    Freudian slip on 5Live

    Just been listening to 5 Live and leading up to the news at 12 there was a section and phone in all about Nigel Farage and UKIP's problems and that of a challenge to Farage's leadership and that of Patrick Flynn, the economics spokesperson for UKIP, accusing the leader of being a snarling, thin...

    20 goal a season striker, main priority

    CT: Tony Mowbray’s first task once he’s signed on the dotted line is to find two 20-goal-a-season strikers to fire Coventry City out of League One. The 51-year-old is set to commit himself to a long-term contract after receiving assurances from owner Joy Seppala that he will be given the...

    Andy Turner - Review of the season

    The good, the bad and the plain ugly... Andy Turner's review of Coventry City 2014/15 The good Every City fan will agree that the bad and the ugly far outweighed the good – and what little good there was quickly evaporated before our eyes. The glorious return to the Ricoh, for example, gave...

    Jack Grealish

    Good enough to play for England? Only seen little snippets of him, but I see that he was born in England, but has Irish grandparents and can't make his mind up whether to play for Republic of Ireland or England. Obviously we want him if he's good enough, or going to be good enough, don't we...

    Dave Beasant

    Anyone else got the Stevenage v Southend game on Sky now? Dave Beasant is the Stevenage sub keeper, on the bench tonight. He is 56! :o He would be the oldest ever player in the professional game if he comes on. Anyone else got their fingers crossed?

    Penalties

    I heard Clive Eakin say we missed the last 3 penalties of last season and now of course, we have only scored 1 in 5 this season. That is shocking. 1 in 5? Lack of backbone and and mental strength? Or just down to lack of confidence?

    Steve Cotterill on how to build a title winning side Find a formation that suits "We were already playing the 3-5-2 at the end of last season, so it's a formation I'd been looking at for a little while," Cotterill told BBC Sport. "But what I needed to do was make it better than the season...

    If we WERE relegated

    Let's just talk hypothetically for now, but if it were to happen, which players would stay? I know there's been lots of talk of who we should get rid of, but I am coming from a different angle and just wondering which of our squad would choose to stay and remain here? We'd have the kids...

    No news on Pennington

    Is that 'no news is good news?' Usually a player gets a scan after the game and we all get to hear word of the scan by Monday as to how bad the damage is. Nowt from the club yet. Would say our chances are greatly improved with him in the back four. Aaron Martin scares me at times and if Willis...

    Goals from set pieces

    I know there's been a few posts here and there about us not getting many pens and also missing pens this year, but just wondered, have we scored directly from a free kick this season? I can't recall any at all.

    Is anyone going to do the player ratings ....

    And give any player more than a 5? Can't think of many that warrant it. Proschwitz perhaps? Reda? 5's and below for Philips, Fleck, Barton, Nouble, Stokes, Burge, Ward (worst game I have seen from him in a City shirt).

    Hats off to FC United?

    4 promotions in 10 years, average of around 2,000 for home games and now just one division short of the Conference. Also now moving to a new stadium. Not bad going that is it.

    Are Wasps still considered a London side?

    Just wondering. Was in London today and picked up and Evening Standard and looking at the sports pages, I saw that in the Aviva rugby league table it reads as ; Northampton Saracens Bath Exeter Leicester Wasps Both Wasps and Saracens highlighted in bold. Have Wasps still got the London tag...

    Man accidentally sends a video to his girlfriend of him having sex with his dog

    WTF!!! Depraved David Buchanan, 34, decided to have a romp with the pet Rhodesian Ridgeback while his partner was at work. But, as he watched porn, he filmed the sickening act on a tablet computer - without realising it was automatically linked to her mobile phone. His girlfriend was...

    What do you do when the opposition score against us?

    Just wondering. I see some QPR fans were getting very irate at Chelsea's last minute winner yesterday and started throwing stuff at the Chelsea players and one even encroached onto the pitch. So, what do you do? Do you get angry? Jump out of your seat and wave your arms at our defence? I see...

    Would you start Maddison on Tuesday, or keep him on the bench?

    If he's fit enough I think it's worth giving him a go from the start. He adds a freshness to the team and offers something a little bit different. As Nouble isn't doing much at all on the pitch at the mo, maybe we could play Proschwitz up front, with Maddison just behind. Just looking at...

    So, looking like Blackpool, Millwall and Wigan coming down to League 1

    Is there anything for us to fear from any of those teams in terms of fighting for promotion places for next season? In other years I have seen which teams are coming down and thought that one or 2 could well be strong challengers for the following season, but I am not convinced that is the case...
