Perhaps clubs can see what some deluded Cov fans could not - he was basically L 2 level. And L 2 clubs are all broke

I am going for the classic Coventry City result. Concede a goal in the first half, fight back in the second half with a latish equalizer so 1-1. The first 11 is marginally stronger than last year and now more experienced at this level, even if the back up is paper thin. If Sheaf plays as well...

Prepare to be dissappointed. They don't just come automatically back - they have got out of the habit in the meantime, and have found other pursuits to fill time. It might change if we threatened to get in the play offs. But why suddenly go to watch a struggling team? People do have other...

we need some younger legs in defence - Hyam, MacFadz both slow and Cranie is 35. If not Osti, then Osti-like. Elsewhere I would like to see some outgoings - to free up a bit of cash I am hoping that some of the youth players come through - Bayliss and Shipley were the last to become first...

The Charlton comments make him sound more like Ryan Giles than anyone else

Legend in every respect - player, human being.

But City under Robins and Boddy (esp Robins) have been a tight ship with regards gossip.

Loads of crap european signings 1/2 out of 4 - Kasta, Jobello, Hillsner & DaCosta. DaCosta gets a half. That geographical area was touted as being Badlan'sarea of expertise. It was almost certainly his project. 4 slots in the squad tied up. We would have been better with a couple of old pros...

I remain highly dubious of Bright's ability to be sufficiently disciplined to fit into a team framework. Previously we were mid ranking L 1 and it could be indulged. Now we are scraping along at the bottom of the Championship, I'm not so sure....but I know nothing. He will be cheap, so the...

How the mighty have fallen

He is when you factor in circumstances - owner, financial, ground and the league is way more competitive now than then. The League 1 promoted side with Walsh, Godden and O'Hare would beat Hill's League 2 (Championship) side 7 times in 10.

Bright is a super player, but disruptive in every respect. For all his individual skill, because everything focused on him, I thought he disrupted the shape of midfield. So his individual skill had to compensate for a loss of shape in the midfield as a whole. In the games I saw, it didn't. The...

You need to get a life

Last year we used 24 players. This year? Last year in brackets 2 (2) - Goalie - Moore and Wilson 3 (4) - Central defence - Rose, MacFadz, Hyam. Assume Drysdale has a further loan as he is not an Osti replacement. 3 (4) - Full backs - Burroughs, Pask and Dabo on the right - but as Reid is not...

Agreed. He has value to other clubs lower down, and is unlikley to be first choice. For strikers (and in the EFL probably only strikers) that is the combination where you sell out. Gyokeres has a physicality we need.

After all that anxiety about no incomings suddenly it's all a bit London buses.... As has been pointed out, it appears all to do with when everybody's existing contract officilly ends. In which case I am not sure what Luton are about...

Get rid/release It's an odds thing. There is a chance he might make the grade and there is a chance he might get fit, but the odds on both happening are crap.

only partly true, the core of the League 1 side was free or freeish acquisitions - Rose, Marosi, Dabo, Allen, MacFadz. Plus inherited Westbrooke, Hyam and Kelly from previous seasons. It wasn't only Walsh and O'Hare. We ceased this route to players last years and switched more to loans. This...

I am still surprised they allowed Robins enough slack to build a League 1 winning team. They must not have been paying attention, or assumed Robins was as incompetent as all his predecessors, and got caught out...
