It’s random. It was a clear penalty yesterday
What are you actually suggesting, that officials in the Championship are part of an organised campaign to get us relegated?
I really am sorry to keep banging on about this but it is starting to seriously piss me off and all I want for my team is justice and a fair crack of the whip in games this season. This is another game against a southern based team where you can almost predict Luton getting a penalty which has us all bewildered and angry . Failing this we have a player sent off in controversial and mysterious circumstances. In fact the only surprise to me thus far this season is that we haven't had both in the same match. .
It isn't as if we are a dirty or even overtly physical side. So what is it? Why did O'Hare not get awarded a penalty against Derby but the Rotherham penalty award which was almost identical but not quite as blatant did?
Yesterday because we were so thrilled with the win we shrugged off yet another penalty award against us as the referee feeling sorry for Rotherham. There is never a referee giving us freebies because they feel sorry for us. Blackburn could have put 10 past us and the referee would not have batted an eyelid.
Last season Sunderland launched an inquiry into why they were conceding so many penalty kicks which they felt were not warranted. I have no idea what the result of this investigation was but the moral is that they signposted what they felt was an issue rather than just grin and bear it and I feel that the time has come for us to do the same.
I believe that Coventry like every other football club should be the recipient as well as the donor of penalty kicks when they are warranted and should have players sent off as well as see players from the opposition sent packing when they are involved in serious foul play. What concerns me is the phrase they were given the benefit of the doubt always seems to apply to the team we are playing and not to us.
As for this game if we get a fair crack of the whip a narrow 1 nil win.
No I am not suggesting that. What I am suggesting is that people see what they want to see and subconsciously favour one thing over another for whatever reason. Once there is a trend, Coventry give away penalty kicks then it is very easy to make assumptions based on the trend, Coventry foul the opposition in the penalty box, which can be wholly inaccurate. However when there is a trend emerging which is unwarranted then I believe it needs to be challenged.What are you actually suggesting, that officials in the Championship are part of an organised campaign to get us relegated?

That is my view anyway.
You need to have a lie down. Rotherham were awarded a penalty before cause of a foul, not a southern based conspiracy.I really am sorry to keep banging on about this but it is starting to seriously piss me off and all I want for my team is justice and a fair crack of the whip in games this season.

I am going to have a lie down in a darkened room. I will watch the highlights of West Brom against Crystal Palace.You also used Forest as part of your conspiracy yesterday - their player handballed it on the line to stop a certain goal. There is no bias
They may well be, though to note they have probably had the 'easiest' set of fixtures thus far. They've picked up a strong 15 pts against the bottom 5, but have struggled otherwise.
Barnsley (W)
Derby (W)
Watford (L)
Wycombe (W)
Stoke (L)
Millwall (L)
Sheff Weds (W)
Forest (W)
Brentford (L)
Rotherham (W)
Huddersfield (D)
Blackburn (D)
Birmingham (D)
Cardiff (L)
Norwich (W) - Norwich even more depleted than when we played them.
Swansea (L)
We will still finish above youThey’re beat the teams they should be beating we’ve done the same so far it’s what keep you up.
I think 3 is the maximumI’d snap your hand off for 4 points here.
He’s not Ben Stevenson FFSOur hone form has been pretty good, all in all. So I think this will be a draw. A win would be really good result.
Unchanged, if possible, probably Giles for McCallum if he is tired.
Fancy us to beat Luton tbhI think 3 is the maximum
Jokes already been made young JohnnyI think 3 is the maximum
Yeah but don’t forget I’m 7 hrs behind you.Jokes already been made young Johnny
It was a stonewall penalty. He got nowhere near the ballIt’s random. It was a clear penalty yesterday
Not sure how to approach this one, but think 4 points ought to be the target for next week.
But Rotherham are a Northern team so I dont get your point ?I really am sorry to keep banging on about this but it is starting to seriously piss me off and all I want for my team is justice and a fair crack of the whip in games this season.

I think we'll keep two up top but maybe revert to the midfield sitting deeper.
Perhaps bring Sheaf in for O'Hare and maybe use Callum as an impact sub later in.

Do you have link to explain what any of you rankings posts are based on / mean?!
I’d snap your hand off for 4 points here.
Think I'd go with the don't change a winning team theory unless there are injurys.
