The good old days when we didn't waste 7m on players! And fans were happy!
How times have changed. State of that 11.
My lowest point came at Rochdale away under Robins actually , one of his first games back .. lost 2-0 , we were just doomed to relegation , Rochdale fans laughing at us , city fans cheering sarcastically with a shot , Rochdale fans joining in ... we had 5 shots 0 on targetThis team lost 0-3 at home to Swindon in Jan 2015, the team isn't that bad but we were 2 down after 20 mins, it was a small 7,000 crowd this was my lowest point as a Cov fan, we were totally outclassed.

Besides the 4-1 thrashing at Bristol Rovers, the nadir for me was the 2-1 defeat at Bury. Midweek and utterly miserable with everyone in the back 4 actually a CB.My lowest point came at Rochdale away under Robins actually , one of his first games back .. lost 2-0 , we were just doomed to relegation , Rochdale fans laughing at us , city fans cheering sarcastically with a shot , Rochdale fans joining in ... we had 5 shots 0 on target

I barely remember some of those names (Rawson, Turnbull, Reilly). Rose was decent, but didn't quite fit with our play. Always thought Kelly-Evans looked decent (Dion, not Declan) but has played at Non League level since leaving. Tudgay...Jesus. Slow, never scored and picking up his last pay cheque.
I was away in Thailand at the time, remember thinking how grim the scoreline lookedThis team lost 0-3 at home to Swindon in Jan 2015, the team isn't that bad but we were 2 down after 20 mins, it was a small 7,000 crowd this was my lowest point as a Cov fan, we were totally outclassed.

Well this time 6 years ago we were pleased to have lured Michael Doyle back to the club and our big international signing was BiamouThe PTSD still runs strong in our fan base. No joke, at the start of last season when we were winless for a while - someone sent a text to CWR discussing the possibility of Russell Slade coming back to, I quote: 'Steady the ship'. I have a theory that it was @Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue - although he denies it.
It isn't really surprising that we don't know how to behave when we actually sign some decent players. The level of trauma is disturbing. Probably understanding given what we've had to put up with over the years.
With Michael doyle came Mark McNulty as Doyle who played with him at Pompey was instrumental in getting him to join usWell this time 6 years ago we were pleased to have lured Michael Doyle back to the club and our big international signing was Biamou
Clearly you didn't think much of him, given his name is Devon.I barely remember some of those names (Rawson, Turnbull, Reilly). Rose was decent, but didn't quite fit with our play. Always thought Kelly-Evans looked decent (Dion, not Declan) but has played at Non League level since leaving. Tudgay...Jesus. Slow, never scored and picking up his last pay cheque.
Rawson is still only 27!Think losing 2-0 to Southend after 2 early goals was worse I seen it. I never leave early but wanted too that night.

Evidently such a grim period of history I have wiped it clear from my memory.
So bleak.
Totally conditioned to accept mediocrity at that point, I was actually quite excited at the prospect of Rose coming in for LA Galaxy II
