    The bitterness...

    yeah that's the one. Got it the wrong way round!

    Half term report

    What matters is will we continue or callapse? Can't see any kind of callapse tbh. Drop off here and there as pressure mounts but I don't see any other team in this division anyway threatening us. Top two is the aim.

    Rushworth

    I've seen enough of Rushworth to know we have a gem of a keeper at a young age who will not be out of place in the premeir league. I fear the asking price but we can make that decision at the end of the season, his loan is not recallable.

    Gus Hamer

    Nope, older less fit and not quite the player he was a season or so ago. We have better players already. Too many on here refuse to see that. The reason we are top is because we have some of the best players in this league playing for us!

    The bitterness...

    For some of us who relate to a number of those 34 years in the top flight, The Fairs Cup, being beaten at home by Bayern Munich, and winning the cup in 87' I feel no bitterness. We had a great run. It's sad that instead of climbing back up in typical fashion, we failed to read the script and a...

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    There was a time not long ago during our struggles, Norwich would come and take our best player and we could not refuse the money. Would be nice to go get Sargeant who must be pondering how it's all turning out for him this season. Top striker, team mate of Wright and would be a great addition...

    Difficult to drop Wol after a good performance the other day. Thomas won't be super fit so will be on the bench.Wold will want to shine against his old club. Wright back in, Rudoni keeps his place. Bidders to contimue at left wing back. Torp should be over his sickness and is the type to crack...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 26th Dec

    Laboured. Typical Boxing Day game, having had too much Turkey! Not entirely convincing performance and we seem to have lost some mo-jo. Hopefully it will come back, but when you start to grind out results when not performing at your best, you deserve to be where you are. Other results played...

    Not a problem here. An easy 3 points and back to scoring a few. Wright due a goal or two, Saka back, Milan fit and Bidders showing he will not be a forgotten man. Eccles to the bench. 4-0

    Sold out already?

    Seems like a list down to ground capacity rather than pure support.

    Tactically - Lampard is pretty good

    The question is, if promted, will he stay? There will be plenty of suiters.

    Match Thread Southampton - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 20th Dec

    That's a bloody good result considering the circumstances and what played out. There are a few suffering the effects of the flu bug becuase Rudoni couldn't run late on, Torp nowhere near fit looking, Milan puffing his lungs out. Da Silva made a jusgement error tackle, not meant by any means but...

    So far so good. High press, keep presure off us atthe back. Our talent is going forward. Deserved the lead, could be more. They will come at us, hope Eccles/Torp can step it up a bit more. Simms is made for this game. Really hope we don't waste this opportunity.

    Seems a little drastic at the back, but neds must. This game before a Xmas period is the one we can let go so save Thomas, Kitch and Saka for then, let them recover. Eccles job is to help shore up midfield release Rudoni to do his thing and if we attack well there is some hope there. At least...

    Sold out already?

    I have to answer this becuase you are taking a very pesamistic viewpoint with little regard or experience of funding such projects over the long term. Initially a relatively small expansion by adding to each end of the ground would not be that expensive to pull off. In the world of premier...

    Sold out already?

    Like I said....the games much bigger these days. We have consistantly had great attendances since coming back into the championship. The premier league will require more capacity. Without it, there will be thousands of fans unable to see a game in their home ground!

    Sold out already?

    Oh it would make absolute sense. Finacing it would be simple, and the flexability it would give the club very welcome. Doug would barely even need to put his hand in his pocket.

    Sold out already?

    We will need a second tier building on when in the premier league. We need a capacity of 40/45k. Always said 32k was not big enough for a one club city the size of Coventry. The game is so much bigger these days.

    Another interesting fixture. Difficult to predict. Saints on a run but just got halted so not so sure they are that good. Teams they played on that run not special. i would like to see us not lose at least. A loss and players heads will start questioning themselves. Up to FL to ensure that does...

    Oh I agree that's not denialble. But my point was what was the 'feeling' after that game? Was I the only one who felt a little undewhelmed?
