My brother went to Coventry university, and I know back then, that the club used to give free tickets to students. Might have changed now, and I’m not sure how many, but they used to have links. Their sports courses also involve work with the club so their are some links with the uni at least

Make carlbakerday a real thing.

Tbf weren’t the rules relaxed on player selection at the start of the season? The new rules state this: Have started the previous or following first team fixture; Are in the top 10 players at the club for starting appearances in league and domestic cup competitions for season; Have made 40...

No the Willis bid was confirmed by the Rotherham manager. Are you some type of idiot? Literally everything in football is reported. Even a manager saying it is reporting it. BBC reported that Coventry won against Exeter should I not believe that? They also reported that North Korea fired nuclear...

Yeah the Willis bid was confirmed by the Rotherham. And the Brentford bid for Stevenson was definelty reported by someone with links to the club. However they only confirmed the first 2 offers I think. They never came out and talked about the third (1.5million one)

Yeah agree with some of that. Think that the improved performances from jones and Burge and co, is because they are no longer the experienced ones in the team! Last year they were so inexperienced and such a young team, which is one of the reasons they struggled so much. Think they have also...

He wasn’t critical to Northampton’s promotion from league 2 he played 23 games for them... wasn’t really given the chance by them after that so as you say he really was wasted. agree on the rest though, the others have stepped up and played well when asked too.

Wouldn’t say coaching is necessarily better, better faculties and more coaches yes. Our academy manager Richard Stevens is more qualified than a lot of professional managers. But he doesn’t want to step up to senior level. Yes you are right playing with better players might help. But if they are...

Tbf to both Biamou and nazon, not really a surprise they were blowing. Biamou started the last two and played 70 mins in the game before, and having only stepped up from non-league this season won’t have fully adapted. Same with nazon first real taste of English football. 3 starts in a row, and...

Is Biamou getting bashed around a lot?

Contract is up at the end of the season. Hear he is signing for wasps full time. Traitor!

But he is a priority if we can’t replace him? As I said if you read it. January is not a time to do business for a club like Coventry. It is a priority to keep these players because it will be very hard to replace them. Come summer it isn’t a priority.

Least priority? What if Doyle or Kelly pick up a long term injury? And obviously we will have the inevitable suspensions of the both. Agree it is a cross roads but he doesn’t seem to suit Robins style of play. So if a good offer came in summer i could see him accepting.

Would argue replacing players like Stevenson and Haynes is better suited to summer though? Both are more than adequate at this level. And I personally hate the January window, it doesn’t suit lower league clubs, except for extending loans, or maybe trying to pick up another player on loan. Very...

Tbh it’s looking more and more likely, that young kids, like your grandson, will have to stay somewhere like Coventry. While he may be snapped up if shows talent, as is well known they hoard talent, and a lot of kids are spat out and not cared for. Think it is much better to come through a...

None of them. Unless they were unbelievable offers. Don’t understand why you would sell Stevenson and replace him with a winger and a striker, when we only have 2 other senior midfielders? Yes we need another winger, but not at the expense of one of our better players. Willis is a key player...

From the academy staff I talked to when I was with the academy scouting, they were not overly worried about the whole situation. They said it was more of a problem attracting and keeping kids, because parents didn’t trust that the academy was gonna keep running, but they themselves seemed to...

Telegraph suggesting it is is Farndon stepping up? But what I can see happening is Farndon stepping up temporarily. Then once Steve Taylor is back, as assistant, the temporary guy will take over as the u23’s coach.

Fair enough, not that bothered anyway, as come January I’m not around to play anything. And I don’t play anything anymore so, not bothered.

Yeah I looked at it, but I didn’t know if it only allowed cashback on their own site?
