    He’s a wonderful player to watch, one of my favourites in the entire league.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    We had one player filling in out of position out wide and I think everyone agrees we will strengthen there next month. Otherwise I don’t really see this supposed weakness, all the players we had deputising for injured starters were all very capable and experienced options? Very few squads are...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I mean, you’ve said it can be upsetting if people get too specific about this stuff. But if you want to lecture people about using NHS resources then crack on!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Thanks for the advice. I’m willing to bet I’ve been less of a burden on the NHS than you have but keep the input coming.

    Huh? Sorry for calling our GP I guess?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My wife had questions about an X-ray she’d had after her GP referred her to have an additional scan, without saying why. Rang up the medical centre to be told the GP was unavailable and the next appointment wouldn’t be for another week. The receptionist cheerfully told us that if we really...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well you tell me - it’s you who said most instead of all. I think most people on here will have stories about being encouraged to visit A&E when they’ve tried to see a GP. Happened to us as recently as this week.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    I’ve already said I want us to sign at least one player? There’s no ‘opportunity’ about it, we have already staked the league’s best claim for automatic promotion, and that’s because our squad is very good as it is.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Well no, I can’t imagine someone who’s spent most of their playing and managerial career at Chelsea does feel that comfortable with this size of squad. Welcome to Coventry!

    Why only most?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    On the other hand, there is an argument that people’s reluctance to seek healthcare is even more damaging, and we already have evidence of this costing the taxpayer https://www.health.org.uk/features-and-opinion/blogs/why-charging-for-health-care-isn-t-a-credible-fix-for-our-nhs-crisis It seems...

    World Cup 2026

    Our projected run to the final apparently would be: Second round - Norway Round of 16 - Mexico QF - Brazil SF - Argentina Final - Spain Fair to say I do not fancy that at all

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    I’ve no idea if Manneh is any good, but on paper he’s the kind of signing we should be making this window. Young enough that they’re not expecting to come in right away and play every week, but able to come on and make a difference, and with the ceiling of a future PL player/Championship star...

    In what sense have we been “lucky until now” with injuries this season?

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    If the likelihood of you playing in a different division next season is >90% than you’d be a fool not to factor it into your transfer business. Stacking the squad with Championship-quality depth pieces that would then become unwanted dead weight six months later would be terrible business and...

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    This place completely loses its head after a defeat. We are nine points clear of third with almost half the season gone, that’s because our squad is already very good. The idea that we can forget about promotion unless the squad grows by >20% is delusional.

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    I would be a lot more concerned if Josh Eccles hadn’t been playing consistently well. How much does a better player than Eccles cost and how do you persuade them to play a backup role for most of the season? If JDS gets injured we have Bidwell and Brau - we are not going to sign a fourth LB in...

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    I don’t think we need to sign a new player just in case Victor Torp gets sick and I don’t see any urgency to take Dasilva out of the side either.

    Who are you dropping to accommodate these players? And are they all sticking around next season in the PL?
