    Under 23’s ??

    I don’t watch our under 23’s but I’m surprised very few ever appear to be pushing to make the first team squad …. Even Howley is technically in the age group below. What is the issue ? Is our academy just not attracting the right calibre players because of our category status ?? There isn’t...

    Coventry Telegraph 🤯

    I’m not surprised that we have not heard from Robins, King or Boddy this last 2 weeks as they are all probably on much deserved holidays. I am surprised though that the Cov Tele never try to interview Austin et al. I think understanding how their last few weeks have been, what a typical day...

    Goals

    It was very noticeable last night that when Vik pulls wide and beats his man we do get bodies in the box but their movement is not that of a goal scorer. When big Vik doesn’t score we don’t really have that final cutting edge. The Waggy over Tavares decisions will continue to surprise us all...

    Managing expectations

    One of the things I like about MR is that post match he normally is pretty honest about our performance. today I’m surprised by his comments that clubs in the championship are splashing the cash and it will be tougher to compete. it’s not actually factually true. the only clubs spending money...

    Trialists

    I can’t remember a summer where we haven’t had at least one trialist in pre season or a player training with us to get fit / earn a contract offer. I might be wrong but it feels unusually quiet this season. Maybe at championship level the trialist piece is just at under 23 level ??

    Pace out wide

    @betterdays Do you think Robins is planning to increase our pace in the full back positions ?? So important to the way we play.

    Who and Why ?

    So it seems clear from the comments of Boddy and Robins that we will cash in on at least one gem this summer. If you had to lose one key player who would if he and why ? if sell O’Hare first. I love Callum as a player andhis end product has been much better recently, but I think you could...

    BBC CWR

    Crikey how poor were Benno and Lorna Bailey yesterday ! loved Bennet as a player for City but their post Match analysis was embarrassing. It was like listening to 2 people new to the sport but trying to blag it. Listening to them explain why we would be better not to go up this season and go...

    Ebosele

    Tore Dabo apart all match …. No end product but that level of pace and directness is one of the missing dimensions in our team. long standing city fans will remember that sometimes you can create problems for teams just through raw pace …. The Bobby Gould team of Quinn and Rosario had a front...

    Bright and Robins

    I really think a focused and loved Bright could be a big player for us this season. Im not sure that Robins is the right manager for Bright. Robins demands that players earn their chance on and off the pitch …. Bright looks like he needs a Harry Redknapp type to believe in him and get the...

    Long term target

    Robins said a few weeks ago that one of the players he hoped to bring in was a long term target. Unless MR now considers one summer to be “long term” it would suggest either we missed out on him or he’s a left wing back and could still be incoming ….. Any insights @betterdays ?

    The way we watch the game

    Reading the reaction to Craine, Soares, rumours on the forum last night it amazed me how quick people were to form an opinion on whether they would be a good addition or not . I watch A LOT of football, probably too much, but I probably watched Luton less than 6 times last season. I don’t...

    Robins very quiet this pre season

    He’s never one to seek the spotlight but Robins has been incredibly quiet this summer. maybe the rumours of a difference of opinion with Boddy over recruitment targets and budgets are true. very few comments after each friendly. hopefully more comments tonight with the season so close.

    Tindall

    Axed. Incredibly arrogant and dismissive of us when they beat us. No tears shed.

    Riding two horses ....

    It’s going to be a tricky couple of months on the recruitment and contract side for Chris and Mark. stay up and we can all name the players that need to be moved on as they are not upto the championship if you wish to be progressive. the challenge is if you go down many of those players are...

    Caught between 2 styles

    I think Robins has a lot of thinking to do this weekend. Our preferred style of play “ Robins ball” is far less effective in this division where the aggressive press puts us under pressure and we turn over ball too easily. however when we try to miss out the press and go long Godden does not...
