    FA Cup 4th Round

    That’s on the unexciting side but definitely winnable. I feel positive about it. C’mon City!

    Anybody else just want it to be May?

    For me, it's the slowness of our play and the preponderance of sideways and backwards passing that's left me feeling deflated. It's kind of ruined the pre-match excitement for me. I expected more freshness and new leaf type excitement with a new manager. Boxing Day showed how it could be...

    Match Thread Cardiff City - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

    The thing that upsets me most about a performance like this is the lack of effort and will to try and win a really winnable game. I might have taken a point before the game and definitely at half time but then the game was unexpectedly there for the taking in the second half. In rare moments we...

    Match Thread Portsmouth FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Dec

    This is a depressing watch. It’s a combination of things but I feel like I’m losing the love of watching City at the moment. For the first time in many many years I’m starting to think about the value of my season ticket next season. I was in the superstore yesterday, and found myself looking at...

    Confirmed : Lampard Head Coach

    I'm feeling positive and excited. It may have been purely down to negotiations but I don't think the time taken has been a bad thing. Without being disloyal to Mark because I remain sad he's gone, the last week or so I've found myself thinking more about Lampard, watching interviews with him...

    Neville Foulger

    That is sad new because I grew up with his excellent reporting. Seeing his name meant you were getting what you needed to know. To good journalistic standards and the volume and level of detail and research appropriate to the subject matter, i.e. a lot where needed. Not just soundbites and...

    CCFC announcement today

    When it wasn't announced on Saturday, I thought it wouldn't be until after the Burnley match. I'd want as straightforward and consistent pre-match routines as possible for Rhys and the coaching team and the players. In the press conference at the moment they can swat away questions on the...

    Josh Eccles

    I think he deserves his new contract and he's been our best player so far this season. Others may have had a game or patch where they've shone but Eccles has done his job consistently well, week in week out and is starting to show good leadership qualifies too. If Lampard does come in as...

    Thankyou mark , for everything

    Mark, if you read this thank you. I don't know where our club would be today with the loyalty you've shown through so many difficult periods. I'm sorry and ashamed we haven't treated you with the same loyalty in return. I have so many great memories of being a Sky Blues fan and you led us for...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    A pretty cold announcement in my view. MR has given me some of the best footballing memories of my life. I wish he had departed by mutual consent with lots of warmth and emotion in the announcement. The words are there about his achievements but it's all a bit too corporate and business like for...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Luton Town Match Thread - Saturday 26th Oct

    Really enjoyed that second half. I thought we were the better team throughout but it always feels like we have a mistake in us that could undermine all the good play. The second half team should play the next few games. I think players like Simms and Torp need to play themselves into consistent...

    And with that Simms chance....

    I don’t think any players are consistently coming out of games with any real credit at the moment. Little field of good play in games maybe, or signs that someone is getting back to their best. There seems to be a general air of malaise, low confidence, and poor team spirit and togetherness...

    Next manager thread

    I haven’t thought about other managers and I don’t really want to. I’ve loved following the Sky Blues under Mark Robins. If you’d told in the Northampton season that we’d win a trophy at Wembley, get promoted, have players like Gyokeres and Hamer in our shirt, watch matches like Notts County and...

    Car park C

    I don’t have the answer but it’s not a nice experience getting away by car now. We live locally too so I feel for fans who have a long drive ahead of them afterwards. Hopefully the buses are successful and they explore a few more routes. They know where many of us live so can surely see where...

    We said the same. He was excellent and at times looked really confident and positive on the ball.

    For those who were there at the start of it all

    Great message perennial lurker. I agree with you completely. I would definitely add the Notts County away leg of the play off semi final to the list. It's probably my favourite ever game, Wembley games included. The atmosphere was electric and the feeling of connection between fans and players...

    It won’t ruin mine either. I’ve been going long enough to know there are ups and downs and it’s 100% worth hanging in there for the ups. I’m not sure Doug will feel like that though. For all we know the failure to get going this season may lie at his door but he’s in charge, he’s at every game...

    Callum O'Hare

    I applauded because I feel proud that a player who is from our city and came through our youth system plays at the top level, including for England. I'd always applaud Callum Wilson for the same reason.
