Match Day Thread "The Slade Club's derby"

With CARD's leaders emerging from winter hibernation to the stark reality that Duchatelet isn't going anywhere, they have declared today a protest day Too little, too late my complacent friends. Bin liners full of pink plastic pigs will no doubt be heading up the M1 today, with a new appeal to fans to follow asking if they can have another £50,000 to waste this season.

Hats off to the Sisu Out Group, who have been far more militant, persistent and vocal than our equivalent this season.

Coventry have hit a good run of form since Mark Robins replaced Russell Slade, but are still 11 points off safety with 4 games remaining.

From our perspective this is a "nothing game" - one of the many consequences of supporting a circus of a club. With new rumours today that a host of Championship clubs want Declan Rudd next season, surely it's time to give Dillon Phillips the gloves for our last 4 games. He is one of our own after all, well at least until he is sold this summer ...

 

Rudd won't be here next season... Phillips likely to be sold. I think it's high time we brought back the man, the myth, the legend Yohann Thurham-Ulien!!

 

Preston & Bristol City want to sign Rudd on a permanent deal. And Charlton, if you believe Robinson

 

Robinson wants him but I don't think it'll happen. After the takeover fails to happen, and we realise we've flogged all our youth, RD and Driesen will bring in a highly talented Scarecrow to act as our keeper. Inevitably this inanimate object will then go on to be our POTY before being sold next summer after Squirrel face, claims he is not for sale.

 

But don't forget, Robinson has "1 million" to spend on players this summer. Meire told the Trust last Saturday

 

Doesn't mean it's going to be spent well!

 

No idea why Gobinson appears to have such a low opinion of Phillips. But then again I've got a very low opinion of Gobinson.

 

Can't believe we are favs for this one...

Cov to win..... 2's
Cov to win 2-1 ...... 10's
BTTS.. Yes.... 5/6
HT/FT ..... Draw/Cov ...11/2

Just a few that caught my eye

 

Coventry are the form team.

 

Rudd hasn't overly impressed me but I'm somewhat glad Phillips wasn't played with the bunch of cowboys in front of him.

Coventry will win today. Reckon 2-1.

 

Pigs on the pitch.

 

Yep - ref taken players inside.

 

Cringe

 

0-1

ANOTHER soft goal from a set piece - what does that useless gobshite do on the training pitch all week ??

 

Whine

 

Just want Robinson gone now, regardless if Pol Pot takes over the club

An exposed bluffer

 

Lucky for us Port Vale losing Swindon drawing.

 

Grimsby winning - Slade working his magic already

 

Looking at our line up today, just about every one of these players would get in Coventrys side.

Apart from serving his primary purpose as a big fat gobby human shield, why is he still here ?

 

The question answers itself.
