    Parking at Coventry

    Has anyone found a place to park at Coventry which is relatively close to the ground but avoids the official car parks? Want to try and get away quickly after the game and know official car parks can often be slow. I have vague memories of just parking on a side road off what I think is called...

    Home atmosphere - what's to be done?

    I know this subject has come up endless times in other threads in the past, but can't help thinking it's more of an issue than ever in a relegation struggle. Have seen people saying we'll be ok because a lot of our home games are against teams around us in the table, but on the evidence of the...

    Ex Tigers yesterday

    Noted the following from yesterday. 1. No Reece Burke in the Luton squad 2. George Long has swapped our bench for Millwall's 2. Dan Batty didn't make the starting line up for Fleetwood 3. Kevin Ellison started his season by getting a late winner for Newport! Quite remarkable.

    Home games to end of the season

    Despite the anger towards the owners and frustration with the team, which I share, I still feel that if we could somehow get 3 to 4,000 more in the ground for each game between now and end of the season it would make a big difference to the players. It always seems to be the case that teams at...

    Grant McCann being interviewed on RH now

    He's on till 7 apparently. I do think the club are trying quite hard at the moment.

    Bowen and Burke injuries?

    Nige seemed pretty concerned about these two in particular after Saturday. Haven't we heard anything since?

    An optimistic thought (sorry)

    I too am now not massively optimistic about us avoiding the drop, but do we have to assume Marco Silva will leave. Of course the HDM spent most of last week before our biggest game of the season telling us he would probably be off and indeed had several players out of the door too (with friends...

    Has Ehab just ground us down?

    So , two weeks without the distraction of a match and still Mike Phelan hasn't been appointed and no news about new owners. The only rumours are about Steve Bruce taking more of our coaching staff. I feel as likely to read that Phelan has had enough as to read that he's been appointed. And yet...

    Bournemouth FFP fine

    I admit to not being across all the detail on FFP that some clearly are on here, but just noted that Bournemouth have been find about 7.5 mn for breaching the rules last year. Presumably these breaches helped them into the Premier League and all it provides. Makes the 'brave little Bournemouth'...

    N'doye on the left wing??

    I really did think Brucie lost it completely in the last 30 mins yesterday with his changes. Our main threat all afternoon looked to be from Brady at left wing back putting across onto N'doye's head. So what does he do when he brings Jelavic on? Switches N'doye to left wing ( at least I think...

    Elmohamady

    I feel Steve Bruce has got so much wrong this season I hesitate to add another one, but....Elmohamady inked in every week and delivering nowhere near enough in my opinion. Too often when we play 3-5-2 he barely gets over the half way line away from home and today as a right winger very...

    Left back now the biggest problem

    Have to feel sorry for Steve Bruce at the moment as I'm sure he didn't expect he would need to be thinking about left back in the January deadline but it now looks like his biggest problem. I think the worst news yesterday was that Rosie is out for so long as think he is the best FULL BACK (not...

    New manager bounce

    Whether or not Palace and WBA get a long term benefit from changing managers is obviously questionable, but wouldn't be surprising if they get the short term 'new manager bounce' and at end of season that could be enough to keep them up. I often think owners change managers around this time of...

    Significance of this afternoon's results

    As it looks like Palace are going to complete the triple of upsets this afternoon, my 16 year old son has pointed out to me that if I start to worry about other team's results in September, it's going to be a long season! He is right of course, so I'll try not to worry! And of course early last...

    Squad size rethink?

    Like several others, I think Brucey gets it right more often than not, but was disappointed we didn't play a stronger team last night. I think 'all' we wanted as fans was to progress to the groups and get some more European nights, and if in the group matches Brucey had then rotated the squad to...

    Conflicting messages from our new signings?

    Was looking at a review of new signings made by all PL clubs in the Independent this morning and it feels like we have spent more and on some decent players than many of our rivals. However, I do think our signings are a bit odd. When we bought Snodgrass and Ince (who are surely wide midfield...

    Long time since we won playing 3-5-2

    When we beat Liverpool I'm pretty sure it was 1-1 when Rosenior came on and we switched to 4-4-2. We beat Fulham and Boro playing 4-4-2 as well. I am worried that after we almost got something at Spurs with 3 central defenders, we have reverted to this and it hasn't really worked. It was great...

    4-4-2 or 3-5-2?

    I know we need to adapt a bit when away from home but cant help thinking it's a bit of a myth that we are doing well with 3-5-2 this season. When we beat Liverpool at home we had switched to 4-4-2 when we took the lead, and our only win since then again came when we played 4-4-2 v Fulham...

    A change in the pressure gauge

    I am not saying there is no pressure next week but funnily enough I think the pressure will now be less. I think the general feeling is that we've blown it, if we can't score against the bottom three teams, what chance against Cardiff , etc etc. Truth is, next week is just a one off now. Over...

    Play off semis (just in case)

    Sorry if this has been asked before but IF we end up in the play offs, does anyone know if the semi final dates have been confirmed yet?
