COVENTRY CITY are involved in a relegation fight so it can't be good news that two home games in four days produced just two points

With both games drawing crowds of just twelve thousand people it's very easy to be very disheartened about Coventry City's future prospects.

Crowds are dipping towards a third of capacity and with dissent stamped on within the ground clearly fans are choosing to stay away in numbers

With this bound to be affecting finances doubtless the squad will be weakened even more in January. It's a vicious circle and some how something has to give

IT was so very nearly three points against Reading on Saturday had Jukebox not hit his penalty nearly out of the ground.

I couldn't believe how bad a penalty it was it resembled something you'd see at the Rugby World Cup which was a shame because he had a good game and as usual worked his Sky Blue socks off.

Still as Andy Thorn likes to say after every match we move on and tonight we face Holloway's Tangerine army which will I feel be an even sterner test than Reading.

IT seems that SISU have a very low opinion of those who turn up week in week out. The list of what they say they will deliver and then don't is as long as your arm.
• Talks with the Council
• Announcing MK was staying
• Announcing a summer transfer budget as large as the previous season

Now it seems the Premiership loans that were mentioned when Ben Turner left, won't be happening either.

Yes we know funds are limited but if you can't deliver then why make the statement in the first place?

All these statements and promises do is wind-up the fans when it does happen, thus increasing the loathing that City fans have for them.

They state that they want to build a relationship with the fans. That would be a start but relationships are built on trust and quite frankly there is none between SISU and the fans.
