    Match Thread Coventry City - Luton Town [LC] Match Thread - Tuesday 12th Aug

    The conspiracy theory that we have to pay a million if Simms plays another match is about to be tested. If Bassette doesn't play, there really will be questions about his time left with us. Our injuries are piling up and Haji, EMC and Rudoni were all not 100% fit on Saturday, so will be...

    Observations from today

    Said it before, there were three occasions where Asante was ahead of the defender in the box with the ball coming down. Three times he failed to control properly. We did get it forward quickly then but our striker was not good enough. Hull parked the bus. You cannot hit them on the break under...

    Striker

    Frustrating. BTA goal side of defender (albeit in tight situations) when ball played but his control let him down at least three times. Our crosses were poor. Three of our players in the box with the defence back peddling and we pick out a defender or over hit it. JDS played well today, but the...

    Clive Eakin on CWR

    Are CWR going for the cheapest possible options. Fancast was good but Clive and Oggy all the way for me. Always listened on catch up

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Completely agree about our shooting from range. Grimes had a great chance from the edge of the area in one of the friendlies and passed. Sheaf and Eccles were shooting more but Sheaf powderpuff, Eccles off target. Torp apparently has a good shot bur rarely uses it. Mowbray, the old school...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Rudoni would have been a USA international, but he was refused a visa.

    The Championship better than the Premier League

    Unfortunately, losing 6 to 7 million a year is unsustainable. We either get promoted or sell our best players. Sell your best players and you fall down the league, if you don't replace properly.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Absolutely no chance. Lets make 9 of the squad available. A squad that got in the playoffs. Lampard has said he is happy with his players and would like some additions. You take the minutes those players did out of the squad and replace them with who? Every player in any squad is available if...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I forget the author who pointed out that if a player starts 50% of games then he is a regular starter. Surprisingly many players in squads (it was based on the PL) don't achieve this. I get that twists the dynamic as PL teams have bigger squads. However, Eccles has started well over 50% in...

    Who Else Is Nervous?

    But for awkward bounces of the ball right in front of goal in the second game Rudoni would have scored. He did score in the first play off match. What went missing was our luck.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Aug

    I worry KKH won't be fit. Possibly Lati and definitely Eccles won't be fit. Wright I feel will be on the bench. If MVE is off or unsettled, then we struggle at right back. Hull have won all their pre-season matches which does not necessarily mean they will be better in real matches. I feel Hull...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    At least it's not the Showaddywaddy version, is it?

    Where will we finish

    Most of the predictions I have seen, apart from AI, puts us in the playoffs. Quite a few mention that Lampard is never as good in his second season. Of course, those seasons were all in the PL. Injuries and last minute transfers can always change the dynamic, but I expect us to be in the...

    What would you be happy with?

    I seems to me that the management team and the recruitment team have identified where our weaknesses lie and have tried to address them so far. We needed a top goalie on loan until Dovin is fit and back to his best. Up until yesterday, it looked like we had sorted that. LB/LWB has been a...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    At home we were in the main fine. Last quarter of the season away we were being picked off. I feel the Derby A match will give us a clue if the system is working.

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    When we turned down £5.5 million or was it Euros from Turkey, it was reported we wanted £8 million which sounds about right. Think his last club have a sell on clause.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Interestingly, the Norwich owner had a dig at both of them for having no experience of how to run a successful team or how to win things. He says he has from his ownership in the USA. Bedford have just been taken over by an American billionaire who says Wrexhams wealth is peanuts compared to his...

    Championship preview and predictions

    Some really contentious predictions there. Trouble with predictions is that they are always wrong so you set yourself up for a fall, as do we all. Think Ipswich will win the league. Middlesborough that low? I believe Adi Viveash is the best coach in this league. The only thing that everyone...
