    Not giving up on Simms at all. But we need better for now, hence a loan

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    The Hamer replacement above all else But with Simms misfiring, Godden past his sell-by and Wright now at home on the left of a 4-3-3, surely the next call for a loanee is a physically strong front man, probably from a top tier club.

    Transfer Rumour Marc Leonard

    His only only achievement of note was in the FA Cup 3rd Round v Stoke when he put a corner right onto Tom Davies's head who put it back into the mix for Jordan Willis to score the first goal

    It is bazaar that Hamer is allegedly worth 10 times more than O'Hare

    Bids was surprisingly off yesterday, but he has been so good lately dropping would be harsh. I agree with the rest. When Robins did it, I did wonder if a front three of Palmer, Wright and Sakamoto might be a quite tricksy for many Championship defences and worth another go

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield Wednesday Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    It looks like I am virtually on my own in thinking this a poor performance against a side that relied on great lumps at both back and front with Barry Bannon in the middle. Were it not for a piece of brilliance against a tired defence by Sakamoto this would have been a scruffy 1-0 victory at...

    Kitching

    They are rarely rescinded - point of principle. Won't it depend on how they interpret Kitching's response to the first attempt to nut him? If there is any sight of physicality then he's toast. If it's seen as only verbal, he has a chance.

    Superb: Sakamoto: although he should cut in less, and take his man on more Good: Kitching and Thomas Bang Average: Collins, Van Ewik, Eccles O'Hare, Wright, Lati Poor: Bidwell, Godden Lets face it bar one sublime piece of finishing in the 89th minute this was a bang average performance against...

    "Lati was good", dream on. Not quick enough of thought or good enough passer. The problems are in midfield

    Sunderland Ratings

    And when we go short, by the time we reach the point that a long kick reaches, we have usually lost the ball anyway, so there is no actual difference. Playing from the back is also very predictable and easy to counter. It only works imho if the goalkeeper releases very quickly catching the...

    For all those Palmer-sceptics of previous weeks - there was absolutely nothing on when he got the ball on the touch line. With fantastic close control he worked his way down the line and up the byline and got a cross in into the danger area. He didn't stop there but kept running so was able to...

    Three points for Sunderland is now the most likely outcome. Should have stayed defensive, although not quite as much as last week. Sunderland players will be desperate to impress the new manager. I will be chuffed with a draw Alexa please give me an example of overconfidence - Coventry fans...

    This team will be better than the 22/23 team

    WE keep forgetting the loans - BCN, McNally and Doyle were really good. Kitching is clearly of that standard, but regarding Thomas the jury remains out. The current team have three/four top quality or potential top quality - Callum, Saka, MvE and Kitching. It is not enough for top 2. I also...
