Is there or has there been any news on Stokes ? Getting him back to first team action would be like a new signing and exactly what we need for the scrap ahead.
Why not? Who else is going to take a player that hasn't played for 1 and a half seasons?
In an ideal world he's repay our faith in him for giving him his chance and sticking with him through his injury by giving us another season. In the real world he'll go to Rochdale who we're now a league below.
Yep, played the first half against Brighton in the EFL Trophy.
Looked good too. Had a tight groin though so was replaced at half time.
Slade said he was back training last week, so maybe a chance for him today even if it is just on the bench.
We'll be in the same league as Forest Green next season! They'll have him back. That'd be a decent investment, sell a player to a team 2 leagues higher then get him back on a free 2 seasons later when you're in the same league and he's a much better player for the experience

It looked like he was sure as shit to be sold in January.
Either that or he did just get thrown into Slade's bomb squad with Bigi.
Fucking hard luck to be out injured over a 12 month calendar period.

Sold to who? I know we all rate him, but I don't really think he has captured the attention of anyone else outside of Coventry.
I don't know, I'm not Jim White.
He earned himself a move after last season, and I would have thought someone would still have taken a gamble on him January.
Certainly the odd activity around his availability suggested something was going on. - 'He's out on the grass', six weeks later.... Nothing. Then comes back for half a game and is suddenly wrapped in cotton wool.

But Forest Green are a team with investment behind them, and are a team on the up, so probably wouldn't be looking to pick up someone struggling to come back from long term injury.
Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to sampling the vegan pies.
did the same with Ivor Lawton, got him fit then told him to bugger off. maybe MR will have a change of heart and put them both in the squad for next year
Wrong.
Wrong.
How come he is suddenly fit enough to play?
Whoops maybe not.
He did enough in the 67 minutes to show what we have missed things can only get better , when he has more games under his belt.(Class Act)
RFC wrong? Surely not. He has always been so accurate before on everything.
It's thanks to his proven insight and insider knowledge that yesterday I was sitting in my sparkling brand new seat at the spanking brand new stadium .
Odd post in my opinion sw.
Give me yesterday's Chris Stokes over Jordan Turnbull and his lovely hair cut and trimmed beard!
Whew, well maybe he will get a new contract, but he is too good for league two so no guarantees it will be here.
Ha! I'm not sayin footballers need to look prim and proper. Far from it. I just almost found myself having flash backs.
I think we should give him a nickname.
That fringe putrudes about three inches from his forehead.
So I'm going for Peaky.
