    Where in the country are we all from?

    Just out of interest. I've been living in Yorkshire the past 12 years which means I don't get to anywhere near as many home games as I would like to. Where is everyone else from? I'm guessing Cov will be the winner...

    The answer is simple. Making it happen however...

    I definitely get that, it just feels like this is the bigger issue in the long term. I know as well as anyone that there will be no criticism of the current regime and that all staff and players will have been warned that doing so will be in breach of their contracts with the club. I just...

    The answer is simple. Making it happen however...

    They'd become an overnight folk hero though. Imagine Jordan Willis just came out and said something along the lines of 'this is a great club, fantastic fans but it is run by a set of complete clowns who are destroying CCFC brick by brick with every passing day'. Imagine the power that would...

    The answer is simple. Making it happen however...

    Whatever the outcome of the EFL decision, assuming there is no resolution between SISU and Wasps, the club will continue to lurch from one disaster to the next for as long as that shower hold the reigns of CCFC. I can understand where MR and his players are coming from by not coming out and...

    Transfer rumours

    Just remembered Wells is at QPR!

    Transfer rumours

    Anyone hearing anything positive about a couple of experienced heads coming in either on loans or permanent deals? We badly need a striker and I'm stumped as to who is available, who would realistically come and who could hit the ground running. I'd love to try and get Nakhi Wells from Burnley...

    As I see it

    Totally agree with that and it is a valid criticism of MR's tactics. Being so defensive is great when you are playing genuinely good opposition but our approach to the first half yesterday made Scunthorpe look far better than they are. We looked fearful and rushed when we did have the ball, we...

    As I see it

    When you have crap owners (sometimes even when you don't) you need a bit of luck as well as a handy bit of investment to have everything fit into place. If I look at Cov from the outside looking in, I see a decent young manager for this level with a bit of pedigree. A solid enough team when...

    As I see it

    Don't know how many of you will agree but given where we were post Slade and our relegation, to bounce back up at the first attempt albeit through the playoffs and now be a decent league one side...given the squad, never ending issues with the board not least the farce with the Ricoh I've got to...

    Player Ratings

    Hyam is the only starter to come out of this with any credit today. He looked switched on and was solid. Really impressed with him and think he is becoming a real asset. Willis on the other hand, how is he getting dusted by Lee Novak? Seriously that guy has been going since the Jurassic...

    First Ever Cov Match You Saw ?

    Feb 96, Arsenal away. Drew 1-1 and that has been the story of my time watching Cov. In all these years I've only seen two wins, once against QPR away and the other being Wembley last year. Am going today, was also at Cambridge last season in the cup.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Been listening to a fair bit of Led Zep and Prince lately. Babe I'm gonna leave you is awesome, would have loved to have seen them in their prime.

    In my case the East End

    Cov's obsession with...

    We need to play someone alongside McNulty who can win headers, can hold up play and put McNulty through. Beavon is not that man. As it stands Vincenti may be the best outlet for that, although deployed right I think Biamou could be a decent enough foil.

    Cov's obsession with...

    Sticking strikers on the wing. First half yesterday McNulty was out left far too often, either that or wandering around the middle. Sticking the Duck out on the right when he came on. It's pointless. We need to play with a front two. Personally I'd drop Beavon for the next match and play...

    Tim Fisher

    He knew there would be a reaction, unless he is a total arse (which of course he is). It could have descended into something very unsavoury and it was stupidly provocative on his part.

    Tim Fisher

    Have SISU stopped his petrol allowance. He's one step away from megabus.

    Match Thread Chesterfield - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Sep

    Is any of the back line or midfield actually fit to play? By all accounts Maycock and Shipley looked lively when they came on last night.

    Transfer Rumour Tom Davies - Pompey

    If fit I'd start Thomas upfront with McNulty on Saturday. Ponticelli or Nazon on the bench. As said we don't have the luxury of just being able to endlessly sign players until it clicks.

    CCFC 10 years from now...

    Looking back probably ending up in the top flight and maintaining our position for so long was all one massive fluke. Maybe this is our level.
