    Who else do we need

    In midfield yes. Defensively I don't think we're that short. By no means absolute giants but big enough. GK/D 6'4'' Marosi 6'3 6'2'' Hyam, Pask 6'1'' Fadz, Wilson 6' Rose, Dacosta 5'11 Dabo 5'10 5' 9 5'8 Mason M 6'2'' Kelly, Burroughs 6'1'' Kasta 6' Shipley, Eccles 5'11 Allen (?), Westbrooke...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Surely the response should've been I can't believe it's not Bairstow?

    I get that but the difference is that some clubs can afford a decent first team but can't afford or convince decent players to join to be a squad/bench player. The really big teams can afford and convince better players to do so and the drop off in quality to their bench is less pronounced. So...

    For me main concern is if it increases the breaks in play. Loses all flow and momentum and football doesn't suit a stop/start game. I can see the TV people wanting the drink break more than anything else because it's another chance for ads, hence chance for more revenue and the powers that be...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Would be great if there is something that does work, or at least massively reduces the likelihood of fatality. At the moment I'm still quite concerned about the colder months not just because the conditons might favour the virus but also the usual flu/colds etc that spread at that time and the...

    Most opposition defences I think.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I've said before it would be good if parliament was more like the 'courts' of medieval times and travelled around. Take the MP's out of that London bubble and see what happens elsewhere. Best way to regenerate a region is to make the people in charge of the purse strings move there - soon happy...

    Coventry city Squad 20/21 So far

    I reckon it was more along the lines of thinking beyond the end of the season when he knew McCallum wouldn't be here and effectively bringing him in on an extended trial. MR must have liked him/had good reports on him to do that and maybe he didn't impress as much as hoped. Him and McCallum were...

    Left back

    We definitely signed Neil Wood permanently. He was here for two seasons and no way would we have loaned him back for a second year.

    Coventry city Squad 20/21 So far

    As has been said Giles has gone back. Mason is currently first choice and only other option is 19yo Joe Newton. So as it stands even if we bring a LWB in Mason is still important in the squad as back-up

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It is indeed. Doesn't reflect well on Johnson. Attempt to coerce Lewis into toeing the line?

    As it stands

    I agree. Those two towards the end of a match could be a nightmare for opposition defences. Far more likely to see one replacing the other I think though. Can't see MR picking two direct running ACM's that will either run rings round the defence or lose the ball each time together.

    As it stands

    For me Westbrooke is more of the back-up to Allen. Not got that tenacity for the DCM role. I guess ATM Eccles is that back-up. Jones I think is also more like a back-up for O'Hare with direct running, but can be utilised out wide in a different formation. But I think it shows that the...

    Who else do we need

    I think maybe he means 'free to leave' as in we're not going to negotiate further and won't stand in his way if another club makes an offer for him? Also more likely with O'Hare coming in and with Allen, Shipley probably ahead of him in the pecking order and people like Jones and Jobello (Kasta...

    Jonny Depp

    Why is everything so surreal these days? TBH the two of them are coming across really badly - like spoilt children and doing nothing for those with the opinions that those in the arts are little more than precious, ego driven fragile individuals unable to take criticism.

    It does increase the possibility of making it that some players are 'designed' to last 60 mins or as a impact sub for 20 mins and their effort and workrate is based on that. So if a player then has to go beyond that but their training isn't designed for it could make the risk of injury or...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    As for the Gove thing - it seems weird to say they're excluding offices etc because of his failure to wear a mask. It's not come into force yet anyway. Of course it'd be good to see the govt set an example but to exempt places because what ministers have done before anything is actually in force...
