    I agree, the thing is with the Munoz appointment is that although it was and is bonkers, there is nothing to say it might not be a stroke of genius. Of course it could’ve been/could still be a disaster, but he’s got so little experience other than a brief, successful spell in Georgia, that lack of experience is the reason to think it will be a disaster. But nobody can a say with any certainty he won’t be a roaring success because equally there is no proof at all that he isn’t a good manager or will definitely be a failure.

    Henry is the opposite, there is a large body of proof to suggest he will be a failure and absolutely nothing to suggest he will be a success, so it’s hard to see what their logic is.

    Why aren't Coventry in their usual Sky blue?

    Brentford concede a 2nd after the manager has a breakdown over the colour of the referee’s kit

    Ratford FC, the stars are aligning

    Now if Swansea could also oblige and lose three on the bounce we’ll be golden.

    Terrible optics, but if the ref is wearing the classic black, he might have a point, in fairness... :oops:

    I wasn't so brave, so I have bet on 2 or more than 2 goals per game 5 timer, Coventry and Chelsea doing me proud, pays just under 3-1

    One off* ffs

    They injured Deeney, and now they're beating Brentford. What a helpful team they are.

    It is a special edition kit, I think to say thanks for the fans that helped them finacially whilst they were struggling and kwpt their season tickets even though they were playing outside of Coventry, I believe that the fans names are imprinted in small letters on the back of the shirt, and on the front is the skyline of the city.

    Why have a player either side of the keeper...and then do that?! Trying to be clever in this division usually bites you in the backside!

    Toney definitely seems to make more of a difference to Brentford than Sarr or Pedro to us (and this isn't a slight on either at all, just that we have plenty of other creative players who can help us win games if either of them is out). Not having watched Brentford this season, how is he so important to their team? Presumably it's more than just scoring goals?

    You’d think that it would put off Coventry just as much/ even more than it would put off Bournemouth.

    Coventry doing us a massive favour again, Brentford looked so good before they lost these 3, probably the best team in the league for me, this shows that swansea and Norwich could well slip up!

    If we signed Toney in the summer when we were rumoured to be interested, we’d already have been promoted.

    We could play a 433 with Sarr and Sema either side, or (the dreaded) 442 with Toney and Pedro together, and the outcome would have been the same.

    They seem to be having a bout of the collective collywobbles.
    The long haired,gum chewing boss is in danger of heart failure,poor chap.
    I doubt O'Hare will be at Coventry next season.
    He looks very impressive every time I see him.

    This is making our rather desperate point at Coventry look quite useful.

    Thomas Franck is a rightful heir to Tindall and the other scum manager as Championships most dislikeable.

    Not sure about that. Sarr has scored 2 and assisted 4 in the last 3 games and Pedro won and scored the winning goal against Preston as well as scoring again yesterday (not that he knew that much about it!).

    I think we would certainly struggle a bit if we lost Sarr for any length of time.

    Don't Brentford usually have the promotion sickness about now? Coventry should of beaten us, and we all know how utterly sh!te we played that day. Xisco fever if Norwich and Swansea follow suite.

    Brentford's performance against Coventry is actually making ours look not so bad, they've been really poor.

    You know full well we would never have played Pedro and Toney together until about know. Toney would have cost less money than Gray regardless of if he was good so not a priority. So the Prioroty of pairings would have been:

    1. Deeney and Gray
    2. Deeney and Toney
    3. Deeney and Pedro
    4. Gray and Toney
    5. Gray and Pedro
    6. Toney and Pedro

    I've also just looked and the ref is wearing a bright purple top, so it's total bollox.

    I love the Championship. So much more exciting than the EPL.

    A week ago we were all, myself included, stating that Brentford were the best team in the division , nailed on for autos and probable title winners.

    Now they have lost 3 on the bounce, and we have won 3 on the bounce. In seven days there has been a swing to us of +9 points and +13 GD.

    Heres the table from last Friday for graphic representation...
