    We NEED to appeal that.

    How long have they been saying that for?

    We NEED to appeal that.

    But there is, for instance Team A has a goal chalked off for offside in R1, but was actually onside, under the new rules there are no replays, etc. Team A from National League misses out on much needed revenues and exposure. No VAR was able to intervene. Fast forward to Sunday, the same...

    We NEED to appeal that.

    I've thought about this long and hard since VAR didn't go our way, should we appeal the decision on the day? No. Let me explain why. I think we can all agree on one thing, VAR, it’s not being utilised properly at the moment and therefore that makes it unfit for purpose. What I don’t...

    It's going to sit wrong with me for a couple of days, that's for sure.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Wednesday 24th Apr

    It's a mammoth task to get the players back up for this, mentally and physically. The team that needs to start is the team that ended the 90mins yesterday. Go out and attack Hull, just like we did Man United and lets go for it. Nothing to lose now.

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    Maybe, I guess we will never know, could've left Tavares up top with pace on the counter-attack. All ifs and buts now, frustratingly.

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    Lino had a great view and didn't give offside. It's a really harsh call, given we were all able to celebrate a winner for at least a minute with no warning.

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    I also think Tavares would've finished that chance that fell to Godden as Tavares pulls further away from Casemiro who Godden allowed to get back at him.

    The game has gone

    Don't know how that can be, ultimately is all the evidence on the VAR review accurate (time of the pass, etc), if not then it has to be questioned, but you are right.

    The game has gone

    I've looked at the image almost a hundred times and I still have the same feelings. 1) The VAR lines don't look to of been drawn at the right moment. 2) Not clear and obvious. The rule is if it's not clear and obvious the referee should stick with the on-field call, like they did against...

    Fábio Tavares

    Definitely had an impact in changing the game when he came on. AWB was definitely glad to see him go off.

    Uber for Matt?

    Matt Godden has been a fantastic servant for this football club, in League One he contributed almost a third of our goals and the goals against Sunderland and Ipswich do stick fondly in the memory. Since we've been in the Championship he's contributed with goals as well and has been a brilliant...

    Something urgent needs to happen

    In the Premier League with VAR this is a red card for Dangerous Foul Play, so retrospectively I would expect the FA to take action.

    Where will we finish

    It's almost impossible to vote (head and heart), looking at the fixtures and the table, there are some positives to consider. With 19 games to go City have it all to play for, the current bottom 8 teams, 6 of the teams currently placed 9-16 and then 5 from the top 8. City have to look at...

    Would be good to put names to faces.

    When did the Arena change for you?

    Atmosphere has always been okay, even when we were struggling, but the atmosphere has got better coinciding with upturn in our performances and our rise through the divisions.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    Brilliant result. This is what happens when you take your chances. I believe we should have had more as well. If we continue to take our chances when we are on top in games then we will be absolutely fine. Defensively we are sound enough to manage games. There are a few things we can improve...

    Hamer

    I think going to Leeds would be better than Sheffield United, but Hamer can only end up at a club that pays the money, regardless of who is linked. Sheffield United will be a Championship club again next season.

    Hamer

    This was always likely to happen unfortunately when we didn't get promoted. Hamer is arguably the best midfielder in the Championship, teams in the Premier League were always going to be sniffing around. I think Hamer can do better than Sheffield United, but they are trying to replace players...
