Over the years since relegation from the Premier League 90% of the days have been bad. The good days have been so few and far between.
Today was one of those rare good days. Some inspired performances, some strong leadership, a real strategy from the management and an overall feeling of optimism. No one would have left thinking they had not enjoyed the day.
The crowd were unified and positive. There was a strong atmosphere and a desire to succeed.
The forum is deluged with negativity. This surely has to end. We have no hope of new owners. Now at least the club looks to be thinking like a football club. We have the most experienced and best manager in the league and he has his backroom staff.
Surely the fans need now to give this a go. The worst thing to happen is the crowds drop for the next two less glamorous games. That would send a very negative message. Time for fans to give it a go.
The club needs committed owners but needs fans to show commitment as well. Its a critical season and fans need to play their part.
Very much agree with this !! Winning football will get the fans back! Some off the link up played was quality today. Mowbray is a proper manager and says it how it is ! Also thought the ref had a very good game today which isn't usually the case at this standard !!

I'd agree, apart from the Vincelot yellow card! That should've been our free kick!
Looked a bit of an old codger didn't he.
I agree with Grendal on this.
Said It when that lad posted on here about holding some meetings to find a way forward last season, simple choice either with or against, there Is currently nothing to be achieved through being against.
Nothing wrong a certain level of scepticism but huge things are at risk for the football club If current financial targets and better aren't met.
Depends in what way 'burying the hatchet' is meant.
In terms of the team if it does well then yes of course. But then, even if it does badly if the players are trying their best, it seems harsh to turn against them either - surely when it comes to the team we can all agree we want to will them on to success, and that should never be divisive? If it's a 'bury the hatchet because the club has been told it has to support itself, and the team deserves its support' then sure, why not? No possible reason why not.
But there are still underlying club / owner and more issues that won't go away, and there will be times and events that rear their head throughout this season and beyond. If the team does well, that doesn't automatically mean all is rosy, and it doesn't mean that criticism shouldn't be meeted out if deserved. We can't bury our heads in the sand about the very real dangers and difficulties either.
Surely, however, both can be split? Don't we, after all, all want to watch a winning fun team even if it's despite our owners, rather than because of them? Isn't there a big difference between encouraging players who have no control over off-field matters, and accepting situations that are uncomfortable and less than ideal?

The problem is that there is an undercurrent of negativity and almost a desire for failure so the owners can be lambasted.
The stance by some is far too extreme and if you took an absurd optimistic stance and said they would get promoted twice in succession I suspect some genuinely would rather that did not happen with the present owners
Quite frankly I would think that given the importance of success in the world of the modern fan they would take 2 promotions with the BNP in charge of the club let alone SISU
SBK and Blueflint wouldn't. Nor would the hierarchy of the Sky Blue Trust. Joe Elliot will have a migraine.

I thought it was a bit strange you mentioning about burying the hatchet
Those who insist on staying away whilst sisu are at the helm are creating more harm than good. Sometimes you have to override principle.
So we can agree that Sisu are forgiven now and the JR is just something going nowhere and will blow out ?
Also, the Ricoh is our home and we can now all work with Wasps to make it a joint affair.
We can certainly agree we have the makings of a team and a few additions will give us flexibility in tactics and for injuries.
The council and Higgs are out the equation so we don't need to mention them again.
Oh yea I now have my away shirt so Mr Waggott can get on with running the club.
Onwards and upwards.
Not so sure about a joint affair, but we certainly should at least get our foot firmly in the door.
The ultimate aim of all Coventrarians should surely be to get Wasps out of the Ricoh and out of our city and back as close to London as is humanly possible.
Good post Hobo.The fans can make this club. It doesn't matter whether you are a season ticket holder or whether you haven't been since SISU arrived...are you a Sky Blues fan in your heart? Let's start being proud of the fact and proud of our history and proud of Coventry as a City.
We have a young side representing us, so let's stand together beside them. Time for a vociferous siege mentality inside and outside the ground, help create the feelgood factor and be proud to be a Sky Blues fan.
Some people want the club to fail under Sisu so they can stick two fingers up. SBK claims he has the support of 15,000 who will not attend - as I am Mr Estimated Fact I have to take his word for this - I am sure you do as well
