Coventry City (A) League 1 Saturday 8/12/12.

Tue Dec 04, 2012 2:23 pm

The Sky Blues 15th in the table on 24 points from 20 played and have shown and big improvement under the management of ex Saddler Mark Robbins .

Last 6 league games

Orient - away - won 1-0
Crawley - home - won 3-1
Scunthorpe - home - lost 1-2
Hartlepool - away - won 5-0
Colchester - away - won 3-1
Portsmouth - home - drew 1-1

Our hosts play tonight at home to Sheffield United in the football trophy quarter finals ,and reached the FA Cup third round after beating Morecambe 2-1
their reward being a envious trip to White Hart Lane.

Full Home record

won 2 - drew 4 - lost 4 - goals for 13 - against 14.

Prediction : 2-2

We will get hammered. The team will probably lose as well.

Winless run to continue, can't see where the next 3 points will come from to be honest, hand in hand with the pool at the bottom by mid January....I've had a bad day, and watching soooo many Ex Saddlers doing well at thier respective new clubs this last weekend, really rattled my cage when I think of the talentless crud we have to endure at present.
I, like many, have forgotten what it is like to see us WIN a match, and to be honest I cant be bothered to go any more. :(

I have been uplifted by the chairmans confirmation of his support and think our unbeaten run will continue at Coventry 1-1.

:D

Joking aside, we're unlikely to miss our rent cheque are we? The owner of the club orders the accountant to pay the rent cheque to the landlord. Don't even have to worry about the price of a stamp :wink:

Costs us 450 odd grand to save the price of a stamp, what a bargain :D

Either way, fairly pap.

Should be over a thousand really, seeing as we have apparently sold 600 in advance.

Smith out, he's an absolutely useless manager and his record is appalling. There can't be anyone with a brain who thinks he's doing a good job.

The last time I saw Walsall play Coventry was the first round of The Milk Cup in 1984. We lost 2 -1. I am hoping we don't get a 'duplicate' score at the Ricoh Stadium (duplicate...Ricoh.. geddit? Oh please yourselves!)

As a sideline, Coventry's captain Kevin Kilbane has announced his immediate retirement from football.

Was it something we said? :?

Elsewhere, Sloppies 1-0 down at Crawley in the first minute... :D
...and Matt Richards equalises in the 14th minute.

We've had a corner and two shots (1 on target) after 9 mins.
