Games of 23/24 Thread:
Going to do a thread on here if all the games I attend this season just for me really 👍🏼
Game 1: 18/07/23
Forest Green Rovers 0 - 4 Coventry City
📍New Lawn
Im still numb. I’ve lost my best mate of 27 years and it still don’t feel real. He was the best friend you could ask for, godfather to my son and my go to guy. Keep waiting for him to text me. I can’t find the words love you

Picked the wife up from doing her park run this morning and noticed these posters up by the station - Wembley fever really has taken over

#PUSB
The face that sums up my day. Proud of every single one of them, cruel way to lose bit we got there that’s the main thing. Let’s regroup and go again next season. Thanks for the memories Gus, Vik, Doyle and McNally 🩵
#PUSB
I don’t get why I’m seeing so much negativity from today. We kept a clean sheet against the 2nd highest scorers in the league, who haven’t beaten us in 3 games now. Pressure is all on them Wednesday and it’s in our own hands - let’s have it!

@CFCritz
I struggle to believe a man as cultured as you struggles to appreciate the delight of a good steak. I’d murder for one now but I’m not allowed them 😔
Summer transfer windows a big naff isn't it? I'm all for new arrivals in January myself - the result of a Ben Wilson penalty save at West Brom
@Coventry_City
so the name Ben is in contention 🤣
#PUSB
Cov Fans “Kings a fraud he won’t sign anyone! We have no squad depth we need bodies”
CCFC - here are 2 new players
Cov Fans “We don’t want these players”
Literally no pleasing some people
#PUSB
So the day I’ve been dreading is here, the day we give my best friend the send off he deserves but shouldn’t be having. I can’t put into words how much I miss him and life hasn’t been the same since he went. Love you mate - hope we do you proud 🩵
Tell you what, we thought Leeds fans were salty but Jesus these Leicester lot are something else. Not once have I seen one of them admit we were a match for them let alone better then them. It’s all “25 points” “shit ref” and “cup final” just have some grace you lost lads
#PUSB
Every single one of you that slated the team selection, I hope the apology is as loud as the slander - Robins got that spot on today. Epic effort to get a point from that game and thoroughly deserved against what is essentially a PL outfit 🩵
#PUSB
@FanHub
The “greatest team the world has ever seen” that every club uses. With all due respect Bolton, Morecambe etc are not the greatest teams the world has ever seen
Last night I said was proud but I’m not just proud of the players on the pitch. It’s the club as a whole, the staff and the fans. We did ourselves proud yesterday on the biggest stage and forget what troll accounts on here say, we have every right to hold our heads high 🩵
#PUSB
NEWS:
@Coventry_City
are pleased to announce the signing of Grayson Benjamin Littlewood on a lifetime contract. Kit supplied by
@joshbh147
- Grayson said “here’s to a lifetime of suffering”
#PUSB
MVE needs so much more credit for that game today. Kept Somerville quiet and his work rate and composure in the build up the second was immense - great result
@BBCCWRSport
#PUSB
Call to all the SBA, let’s pack the place out for the replay now. We have to win this game as the money will be huge. Maidstone game would be on TV surely and a massive opportunity at a huge Quarter Final. Just hope the club price games accordingly and give 30 points
#PUSB
Woke up this morning feeling fine
I’ve got Doug King on my mind
He got SISU out like he said he would
Something tells me I’m on to something good
#PUSB
So decided to pay tribute to the legend that is
@iangatenby
by getting one of his designs tattooed on me. After years of badgering him to design one for me had to do something 🩵 Miss you buddy
#PUSB
The sceptics are still there but since Doug King came in:
Bought out SISU ✅
Wilson new contract ✅
Fadz new contract ✅
New training pitch and investment at Ryton ✅
Multiple fan forums ✅
Hamer, Vik, O’Hare contracts ⏳
We really are onto something good
#PUSB
As a fan base we have done our part:
Record ST sales ✅
Record kit sales ✅
Higher home attendance ✅
Sold out all bar one away allocation ✅
It’s time for the players, coaching staff etc to have a long hard think about what’s going on and rectify it. We deserve better
#PUSB
Just going to state the obvious - tonight was one of if not the best atmospheres I’ve experienced at the Ricoh/CBS. The stand was physically shaking under foot. What a time to be a Cov Fan 💙
#PUSB
#CCFC
#SkyBlues
How much better did we look with Sheaf back? Shown how crucial he is to our team today. Great result that is, now to go and have a hell of a day and a good crack at Wolves next week 🩵
#PUSB
Clean sheet ✅
Losing run done ✅
Never looked like conceding, Thomas and Kitching look so much more comfortable in a 4. Collins commanded his box and distributed well. Bidwell class. Just need to work on the final 3rd now
#PUSB
@AllThingSkyBlue
People slating Simms, his sheer presence takes 2 defenders and leaves Sakamoto unmarked. His selection is warranted for that sort of movement alone
A few takeaways from tonight;
Howley looked solid at CB
Bidwell is now a CB
Kelly and Godden looked 5 years younger
Palmer looked sharp
Simms will score goals - linked up well with Godden
Sakamoto 😍
Finally, never go to Forest Green
#PUSB
So today is potentially the last time we see the following as Cov players:
Moore
Wilson
Callum O’Hare
Liam Kelly
Jamie Allen
Matty Godden
End of an era - the last ones remaining from that bar Josh Eccles, who was still pretty much an academy player. Gonna be emotional
#PUSB
I’ve openly been one of Ben Wilson’s biggest critics the last 2 years but we won tonight due to his saves. Credit where credit is due MOTM for me tonight
#PUSB
The realisation has just sunk in. We are in the last 4 of the greatest cup competition in the world, alongside 3 previous champions league winners who have all won it in the past 15 or so years 🤯 what a club man 🩵🩵🩵
#PUSB
Great to hear from Doug King on CWR. Took some balls to come out and deal with the ST situation head on. Made some valid points and justified the price rises to some, if we want players like Vik, Gus and PL football we need to have an increased budget - well done
@flupton
#PUSB
@Rovers
2 seasons running you have time wasted and conceded in injury time - when will you learn 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he’s magic you know, super Ben Wilson scores goals
Played 1 game at home
Not named our strongest 11 yet
Most influential player hasn’t played a minute
Bidwell looking like the player we thought we were signing
Doyle and Panzo adding quality
39 games to go 108 points to play for
We will be fine
#PUSB
I’ve had people question why I love football, why I love Cov, why I go to places like Wigan and Plymouth on a Tuesday/Wednesday night. It’s moments like those at Wolves that make it all worth it and tomorrow we make more 🩵
#PUSB
Not one to mindlessly speculate BUT I work next to the CBS and on my way home then there was 2 security guards stopping people driving in to the arena and the lights were on in the bowl 👀👀👀
#PUSB
Glad Simms missed in hindsight, the limbs would have been insane only for VAR to rule it out would have sucked the joy out of the fans - clever by Ellis 😳
#PUSB
This is exactly what I’ve been asking for, proper competitive opposition in preseason. Hopefully this will address the slow start we have had the last 2 seasons
#PUSB
As buzzing as we all are to see him back, can we all just bare in mind he has had 10 months out so could take a while to get up to speed? He will be vital in our season once he gets there but with the negativity already with some players make sure we give him some slack
#PUSB
My takeaways from yesterday:
Collins will 100% be first choice keeper come Leicester game
Sakamoto looked more comfortable on the right than the left
It will take time for fans to adjust to Simms style of play compared to Viks
A fully fit Palmer is a dangerous player
#PUSB
As much as he as was a man who loved a tackle and would head a grenade if you threw it at him, I’m gonna miss him sending strikers for hotdogs with them little shoulder drops. And im gonna miss that “double clap” when we sang his song, thunderous at times go well Fadz 🩵
#PUSB
Tuesday 6am: daughter comes into my bedroom “daddy please don’t go football on Saturday I miss you” so I decide to give my ticket for today away
Saturday 10am: daughter walks into the living room “daddy I wish you were at football it’s more fun with just mummy” 🤬😫🤦🏼♂️
#PUSB
👋 Coventry City announced their retained list yesterday, confirming the departures of:

BREAKING: Coventry City Football Club have been issued with an eviction notice by the new owners of the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Tune into BBC CWR for the latest:
So the whole country against us tonight bar
#Gills
fans probably. Let’s be loud and proud and get at them from the first whistle and do a professional job. Name the strongest possible team and get in the hat for the quarters! Come on City! 🩵
#PUSB
I think today has been one of the best days off the pitch in recent memory for us Cov fans. The fact we have probably just gone from a bottom 6 operational budget to top 10 is massive. I’m not expecting an influx of signings but think we have turned a corner
