    Thumbnail Off of the back of two emphatic victories Coventry fans could be forgiven for getting a little carried away. I was definitely one of them but this weekend showed we are not yet the finished article. Whilst it wasn’t another win that we all craved it was a hard fought point against a good Preston [...]

     
  • Thumbnail With uncertainty still surrounding the club and the Ricoh Arena we maybe could have forgiven the players if they were slightly distracted but it was in fact the complete opposite. City travelled to joint top Doncaster who have been in impressive form this season. They are undoubtedly one of the better teams in this league [...]

    Thumbnail It was yet another good weekend on the field for Coventry City with a thumping 5-1 victory over Walsall. However off the field issues surrounding the Ricoh Arena have now truly come to the fore. Lets kick off with the issues surrounding the Ricoh. Attributing the blame for the situation we find ourselves in is [...]

    Thumbnail It has been another positive week for Coventry City on the field with a 2-1 win against Morecambe in the FA cup second round. It was by no means a classic FA Cup tie but it was a game that was all about us getting through to the next round. Despite the fact we had [...]

    Thumbnail After last weeks demolition of Hartlepool I for one was left wondering what might be for Coventry City. We faced a Colchester side who are struggling for form themselves just days later. It was one of those games that Coventry would typically lose off the back of the great result but not this time. The [...]

    Thumbnail Well what a weekend that was for Coventry City with a new signing and a 5-0 rout at Hartlepool. Now no Coventry fan in their wildest dreams would have predicted that at the start of the week. In terms of the new signing well I personally had not heard the name Blair Adams before but [...]

    Cheers for the read and unfortunately i agree with u here, things probably will get worse before they get better. I have written in the past my feelings for SISU but they are what we have and i know that there isn’t anyone waiting in the wings to take us on, relegation to league one [...]

    Cheers for the read and that depressed feeling combined with the boredom does pretty much sum up saturday afternoons for us. Lets hope that change will happen eventually maybe we have just got to suffer another 10 yrs of this, they do say good things come to those who wait so who knows… I’m not [...]

    Thumbnail Just as Coventry City’s hopes are raised they are quickly dashed with a 2-1 loss at home to Scunthorpe. There had looked to have been real progress in the weeks before, but what I saw against Scunthorpe was the Coventry we are all sadly so used too. It was a chance to continue a run of [...]

    Thumbnail Being a Coventry fan I know all about how hard it is to find a decent striker. All clubs have their striker issues but we as a club have found it harder than most since our relegation from the Premier League. We have needed someone who not only has the ability to finish but the [...]

     
  • Ben Leach wrote a new blog post: Much Needed Progress For Coventry, Even If It Is Slow   6 months, 3 weeks ago · View

    Thumbnail It has been a week of disappointment for Coventry fans with the Skyblues unbeaten run coming to end with a 2-1 loss at home to Notts County followed by a loss to Brentford. The performances in both games on a whole weren’t great but neither were they altogether poor. There were some clear positives to be [...]

     
  • Ben Leach wrote a new blog post: Why Coventry Have An Inability To Perform For 90 Minutes   7 months ago · View

    Thumbnail One question that has been baffling City fans for a very long time now is why we as a team can’t perform for a full 90 minutes. On so many occasions we have seen the team put in a brilliant performance in one half but then be a completely different team in the other. To [...]

    Thumbnail Well, any Coventry fan has to be pleased with the results that we have achieved since Robins took over and things are once again looking up at Coventry City. For me the Arsenal game was a big game in the course of our season. Yes people will say the result wasn’t great but if we [...]

    Thumbnail Well Saturday was another day to forget for Coventry City fans despite it being Mark Robins first game in charge. It was another lacklustre performance from the team which saw us waist chances and gift goals to the opposition. Maybe we as fans were expecting change too soon with Robins only having two days with [...]

     
  • Thumbnail Coventry’s first season back in the third tier of English football is turning out to be a disastrous one and after weeks of uncertainty the Skyblues have finally appointed a new manager in the form of Mark Robins. The need for a new appointment has been clear for everyone to see as Coventry’s winless run [...]

    Thumbnail With the decision on a new manager still yet to be made along with the continued poor results in the league, Coventry’s season is already in danger of becoming another hugely disappointing one. Another league defeat against Stevenage means that after five games we have a measly three points and lie in 20 th in the [...]

    Thumbnail There was a need for calm after the storm last week at Coventry City however this hasn’t really been the case. Fans have remained divided over the sacking of Andy Thorn, have experienced renewed optimism after a derby cup win, seen the club bring in another new arrival, witness the first defeat of the season, [...]

    Thanks David I completely agree about being surprised that he stayed on after them comments last season and as you said the timing of it is the thing that’s wrong here I do however find it difficult to take anything seriously that comes out of the club from the likes of fisher. We as fans [...]

    It’s been a busy week for Coventry City Football Club for all of the wrong reasons. First we allow a two goal lead to slip at home to Bury and then the club choose to sack Andy Thorn four matches into the new season. No managerial departure is ever surprising as it is part and [...]

    Glad you enjoyed it and yes if I being truthful you probably did edge the game as a whole and definitely deserved that equaliser, good luck to you too and hopefully we will both have something to celebrate come the end of the season
