Pre-Injury Marosi straight back in. Now having had his head put back together...? Will he so willingly stick his head back in there? Will he psychologically hang back on a 50/50? The brain is a funny old thing and controls the body (usually) - Marco might think he’s the same as before...

Not sure throwing the player straight in before he’s had chance to adjust to our style was the right move. (He needs a few practice matches and may be a run out in the 23s, else he’s not going to know where and when to run) Putting on a big headless chicken for 45 mins to harass their defenders...

Wilson 5 Osti, McFadz, Hyam 4 Sam Mc 6 Dabo 7 James 6 Hamer 7 Shipley 5 Ohare 6 Victor 5 Subs. Late.

That was poor. Defending was hilarious. Midfield industrious. Attack toothless.

Silly

To Coventry - yes - agreed. We need to get back to Coventry (or as near as makes no difference, Exhall or Ryton or some place that is “Cov” even if not in the Cov Council patch. Is Warwick Uni? I’m not sure) To the Ricoh? Short term at a push. However, if we do break ground elsewhere it might...

Agree 100%.

At Highfield Road there were most often more people in the ground than the official attendance. This was through a combination of turnstile operators trimming (putting a few quid in their own pocket, particularly on the Kop and particularly when no ticket was issued) / squeezing people through...

It’s a diminishing spiral. Poor initial transport links, lack of decent pubs, stadium far too “open” = reduction in atmosphere fans too far from pitch = reduction of “cauldron” like effect which = less effect on players be they ours or opposing. I mean, has anyone ever referred to the Ricoh...

I really hope that we never go back to the Ricoh. I re-read the other day that it was voted the worst footballing experience in the EFL https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-citys-ricoh-arena-home-12853954 Warwick Uni, The Butts, Greene King stadium, Lady Herbert’s...

O’Hare seems to bottle it in front of goal. It was an issue last year that seems to have gotten worse. Ironically he probably does great in training and it’s only on match day that he fluffs it under pressure. He strikes me as the type of lad who reads forums, searches himself on Twitter and...

Over this season I’ve seen our throw in strategy somewhat lacking. Our players seem to have no clue what to do and often we seem to either be pressed out of anything or go backwards for a defender / goalie to lump forwards with possession often lost as a result. I hope our coaching staff have...

I think he’s going to be useful off the bench in a central role. He’s got some pace so getting Hamer / James to ping balls across/ over the top will cause tired legs some problems.

I think we’ll end up with James as a high sweeper, sitting in front of the back four, recycling the ball side to side, defence to centre. Kelly in place if available. Hamer will have a free role / box-to box creativity. Not sure we have a stand in for Hamer. Allen? Sheaf as a central mid /...

I think this is a great signing. Regardless of any opinion, Sheaf, Hamer, Shipley, O’Hare (our midfield for the last game) are all YOUNG players. McCallum & Dabo out wide are far from ancient. Godden is out and Mad Max has spent most of his career in semi-pro so hasn’t the same level of...

Is he always at the “Baka” the class?

I know I’m about to be shot down but playing for the club he grew up “having an interest in”, where his dad played as a youth and (probably) his mates / family supported does make a little difference. I dressing room with a few local lads who give that “slight bit of an extra care” about the...

Robert Rose-ario?

12k per week makes him a contractual liability if they have no intent on ever playing him. He can sit around and cost £300k-£400k (with ni and ins and bits and bobs) or they can release him for a sell-on-fee clause and maybe contribute a bit towards his wages. Ie. Cov sign him on a free with...

Ben Wilson on his podcast mentioned Shipley liking a beer. People might be putting 2+2 together and getting 5 or they might be getting 4. He’s bulked out, struggles to play after 65 mins and isn’t as quick as he was (plus Wilson making comments) is one side, or it might be bollox. Bottom line...
