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...

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

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

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...

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

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?

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Anybody know what the damage is? Losing another midfielder for the season could be really significant.

I think my hatred for the parachute clubs (or yo-yo clubs) is overtaking any rivalry hatred (Leicester an obvious exception). I know it is the system at fault, but they represent that broken system that really ruined the unpredictability of the championship which made it the best league in the...

One of my main memories as a kid was watching two VHS Coventry tapes on repeat. One was the 98/99 season review. The other was a tape of Coventry’s 101 Greatest Goals. Does anybody else remember the latter and if so where I could find it? Proper nostalgia for me! Would welcome any other Coventry...

Anybody else finding that the fixtures aren’t updating on iPhone? Can’t tell if it’s the club or my phone, but already created havoc! I plan my life around this club!

I’m taking my nephew to the game on Saturday and would love to greet the players before the match. Does anybody know what time they arrive and where we might be able to get a photo?

One of the players of the season so would be a big loss. Does anybody know how long a dislocated shoulder puts you out for?

Does anybody else have nostalgia for this song? I get it’s slightly naff, but I remember hearing it in the shop for my first visits to Highfield Road in the late 90s, so I associate it with that incredible excitement of my first live football matches. I’m probably in the minority, but would...
