Tight game - could have gone either way.
Good luck for the rest of the season. Our squad isn't strong enough to see this through 46 games.
HA HA HA HA HA. Good one. So what you're saying is that you're still paying Championship wages despite having the lowest crowds in the division and next-to-no commercial revenue outside of ticket sales? Whereas teams like Walsall and Shrewsbury - whose turnover is way in excess of Coventry's - have to make do with small squads of former youth team players, loanees and free transfers from the likes of Hereford, Rochdale and Wycombe, because we stick to the wage cap and pay our debts. Keep digging that hole.
What part of the supplied list did you fail understand, or read? Give me strength.
