Wouldn't expect him to get a good reception surely? He abandoned ship at key point last season.

Always think the best action is to just do nothing. Neither applaud or boo.
There is a cloud over him leaving us, so would expect some to boo for sure.
Him and Mowbray had a huge row and Mowbray got rid as he was a pain in the arse. And so would I be when I produced performance after performance but was continuously dropped for inferior players.

Not interested in him wasn't very interested when he played for us, I hope that Mowbray will be looking to make use of his lack of positional discipline

Or Mrs. O'Brien.
Wasn't interested?? He was our hardest working player!

No I wasn't interested in him not questioning his ability to run around like a headless chicken
Was a key player for us in some of our big wins last season, but okay.

I think ultimately Jim should have been professional enough to deal with squad rotation. Jim was a good player against the right sort of team but often went missing through the game. Never looked really threatening in my opinion.

What cloud? Mowbrays attempt to deflect from one of many stupid errors by slagging a players attitude? Unprofessional by Mowbray - if we'd kept JOB we'd have crossed the play off line

I wouldn't say it was because he was there but we all see different things in different players.

He was not a team player. All he cared about was himself and my understanding is there was great unrest in the dressing room due to his selfish attitude. That's why TM shipped him out.

Some of his assists for Armstrong last season were superb.
I Liked the guy no issues at all with him, was harshly treated IMO, it was the beginning of the end for him after that error in losing his man at home to Walsall they equalised & that was it for him.
Good player at this level I'm sure he will be out to prove a point Saturday & I wouldn't be surprised to see him do it.

Mowbray said he wasn't - must be true
No, because scoring a goal doesn't make you a good player.

I actually quite liked the bloke as a player for us, but the love in for an ex player makes me cringe.

I wouldn't boo a former player, well not unless they'd had a pop at us after leaving but I don't really get the love in some fans have for ex-players. Clapping if they score and that kind of thing.
If its someone who was here a while or had a big impact and they acknowledge the city fans before or after a game then they might get a quick clap but that's as much as they'd get from me.

Your all Cunts! He was unhappy so decided he wanted to move nearer home. He was well over due a hernia operation by 2 years so moved and guess what? He went away and within a few games of man of the match he was injured as he needed................

Very surprised about the negative thoughts towards him, he was brilliant for us last season I though, fought hard and never gave up, he dragged us through the Peterborough game, we were dead and gone until he came on and he did that throughout his Coventry career.
Agree he wasn't a club icon or anything for us but he gave 100% whilst weve been at our lowest and I always appreciated that about him

Okay, all encompassing Oracle.
He went under a cloud. None of us know the actual truth of what happened.
Won't stop you from conclusion jumping though of course and having a definitive answer.
Yours is just an opinion, same as everyone else.
We don't know what went on and we have absolutely no idea whether we would have made the playoffs with him in the side. Absolutely no idea at all......
Don't let that stop you though.

Course it does. Grendel's opinion is never just an opinion and is always put forwards as fact.
None of us know the truth of what went on between the pair.

Extremely unlikely JOB would have made the difference in the play off chase, you're just making it up as it gives you more reason to have a go at the manager.
