    F1 2026

    Not sure what to make of this season. I like the look of the new cars but the noises coming out about the strategies to charge the battery feels counter intuitive. Could be really open especially first half of the season but also worry that best driver and car may not get the rub of the green.

    What needs to happen

    Ideally two wingers or at least a player that can play across the wing and no 10. CM for competition / rotation with Torp and Rudoni we lack creativity without them. 50/50 on this but if a decent offer came in for Hadji I’d be tempted to take it and get a new no 9. Ferguson rumour was probably...

    Poor again and to be honest i think we have been off it for the last two months. We desperately need wingers and another midfielder. Not sure what was up with Torp. Sick of Hadji, we all know there’s a player there but we don’t see it enough. Play Simms against blues it’s his shirt for me now.

    Rusworth KKH, Wolf, Kitching, Brau at the back for me. Milan looks knackered and rushing Bobby back with Blues only a couple of days later may be a risk. I’d like to see Brau again before JDS is back just to see if he can offer something to us. Drop Rudi and start Eccles although Torp looked...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Ipswich Town Match Thread - Monday 29th Dec

    Poor tonight and tbh not sure what we could do to change it. Bidwell for Brau or Simms for Haji wouldn’t have made a difference. Feel like Eccles needs to come in for Rudi who needs to start earning his starting place even whilst accepting he’s trying to regain fitness. Asante can’t come back...

    Atmosphere again

    It’s definitely dropped off but think a lot of that’s because we’re so close to doing something special. The last couple of months we’ve not played great but have got over the line at home. Think there’s lots of people me included half expecting the wheels to come off. Then there’s the other...

    Match Thread Wrexham AFC - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 31st Oct

    Thought Watford broke through our midfield too easily yesterday. Will be interesting if Torp is deemed fit or not; maybe worth keeping him on the bench with Sheffield and Stoke the week after. If so think it’s three at the back just whether we go 3-5-2 or 3-4-3. As much as I’d love to give...

    New Fan Village

    Sounds a bit negative but was shit. Stupid queues to get in then nothing in there to justify queuing for. Good idea but make it worth going to.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Just don’t think we have enough to mount a serious promotion challenge. First 11 is strong but lose anyone in attack and midfield and I think the drop off is too much especially if one of the first xi is out for more than a couple of games. We could have money to spend in the new year but...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Feels a strange window and without sounding pessimistic not sure how we expect to get through to Jan without picking up some injuries. Frank will have done a great job if we’re competing for promotion at the turn of the year but can we really say he has been backed this window despite being...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Working on the assumption Wolf is done and no one else in I’d say we’re par for the window and squad compared to last season. Early days but think this season looks far more open but much more competitive than last year where the top three were so far ahead. Not sure we have done enough to go...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Could be a busy deadline day. Think if you can get money for Sheaf you take it but if him and Andrew’s are off we defo need another midfielder. Allen and Eccles isn’t enough cover for Grimes, Torp and Rudi.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I’d be disappointed but also understand why he was sold given we didn’t make a loss on him. Same with Bassette. Some of the money being asked for players in the championship seems crazy to me probably inflated by Blues and Wrexham. Think we need to play the long game and make the right...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Appreciate we seem to be going all in on Hughes and would imagine there must have been some encouragement but £10m plus seems far too much even after today’s defending. Would feel happier getting Woolfenden in at a reasonable price and taking a chance on Pye at Stockport. Feel like we need two...

    Rushworth or Wilson

    Been disappointed with him so far but it is only four games. Would give him until the next international break hopefully with a new centre half in front of him but if no improvement think Wilson then has to come in.
