    Ellis simms

    He’s so good and so much potential too. I’m convinced his introverted personality is the reason he isn’t a fan favourite and is often on the boo boys list. Anyone still crying for the bloke who runs around a lot and points for the ball in impossible places?

    Match Thread Sheffield Wednesday - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 15th Feb

    Poor performance but fantastic result. All the cliches re playing poorly and winning are entirely relevant. Starting to have that same play off season feeling; finding form at the right time, grinding out results, camaraderie and connection growing, momentum on our side. And Sheffield has...

    Collins On The Bench Again

    Decent enough team, back to the shape which brought us success and a strong bench. Feeling pretty hopeful. Side note; the constant point scoring and bickering is tragic.

    Pato

    Really playing into the Coventry thing, and I’m absolutely all for it. Before people get themselves worked up, he’s never “rejected” us. Good signing and it’s even better he’s a Cov kid.

    No alcohol allowed at the 2034 World Cup

    Obviously you don’t need alcohol to have a good time and all that. However, if you’re spending a fair whack to go to Saudi to watch the the WC you surely want the choice on whether you have a beer or not. It’s also part of a big tournament, the social side of being with your...

    How good is Sakamoto?

    There’s also the fact he’s not had a sustained run in his favoured RW position with MVE behind him. If we switch back to a 4 soon he’s a guaranteed starter in that role, especially as he has no real competition. I would like to sign a pacey RW for next year but would definitely keep Sakamoto...

    Change to an attacking shape = great Doing it with the personnel we have = not so great

    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    Repeating myself from previous games, but I really don’t get this shape or tactic. Rudoni wasted out wide, Sakamoto involved more than last game, but looks a bit lost, and Simms isolated. Go back to two up front or all out 4-3-3, the current shape/tactic is not producing what we know we are...

    Fair play to Kitching. I hear a fair bit from behind the scenes and he was a ‘bad egg’ - the ITK were right. However he’s absolutely turned it around and it’s been reflected in the commitment in his recent performances. He deserves the recognition tonight. Big ol redemption arc - nice to see.

    Jack burroughs

    Not sure what’s gone wrong really. He looked more than good enough when he made his debut a few years ago, then had a poor game, was dropped and hasn’t done anything since. He cannot have regressed that much? Appreciate he won’t start ahead of JDS, but I would like to see him get minutes.

    As long as the middle three is; Grimes Torp Rudoni We will at least have the ability to create through the middle. Flat back 4 is too big a risk with JDS. And I don’t think we have the wingers available to warrant it. If we do go flat then Binks or Burroughs LB.

    Raphael

    Just very raw, naive and not used to the physicality of the league yet. It’s great he wants to take people on and try and drive forward, but he’ll need more in his arsenal to succeed doing in doing that. He loves a heavy touch too. All things that will improve with experience and top coaching.

    Honestly don’t think anyone comes out of today with any credit at all. If you really wanted to push it, you could argue: Rudoni - didn’t hide, decent technique and in tight situations as always, but wasted out left and poor set pieces today (unlike him) Kitching - stepped out with the ball a...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Ipswich Town [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 8th Feb

    I can sort of see that, but in reality it looked like Thomas was man marking Clarke, so being dragged all over the place, Lati was tucking in the cover and therefore leaving acres of space down our right/their left which is where we kept being overloaded. Where as JDS seemed to be playing more...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Ipswich Town [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 8th Feb

    I genuinely don’t get the shape. If you are playing RM/LM (Saka and Rudoni today), what is your role? You’ve got a WB behind you and a CM the other side. If you get the ball you’ve got one player ahead of you. When those players are a WB who won’t overlap and can’t play, and two CM’s not known...

    Lati has been shite but in his defence playing him RWB is mental.

    20 minutes left, same defensive shape, same absolutely exposed RWB, still 2/4 midfielders who can’t create. Not sure Frank got the King FA Cup message.
