Odd!

If we are in the top 4 come January I expect the club will try and push

Doesn't mean we will get the players we want though , but I imagine they will try and do business

we should have 1 or 2 ready to sign on the 1st

Can't argue with the result but the 11 that finished the game tonight was unbelievably ropey

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

There’s levels to this. Look at who Ipswich, Sheff U, Southampton and Leicester were able to bring on yesterday. Compare that to us.

BTA is certainly surpassing expectations this season and carving out a niche tactical role. Nonetheless, it’s still a square peg in a round hole.

I

There’s still 38 games to go and in the long run, the quality will show for Ipswich imo. There are reasons to be sceptical of Leicester, Southampton and Sheff U (unproven/vulnerable managers).

There are plenty of examples where all it takes is one ‘crazy’ run and teams previously thought dead and buried are back in the playoff mix. Including ourselves last seasons.

One thing will be interesting is we’ve not waited 15 games to get going. The real test will be as to whether we can follow up the past 5 seasons and have an on fire middle of the season - if we can get to January around the top 2/3 - I reckon Doug will have the funds to get 2/3 key players.

Lampard is always moaning about the squad size, for him to be that catty about it after a 4-0 win suggests he is really quite pissed off with it. Either that, or managing expectations I guess.

 

[Lamps]

Lampard is right that the squad size is the only thing that can scupper us.

But it can also help us. Nobody can now deny that our players waiting to play are good enough. We have a really tight bunch of lads. Look at how everyone ran to KKH after his goal. We don't have players sulking because of not getting game time.

Yes it would be great to have an extra wide player or two. But 7 goals in 2 games with one of our wingers out actually shows we have strength in depth.

Please. Early night. School tomorrow.

Sorry bro it's just you said to mark your words that's all

Bar Andrews they were all established Championship players though

Breathe. In. Out.

Perhaps let your cousin on your account.

That’s my thinking too. I’m not sure we still sign Matty Grimes in Jan last season had we not worked our way into the playoff picture.

21/22 we got to a storming start and slowed down massively. The team was a lot weaker back then and our form under Lampard has been top 4 since he’s joined. This season we look better and have Haji fully fit so it’s just about keeping this up to Jan and being aggressive in the transfer market to get us over the line.

 

[Briles]

You love to see it

Shoehorned into a strange 541 with multiple out of position.

Desperately need another winger.

Hmm, interesting comments after such a convincing win, I agree. Clearly not happy but nothing we can do about it now until
January so we’ll have to make do.

Yet the one we had warmed the bench all night

My cousin read your post that lampard would be a disaster and to mark your words too though

Wonder if Rudoni out for a lot longer

He's maybe taking the pressure off the squad and deflecting attention
Mourinho was a master of it

Fair play for admitting you were wrong about the transfer window!

Sigh. You really are a deliberate bag of mostly water aren't you. Tbf though, you don't half keep the forum alive with your ramblings. We love to hate you

Well we are all mostly water, about 60% of us is. That said, that isn't as much as a jellyfish

 

[Lamps]

To illustrate what a tight league this is, we are the only team to have won their last 2 games! Just looked on other forums, Boro, Leicester and Stoke, and they are all saying ' Cov are better than us'. Prefer it when we haven't got a target on our backs!

Make that target bigger. We're not going unnoticed any more. Make our opponents fear us. We're becoming last seasons Leeds. Scoring lots of goals and now only conceded 1 goal in our last 4 games including one of our hardest games of the season away to Leicester.

It doesn't sound right talking about Coventry City like this. But it's how everyone else sees us now. 2 points and a GD of +10 above 3rd place. More than double the GD of the only other undefeated side. Undefeated into October.

What a time to be a Sky Blues supporter

 

[Bugsy]

Just enjoy this lads

What a start eh .. can't wait till the next game

PUSB

I didn't need to. I know what it is, its what people call Jimmy Saville.

He's having a nightmare

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

At this point I’m now gonna be throwing tantrums if we don’t get 100 points 100 goals

Exactly what I thought when we beat Stockport away first game after relegation in 2001...

Finish your marking and get to bed!
