coventry City Team

    So striking how much better other teams are at the dark arts. Another reason why I think Ipswich and Boro will go up and not us, although this has been the case every season. This could be my rose coloured tinted fan spectacles on, but I can’t think of any Coventry team who have ever nailed...

    Autos or Play Offs

    A lot of debate about people either being too negative or too positive. Time for us all to put our head on line. Personally I cannot see us getting to May in an Automatic promotion position.

    Golden Brown

    Not picking on players. Just those who scanned. Wanted to do something creative after a shitty performance. Not to be taken too seriously. To the tune of Golden Brown by the stranglers: Miguel Brau, already done Led by a clown, a team who don’t run No goals from Wright A team who don’t fight...

    The Mill Experience

    Thinking of getting tickets for it with my Dad for his bday. Apparently you get access to a TV lounge with it. Does anybody know how long you can stay after the match to use it? For example if you wanted to watch the 5.30pm kick off could you stick around to watch all of it? Also, can you bring...

    15/16 Season

    It was such a jarring season and I think it leaves scars as a fan even now. My memory was that we went on a terrible run exactly at this point of the season and dropped off. What were other people’s memories of the drop off? Could history repeat itself and, if not, what are the differences and...

    Strikers

    How long can we have strikers who don’t score? Surely they need competition because they are coasting at the moment.

    Oxford tickets

    Apologies this will hopefully be a short thread. Does anybody have an idea when the Oxford home game tickets will be released?

    The ‘wobble’ month

    It seems to me this would be the time for it. Congested and difficult fixtures + our squad depth being tested with injuries already. I think the real test is not it happening but how we react to it. If we can get to 50 points by the end of the month, then we’ll be in a good position to add some...

    AFCON

    Probably already been mentioned, but presuming we will lose Assante for it???

    What would happen without Grimes?

    Such a critical player. Our most in my opinion. If he got suspended or injured who or what would be the cover? Without Sheaf nobody really springs to mind. Would it require a change of formation?

    A very niche tactical observation

    Warning this is very specific. Has anybody noticed that since Lampard has taken over that when we’re defending and a wide man is free coming into the box our defenders will stay central and not come out to block? I’ve noticed this loads, but two examples to show what I am talking about would...

    Keeping Lampard

    Probably my paranoia, but everytime I see a premier league team looking to sack a manager (Forest this time), I fear Lampard may leave. Talking more generally (not specific to the Forest example), do we think we’ll be able to keep him until the end of the season? If you were Doug would you be...

    Reflecting on SISU

    Having now got the stadium it feels like any toxic legacy of SISU has finally been washed away. The feel-good factor of Saturday has really made me wonder what on earth was going through their heads in the time they owned the club? I was obviously never a fan of them as owners and was...

    How well will Wrexham and Birmingham do?

    I’ll be honest I really want both teams to have their balloon burst with the money they’re spending, but I have a horrible feeling both will do very well.

    Lampard - Next England Manager

    Sounds far fetched but I could see it happening. Tuchel has a bad World Cup. Lampard has another good season with us. The usual thing with the FA is they swing from one pendulum to another. They wanted the best quality manager this time around, but if Tuchel doesn’t do well it’ll be all about an...

    Forte Disallowed Goal

    Honestly I think about that incident every month as a real sliding doors moment. Everything in the past 7 odd years may never have happened. Was clearly onside and would have shifted momentum. Does anybody else think about this often or have a similar sliding doors thought? I’m sure it’s most...
