I put doomed but we can do it. Recruitment is key. Obviously
The big shame is if we do stay up what does next year entail?

Can he play at centre half or play as a sweeper ? Because we need some Divine Intervention to save us from Relegation . :angelic:

Current squad, I fear relegation. Bit difficult to predict until we've seen if Slade can work some magic when the windows opens and get some decent loans in.
It works both ways the transfers though - maybe a few are underperforming because they want out? Replacements might bring a fresh desire to the whole team.

I have voted to stay up, but it all depends on recruitment in January. Having lost 7 league games on the trot, we need to change the team significantly to enable us to send out a team that doesn't think it's going to lose every game. It's stating the obvious, but we need to start a game by taking the lead, not going behind, with the consequent loss of morale/confidence. I think we have some decent players, if we can add in some experience and strength during the transfer window, then we can climb the league. We can be better than a number of teams in this league, and we are still in touch after losing 7 games.

In all my years as a City fan (since 1963), I can honestly say that this is the worst I have felt about our future. Even in the bad old days when we were in the (old) First Division (and later) Premier League and faced almost annual relegation, I always thought, "Yeah, but we're Coventry City! We'll survive!" And we always did. Well, until Strachan took us down! (Bastard!) This situation we're in really scares me. My heart bleeds Sky Blue. My old Mum (bless her) was born in Cork City, but became a die-hard City fan as did her brother, my Uncle (also Cork born). My Dad was also nuts on City and it just carried on with me. I have never felt so down about the club I love and really feel we are heading for the bloody Conference League. It is going to take a major miracle or a Godsend investor to turn this club around, because Mr Slade (bless him) sure can't do it with Sisu at the helm.

Almost 60% have us doomed. Not a great result us it?
Be interesting to see of those 60% what you will say if we stay up?
Personally I'm certain we will stay up so I'll have egg on my face and eat my hat if we don't.
It's sad to me that 60% of our own supporters have little belief left even with the introduction of a manager who most actually wanted?

Hoping more than anything - like the days of the late '60's & '70's - "just survive by the skin of teeth". Please!

Are people really losing the plot so much they can't actually read what is in front of them before going off?

Think you need to ask the same question again at the end of Jan when the transfer window closes.
What we do in January is going to be the key to whether we survive or not and as we have absolutely no idea what is going to happen yet, I do think it is to early to nail colours to the mast.

I agree O but this was just to see how the depth of feeling and how our plight is affecting us right now before we see any changes in the window and just to see how some can be very damming of our chances regardless it seems? Some people have nailed their flag to the mast it already.
A few not so sure which are probably the ones thinking about January dealings as you point out. This is about opinion among us now not some point in the future. Its about our chances in this moment. You can run another one O after the window has closed

Too early to call, with our current form it's a tough ask, However with 6 loans coming to a end at least 5 of which are usually involved in the match day 18 a 1/3 of that squad will change as a minimum.
Based on that there is still hope... just.
We've the best man in the job of we are to do it.

We should be fucked, but amazingly there are a few other teams doing as shit as we are. January is important, we need to get the right players in and get rid of as much of the useless shite as we can. Then hopefully settle into Slades style of play. I think we'll survive, just.

Where did I say you called it a success?
I just pointed out it's hardly a success just surviving in league 1. If we do that is.

I wasn't going off Nick. I just stated myself it's not a success just staying up in league 1. Don't you agree?

After the shite start it would be now for Slade, a different success to winning the league.
However, it's a bit weird that he didn't say it was but you quoted him to tell him something he already knows?

But the thing is, we all know that the side we see out there in the next few weeks is going to be vastly different to the side we see out there today.I agree O but this was just to see how the depth of feeling and how our plight is affecting us right now before we see any changes in the window and just to see how some can be very damming of our chances regardless it seems?

We therefore could be just as bad, worse, or better.
Pretty much everyone is saying it is dependent on what happens in January.
We know McCann is going and we know loans are up and it is also looking increasingly likely that Stevenson will be sold.
Looking like it will be quite a different looking team out there soon.

Bloody hell, you've been on here too much. I was just stating it wasn't a success when stupot said we could just stay up in the last day.
I wasn't accusing him of anything and then you came along to have a pop. It's not really that "weird" to say cov just staying in league 1 isn't a success. (My opinion)
No conspiracy theory I promise you.

Who said it was a conspiracy? Just that he didn't say or claim it was a success.
