    Now about that guy I didn't want called Robins...............

    I too had hoped for Wise. But MR has exceeded all expectations and has been truly brilliant. This man was clearly hungry to prove himself and for success. From being very worried about another relegation, it is now not unreasonable to hope for a top six finish. After that.... who knows! PUSB.

    The final 8 - Can we do this ?

    We have as good a chance as anyone else - probably better. As it has been over a quarter of a century since our last notable cup appearance, I like to think we are on track for a visit to Wembley again. We need championship form to finish in the top six and, although not impossible, this trophy...

    Who honestly thougt...

    It is unbelievable. It was not at all unreasonable, at the start of the season, to expect to be in the top third of the table with a 50/50 chance of a play-off place. It's almost as if somebody actually wants us to be relegated yet again!

    Thorn and shaw are useless.....

    Perhaps they need to buy those old Volvo car with huge rubber bumpers. Add a bump a point. Let's hope they get 90 bumps this season! :p

    RIP Ernie Machin

    Ernie was an integral part of our team in our early years in the top flight. Glazier; Coop; Cattlin; Machin; Curtis; Setters etc. Everyone played with total commitment back then - and they were all winners. RIP Ernie.

    The More I stare at The Fixture List.........

    Top six We were not only a top six side but actually topped the league around Christmas time in our first season in the Championship. After Strachan finally left, Roland Neilson came in and took us up to the very top. But sadly it didn't last and we gradually fell away and out of the top six...

    F.A Cup

    Let's hope we don't get drawn against Sutton United again!

    All time fave player!

    You're right. When we lashed out £100,000 (a record for a full back) on classy full back Wilf Smith from Sheff Wed, Chris Cattlin lost his place for a year or two. Mick Coop was hardly ever dropped and rarely got injured.

    All time fave player!

    Mick Coop I'm glad someone has remembered Mick Coop. Mick was a sound full back and was a regular for about 10 years. He rarely missed a penalty, was an excellent defender, could move up in to midfield and occasionally scored crucial goals. He was ultra reliable, not dirty and guaranteed us a...

    All time fave player!

    . Darren Huckerby was brilliant on his day, but don't forget why he was moved on. He needed constant and intensive coaching and, half the time, ran around like a headless chicken.

    All time fave player!

    We've had lots of good players and a few really classy players. I think Tommy Hutchinson was the classiest of all. He was athletic, intelligent, made time on the ball, skipped over tackles, set up goals and scored them too. It's easy to name half a dozen great Sky Blues, but Tommy was number one.

    Wednesday fan in peace!

    When we were in the top flight I spent many years dreading the drop, as I always figured that if we ever went down that we'd never get back up again. What I never banked on was being relegated again, to where we came from back in about 1964. If we are honest, we weren't too good to go down this...

    Bobby Gould on TalkSport

    They all seemed on a downer, talking about liquidation of the club as there is no money in Coventry and Sisu are flat broke. Worst case scenario, the club folds and ceases to exist. I think we need a small miracle if things are not to go from bad to worse.
