    Transfer Rumour Bobby Thomas

    I’ve been surprised how much people enthused about him after we played them. Thought he looked an old school donkey who looked good only because he was allowed to manhandle Gyokeres all game. Think he’d get ripped to shreds with rapid forwards and a decent referee.

    -1 point for spelling it Mark Robbins though!

    Would be the wurst signing of the summer.

    On a Coventry forum, I think that should be ‘Chill your batch peeps’🙂

    Even just the way he ran. Like he was trying to generate speed with his upper body because his legs weren’t responding like he wanted. Really hope it’s something he can get sorted for his long term health. There are some things more important than football. Anyone can miss a penalty but, as...

    Hamer

    Hyam was good at passing - behind his wingback and onto his wrong foot.

    Hamer

    1 little taste of success and everyone’s acting like plastic armchair PL fans and abandoned any sense of realism.

    Uncle Derek collapsing at at your 21st birthday party and the hospital staff discovering he was wearing a pair of ladies knickers.

    4 goals in 43 league games for us. He should have had 20 that season. He was like a precursor to O’Hare in many ways, ridiculous work rate for a forward, exciting on the ball, fast. But he missed so many chances that by the end I wouldn’t even get excited when the ball came to him, was just...

    Missed Loan - Callum Doyle

    If we have to shout ‘he’s behind you!’ every time at Simms, then I’m not sure he was worth the 8 million!

    Most frustrating player I’ve watched since we were relegated. Couldn’t hit a cow’s barn with an arse banjo. Or whatever the phrase is.

    They’ll all be 40 now. If they reformed they’d be the Sky Blue Bellies!

    A nice normal pair of black football boots with a nice normal pair of uncut football socks inside them!

    Gyokeres

    You'd think the used ones would be a bit cheaper than 12 quid, given that half the pages will be stuck together. I'd expect the 29 quid Collectible one to at least be a pop-up book too for that price!

    Transfer Rumour Dylan Vente

    Heard we’ve been linked to Al Dente too. Although he’s a little undercooked for some people.

    Transfer Rumour Billy Sharp

    Can’t remember the last time we actually had a forward with a decent aerial threat. That alone as an option, for the last 20 mins, is worth considering.

    Transfer Rumour Billy Sharp

    We have a young squad. Robins has always liked experienced pros around for the youngsters to learn from. Doyle, Matty James etc. Fadz, Kelly, Sharp would be one for each area of the pitch. While underwhelming, with 9 on the bench this year I don’t see it as such a big issue. We don’t see what...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    The wing backs sitting back a lot was exactly the problem. A back 5 with 2 sitting midfielders. Fortunately we had Gyokeres unique attributes which meant when we were forced to go long and playing counter attacking football for most of 2nd half of the season, it was relatively successful. It was...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Getting a top quality right wingback in is probably the most important piece of the puzzle now. Creative attacking wingbacks that are genuinely comfortable in the final third will go a long way to easing the loss of the other aspects of Gyokeres game. I know people will look more at our centre...
