KEVIN HALLS as ever gives food for thought with his blogs. I always find it's easier to appreciate great football performances if you're watching games as a neutral.
However like him I've seen some great performances by opposition players that often shined through the dissapointment of a City defeat
In the nineties through the Channel four coverage I loved to watch Italian football on Sunday afternoon I've continued to follow it since.
As a result I loved the period when players I admired in Italy came to play in England
FOLLOWING on from the Phyllis Pyle blog it got me thinking about all the players and teams she's seen over all those years watching the Sky Blues, I bet she's got lot's of stories to tell ?
I never got tired of listening to my father telling me about the matches he'd seen and how it was so much better in "his day."
But we're all like that I guess because myself I always go on about the sixties and seventies because to me they were great decades especially for football.
Coventry City tight-lipped after Keiren Westwood outburst
COVENTRY City have refused to be drawn into a public war of words with contract rebel Keiren Westwood.
Alan Poole column: Why Aidy Boothroyd is right in Keiren Westwood saga
KEIREN Westwood insists that he's no Big Time Charlie - but he's surely the best bet for filling the role at the Ricoh Arena until Coventry City can sign one up on a full-time basis.
IN the middle of last season when I was challenged to come up with an alternative to the hapless Chris Coleman I mentioned Aidy Boothroyd.It could be said I was one of his earliest supporters
As the season develops we'll see whether my early faith in him is justified. In a hectic pre season spell he said we can achieve big things this season and hes not interested in mediocrity.
He said the biggest space on a football field is between the players ears. He said some players will need careful treatment because they are all individuals
After the Coleman era being clear of the relegation zone might be seen as progress. So after four games being three points from the top and just off the play offs looks pretty good
Marlon King 'could face Leicester City next week'
COVENTRY City are closing in on Marlon King who could become a Sky Blues player by the end of the week.
Doncaster Rovers made late inquiry for Michael McIndoe
DONCASTER ROVERS made a late inquiry about Coventry City winger Michael McIndoe during yesterday's transfer deadline day.
IN the Coventry Telegraph today there is an article on a lady called Phyllis Pyle who has just celebrated her one hundreth birthday.
She is a Coventry City supporter and has been since the age of twelve making her probably the oldest living Sky Blue fan, and longest too I should think with a staggering eighty eight years of support.
And in 1987 she was at the F.A.Cup final to see the City win the Cup,and she got told off for standing on her seat celebrating the victory, she was 76 years old at the time.
Quiet transfer deadline day for Coventry City?
IT looks set to be a quiet transfer deadline day at Coventry City after the club revealed that they are under no pressure to sign Marlon King.
Sky Blue Thinking column: Ref justice for Coventry City
ONE of Aidy Boothroyd's more admirable managerial traits is that he doesn't go in for the 'we was robbed' school of post-match interview.
FIND out the latest Coventry City news and all the rest of the football on Transfer Deadline Day as it happens.
We'll be hosting a national Transfer Deadline Day Blog, bring you all the deals as they happen up to today's 5pm deadline.
The blog will appear below...
Saturday's team selection showed that no matter who the player is, they can not be guaranteed a starting place. Following a 2-1 victory against Derby, Boothroyd rang the changes. Out went Westwood, Turner, Doyle, Eastwood and Jutikiewicz. Turner was injured and would have played following his man of the match performance the previous week.
Changing a winning team, needs a brave manager and it is something that Boothroyd had stated he wouldn't be afraid of doing. I for one applaud it.
The four five one formation we employed, like Derby did to us the week before, looked like getting us a point until some indiscipline from Carl Baker.
One of the current luxuries at Boothroyd's disposal is the size of the current squad that allows him the luxury to make so many changes and to bring in some quality players. Having players like Gunnarsson, Clingan, Wood and McPake featuring on the bench so often this season would have been un-thinkable last season. What would some of our previous managers given for a bench with those players on?
Keiren Westwood's two-week deadline to decide Coventry City future
KEIREN Westwood has been given a two-week deadline to decide whether he is part of Coventry City's future.
Millwall 3 Coventry City 1 - Alan Poole's verdict
AIDY Boothroyd declined to detail what disciplinary action he'll be taking against Carl Baker, who effectively condemned Coventry City to their first league defeat of the season when he collected two inexcusable yellow cards in the space of seven minutes.
