Watched some of the Jephcott kid from Plymouth today while bored and I don't think he's what we need. From what I can tell he's a pure fox-in-the-box striker. Doesn't get involved in link-up play, doesn't seem to have any real pace or ability to win headers. Quality first-time finisher but I...

I think the big decider will be how ruthless Robins is in the summer. We need as much wage budget as possible, which means being brutal and not only clearing out the players who aren't at this level, but some of the others that are borderline as well.

Yeah those types of transfers, foreign lower league 'gems' a la Kante, Mahrez, Jobello etc would be pretty much impossible.

It is easier...if they play in the Copa Libertadores or Copa Sudamericana. They are now treated as equal to the Champions League and Europa League in importance and provide a high number of work permit qualifying points. Whereas before these players would've needed international caps, now you...

I don't think he would've acquired enough points using these metrics: New Work Permit Requirements For Players Moving To English Clubs Post-Brexit

From what I can tell, we wouldn't have been able to sign Hamer under the new rules. But it does make it easier to sign South American players if they've played in the Copa Libertadores.

McNulty as well

Binned off by Villa for head-butting a teammate. Also drink-driving, and a nightclub fight. No thanks.

Luke Thomas has been linked with a loan move to Ipswich in January. I'd certainly take his pace in the team right now...

Hell of a recovery tackle by Sheaf on Onyedinma at 1:21. Goal-saver.

A rapid, direct winger please.

Dear Mark, Please stop playing Jamie Allen. He is awful. Sincerely, Everyone at SBT

STOP THE COUNT

We should try Baka in every position on the pitch for the U23s, maybe we'll stumble upon one he can actually play.

Football is so important to people's mental health that they'd be crazy to stop it.

Love that Robins saw it wasn't working and tried something new. And it paid off massively! We looked so much more of a threat going forward, and the midfield was still able to protect the defence, recycle possession and join the attack.

I'm sure Hamer is liked more by fans because A - He cost £1.3m and B - He runs around more.

I'm sure Robins didn't expect us to play how we did yesterday. Long balls up to Godden wasn't his plan, it's what the players decided to do when they got scared or needed to relieve the pressure.

Sheaf outpassed Hamer last night and finished with a better %. Gus's constant 45-yard balls behind their defence didn't help.

Some stats from last night: Oh and Boro's CB Dijksteel played more key passes than any Coventry player. That's how bad we were going forward last night.
