    Realistic Expectations next season

    I have to confess to a certain amount of nervousness about next season, but when I look at the bottom half of the Championship table I see QPR, Reading, Stoke, Sheff Wed, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield, Luton, Birmingham and Barnsley. Add Rotherham and Wycombe to this list and I feel a whole lot...

    The worse thing about next season-

    We have about as much chance of stopping the moaners as we have of getting the 'should of' brigade to cut across to 'should have'.

    Free agent fan.

    Never a dull moment. I've seen them play in 10 different divisions, 4 trips to Wembley, the greatest cup final ever, the very best fans, passion, intrigue, never knowing what's going to happen next ….. what's not to like? Those who support the 'top' clubs don't know what they're missing.

    ‘If’ we are promoted what do we need to compete in Championship?

    You're quite correct. I consider myself out-pedanted.

    ‘If’ we are promoted what do we need to compete in Championship?

    Bartlett and Newton. Strictly speaking Rose was signed in the 2019 transfer window.

    The collective expertise of SBT required

    2003/4 was the season that Pead (7), Suffo (8) and Staunton (18) played for the Sky Blues. Finished 12th in what was then Division 1.

    Today is very special

    A notable high point in the 50's was that for a spell we had the current England goalkeeper, Reg Matthews, who played 5 times for England during 1956. Remarkable when you think about it. A great memory for me as he was a friend of my Auntie Bett and took my autograph album with him and collected...

    10 more would take us to 24 matches unbeaten. In the 1967 promotion-winning season we finished with a 25 match unbeaten run..

    In fairness he does say 'with just over 10 games to play' and 11 is just over 10.

    I never want to see us lose, but this has to be a good result for us, doesn't it? We're out of the Cup with our dignity intact so can concentrate on winning this league, and we've learned a bit more about the capabilities of our squad. And, as far as I know, we've incurred no injuries in the...

    Yesterdays Referee

    Just a few extracts from the BR GasChat Forum Ref 0 The most useless incompetent inconsistent pedantic fecking waste of space I've witnessed for quite some years. Ref 2 Blimey O'Reilly. Where do they get 'em? Ref 2 worst I've seen Ref 1. For turning up, he was horrendous! Mind you, they were...

    Match Thread Fleetwood Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 28th Jan

    Somewhat premature to be declaring Fleetwood as a 'must win' game. It is important to show that the cup run hasn't knocked us off our league stride. The replay with Brum will be our 13th cup game of the season. In our League 2 promotion season we played 9 cup games but, of course, we do have 2...

    Tatics at home

    Are we actually discussing whether we're better than last season? We've got 9 more points and have scored 10 more goals and conceded 3 less than at this stage last season.

    Tatics at home

    You'll find this thread on every team's forum. Rotherham, the current League 1 leaders, have lost at home this season to Rochdale and Lincoln, and drawn at home to Tranmere and Shrewsbury. It is indeed naïve to imagine that we should batter such sides.

    The "Half" way point

    Interesting to note that in the season we were promoted from League 2 we had 38 points after 23 games and McNulty had scored 10 goals in all games by then (same as Matt Godden).

    Wycombe fans view

    From their match thread ...... Amazing that Coventry aren't running away with this league. They are the best side we've played this season by an absolute mile How have Coventry not won away, their number 26 was a man possessed, and the wing backs were excellent. Men against boys..... Coventry...

    Resilience

    Any of you stattos know how many times we've won after falling behind this season? And how many times we did that in the whole of last season. Feels like a new, encouraging feature to our game.
