Coventry have done unbelievably well over the last few years given their uncertainty, be interesting to see if they can maintain their good start.

Agree Cjay, having lived there for a 5yr period in the 80’s including when they won the FA Cup Final, which was a fantastic day in the city. Their fans have been well and truly shafted by a number of ownership conflicts in recent times, which has seen them playing games at Birmingham and as far away as Northampton (I seem to recall).

Having said that the Ricoh must be one of the most soulless and devoid of any atmosphere grounds I’ve visited 🙁

Five of the bottom seven lose. Forest & Millwall the other two drew 1-1

Bournemouth go top this weekend.

Steve McClaren has stepped down as technical director at Derby County, after the club entered administration.

McClaren seems to be the kiss of death for any club who employs him.

I notice Poveda was on the Rovers bench when they thrashed Cardiff 5-1 last Saturday.

I didn't know Barry Douglas is now playing for the Polish club Lech Poznań.

Cardiff battered 0-4 by West Brom last night after their 5-1 humiliating defeat at Blackburn.

Alex Mowatt scored one if the baggies goals

Not looking good for Mick McCarthy.

A lukewarm start for the blunts,

He did well at Middlesbrough, FC Twente, Derby the first time, and Man U.

Let go now because they're in admin, not because he's the 'kiss of death'.

Yes, he won a League Cup for Boro & the Dutch League over ten years ago.

Sacked five times & resigned on two or three occasions, known for his negative style of football.

Can't remember his Man U period.

SM was linked with Leeds a couple of times, I was relieved he didn't end up at ER.

Derby now back in credit with one point on the board.

Two wins & draw for Forest under their caretaker manager since they sacked Chris Hughton.

Coventry thrashed 5-0 after their brief flirtation at the top.

A hattrick for Mitrovic in Fulham's 3-1 victory over Swansea.

Soulless stadium & a nightmare journey getting out of Coventry, Swannie.

Enjoyed several visits to Highfield Road.
