I'm always a bit worried after an international break , as i think momentum could be an issue however a 2-1 win for City Goal from Torp and Simms and hopefully a 15/20 minute cameo from Rudoni

I think we got a break at the right time, a few weeks for Rudoni to get match fit, EMC to recover from concussion...slight concern over how Wright comes back but it didn't do Dasilva any harm and if anything the games for Wales seem to be helping him.

When Dawn Astle (MBE) lays the boot in on match ticket pricing strategy, I think it’s time for a complete overhaul of your business plan.
Come on Doug, get a grip - You’re making us all look silly.

With all due respect to her but why should we listen to her about ticket prices? The historical impact of head injuries on professional footballers yes, the economics of ticket pricing not so much

Wright wasn't playing that well anyway

Agree that it came at a decent time, we had a few players with recent injuries (Eccles, Torp, Thomas, EMC) and some key players that played a lot of minutes in a 2 week period.

My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek.
They appear to be piling in on their message boards - Even going as far as to quote some messages left by (alleged) City fans.
And that was before Dawn added her tuppence worth.

There's always a reason behind these things. We can discount the 'he's not very good' line so is it down to fitness, psychology, missing Rudoni from the side or a combination? I'd hoped his last call-up would've given him an added boost after he scored some cracking goals, but he came back well below par.

Maybe he comes back from a below-par international break all fired up? Hope so.

Don’t think he works with BTA playing central. He needs service. When Rudoni comes back in I bet he starts scoring again.

These nobheads do have an annoyingly good record against us to be fair. Hopefully this weekend we can go some way to rebalancing that!

Their forum is very mixed . A very seemingly privileged bunch , who aren’t happy that “ little Coventry “ are top of the pile & dilutional as to their demise, which has been coming over a good few seasons.
They are crap at following their team in numbers , as Saturday’s local derby shows .
Forget the prices , just any excuse baggies , when your having another crap season
4 - 0 to the rampant Skyblues

It's a poor league so far this year, in fairness. I can't be arsed to look back, but it must have been a long time since the 3 teams relegated from the PL all had such a poor start. The rest of the bunch aren't much cop either (Stoke were apparently the 2nd best team in the league the other week).

That's not taking it away from us playing as well as we've played in decades, but throwing in some balance (my opinion of balance anyway).

Poor league based on what? Why do people always judge it as a poor league when the relegated teams don’t start so well?

It’s not poor at all.

Quality at the top end of the league. Average teams, with many players that would struggle to cut it in the PL. However blinkered you would like to see it, we're above an average bunch at the minute.

I didn’t want to start a new thread just for this query!… I’m getting the train from the North West on Saturday morning to Nuneaton as it’s the quickest. Usually I stay with family for the weekend and I’ve never been to the CBS via Nuneaton.

Other than catching the once an hour train to the arena, does anyone from Nuneaton area have any advice on best transport to the arena or how much a taxi would be? Thanks in advance.

It would be about 15 quid from Nuneaton train station to the CBS in an uber. Or you could walk five mins to the bus station and get on the 148 which goes to Longford and costs 3 quid for a single. The buses are every 10 mins or so

Most of our XI wouldn’t cut it either. Doesn’t make it a poor league.

A lot of us were.
Myself and a schoolmate queued for ages at the Thackhall St turnstiles, and were some of the first in, to claim our spot near the middle of the covered end.
Couldn't believe the numbers overflowing everywhere by kick-off.

Doesn't help that the 3 relegated were abysmal. That's just carried on.

Dont agree it's a poor league.

This league has never had the likes of Birmingham/Wrexham and Charlton who also spent about 10million go up.

Its crazy competitive. Id argue it's never been so competitive top to bottom if you disregard Wednesday.

If the parachute teams who got battered week in week out in the PL last season came down and were in the top 3 in the Championship then I'd see a stronger argument for claiming the Championship is 'poor'. The fact that they aren't surely proves the opposite.

They dont need pauses in game play anymore for adverts. I watch a fair few South African and Asian streams and they simply minimise the live footage to a portion of the screen and have adverts in the remaining space. Won't be long before we get that.

Sky are already doing it in Australia:

Yeah I agree, it's definitely not a poor league at all, like you say it's very competitive with more strength in depth. The promoted sides have spent a fortune and none of them will be anywhere near relegation.

Ipswich look like they are coming on strong now. It's good that the other 2 parachute sides have got their own struggles this season (Leicester potential points deduction, Southampton change of manager). Them factors have helped make it a bit more of an even playing field than in previous years where the parachute sides have ran away with it.
