Fair play to Ben, seems like a top guy and although I don't think he is good enough at this level to be our number 1, he did really well last night. He is a very good second keeper for us and where we are right now.

It's always polarized, the club is either seen as on the rise or on the brink of a crisis, I think there is a balanced view that we all need to try and adopt which is difficult when you're as emotionally invested as we all are. In reality, the club is where it is and trying to improve like every...

I tend to agree, look at Blues last season as an example. They spent a lot of money on the team, new management staff, invested into training ground and St.Andrews. They now play in league one, albeit they are very well placed to come back up but perhaps a slightly poor comparison as their...

I think in general the club is going in the right direction, without doubt. You only have to look at then investments that have been made on and off the pitch. However, in terms of the direction of the team, then yes I agree this is a concern. Investing in trying to find the next Vik is fine...

I'd love the Watford game to be a catalyst for us to go on a little unbeaten run. Robins used to do this, find a 7,8,9 game run, without losing. On reflection we were very good in first half at Watford, I just knew not taking our chances would result in us letting them back in the game, so...

I can't comment on his work competency or him as a guy, however I think this is again Doug wanting to get the best in class across the whole club. The fact he was there so long doesn't necessarily mean he was brilliant at his role, I think Dough knows that if we want to improve, we need to go...

You just know we win this 2-1 or something but then fail to beat Swansea, Leeds or Blackburn.

Well it's not really cowardly, more professional and an approach that doesn't impact either party too much. A reshuffle implies they both go in different directions due to the club wanting to work with someone else. It's not as though they want or need to hang Tynan our to dry, he still needs...

I'm not sure what you're saying here? My point is that he is saying we have reached a limit, which would make sense had we signed those 2 players on day. But we didn't...

I know and it's a fair point but what he says literally doesn't make sense... "But at this moment in time I don’t believe we are interested in anyone or can do anything. Again, we have got to be careful because there’s only so much you can do in any transfer window and I think we reached that...

Doesn't really make sense considering Turner was saying we were looking at 2 players on deadline day.

I think it's on 21st, there was an issue with the fixture database I think as so many apps (sky, BBC, Forza, etc) didn't have this match appearing.

Sorry if I have missed this but is the Swansea game on 21st Sept now moved? https://www.skysports.com/coventry-city-fixtures It's gone from many websites.

Can't see a Cov win this weekend, I'm going 2-0 Watford.

Maybe it's a bit of football burnout, there was a lot to digest during the first few weeks of the season with new team, transfer window, etc. There was also a carry on from summer (England). If I'm honest though I've had a proper football hangover since we lost Play off final. BUT... it's always...

The last pay as you play contract I recall was John Hartson, people thought that he was finished when he came to Cov from Wimbledon. He was either on that kind of contract with us or them prior maybe, can't remember.

I'm not getting carried away here to the point where I'm saying Matty James is better than Sheaf, not what I said. Point is, I don't care who is starting or finishing games but we need a squad. If we win 5 on the bounce with James starting all 5 having initially 'filled in' then great.

Unless he starts and we win games?

Absolutely, which is why IMO we kept Kelly 1 season longer than we should have. McFadz was essentially a key player until last season, when he left he was 36.

I really like Doug's model, it reminds me of Crewe back in the day (Ashton, Hulse, Murphy, etc went for millions even then), it's even more savvy these days buying 'assets' and selling them on with add on's and bigger money, then going it again. He obviously timed it well and saw how well it...
