Coventrians or whatever you call yourselves, calling Bradford a shit hole is quite amusing. Perhaps you should put down your lap tops or whatever else you have in your hands and take a walk through the "city" you actually live in. I'd rather go to Hull and that IS a shit hole.

City of culture for 2017 - and Leicester was in the running - enough said. By the way, Saltaire Bantam seems ok to me, so let's cut the crap trading insults over who's got more terraced slums than who. ;)

Many fair points but I think (1) Pressley's response to calling Bradford's style of football 'antique' was a reaction to Parkinson's abusive comments after the game. I guess blacksheep you haven't read that, or the fact Parkinson called Pressley and apologised. That actually showed both managers had acted out of character and moved on, so I cannot understand why you bring it up as both managers say it is history.J (2) I was mightly impressed with Wells. He lead the line impressively but if he is sold in the January window, which seems a possibility, yur team with lack either a goalscorer, or a star player. CCFC on the ther hand have a whole squad qh play together as a team and if one left in the window could easily be replaced. (3) I, for one, would never look down on a smaller or lesser team. Bradford, and teams like them. are going up the league from Div 2 to Div 1. They had a trip to Wembley which is praise worthy, but we, and the like of Wolves and Sheff Utd are bigger teams who have been going down ver the past few years. For me I am enjoying going to grounds like Orient, Crawley, Walsall and Bradford. To be honest I think we will be in this league one or two seasons whereas teams like Bradford will be a fixture in Div 1 for years to come.

And Coventry won't struggle if either or both Wilson & Clarke are sold in January ? Clarke is a football mercenary, 15 clubs and he's still only 28 - he never stays anywhere for long, often because he falls out with the manager.

True, we rely heavily on Hanson & Wells, Hanson is developing into a beast who dominates defenders, just like he did with your lot for most of the game on Sunday. Wells is just amazing, 25 goals last year and 12 in 12 this year. Both are potentially off in January if the price is right, but Wells has the best part of two years left on a contract and Hanson is about to sign a new one, and we don't need to sell. We are a club (finally) in decent financial health and if we want to reject offers for both we will.

Coventry on the other hand can not possibly survive on gates of 2,500 or less at Coventry where they woon't be getting any advertising income and a maximum of £50,000 income every two weeks. The chances are you will have to sell before we do, possibly both of them and Moussa - take those three out and you have a team with a half decent midfield and a shocking defence.

If I were you lot I'd be seriously worried because your income stream must mean you are exceeding the 60% salary cap and given this is based on the current financial year not past ones (we know this because our windfall last year can't be used to boost our salary bill due to the cap) you have a major problem around the corner which means you need another income stream or could face another points deduction.

I've got no truck with Coventry, from an attacking point of view you are the best team we've played in the last two years with the only exception being Swansea. I hope you can keep it up because overcoming that 10 point deduction to get into the playoffs would be immense.

However, like most BCFC fans we have to take exception with the pathetic accusation that we are a long ball team.

We are a team that has many different cards up it's sleeve and use them to match the teams we play, in your case Parky rightly identified that you had a weak centre and hit it hard. Not withstanding that, Reid still tore a hole in your right backs arse, just a shame he can't cross.

Your problem will be that if you only play that way you will be sussed out and five across the middle/ five across the back will become the norm. Our formation is almost 4/2/4, how the hell is that long ball dark age stuff and you should ask Preston, Brentford, Wolves and other teams if they consider us to be long ball because for long periods of games all of them were running scared of our wing play.

God help Elvis if he thinks we are long ball, just wait till Tranmere come to town and inflict their neanderthall football on you. They make you look amateurs at time wasting.

You had a great first 15 minutes on Sunday, and many on here are saying we scraped a point, but you need to remember that wouldn't have been the case had we had Andrew Davies fit. Not only is he about a million times better, stronger, faster of thought and able to defend better than Matthew Bates but he brings the best out of Rory McArdle who frankly had an appalling game on Sunday, probably due to not arriving back from Turkey with the NI team until the early hours of Sunday morning.

Good luck, I genuinely hope you can keep hold of Wilson & Clarke and get promoted because it must be horrendous going 40 years without at least one promotion.

Oh yes, relish the score at Stadium MK today, thing is all three goals came from our dark age wing play, remember them the number 7 tore your full back a new arsehole for 20 minutes last week.

And as for Dark Age football, how did you lot get against the true dark masters of football and their blatant time wasting tactics.

There's passing football and theres too much passing football.

Coventry highlights start at 56:20.

....Like for Tranmere's fifth goal yesterday, when two Coventry players are faffing around playing five a side in a dangerous area, they get tackled and Tranmere slot in for a fifth.

There is a time and a place for hoof Mr Pressley.

Dark Age football highlights start from 50:28 btw

Now you@ve played all three masters of the dark arts and not done really well !! THe mark of a great team is one who can overcome any style. That's why we arent a great team because we can't overcome the park the bus mob like Tranmere and Notts County.

How's that bouncing coming along Covisgod? Mind you, we don't have much to brag about with a bore draw against bottom of the table Notts County!

Now Fleck has chipped in!

If your management had bothered to do any sort of research on Bradford City before our game it was obvious that we would play that way against your terrible centre backs. We don't always play that way (see the Preston game and Wolves game for proof) but we're capable of changing our style of play to suit the opponents.

If your "saviour" of a manager had bothered to do his homework he would have known this.

And the fact that Callum Wilson is quoted as saying you thought the game was over after just 7 minutes - well I'd be embarrassed to be a Coventry City fan.

The whole thing reeks of arrogance and it's clear you thought you just had to turn up and "do your thing" and you would stroll away with 3 points.

Before Sunday I, like many Bradford City fans, had a massive amount of respect for how Presley has started to turn around your club (by the way, to see how a manager ACTUALLY turns around a club, see 21st in League Two to promotion and a cup final in 1 season). However after Sunday, I personally would love to see you fail because the club from top to bottom has a massive chip on it's shoulder and this "the world is against us" attitude is a joke.

The real shame is the team is decent. Pity you have an arrogant pillock for a manager who believes after 9 months in the English game that he can swagger around with his fist pumps and "we're hard done to" attitude embarrassing all of you.

I mean the fact that everyone at Coventry are conveniently forgetting that two of your 3 goals were hopeful long balls lumped up to your strikers, and you should've ended with 9 men - but it's fine, you just keep blaming the opposition for changing their style of play to something that you couldn't defend against to cover up your own failings as a manager Presley.

I already know the type of replies this post will get - don't bother because I've heard it all before and I've seen enough since Sunday to know you all follow Presley like sheep with this "everybody hates us" attitude.

They didn't before Sunday. They probably do now though.

This is a Coventry City forum, for Coventry City fans, whether we support our manager or not does not concern you at all. Bore off you massive twat.
