    Match Thread MK Dons (Away)

    I know, let's give all the super-fans on here something to cheer, play both Max and Jodi. However I'd go with the conservative option above from Johnwillomagic. So it is as certain as anything, that will not be the choice.

    Where do we improve next?

    the point is that bought specifically as back up, you areunlikely to get an upgrade on Pask. So why bother?

    Where do we improve next?

    To elaborate further. At RB we have Dabo-> Pask-> Burroughs -> Rowe -> (Dacosta?) To bring in a back up to Dabo, we need to loan out two/three players. Why bother?

    Where do we improve next?

    Everybody goes on about "sending players out on loan" although there is no evidence of a strong market out there for Coventry City players . Ponticelli went to non-league, Ngandu's gone to Iceland. Are there any others? Has any in the Robins era gone out then come back and made it to the 1st...

    Where do we improve next?

    Nobody. That's it. Lots of back ups - Burroughs, Rowe, Eccles, Dysdale, Baka, Bapaga, Jones to plug the gaps that come through injury.

    What would our starting 11 be next season?

    Starts 3-4-3 for continuity's sake but after a few games reverts to 4-4-2, and with all bar Rose back fully fit Marosi Dabo-Ostigard-Hyam-Giles O'Hara-Sheaf-Hamer-Allen Walker-Godden Shit loads of goals at both ends.

    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    For those querying the duration of this negotiation, and how it relects on the players ' commitment or lack of it, 33 pages on SBT is a mere bagatelle when compared to the Chaplin saga.

    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    ...it is a big step for him. Season long loans to Doncaster are one thing, kissing goodbye to a long cherished ambition to go to a club that may be struggling all season, is another. Having been here a year, O'Hara, in quite a similar position in his career progression, could make an informed...

    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    There is now genuine competion for many places in the team - if all fit and even you exclude those clearly designated as cover, like Baka. Four central defenders for 3 slots, three central midfielders for 2 slots, two strikers for one slot. Potentially four for the two flank positions up...

    as long as it is not a definite commitment to buy being descibed as an "option"

    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    Right, that is the three most obvious gaps that needed filling all plugged - central defence, central midfield and striker - Ostgard, Sheaf and Walker. Time to put the cheque book away and build the team.

    Started to develop atheritis

    Doesn't it depnd on which sort you have? Regular exercises as prescribed has helped my knee, but I suspect mine is quite mild.

    Realistic signings

    "miserable/pessimistic" - 57 years of supporting Cov, not suprising really. I am averse to wild optimism and the problem is that most football fans are endemically wildly optimistic. We tend to forget we are part of a business..and one that has had a near death experience.

    Match Thread MK Dons (Away)

    Just want to point out, did any one notice the raw pace of Eccles in stopping a Southampton attack at one point in the second half the other day. A serious burst of speed to cover the Sothampton break and he didn't give away a penalty at the end. That and the inch perfect pass to Baka against...

    Match Thread Southampton friendly Tuesday

    Shame Osti can't play. I would have preferred Robins to play as near as dammit the likely back 5 for the first game. With so much change at the back (Rose, Dabo all missing for the first games, Giles appearing less of a defender than MacC) aquiring mutual understanding at the back is a top priority.
