    Absolutely. A good point. Was fearing the worst today but hopefully this kickstarts the season. Better performance and lots of chances.

    The no loans strategy

    Considering their back line one of the slowest I was surprised how rarely we tested them on the turn. Wright skinned the right back two or three times early on and that was it.

    the issues

    Worries for me: 1) appears to be no overall strategy. How were we meant to play? Not sure the players knew what was expected of them. Are the coaches up to it. Certainly gone backwards since Lawrence and viveash gone. 2) when it wasn’t working we had no idea how to change it 3) 1-0 down at home...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    Norwich didn’t have to get out of second gear throughout the game. Gave them too much space in the middle of the pitch and rarely closed them down. Both Simms and later Bassette made decent runs but we didn’t try and find them quick enough. Considering we were 1 down for most the second half we...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    Spot on. Not able to break up play in midfield and allowing Norwich all the space. And when we have the ball not springing quick ball forward against a fairly slow back line. Simms making runs but brave enough to feed it through to him.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    If sheaf not recovered fully from injury then cover for him has to be a priority. Someone who can step in immediately

    Palmer leaving

    Bit surprised; a very frustrating player but also can be very exciting. Contributed positively in both Bristol games and always gets himself involved. Sometimes I think his brain sees moves that he just can’t pull off. Good luck to him

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Agree. That’s the problem in the championship for a lot of clubs. Don’t get promoted, lose better players, buy replacements (odd gem, odd dud), develop them for couple seasons , don’t get promoted…rinse and repeat. And hope you eventually get lucky.

    Bristol Player Ratings

    I think both praise and criticism are justified. Praise for shot-stopping and playing ball with feet. But a certain amount of criticism for his work in the air. Bristol quickly cottoned on to his tendency to flap/punch and put in majority of corners, and some crosses from the wing, on top of...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Not good enough all over. Wright doing well but Eccles, Torp, Rudoni not in the game. Defence fragile and allowing Armstrong to bully us. Not convinced by dovin either.

    Are we missing viveash’s influence on the sidelines? Something just not right at the minute.

    Need more strength in midfield. Shows the importance of sheaf and Eccles. Presume Eccles unfit or he would have surely started. Will probably play bit better second half and hopefully get couple goals.

    Decent game. Conceded soft opener but then better side for 60mins. Rudoni took his goal well. In end a quick counter attacked stretched us and they too opportunity well. Thought simms hold up play at times excellent, Allen’s fitness incredible. Nice cameo from BTA and Wright. Sakamoto back to best
