    Match Thread Portsmouth FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Oct

    Great result at a difficult place to go. Shame about the clean sheet but will take a win there over that all day long. Excellent performances from BTA and Simms. Felt we lost our shape a little after JDS went off. Don't want to be critical though as that was a really good performance. What a team.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 18th Oct

    Tough game yesterday, Blackburn definitely came with a game plan. They stopped us being able to engage the crowd which i'm sure their manager would have wanted. They man marked Grimes out of the game in the first half. Without him being able to come deep to collect and control, we were forced to...

    I don't think last seasons result here will affect them, but i hope they use it to go into this one wanting nothing less than a win. That needs to be our mindset now going forward, if we want to be a top team. So far this season, it seems as though that's exactly what is on their minds, the...

    Brilliant to be going into the international break in this position. A chance to get players rested and recovered from injuries. The switch of play and movement from everyone involved in that 4th goal was so good. What a finish from Tats who i thought had a good game. What i love about us is...

    Yeah 100% leant into it, think the ref felt sorry for them.

    Slightly out of rhythm, to be expected with a few tired legs out there but who cares. Sign of a good team if you can grind out these results when not playing at your very best. Would love to see KKH against these, they are giving us so much space out wide. I'll take that offside goal after...

    Simms and Assante

    Yeah exactly this! Said a few times on here but all of our strikers last season struggled in that loan role due to the lack of direct play, constant checking back and playing sideways. The direct play this season has been a welcome sight, really enjoying watching us at the moment. Add in the...

    Simms and Assante

    Yeah hopefully they're on top of things and we'll see a couple come in for that important push second half of the season. It's a shame to see some already picking up knocks but always to be expected, especially with the intensity we now seem to playing with. The way i try to look at it is, we...

    Simms and Assante

    Yeah, i've just seen Lampard again has commented on the depth, so i'm guessing they have had their chats and he will have made it clear what he needs. Hopefully DK will do whatever needs to be done, it's reasonable to say he has given him the backing so far, okay a couple of moves haven't made...

    Simms and Assante

    Yeah totally agree, i guess a lot will ride on Rudoni, but also on where we are in the league. If we are still up there and pushing, you would hope that would encourage what needs to be done. I think DK knows what we need and he will want to see us pushing for promotion just as much as we do...

    Hopefully that's something they can get sorted, i don't know anything about how close that is.

    Rudi?

    Yeah i thought i'd heard that somewhere.

    Simms and Assante

    Did Rak-Sakyi end up going on loan somewhere? Haven't heard anything about the severity of Rudi's shoulder injury, only that he was playing with it heavily strapped every game. We were saying last game that it seems as though he may go down a similar road to Bellingham who ended up having to...

    Simms and Assante

    I asked him when we played Brum, he said they had already had agent contact about a winger, no other whispers yet.

    Simms and Assante

    Yeah credit to both of them, Eccles too who played with a knee problem for a while. The start to the season will help massively as the confidence of the whole team is up. Long may it continue, a welcome addition or two in January and there may be less panicking about depth + squad capability.

    Simms and Assante

    One thing to say about both of them, is that they both look a lot fitter. Simms had a recurring problem with the bone in his toe last season, a very similar injury to that of EMC, which started very early on in the season. He played with injections when Wright was out and i don't believe he was...

    Brilliant result again. Some tired legs out there tonight but so impressed with the work rate right till the final whistle yet again. Not our best game but this is what teams high in confidence manage to do, pull out results. Grimes was stand out for me, as always, absolutely everywhere...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Sep

    With 2 of our best players out, i thought that was an excellent performance today. The off the ball work was brilliant, from the starters to every sub. I think Josh Eccles was really good today, considering his lack of game time, his effort and energy was infectious. Wright worked really hard...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    No, i haven't heard anything about something being well progressed. Just my own opinion based on chatter. I think that it would be a natural progression for us though, given the way we are constantly improving on everything, the coaching staff, buying the ground, building a squad on long...
