    'I love what Robins has done with that Cov team. No superstars, no egos - and they play good football to boot.' 'give Coventry a lot of credit. Best I have seen from a side against us at this level for a long time' 'supremely coached, well-drilled teams like Cov.'

    NEXT SEASONS PROMOTION CHALLENGE

    Maybe this has been covered on some other thread but, in the context of next season, I'm surprised that someone hasn't mentioned the dramatic decline in our home form. Simply put, we gained more points from our opening 6 home games than we have from the subsequent 17. Whatever the cause, this...

    .....who's a Fulham fan, points out to me that 20% of the goals that Fulham have conceded this season have been against us. Nice one.

    I was there when.....

    I was there in 1956 to see Steve 'Kalamazoo' Mokone make his debut. My Uncle Doug, famed for his insights, said that 'he looked as though he could do with a bloody good hot meal'.

    Surprising Stat?

    Only 7 teams in the league have scored more goals than us. But only 7 teams have conceded more goals than us. And yet, I have this perception of us as a team who struggle to score but are pretty tight at the back. Is it only me?

    Goal or no goal

    I can't be bothered to read through this entire thread, so apologies if someone has already made this point, but the diameter of a football is about 9 inches so for the entire ball to be over the entire line the base of the ball has to be over 4 and a half inches over the entire line. This is...

    Remaining points prediction

    True, but in that same time we've only lost to 2 of the better teams (QPR and Middlesbrough) and both times by the odd goal, with commendable draws at Blackburn, Sheffield United, Bournemouth and Huddersfield. 'Good season, nice progress' - have to agree

    Last season loanees

    As Mark Robbins replenishes his squad, he'll be thinking about players who could cope with Premier League football. The players being discussed here are struggling to get into Championship sides, so the best they would be is short-term stopgaps.

    Last season loanees

    Players respond, or not, to management styles and coaching. There are countless examples of players who did well with one club but not with another. Thanks goodness we have a good manager and good coaching. Long may it continue.

    Item Would you be happy?

    I suspect that there are very few Man City fans who prefer the City that was to the City that is. Ultimately, if the Sky Blues win I'm happy and if they don't I'm not. Thoughts of ownership and investment wouldn't cloud that feeling.

    Reading manager and the 8 minutes

    I think the FA had second thoughts about this rule after witnessing the amount of abuse players got as they trudged round the pitch and the potential for crowd trouble that brought with it. Referees now tend to cover this aspect in their briefing to the teams beforehand, but exiting to the...

    What is going on ?

    It's now clear to me that A P-B (Artificial Poster-Bot) is an advanced piece of AI which, having consumed the entirety of this forum, has been tasked with generating posts that will irritate the maximum number of members. I understand that it will replace an earlier prototype, released some...
