    Match Thread Coventry City v Real Betis (Friendly) - 30th July - 7PM

    I think Simms does when he is on his game. I still maintain a lot of Rudoni's goals were tactical goals reliant on Simms dragging defenders away to the front post. I still question the service Simms gets. Just as much as I question his first touch. I also question his mental strength (that is...

    I find this an interesting point. Our fans often state what a good coach FL is (and I am not arguing against that). Wright and Simms scored 19 goals each across all competitions for us in their first season. That combined out scored the brilliant Gyokeres the season before. Okay last season...

    But would it in the Premier League? Recovery pace does not excuse poor defending in the first place. At our level he is excellent. Has he got development potential, probably yes. I think most Premier League teams will be happy to monitor how he develops under Frank.

    I'm glad somebody else sees past the love for Sakamoto. Yes he works hard, which is always good from a fans perspective. But he is inconsistent, especially away from home. Also at times very predictable. I don't care if he beats his man twice, especially if the end result is he doesn't get...

    He was under 19 when he joined. He was the only CB we had that played RCB, LCB and when McFadz got injured he played in the middle of the three. He was very impressive. He had two bad games, his debut in the cup and another game where he told Robins he was fit but wasn't and got pulled...

    Most defenders when their team is attacking get up to the half way line. I get the point you are making and it is valid. Pace is so important in the modern game. But it also depends on who else you have in your defence with pace. Doyle may not be lightening quick but he isn't a complete...

    You can pay on your phone just before the game and scan yourself in.

    Were they camped in their own penalty area all game? No. Plenty of examples of Paul McGrath defending as the last man just inside his own half for club and country

    I really rate Doyle. But in our situation £10 million is too much. Maybe £6-7 million with a load of ads ons. But I think 10 would be better invested on two players not one.

    Doyle was out injured for four months at Leicester. It's not like he wasn't good enough to make their team.

    No there was that one about three weeks ago, that said Dolan was at Ryton having a medical and it would be announced the next day 😆
