Don't mind Bassette instead of Simms personally. I seem to be in the minority with it, but he does everything Simms currently offers and more. They are both young and need to show the bare minimum desire to warrant the shirt. Last seasons stats are just that, history. We're in a bit of a...

No one will turn on him. Wish him a happy life and move on. He's an opponent now.

Rapha debut.

Ohhh lovely. I'm after a new logburner with dark oak surround.

I'm not say Bidwell can't cross, he can. Just that EMC or Rudoni's are considered better and encouraged more.

Yes I expect both will play. Just how it all works will be interesting. Probably like Goblin says, some freedom to rotate between themselves.

Whilst on paper, that trio looks our strongest forward line, I'm not convinced Wright is as good centrally than he is on the left. Personally think we haven't found the right CF/ST/No9 yet.

I think the full backs have been told to be inside the wide players and not overlap. Makes sense as both Bidwell and MVE aren't as good at crossing as say EMC, Rudoni and Sakamoto. MVE mentioned it in a previous interview. The issue isn't that Sakamoto is not positioned correctly. It's that the...

City Head Coach Frank Lampard looked back at the busy festive period, ahead of his side travelling to Carrow Road this weekend. The Sky Blues are unbeaten in their last three outings, a run they will look to extend this weekend against Norwich City Ahead of the clash, Lampard spoke about the...

He will. In fact I dont expect him to be back playing until the Bristol match at the earliest.

The outlook maybe more palatable when Wright and EMC are back. Plus hopefully some interesting additions during the window. If anything the remained of this season will give us clear views on who we want around the squad going into next season. At the moment, not too many of them! Let's not...

Good one Big Willy.

Actually, no scrap that. I hope he fails but is happy in life.

Good luck to Robins. Hope he does well there.

I skipped to a random point: "I honestly have nothing but good thoughts, good feelings and good experiences from Coventry City. Loved the place, loved the people." 😬 But, but, but, but......

Yeah I think that's the general idea of it. I'm by no means any xG guru, not even close. But many on here hold it in high regard so I took a look into our data. The bottom line is, we should be scoring more, conceeding less and in turn have many more points on the board. However, that said...

Yes I think so. Another interesting xG comparison by games/opponents. Only Burnley (A) & Portsmouth (A) have out xG'd us in the last 8 matches: We are the dark blue bars, opponents the light blue:

Nice one.

Just doing a bit of xG digging. Under Lampard, we have the 2nd highest net xG in the Championship, 2nd only to Leeds. (Caveat, not including yesterdays game, but get a feeling the stats would further "improve") Season 24/25 before Lampard: xG per game: 1.38 xGA per game: 1.06 Net xG per...

Nah, I'll keep reading and smiling.
