Lost his scoring touch and it seems we are allowing him to go elsewhere cos we need the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsouth 8,144 39k Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 You can always get a feel about the interest in a game from our members, 45 posts sums it up so far and I do not see us matching the cup game at Huddersfield total. This will be a poorly populated thread sadly, maybe a lot of folks are fed up playing Coventry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Codger 4,239 4.8k Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 One of those games where both teams are in the process of rebuilding and it is not really possible for anyone to predict an outcome. Not sure if Coventry have any significant injuries to contend with but the obvious absences for us just add that little bit more to tipping the scales in favour of the home team. Like Sandy, would settle for a point and be very pleased if we sneak a win. Hopefully a decent game and the start of a run of positive result .

TeaCider24 17,847 23k Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Get a win and lift the gloom! Silvera with a stunning bit of trickery to set up Rogers for a tap in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco 5,584 7.2k Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Think we can win this. The Hamer move will be a body blow to Coventry. It looks like Robins wasn’t expecting it whereas we knew Chuba was likely to leave so prepared without him. 2-1 win Silvera and Hackney with the goals 💪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erimus74 5,267 5.4k Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) I mentioned Ian Gibson in my post, regarding players who have played for both teams My dad referred to Ian Gibson as the little juninho back then, he signed for Coventry helping them win promotion to the top flight I was lucky enough to have met Ian Gibson when I attended a home game in the legends lounge, Ian Gibson was Bernie Slavens guest & spoke about his time at the Boro & his career When he sat down after his talk I went over & chatted with him for a good hour, a couple of months later I was at a former players reunion, Ian was present that evening & within an hour of sitting at my table he remembered me from our previous chat, pops over & we chat again, lovely bloke, sadly he passed away not long after that & thankfully I took a lovely photo of us both, when I locate the photo of us both I will post it on here Edited August 12, 2023 by Erimus74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erimus74 5,267 5.4k Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Again regarding players who played for both teams, one player I wish had played for both team & who could have changed the history of our football club forever was David Cross We were heavily linked with him in the mid 70's, but big Jacks reluctance to pay 'any team' their asking price sadly resulted in him been another enquiry destined for the bottom drawer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
