Good to see we have another boo boy to add to the Sheaf and Moore list.

I’d be happy if the Cranie rumour was true. Underrated last time he was here, and played out of position a lot. He’s a great ball playing CB, with plenty of experience and positional sense to mitigate a lack of pace. Versatility is useful too, but I don’t really fancy that being used to play him...

Shit position for Derby to be in, but selfishly it’s great for us. Hopefully one less team to worry about. Saying that, the players they have left are all pretty experienced and decent enough, so it’ll only take a few signings to get them out of their mess. Also not a bad pre season to be able...

Wow. You used to be a pretty balanced poster. Hope everything is ok.

Haha you joke, but I posted along similar lines last week and as recently as Tuesday….. It’s ok now though, we’re signing Maatsen , who everyone had definitely heard of pre his link to us, so we’re back to being title contenders again.

I get the sentiment around a marquee signing, and who wouldn’t love that. But if a return to playing home games in Coventry, the first opportunity to watch us live since being crowned L1 Champions, the first opportunity to watch us in the Championship, and in general a return to football after...

Just catching up on the thread; too much worry and pessimism for me. We’re a CB and a LWB away from the same squad as last year - a squad that comfortably stayed up. We’ve improved our attacking areas. James isn’t the colossal loss he’s being made out to be - most people didn’t rate him until...

Hope it works out for him, always rated him and still don’t fully understand how he went for one of the first names on the team sheet to obscurity. Rotherham game aside I felt he always dealt with his lack of height well, and often seemed to get under people. Definitely more of a LB than LWB...

Don’t think we’ve gone significantly backwards defence wise. We’ve lost a stand out in Ostigard, but I have full faith he’ll be replaced by a more then adequate CB, if not the man himself. At which point we have the same CB’s as last year, all of whom have a years more experience and all of...

Not sure this warrants any negativity. Perhaps a slight concern but the pros by far outweigh them. He left a bitter taste last time round with the way he left, but I think that was just immaturity, perhaps mixed with narcissism. He’s had a reality check the last few years and has hopefully...

Rarely for SBT we’re pretty unanimous on the need for a LWB and another CB (ideally LCB). So I’m sure MR/AV/CB are having the exact same though and more importantly acting on them. I think we’ll pick up one permanent and one high potential loanee. I liked McCallum but not too concerned we...

I know that has been discussed. I know that was also part of the reason the Collins one didn’t happen.

I’m pretty confident we’ll start the season with a stronger squad than we finished with. James is a loss but replaceable, as is McCallum. All our first team signings so far have improved the squad and if we get Ostigard back and secure a good LWB then we’ve improved. Throw in someone with the...

No, but it’s definitely gone backwards significantly. Not quite at the level the Gilmour interest wavered to, but something has caused a pretty big road bump - and it’s not all about money.

We 100% were. It was pretty close too, not quite clear what’s gone wrong yet.

Not sure I can cope with pens.

They look so scared when Sterling runs at them. We need more of that! Still think Grealish for Mount, but it comes with risks i.e. he won’t defend.

Declan Rice having a great game. As is Kane. Grealish/Saka/Sancho for Mount at some point, as they do not like us running at them at all.

Luke Shaw is class.

Here we go!! Strange team, but we don’t question Gareth at this point. So much damage on the bench too.
