Coventry Home First Game of the Season

[Simmo86]

Do we still get a pre match presser on a Thursday?

[demon_dog]

Lose this match and I'll have to give the forum a miss for a few days! I can well imagine the reaction of some of of the people on here.

[Leicesterpool]

Hope we get a good win, it would be horrible travelling back on train with their fans. Tempted to get an uber home if we lose. The £25 would be worth it meant not listening to their crap songs.

Anyone heard when Enzo's pre match press conference is?

I'm just basing it on Ricardo not having been very good for a long time now, to be honest. Like I said, I like him but it's not really a time for sentiment is it. I also thought he looked very uncomfortable in the middle against Liverpool. He did OK against Northampton, but 'stellar'? No.

 

I don't understand people waxing lyrical about the first 30 minutes against Liverpool either. We were OK yes, but it was largely them just feeling their way into the game from what I saw.

 

Fair enough on the rest - I just disagree. Some of us are still angry about last year, and it's down to the club/team to breed the positivity now, rather than us just blindly clapping along. We are far too nice and accepting as a fan base and we always have been.

 

I am not a negative person though - I just wanted to make that clear . I just haven't seen any evidence of change from last year, and in my opinion, the rot runs deep and a BIG clear out was required.

Sure, i do understand that people move on in their own way at their own pace - personally, any change on last year has to be seen as an improvement - that we've adapted to a new and proven way of playing football also screams progress, the recruitment seems to have reverted to picking first team players rather than simply strengthen the squad depth - it feels fresh and optimistic.  It's tough to see people (not you specifically) wallowing in bad history and forgetting how good this club has been.

 

Regarding ricardo, i get what you're saying but at this level he is still head and shoulders above most other RBs in the league, assuming, as was the original complaint against him, he stays fit.

@moore_94 has probably already started writing it up.

Over the course of today I’ve had that ‘new season’ buzz starting to royally kick in!! Can’t wait for this now, new season, new gaffer, new style, new start. Beers from 9am, let’s HAVE EM!!! 🦊💙🦊💙🦊💙🦊💙🦊

Optimistically,  Enzo is the messiah.

 

Pessimisticly,  Enzo is Rodgers in Guardiola clothing.

We'll be fine Susan,  Don't worry.

EFL being doing a load of media today ahead of the first game. Millwall players asked who they can’t wait to play and some no mark named us. I’m so not ready to be trapped in this shithole for another 10 years  

[CrazyKopCorner]

On the Cov Forum they are hilariously saying that they're bringing an inflatable helicopter.

Worse, Enzo ends up being Paulo Sousa

Did I read there's a new ban on tragedy chanting and anyone caught in line with this will face bans and criminal sanctions? 

 

Not that I would partake in anything like that anyway, but I wouldn't want to be the 1st person caught doing it this season, the media would have a field day with it and whoever it is could have their face plastered all over the place, lose your job etc etc

I agree I'm not really sure what goes through people heads as to this being funny, banter, a wind up - It's none of these of course 

[LcFc_Smiv]

Looking forward to this even more now I’ve seen @Foxes_Trust promoting pyro and pitch invasions

Hate that club with a passion. Get back to League 2 where you belong with your Jeremy Kyle fan base.

These lot are vile and some of ours are going to be in for a shock on Sunday

 

[Ric Flair]

I want Jamie Vardy's career statistics vs Coventry City come the end of the season to read something like this.

 

Appearances: 2

Goals: 7

Assists: 1

Yep, there’s a generation of our supporters who have never see us play Cov and probably won’t realise just how much hate there is between us.

You’d take him not even hitting another shot on target all season for this to happen.

[dayday]

I know a lot of Leicester fans see Forest as the real rival but for me it’s these, got to beat them

Why stop there? Let's draw them in the cup so he can hit double figures

It's one-sided though, isn't it?

 

It's only really Leicester fans in the south of the county who give a shit about Coventry. Absolute micro club.

Our last stay on the EFL was 10 years and tbh seemed a lifetime..it dragged. Yet the PL stay of 9 years absolutely rattled by. 

[CloudFox]

I have absolutely no idea why, but I've always irrationally hated Cov. Robins being there at the moment softens it a bit, but all the same...I really hope we get a good result on Sunday.

 

I'm not going full Keegan though.
