It’s partly this I agree and partly our attitude to risk. it’s safer to throw it back to a full back than it is to risk the forward losing it. The problem is the full back then plays it to the centre half who then plays it to the keeper and Dovin then lumps it forward to the forwards. We...

Well at least we can save ourselves 40 mins as we won’t need to listen to that Cov Pod to hear Dawkins repeat endlessly “ the players lacked bollocks” “ Kitch put some manners on Simms” and Simon adding with great insight “ I tend to agree with you John” 🤣

Overson buying the ex players beers

I assume its simply a game of brinksmanship. We will want to offer him as little as possible, performance bonuses, and a short term contract. His agent will want the reverse and will be sounding out other clubs to see the best deal he can secure. Despite the comments on him being a Con fan...

I think it depends on what part of Cov you are from as to whether you see Leicester or Villa as your rival, just as it depends on what part of Leicester you are from as to whether you see Cov or Forest as your rival. I don’t think it’s an age thing. Over the last decade we have barely been in...

It could be argued that none of our strikers suit the lone striker role for differing reasons. I think Wright Simms has the most potential as a combination should we persist with 2.

I think it would take a crazy offer for the club to sell any of our players now before the summer window.

It hasn’t completed, yet:

It’s actually 11pm to submit initial paperwork and further 2 hours to complete any deals.

No apology needed …. We all love the transfer snippets the ITKs give even if some end up being wide of the mark

What’s happened to @rexo87 ?

That might well be the clubs expectation too, but if Burnley offer £5m for Eccles or Chelsea suddenly offer us George on loan then things can change quickly. I’m not saying they will just that they can.

I think our ITK’s are pretty reliable normally, not perfect, but often directionally right. Today however is a day when things happen that were not planned across many clubs. Clubs get desperate, players change their minds, unexpected deals become possible. Just because we didn’t expect to do...

It’s possible our starting 3 when fit will be Sheaf, Grimes and Rudi. They can take off Sheaf and Grimes and currently Frank would then bring on Torp and Allen ahead off Eccles. If you had to raise funds to buy Grimes who would you sell ? Don’t say Collins or JDS as its clear their currently...

I know Lati is playing CH because MVE is playing ! my point is that should MVE not be available I think he will ask a defender ( Lati ) to cover.

We can’t just collect players we have to sell some too. It makes sense to sell your 5/6th choice midfielder ahead of other positions with less cover.

We play 2 holding midfielders … ahead of Eccles are Sheaf, Grimes, Allen, and Torp. He therefore needs all 3 of those to lose form, get injured, suspended for him to start. I think Frank prefers Lati as cover at Right back.

Selling a player who can’t get into the team already despite Sheaf and a grimes not being available can’t be described as a disaster. To be fair to Eccles he may want a move himself to play games, he’s currently 6 choice for a midfield of 3. I like him but we do have to sell some players to...

It doesn’t work like that.
