    Moulding a team in His image

    A good midfield general drops into pockets of space and makes themselves available Nothing to do with demanding, they find space and know what the best option is for them. It maybe give it back to the same player who gave it to them What is important is they keep moving and keep giving...

    I doubt we spent that much? But even so.

    Moulding a team in His image

    In fairness I would criticize them if they were free. Neither look to be Championship players. I accept it is early days for EMC? Too many thought he would walk into the side and perform? I never understood that attitude having to step up from League One?. Let's hope they both turn it around...

    Victor Torp

    You obviously have vague recollections of the sexy bits while ignoring the poor passes and the times he has got turned over and put us under pressure. That has been his theme this season. At the start of the season I hoped he would kick on, but he hasn't.

    The key was Barry Bannan to be fair more than coaching?

    Squad Planning and Recruitment

    I know where you are coming from and you make some good points. But at a quick glance Van Ewijk can cover Sakamoto and Latibeaudiere can cover Van Ewijk. Mason-Clarke played a lot on the right for Petebrough and has said himself he doesn't mind whether he is on the left or right. Something...

    I agree, I think he is an 8

    Victor Torp

    Complete fiction and conjecture. He has had game time this year with Sheaf out and just hasn't kicked on, despite a full pre seasons training. He is sadly lacking. It is up to him to turn it around. I honestly prefer Allen. Yes he has weaknesses but at least he brings energy. Off the...

    Victor Torp

    Adi Viveash thought he was between a 6 and an 8 not a 10. No way is he a 10. Not enough pace for an 8 to get up and down. Not strong enough in the tackle to sit deep. Yes he can pick a pass has a decent shot. But his weaknesses counter act the strengths rather than make up for them. His...

    Victor Torp

    Because Sheaf came back in and Torp is nowhere near Sheafs level. In fairness we were having our best spell of the game in the last 20 minutes and looked like the most likely to score the winner. A lot of fans have just reacted to the fact we conceded late. But Eccles and Sheaf were playing...

    Victor Torp

    I think it is more to do with the fact he has become too predictable in what he does. Always cutting back l onto his favourite left foot and defenders are anticipating it. He needs to mix it up and keep them guessing because he can cross with both feet. There were signs starting to show even...

    Motivation- Down to the players

    It has been a common theme in the 54 years I have been watching Coventry City. It is not always down to motivation. Some good sides give you more time on the ball in certain areas of the pitch which makes you look better in possession. Sometimes better side really attack you and are open and...

    Ben Wilson - well done!

    Wilson has his faults but I always felt his critics were too harsh on him. Jumped on his errors and his clean sheets were down to the defence nonsense, ignoring the saves he made. A bit like the take some fans had on wins were due to Adi Viveash's tactics and defeats were down to Mark Robins...

    Average Points Per Game Required

    Too early to panic but it is a tough League. For me it is the same as always. One game at a time, after Easter is when you know what is required.

    Thomas Asante

    WBA fans didn't dislike too much. They only seemed to point out occasionally first touch could be better. Also he scored the amazing goals but missed the easier chances. I always thought he looked WBA's biggest threat against us in recent seasons. I think we can improve him and was a great...

    Bidwell hasn't been at his best this season. But has still had good periods in games. He had his best game of the season last night even if you discount the goal he scored. One thing I will say about Bidwell, few players cover more ground than him in a game and it is intelligent running. He...

    Kitching was shaky last night, especially early on. Some poor touches and getting turned. Dived into a couple of challenges. But that could be the importance of the game and lack of match practice? They got a clean sheet so keep the unit together including the keeper. Give them a run of...
