    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    Tricky game. With Bidwell out were immediately exposed so I’d play one more game with 5 at the back to get jds further up the field. Cannot play him and Binks so I’d go with Dovin Ewijk. Lati Thomas Kitching. Jds Allen Grimes Rudoni Simms BTA

    Summer Transfer Window

    If we’re working on the assumption that Ewijk and Sheaf go and Gyokeres also moves on my shopping list would be: Two RB’s 1 very good CH (biggest outlay) 1 LB capable of playing ahead of Bidwell 1 midfield Anything else based on plugging outgoing gaps

    Premier league standard

    We do have players who could operate at that level. Van Ewijk, Rudoni, Wright, Sheaf. Possibly Dovin and Emc. That’s decent for a championship club. The trick is making a team. We’re a long way off being promotion contenders at the moment because the squad is unbalanced.

    Ipswich player ratings

    The game exposed our lop-sided squad. No cover at RB. No real cover at LB. One of the poorest CH’s I’ve seen as back up in that position. We’ve addressed the midfield. Must be a complete overhaul defensively in the summer.

    Next 5 and v last 2 years

    Realistically we’ve started to slowly to get to the play offs. I don’t think we have the consistency to make up that bit of ground and stay there. The Leeds game was a reality check in a way.

    Rudoni clear mom for me. Dovin close behind. Grimes showed what he will bring. Personally I’d have Simms and BTA in for extra training and just get them to control the ball. It’s a very basic skill at this level that neither have.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Leeds United - Match Thread - Weds 5th Feb 7.45pm KO

    They are a good side. That simple. The reaction here is way OTT. Their squad is loaded due to parachute payments and that advantage shows.

    Where does Norman fit?

    It would be madness to change things now just to go back to a pre conceived idea. Lampard has already shown he’s willing to be pragmatic. Temporary solutions that work normally become permanent

    Where does Norman fit?

    He fits in as a squad member. Like every other member of the squad.

    Relegation Battle?

    Something Lampard will have to address is our slow starts to the season. It’s the one thing I always found odd with Robins - he seemed quite willing to write the first few games off as getting rid of the rust etc. A professional team should be ready on match 1.

    And with that Simms chance....

    Simms and BTA are both good championship footballers. I don’t buy this “Simms would rip the division up if he put his mind to it” stuff. That’s the reason he hasn’t. Drive to bust a gut is just as important as ability. I actually think Asante has more potential and always puts it all in. Not to...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Good window for us if it slams shut now. Grimes obviously. But keeping Kitching and BTA will be important for us.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Would be a disaster if Eccles goes. Good experienced and proven championship midfielder. If we were trying to sign someone with that profile we’d be all for it. So why are we so casual about the possibility of him going

    Rudoni …?

    It’s a very simple game. We have a formation and players where we’ve won five in a row. Why change it

    Great win. Loving our new pragmatic style which is coinciding with clean sheets. Credit to BTA. He’s now doing what we hoped he would

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    The biggest difference in the last few windows is we’re not seemingly under pressure to sell. That’s huge if you’re trying to build something. It allows you to get good money for the likes of Gyokeres and Hamer and re-invest. It’s night and day to where we have been in the recent past.

    Why do we need the announcement. It’s obvious he’s signed

    Transfer Rumour BTA to Blackburn

    Wonder if there is any solid interest in Sheaf. Amazing how football changes purely on results. We’re now happy with BTA, Torp, Allen and Kitching!

    Rhys Carr leaves by Mutual Consent

    Can’t see there being any replacements. Lampard bought his own team. This is just getting rid of the duplication
