    Some interesting comments

    Said when Johnson was sacked they were told by someone who fed them a pack of lies

    Doesn't sound the biggest O'Nien fan, whilst respecting his professional/grind and what he's acheieved his personality rubbed many the wrong way

    Said key players, popular players, not Parkinson contributed to McGeadys outcasting.

    Interesting

    With all due respect to Tom, who I actually thought was alright at times here, there's a reason that whoever he rubbed the wrong way are probably still languishing in the lower leagues while Luke is now a PL player. Hard workers always annoy people who can't be arsed to get above their level.

    Like WTF, enjoy his podcasts a lot but will give this one a miss i think. Real nobody to me at a horrible time. Seen and heard enough from that period, rather focus on the future now.

    He was quite effective, in a central two, with Chesney Allen ...

    Sure they had a little player who our fans were desperate to sign for like two years after. Name evades me, am sure he was on loan

    Enobakhare? Bakayoko?

    Coventry had a lot of pace and power that day, we just couldn’t deal with it

    I thought he'd make it to the top level. Don't even think he plays anymore

    Aye it was enokbahare. Think he was on loan from wolves or West Brom? Aye it felt like they constantly got it, and I rated Baldwin till then :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Don't remind me, I was there and it's took nearly 6 years to forget it. Every time Coventry broke forward they looked like they'd score, they ran past our central midfield as if they weren't there and Flanagan and Baldwin might as well have been tailors dummies for all the effect they had on the game.

    I didn't mind Baldwin, he was decent physically and had a good attitude. Better than Flanagan at any rate, no good being tall if you're as weak as a kitten and not much more coordinated.

    He’s had a decent career and still going strong, 32 next month. I’d imagine he was over the moon when SAFC came calling, biggest club he’s been at by some distance

    Graham puts out some excellent content, his interview with Corry Evans was really good too, see he’s been trying to get Gooch on, imagine he has some interesting stories from his time here
