Not really, he has to impress their fans. New signing, young player, just saying sensible things.

No way was it agreed weeks ago and delayed. They may have been interest and bids, but no the actually deal has been done ove the last few days. City fans are great at making things up in their heads and all of a sudden it is reality.

Hobos? That is fine by me, fame at last.

Opening games are rarely classics and hard to predict, often each half can be wildy different. Will be happy with a draw, very happy with a win. Bought my tickets today, cant see me making too many games around Cov Rugby home and away. But looking forward it, as I have always enjoyed trips to...

He is a good player and talented. It will be a step up for him so might not be an instant success. But certainly has the potential to establish himself at that level.

Different type of player. Obviously Maddison has developed a lot since leaving City and is far ahead at the moment. But Bayliss is still young and has plenty of potential. Tough call with Maddison slightly ahead for me.

What if he knew it was unlikely Bayliss would still be here? Then we would be back to requiring two surely.

It depends. If a top player is sold but replaced with two or three decent players it can move the team forward. However it seems SISU, unsurprisingly, arent going to reinvest; so yes a frustrating policy. Many of the remaining fan base, having to endure another move out of the city, will...

Did anybody really see Bayliss staying the whole season? Most wanted rid of Chaplin? It was clear Willis and Burge were going. I dont understand why overnight on a rumour of Bayliss going and missing out on one target, people have gone into meltdown? With the move to Birmingham it was clear...

Why is it poor management of transfers? Players and other clubs dont have to drop everything so Coventry can sign targets. We are no different to any other club.

Trains might be busy but not pubs in Digbeth? Its miles from Edgbaston. Also fans will be at Edgbaston by 11.00 am when game starts.

Chaplin is shit, he hasnt had a touch yet.

But none are here yet. Optimism about players in ths squad is one thing and then on transfer rumours is another.

Its very much about Hiwula stepping up, along with Max Biamou and Jodi Jones (both after injury so a gamble) and Bayliss or Shipley coming good. A lot of ifs and buts. Allen and Kelly are a good solid base for midfield. A season that is very much in the balance. If your expectation is play...

Now I am not trying to big Max up but it is not all about scoring goals, as we know from our experience of Big Cyril Regis. Now you mentioned Kevin Kyle - well at least Max has never played for Sunderland; well at least not yet? Who knows he could turn into a gold mine by Christmas

I thought we over achieved a bit last season. I would be happy top twelve. A shout at play offs would be nice but not a disaster if we dont. This year might be about consolidation.

Or John Gayle.

82-84 Bristol Rovers and Coventry 44 appearances 14 goals. Not a bad ratio considering Coventry were top flight and most his appearance for Cov werd off the bench. I have seen worse in a Cov shirt. He was plucked from non league by Bristol he didnt cost money. We have had worse Premier League...

Rick Gekoski? Shouldnt he be writing about Coventry Blaze? Or Chicago Cubs?
