It's not just the medical recovery, it's the mental one too. Physically he could be ready to go in 6 months, but if he's not mentally recovered and has absolute confidence in the strength of the knee then he could be hesitant under pressure. Better to provide cover for the whole season and...

Assuming it is an ACL and 9 months recovery it might be a better idea to go for a good keeper on loan (assuming there is one available). Gives Dovin time to fully recover without being rushed back.

Updated 10/03/25 Coventry City 56 pts / 36 games: Derby (A), Sunderland (H), Sheff Utd (A), Burnley (H), Portsmouth (H), Hull (A), West Brom (H), Plymouth (A), Luton (A), Middlesbrough (H). West Brom 55 pts / 36 games: Burnley (A), Hull (H), Norwich (A), Sunderland (H), Bristol City (A)...

If this actually happens all the Cheltenham fans should be worried. SISU's plan for owning us was to put a few quid in the pot, get promoted, use the money to buy the stadium and then flip us for a significant profit. Once we didn't get promoted it all fell apart.

Are you being serious? This is not just a young players career but his life afterwards that could be affected. What happens to our play off chances for this season are quite frankly lower down the priority list than Jacks health. Whatever treatment and associated recovery time is required...

You are working on the assumption that it is a case of either Wright or EMC. Do you not think Frank will try to fit both in? Potentially with Wright playing through the middle?

Let me start this by saying that I think he is one of our best players, his record since being here backs that up. If I were listing my first 11 (assuming everyone is fully fit) he'd be in it, so would Sheaf for that matter. My question is more about unsettling a winning team. I just wonder if...

I think it is fair to say that we are firmly in contention for a play-off spot, I didn’t believe it a few games ago but here we are. I say that with trepidation though because as we all know being a Coventry City fan is anything but easy. The league this season is really condensed with the...

I think O'hare also had something to do with the improved form of Sakamoto and Milan last season. When he drifted over towards the right they created triangles with lots of movement.

People say he's great to have around the training ground and dressing room but that's not enough of a reason to sign him as we're getting the benefit of that right now for free. Surely we should only sign him if he would improve the match day squad and actually help us. Personally I think it...

So pre-transfer window we weren't in a great place. Our form was up and down with some suggesting that we needed major changes. Fast forward to the end of the window our form is now very good, we have brought in 1 player who by all metrics should be a good player for us, a couple of our...

I think the more relevant question is whether we need to sell or not. Lets assume the club has been able to fund the signing of Grimes without the need for anyone being sold then I think it's worth keeping BTA. If the signing of Grimes means someone need to go out then based on the ones there...

Based on that highlight reel he's got a cracking left foot. Bassette, Simms the wingers and MVE should be licking their lips if they are watching that.

It will be interesting to see what sort of fee it's for. According to Transfermarkt.co.uk Grimes value is around €6 million which works out just over £5 million. To give some perspective the same site has Rudoni at the same €6 million with Sheaf and Eccles at €7 million each. Grimes is rumored...

Several goals this year have come from Milan being up field, us losing the ball (not Milan himself I stress) and him not being able to get back. That being said there have also been plenty of times that he has worked his socks off to get back and either made a good challenge or delayed the...

In terms of his effort and attitude he is good as a captain, but he is not vocal enough. A captain needs to be the one organising the team, speaking to the ref and pointing things out, not standing there mute.

Other clubs can set an expectation that their players will get game time when they send them out on loan. Why don't we?

I'm sure I have seen somewhere that we are / have recalled Jack Burroughs and Ryan Howley from their loans up in Scotland. Do we think this will be for Lampard to assess them for himself and support the first team squad? If he's keeping them at Ryton could this be in place of actual signings?

I'm not saying Robins didn't sign anyone. More suggesting that others may have also brought in people that weren't on his list so to speak.

I've wondered for a while now how many of the incoming players over the past few years were actually targets of MR. Players that he identified as fitting his system and that he wanted to recruit. Obviously Ady had the Chelsea link so Collins, JDS, Palmer and Dabo were known quantities to Ady...
