    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    Reference the above, I have two pet theories neither of which has a shred of supporting evidence. One is that since relegation to L2, Fisher has been sidelined and Seppala is in charge of the relationship. And it is a direct quote from her that she does not do "losing". The other is utterly...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Just a speculation as to their motives. Trying to see it from what the Uni gets out of it. Maybe both sides are bring cynical

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Haven't scrolled through everything so if this is repetitive sorry If our source is right SISU have probably made several approaches to the University In retrospect they are an obvious partner - land / outside CCC area but in 'Coventry' / non-competing usage / scale Promotion may just have...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    But the University has been prepared to let it go public.

    Except he wasn't Walsh, Dabo and Godden at the very least rank above him, As do the three centre backs.

    Julien Dacosta 2019/20 – scout report

    This report slightly concerned me. One interpretation is that he is an out of contract French L 2 player who plays as a conventional right back in a four man defence, with a propensity for being caught out of position either too far forward or too easily drawn away from where he should be...

    Cowley sacked

    Oh well, if Robins gets poached by someone, I think the Cowleys would be good candidates to replace him.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    My first thought was "We have to be able to do better than Coleman, Dowie & Thorn" so mid-table. But then thought "...but the division is much tougher now, and last years's promoted teams have struggled" So I scaled back. Then I thought "...but our strength is our back 5 - Robbins Mark 2 has...

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    Is this a bit like when people sell their houses "with panning permission" for something or other?

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    You didn't read the comment about the changing shape not really affecting it. O'Hara is a right sided attacking player as were the others in the list. Dabo is an adventurous fullback. Adventurous, but still a full back. The point is that in the broad area of right sided attacking players this...

    Striker

    I don't think Brown was absolute dud. I never saw that much difference between him and Mason to be honest. Andreu - I'll give you. Never saw how he fitted in, even before injury. So make that three. Chaplin - did ok and has shown form since. He may have kicked on last year, we will never know...

    Striker

    Is it just me, but thus far the jury is well and truly out on continental signings to date. Kastaneer - say no more, one great goal and one of the most epic red cards in the Club's history; Jobello - looked useful but limited. So with Hamer, Dacosta and Hessner all coming in we are potentially...

    Transfer Rumour Jonathan Panzo

    Lucky to get £500k for Westbrooke - much as I like neat players like him. If he is not a regular for us, why should anyone pay more? Bayliss was a regular and has more potential, so scale back from that. I agree, in his unfussy way Shipley offers more. Left sided, does the grunt work and gets...

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    I'll start again For those who feel I am being unduly negative is recognizing the sell on value of O'Hare (potentially). This is the history of the right flank as far as I can remember. The change in formation does not change the basic story 17-18 Vincenti (experienced, had performed...

    Who else do we need

    he's 33 (Jacobson)

    This is undoubtedly true

    Who else do we need

    In 3 years only Bayliss and Shipley have come through from Youth. And that was in both cases in L 2. It is going to be even harder in the Championship. So unless they are outstanding (Newton?) we are unlikely to see any of the youth players break in without at least one loan spell to (say) a...
