    Transfer Rumour Apparently close to signing 2 players

    Willis is one of those players we take for granted a bit. Would be a shame to break up a good partnership at the back, but with Tom Davies looking like he should be a regular starter (he is dominant in the air for a start) plus Dom Hyam doing pretty well when called upon, cashing in on him would...

    Biamou

    Agreed. We need to keep getting the ball to his feet to get the best out of him. If he avoids injury I think he will score at least a dozen more goals for us this season.

    Biamou

    We love to criticise our own players on here! I don't Biamou is a waste of space at all, however I would not have him as a starter after the Jan transfer window. McNulty is showing signs of repaying Robin's faith in him: he is good at getting in snap shots after turning quickly. He could easily...

    FA Cup Draw - Tonight - 7PM

    Forest Green Rovers away is what I'd like - such a strange (but lovely) setting for a league ground.

    Match Thread Walsall - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 3rd Oct

    Exactly the side I'd go for, though Robins might give McNulty a run out to build his fitness again... Is Nazon ineligible for this /has he already joined his team on international duty?

    Any news on Stokes injury? I'd drop Devon KE to bench, move Duke out wide and bring McNulty back in for this one.

    Match Thread Cambridge United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 16th Sep

    100% agree. Davies is going to be very useful this year against teams who lump it up to the big men up front. Willis should not be an automatic starter in my book. If opposition has a pacy striker, he should play though.

    Brighten up

    I find some match ratings of our players on here a bit extreme at times... I think a lot of frustration stems from the fact that we are average (W2 D1 L2) at the moment, but we have the potential to be a lot better than that. Positives from yesterday: Lee Burge saved a free kick brilliantly...

    Late goals

    Though I wouldn't have picked McNulty yesterday, he deserves credit for not hiding when things are not going his way... Yes, he is missing relatively easy chances, but he is not shirking responsibility. Having been a striker who must have gone through tough spells himself, Robins seems to...

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Am in disbelief about some fans see him as a 'messiah' ... I am not disputing that he is a committed player with a lot of technical ability for L2, but he is well past his best now. I suspect Kenny Jackett moved him into the middle because he was not providing as much of a threat down the...

    Matchday experience

    Sadly, I'm with you on that one... I find the experience of going to the Ricoh mind-numbing (especially waiting for a bus back to the centre afterwards by Tesco) I definitely prefer away days by a country mile.

    Losing the desire to follow

    Looking back at the thread titIe, I made a conscious decision to join a country walking group 3 years ago and to concentrate on going on walks on Saturdays rather than watch City / listen at home.

    No More Signings

    Agree, great post. Yeovil panicked on a few occasions when the Duck just ran at them (was cynically hacked down from behind for a well deserved yellow at one point) and we saw what he can do briefly in the first game. A free role would be ideal for him and it would create space for others. Spot...

    Thoughts on today

    In a way it's good that we have the cup game to maybe experiment a little. Agree that the Duck could be an option up front if Kwame is unavailable. He is strong, but not sure how good he is in the air... Not too despondent this morning: we have got options in our squad to change things around a...
