@drfc_official
, I will try to represent the club and the fans in the best possible way, let’s have a right good go in getting us back to where we want to be 👍🏼⚽️
Great result today from the lads, gutted I couldn’t be there to share the occasion with everyone
@officialgtfc
but we had a busy night/morning ourselves bringing our little man into the world. Hope everyone has a great weekend ⚽️👶🏻💙
Congrats to me old roomy Lee Bowyer on keeping
@BCFC
up, I hope he can get the club back to the standard it was as celebrating staying up in the championship is not where it should be. Definitely progressing though 👍🏼
I hope that
@BCFC
get a manager in that can bring back and deliver the expectancy that the fans and the club deserve/demand. The last few have been a shambles. To be bottom end of the championship is not acceptable The Blues I know and played for were a force in the champ!

So pleased for this fella yesterday. What a season Doyla has had, great pro, great captain, born leader and true friend. Was a proud moment watching him lift a trophy for the club that means the most to us! ⚽️🏆💙
Congrats to Mark Robins and all involved
@Coventry_City
, great achievement to stay up this season, can’t wait to see championship football again at the Ricoh next season. Celebrate this all the sky blue army it’s thoroughly deserved 💙🍺👍🏼🙌🏼

If there was one day I could relive during my career then it would be this day. Raised 200 yards away. My whole childhood I dreamt of representing my City at this speacial stadium. Thanks for the memories

Mendez Laing was on trial with us at Scunthorpe in the summer of 2015. Played right wing back in training for 2 weeks and didn’t get a deal, now he’s notching a brace at Old Trafford in the prem. funny old game. ⚽️
He’s took a lot of stick, the grass isn’t very much greener, 96 points, who else will get that points tally? Racist abuse, outrageous! What a game of football, seen first hand the detail and hard work that Darren, Jamie, Jimmy, Simon and Adriano put into this club

Just a young lad from Coventry with a dream. Last night I fulfilled that dream of playing for my country

@Coventry_City
A real hero of mine growing up as a kid, to then train and share a pitch with you as a team mate and then play under you as interim manager was an honour and dream for any cov kid. A role model of a pro and a top top man. Great career mate, happy retirement Oggy

I will be working with aspiring young players in the Doncaster area who are are aiming for the top!. DM for more information.⚽️
Great game last night at St Andrews.
@Coventry_City
by far the better team, played some top football, have to be more ruthless with the end product and decision making at times in the final third. Credit to
@BCFC
for finding a way to win and grinding it out! ⚽️

I’m happy to share that I’ve started my LMA Diploma in Football Management at St George’s Park and The University of Liverpool.
Excellent first block. Exceptional tutors. Some powerful learning took place. Really looking forward to the year ahead with a great cohort of people
Great signing for
@Coventry_City
, Paul Cook told me
@ConorChaplin10
was the best natural finisher he’s managed ‘deadly’ in the box was how he described him. Hope to see some goals at the Ricoh⚽️⚽️⚽️
Was great being back at St. Andrews last night for the former players game, not played there for 10 years, not played a game for almost 2 years, great to see some old faces and get a couple of goals ⚽️💙

Seems like yesterday, time flies, my advice to any young football player in the modern game would be to dedicate your life to it, embrace every moment of it, celebrate good times, try not dwell on and overthink bad times and above all enjoy it, it’s over before you know it! ⚽️💙

Really disciplined professional performance tonight, to play an hour with 10 men against a cat 1 premier league outfit and get the win showed great character, the lads put some shift in ⚽️
What a great night for
@DRFC_Academy
, 12 players in the
@drfc_official
matchday squad, 5 starting, 7 subs, 3 making professional senior debuts. Proud of the boys was good for them to hold on and get the win 💪🏼⚽️
Great game tonight at Glanford Park, Donny played brilliant, better in every department, moved the ball around so fast, played out from the back with ease then constantly broke Scunny’s lines with fast forward passing. Midfield class & Strikers unplayable in Wilks and Marquis.

Good session today with some Scunthorpe Utd u23’s. Very good standard helping them prepare for their return to action. Focus was on brilliant basics, loads of technical passing drills, 1v1’s, finishing, game related movements and lots of repetition ⚽️⭐️

Heard good things about Hamer, first chance to see him tonight, on this performance doesn’t look like he fancies it out of possession, not tracking runners, pulling out of tackles, won’t get away with that at championship level. Gosling is teaching him a lesson
Brilliant day at the CBS Arena. big thank you to the Diamond Club for the invite to be one of their special guests along with Doug King. Good times ahead
@Coventry_City
a real positivity about the club ⚽️💙

It’s been a good 2 years with the lads, runners up last season was disappointing but great character shown by the all involved, Soltsy, Steve, myself and Stan and above all the lads deserve this, congrats all 👍🏼⚽️⭐️
Happy Birthday to

My view today doing the radio for
@HumbersideSport
. Thought Scunny were poor today, sloppy on the ball and bad decision making all over the pitch, Townsend has to play for me. Wallace centre half. No threat in behind is a big concern at this stage of the season.
