    Imagine 6 years ago.!

    I think some people were excited when John Sillett got the sack and we had Terry Butcher come in as player manager. Let’s hope things go better this time. Are Lampard and Van Nistleroy going to be better than Robins? I would just hope that King and whoever is advising him really have a plan as...

    Doug King - calling it as it should be.

    If the team aren’t playing well and do not look like progressing, I can see a big downturn in ST sales. You could say that the same would have happened under MR if the season continued as it has started. I think people would have had more faith in Robins and his ability to produce another...

    Doug King - calling it as it should be.

    Saka and Milan played the first few games of the season together until Saka was injured against Blackburn (I think). Since then we have changed formation and don’t play with wingers if starting with 3 at the back. Saka has started two of the last three games as a number ten. As he can use both...

    Attendance

    I’m not sure where the 11k comes from. By my calculations (which may be wrong), 5 years ago we were in our League One Championship season playing at St Andrews. I think our average attendance there was in the region of 6k? I would have thought our average at the moment is about 25k at least...

    Average league position since 1967

    Tommy Hutch could do with one, acknowledged as our greatest ever player. That would make us a five statue club. I don’t think that’s a problem.

    Match Thread Coventry City-SWFC Match Thread- Saturday 5th October

    I would have thought that the sports science imput would have indicated that Jamie Allen was fine to play again. I’m sure Robins would have been given the all clear to start all of those players again. Perhaps shows that even science isn’t an exact science.

    Allen Injured

    I know it was only a friendly and also only against a League One team but I was really impressed with his performance against Stevenage. He looked a cut above the Stevenage midfielders.

    Allen Injured

    Giving David Bell a four year contract? Selling Lucas Jutkiewitz in relegation threatened season with no replacement being signed and the money not made available? Selling Wilson to Bournemouth and accepting 4 useless loan players as part of the deal? Just three Sisu transfer decisions off the...

    Ex Player Watch

    I remember Marvin Sordell getting clattered at Fleetwood in one of Tony Mowbray’s last games in charge. It was a wet, cold day and Marvin was lying there in the mud in the penalty area at the away end and had received no protection from the disinterested referee. He was obviously in pain and as...

    What’s with the trend of ….

    In the sense that the attitude seems to be a really selfish one with regard to both sitting in an allocated seat and standing ( even if it means others can’t see), I think it’s the same issue. You say ‘if you don’t like it don’t go’. How about having a bit of sympathy and empathy for those who...

    What’s with the trend of ….

    I don’t see why the away day experience has to involve wandering about trying to find a seat just because someone else thinks it’s okay to sit/stand in yours. In the League2/League1 days it didn’t matter so much as we rarely sold out. I would ask a steward if it was sit anywhere or if we were...

    Could have been a game against Sheffield United, early 70s which was abandoned in the second half with us losing 2-0. We won the replayed game 3-2 I think.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    Some really daft statements on here already. Four games unbeaten, three wins including the great performance against Oxford in the league. All of this without our best player. He may have spent £45 million on this squad but he has also lost £40 million plus worth of talent. When you see Robin’s...

    I think Allen will start if Sheaf isn’t fit and the midfield three will be Rudoni, Eccles and Allen.
