A Word on… The Attack

After finishing the previous season in such good form, it's been a real disappointment to see...

A Word on… The Midfield

Time for the next part of my player-by-player review of the past season. This time it’s the turn of the midfielders. Ben Sheaf It’s been a frustrating season for Ben Sheaf. Through injuries and poor form, we’ve barely been able to enjoy him at his best, and even when he has performed like his old … Continue reading A Word on… The Midfield →

A Word On… The Defence

Thank God that's over. There's so much to talk about when looking back over the season, and quite frankly it's a task I'll leave mostly to my peers. I would however like to go over each player in the squad and sum up their respective campaigns. This time out, I'll be waffling on about our … Continue reading A Word On… The Defence →

Talking Points – Exorcism

What's in a curse? At least, in football terms, it could all be chalked up to coincidence. We haven't beaten Preston North End in league competition since 2007, but there was a 6-year period in that time where both clubs' paths diverged into differing divisions, so knock those 18 years down to twelve, and that … Continue reading Talking Points – Exorcism →

Talking Points – Good Enough

At the end of last week, I said that we need to be at the races for our matches against Queen’s Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday. We ultimately weren’t at our best, but we were good enough to get two wins against teams that started the week in a similar position to us. QPR In … Continue reading Talking Points – Good Enough →

Talking Points

If I had to go over all the things that have happened since I last unleashed a rambling on this site, I would either have to rival Leo Tolstoy, or rework Billy Joel's 1989 pyro-denial mantra 'We Didn't Start The Fire'. Actually, that sounds like fun. Big Vik, Gus as well, Dabo's pen, bloody hell! … Continue reading Talking Points →

Swansong

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Unbeaten at home, and hosting a Swansea side with the worst away record so far this season in the division. Only a fool would predict what the outcome would be. The rest of us are football fans. Coventry City vs Swansea City - 02/11/21 Christ alive … Continue reading Swansong →

Can I Boro a Feeling?

As last season wore on, I started to notice a trend. Whenever there was a pause in our season; be it due to international breaks or COVID-19-related postponements, we would always manage to turn in a lethargic performance on our return to play. Needless to say, then, that with a tough run of fixtures coming … Continue reading Can I Boro a Feeling? →

Reading And Leads

It's almost as though the summer never really happened, isn't it? There was a lot of worry and a dash of negativity going into the start of the new season, as many Cov fans felt that the team hadn't really improved on what was at our disposal by the end of May. Matty James, Leo … Continue reading Reading And Leads →

Much Ado About Notting

Coventry City vs. Nottingham Forest - 08/08/2021 Sometimes, the size of the occasion can outweigh the occasion itself. After what feels like more than two seasons, we are finally back home. The Ricoh/Coventry Building Society ‘CBS’ Arena has missed out on promotion to, and survival in, the Championship. It has missed out on Liam Walsh, … Continue reading Much Ado About Notting →
