    Any players worth having from points deducted teams?

    Derby, Reading possibly others to follow. Allowing for our financial restrictions any players we should be looking at to poach for next season. Guess it depends on which league we are in. Think we will just miss out on promotion, but you never know.

    Chants ?

    I suggested that on another thread. Even Ted Lasso uses it.

    Match Thread Sheffield Utd (a) - 12:30 - Sat 20th

    We are not great away, they are struggling. Several quality ex-players in their team and Billy. What could possibly go wrong. I would settle for a draw and be over the moon (Copyright Ron Atkinson) if we won.

    January transfer window

    Moore to date has been a massive improvement. Gyo and Godden (now fully fit for the first time since we signed him) likewise. Think Sheaf is class but can lose concentration near the end of games. Kelly is an integral part of our squad and got a contract extension for more than just his...

    January transfer window

    Agree to a degree. Often Dabo has the ball at his feet and I am willing him to hit it first time but he takes an extra touch. That is not a pace problem, that is decision making issue. Top coaches I assume say don't just cross if there is noone to pick out, take an extra touch and be more...

    January transfer window

    Think we have spent most of our budget so far. The National Insurance increase will add to our existing wage bill and has to be factored into all existing and future contracts. Fuel increases may have an impact depending on our contracts with the Wasps. That said, we have bigger than forecast...

    January transfer window

    Just saw the season review of League 1 and Dabos crossing looked good. Think the opposing teams have realised what a strong attacking option he is for us and closed him down. Maa has had way more opportunites and is still looking for some consistency in his crossing. Watched one of the matches...

    Wait for the FA cup depending on the opposition.

    Match Thread Sheffield Utd (a) - 12:30 - Sat 20th

    We are away from home. Need to start getting more points away from the CBSA. We owe them one after some games where they robbed us up there. Semi final and the non goal for us that was well over the line. Lets hope our ex-players dont turn up.

    Hope so, as their Chairman really wants MR.

    How times change

    Look at Brentford's attendance. Not the best supported turn out winners if the club is run properly.

    Match Thread Bristol City (H) - 6th November 3PM

    Hard to change a name (see Colly/Kasbah) but Coventry Building Society need us to get behind the name. Anyting with Coventry in the name has to be an improvement.

    Match Thread Bristol City (H) - 6th November 3PM

    Reckon will be loans in January, hopefully like James last year or O'Hare for a season a couple of years ago. Need a player who ups the ante and can make a real difference.

    Swansea (H) - Tuesday 2nd - 19:45

    Brilliant. Missed the fish and chips and mushy peas if we win. A time honoured tradition in our family which has sadly lapsed since the move from Highfield Rd. And the aspirin administered by the ladies for headaches when we lose.

    Wonder if Covid took more out of him than we thought. He looks 4th striker choice at present.

    Brights contract cancelled

    Ce la vie. The triumph of hope over reality. We hoped he could change and be a star. Club kept a lid on it and handled the whole business really well.

    Hull away

    Also once the capital of England. Elizabeth 1 spent her childhood in Cov. Mary (not sure which one, may have been Mary Queen of Scots) was held prisoner in Coventry. First, and invented city twinning by the women of Coventry. Green party started in Coventry. Conceptualist Art birthed in...

    Hull away

    I was surprised at the start of the season that the bookies had Hull at better odds than us. As others have said, we seriously need to improve our away form and on paper we should not have a better chance than at Hull. Thats screwed it then.

    Walker

    Think a fit Godden is marginally ahead of Walker in terms of experience and the number of times he has played with our longer term players. Walkers time will come. Think Walker will always score goals but not necessarily contribute as much as Godden overall at present.
