I think the thing that I find the most concerning / disappointing is I don't know that I can point to anything that suggests the coaching team have learned from last season and changed anything tactically. The Championship is a super competitive league and plenty of teams are very well...

I like EMC, but agree he has always looked a bit heavy. Pre-season looked like he had slimmed down a bit. Felt he played OK on Saturday, definitely a handful but sometimes he does way too much before just getting the ball in. In general, that laboriousness is what plagues the entire team. We...

Just read it again carefully, I was agreeing with your original post! Perhaps you’re in a noisy environment - it might be hard to focus on the words over the sound of your early retirement.

It's all mañana mañana lads

You totally missed the joke Hobo... I think I understand that names online aren't literal pal. I'll be sure to find time to send more jokes over your head though while tending to the garden in my palatial estate - which I retired to at 42.

Problem solving without context or constraints is the lifeblood of the Coventry City online community. I bet you're a Hobo because you haven't bought a house? If I were you, I'd prioritise that mate.

For EMC, I wonder if we'll see him faster and more nimble - it looked to me like he has lost a bit of bulk/muscle when I've seen him on pre season videos. Agree he can over complicate things at times, hopefully the coaches can work with him on that.

That's a great idea, have you thought about writing to Doug?

This is a good read on why this deal was done and perhaps why it took some time: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6501696/2025/07/26/arsenal-viktor-gyokeres-inside-transfer/

They've won back to back league titles and qualified for the champions league 2 years running - last year they won both domestic trophies. I think they've done just fine out of the deal. Everyone has, including us.

Doug has said multiple times that if a deal makes sense there's money to invest. This particular player looks like a profile that is very likely to return a good profit - hence we made a bid. I don't think it's the case that there's a finite budget (apart from the cap which is set by the...

I think that's what it is, too. If Dovin takes longer to return or struggles we still need a top drawer keeper, we know Wilson & Collins aren't at the level. If Dovin comes back and can challenge for his place, then Rushworth looks like someone who will turn a profit if needed.

I'm just enjoying following his career at this point and I doubted he would work so well at Sporting and he proved that wrong. One thing that I think is hard for statisticians to measure or spot is his mentality - he's clearly so ambitious and determined, that should never really be an issue for...

This is so obviously fake - didn't say "Join the journey" once or "in the arena". And we all know he spells it Ciddy.
