"Lati was good", dream on. Not quick enough of thought or good enough passer. The problems are in midfield

And when we go short, by the time we reach the point that a long kick reaches, we have usually lost the ball anyway, so there is no actual difference. Playing from the back is also very predictable and easy to counter. It only works imho if the goalkeeper releases very quickly catching the...

O'Hare - big part of the change around. One player we have of genuine Premiership standard

For all those Palmer-sceptics of previous weeks - there was absolutely nothing on when he got the ball on the touch line. With fantastic close control he worked his way down the line and up the byline and got a cross in into the danger area. He didn't stop there but kept running so was able to...

Maybe Sunderland are better than everyone thought?

Three points for Sunderland is now the most likely outcome. Should have stayed defensive, although not quite as much as last week. Sunderland players will be desperate to impress the new manager. I will be chuffed with a draw Alexa please give me an example of overconfidence - Coventry fans...

WE keep forgetting the loans - BCN, McNally and Doyle were really good. Kitching is clearly of that standard, but regarding Thomas the jury remains out. The current team have three/four top quality or potential top quality - Callum, Saka, MvE and Kitching. It is not enough for top 2. I also...

Bit of a hostage to fortune that one....

0-2 Southampton. Defence twice caught out by quick Southampton breaks... Fear the worst, but as my prediction record is dire there is always hope

However the point is irrefutable. Were we in Southampton's position with their squad playing a team in our position, regardless of recent form, the majority opinion on here would be for an easy victory. And the mood would be just as nauseatingly cocky

Eccles has to come back or else Sheaf and the defence is too exposed with only one holding midfielder. Southampton are not Brum and I suspect we could be hammered without the extra defensive cover. It seems to me there are two options 1. Straight swap Eccles for Allen. 2. Replace a striker...

But how many chances did he have to do it quickly? It actually makes my point. Need to do that almost every time

Good (in no order) Bidwell, MvE, O'Hare, Sheaf, Saka, the referee. Par for the course: Collins, Kitching, Thomas, Allen, Wright Below par: Simms, the opposition MoM: Bidwell. Should be Saka or O'Hare but Bidwell is so solid, makes few errors, does his best going forward, makes himself...

'feelings' are something only experienced by fans. For all other participants in the game it's 90% money 10% pride, just like everybody else's working life

Can we please start two new permanent threads so that ratings and matchday threads aren't cluttered up with......(politeness forbids me from saying)....but actually I will, b.......x 1. The Mea Culpa thread: This is for people to piously intone how they were critical of player x but now...

Three most likely outcomes Ipswich 0 - 5 City (Wright 5) Ipswich 1 - 0 City (Chaplin) Ipswich 0 - 0 City I suspect the middle one. .

I suspect the fairy tale indian summer of Ben Wilson is over. The lovely story of the perpetual number two and all round good bloke who finally gets his chance, makes the play-off finals and wins golden gloves. Sitting in the dug out again I suspect he may know that is where he is going to be...

Ditto Am I right in thinking we have three left sided central defenders - Lati, Binks and Kitching, or have I got Lati wrong?

This will mean that Lats will have played in three different positions already in his Coventry career.

amongst the 'average' bunch. While we are stretched so thin, I would sacrifice him for an extra midfielder.
