    Lampard to Southampton?

    I think the advantage we have and that Frank and Robins both need is a club that will give them time. So for Frank to move within a year of coming here it'd have to be a club that was committing him over a long term. We all know how rare that is at all levels of the game but particularly the...

    Lampard to Southampton?

    This is baseless of course, but I think Lampard needs to stick to a project for a while - any job he's offered is unlikely to give him the time, space & backing that we are. It would have to be a huge job for him to chance it - and remember he's done that before and I don't think his career...

    Wright

    I don't agree with people completely tearing him down and questioning his commitment etc - but I wouldn't say he was "not quite at the races" - the perfomances were really poor. I'm sure he'd admit the same to himself - he looked extremely frustrated with how it was going every time he failed to...

    Wright

    Agree. It's all history now but in hindsight if you're expecting Wright to be taking a pen if it gets to pens (which of course you do!) you probably don't want to start him in a lone striker system. In any other game / scenario, you'd have subbed him around 60-70 minutes I think. We could have...

    Wright

    Wright has been poor the last few games, no doubt. He almost looks like he is carrying an injury - which doesn't make a great deal of sense given how much he's been played and that we have BTA and Simms available. That makes me think it's just a really bad run of form and possibly psychological...

    Callum O'Hare

    He's a hard player to justify in the sense that his goals and assist stats have never been good. But I always felt for us where he shone was basically being a huge nuisance - he helped us win the ball high up the pitch and would often be the cause of a counter. Would win a lot of fouls (referee...

    Clive Eakin on CWR

    Despite teasing him a lot about getting players names wrong constantly, I'm gutted Clive is leaving. That feeling is heightened particularly since Rob returned with a very negative mindset. Each time he contributes during or after a match it's swayed heavily by the result regardless of the...

    Match Thread Hull City - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 14th Apr

    I think that Hull had a lot to do with that - they really didn't take the impetus which must have been frustrating for their fans to see. Frustrating game, but the performance was pretty good albeit against a poor and very accommodating opposition. A bit more conviction and luck from Simms and...

    Ellis simms

    I think Simms is a player who can develop both in terms of his application / confidence and also perhaps some of his tactics. I also think as a team we need to develop more patterns that involve playing him in centrally with the ball at his feet. It's not all on him. Like many players, he had a...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Stoke City Match Thread - Saturday 8th Mar

    I don't really understand it because if you total up all of those categories of ticket I listed its 33,784. I think what inflates that number is "corporates" - which are different tickets but occupy tickets in the stadium, so there's overlap there that increases the overall total. I'd like to...

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    We know it was loss making in the year the Frasers Group took it over and we also know they spent a bunch in that first year of acquisition. The details though are now all wrapped up and hidden in the group accounts, so we don't really know...

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    You would think Doug would immediately pay off the loan, look to acquire the stadium and invest enough in the squad to give a shot at survival and if not, an immediate bounceback. With ~30M (was it?) in debt to doug and whatever the price of the CBS would be... might not leave a great deal in...

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    Never once did I call it credible - I'm stating that having someone repeating what a lot of the fanbase think to someone who is more than capable of sticking to the facts of the accounts as he interprets them is actually a good thing. Maguire has "often been known to spin things to suit" -...
