    Running

    I used the canal for my marathon training runs too, much preferred it to any other locations. However I got nowhere near 20 miles, I ran 16 miles once, and I didn’t start training until February! My marathon prep certainly wasn’t structured, planned or intense - and that was by choice. Cliche as...

    Match Thread Portsmouth vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 20th Aug

    Portsmouth are a good promotion chasing side, but so are we. I know it’s more fun to talk about how poor we are etc etc etc, but we’re not. Portsmouth will be just as concerned about us. I think it’ll be a tight game, but as long as we play football I think we can come away with a victory. If...

    Fankaty Dabo v Dujon sterling

    I’d be disappointed if he looked weaker than Sterling. I posted in a thread during pre season, that on paper Dabo is an upgrade; they had a similar footballing upbringing at Chelsea and both represented England at youth level, however Dabo has the advantage of playing men’s football for a few...

    Never. Best striker we’ve ever had.

    Running

    Anyone running the Atherstone 10k next Sunday? It will be my sixth ever official run (including the marathon) and thus far I’ve just ran for ‘fun’ and the experience of running a new route (and the free technical t-shirt!). I also completed my 5th Park Run today. However, the competitive side...

    injury update

    Leaves us short at RB if Dabo were to get injured. I don’t think any of the first team CB’s could cover there, so we’d probably be looking at the youth team. Who is the current youth team full back? I bet Hickman is kicking himself even more now - he’d have been back up RB now wouldn’t he?

    Frees available-but would they add to our squad?

    I think most would improve the squad and unless they demand ridiculous wages, they would be worth a gamble. You’d think we’d be in the driving seat negotiations wise, as they’re essentially unemployed. However it all depends where MR believes we need strengthening. Another winger and/creative...

    Erhun Oztumer

    I’d like him; he’d add creativity and be a different style of player to our other centre midfielders. Plus, he can play 10 so adds flexibility if we need to change systems. Guessing there’s nothing in it though?

    10 weeks - any news ?

    I’d just like to enjoy the football for a while. Tired and bored of the politics stuff. Our owners aren’t great, but they also aren’t stupid and know we can’t sustain playing in Birmingham forever. It’s Wasps and CCC I’d be worried about when it comes to stupidly - ‘cutting their nose to...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Exeter City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Aug

    We still couldn’t meet a team of kids on Saturday though so we’re definitely still getting relegated. Oh, and let’s not forget we sold JCH.

    U23 v Barnsley

    The smaller clubs getting the worst deal, what a surprise!

    U23 v Barnsley

    And I suppose the risk we have to accept is that it could work the other way and teams are impressed and offer him terms. When can he officially sign with us?

    U23 v Barnsley

    Good job I wasn’t then. I’m hoping someone in the know or who watches the U23’s has some insight.

    U23 v Barnsley

    I know Bapaga is a hot prospect and impressively already around the first team squad, but wasn’t Ngandu also tipped to make an impact this year? Is that still the case and Bapaga is just overshadowing everyone, or is he just not as ready as initially thought?

    Match Thread Bolton Wanderers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 10th Aug

    Biamou is having a mare (and I actually like him). Getting increasingly worried this isn’t going to happen. We’re too lopsided with Biamou on the wing, we really are lacking width and creativity. Ref is absolutely atrocious.

    Fucking hell Godden. He’s now officially a shit signing. Biamou looking lively so far.
