    Torp X factor

    Really hoping he stays fit as I think he'll have an incredible season. He's got everything Will need to rotate with Eccles during 3-game weeks as he does tend to tire & the whole team looks worse

    Lampard to West Ham

    No Prem team is going for Frank unless we're promoted & even then they'll see how he goes The gap between the PL & Champ is getting wider coaching-wise due to the money/status of the league. Villa got Emery & Palace got Glasner while sat in the relegation zone - 10 years ago that would have...

    Who’d be an owner.

    A few things: - Don't think this is an Austin problem. His role was described at the fans forum as a service providing a list of options in each position. The manager then picks the players & Doug negotiates - Doug seems to drive a hard bargain & will only pull the trigger if he sees a lot of...

    Transfer Rumour Miguel Ángel Brau

    Took Torp 18 months. I'd imagine it will be similar with Brau

    Championship thread 25/26!

    People are being hasty about how open it will be I think it'll be Southampton & Ipswich top 2 despite their starts - both have stuttered but I see it similar to Leeds 2 years ago where they started terribly due to flux of the transfer market but still managed to finish on 90+ points Leicester...

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    If the (winger) Rak-Sakyi rumour was true it could be that Palace's failed move for Solomon meant that we couldn't get it done

    Best of Both Worlds - Hannah Montana 2006

    We rode our luck in 2 of the 3 away games playing 5-3-2 (Blackburn / Sheff W). Dovin played amazingly during that run too We also played it against Norwich, which was probably our best away performance playing a 5 but we fucked it right at the end

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Fucking hell, we shat the bed for the first 1/3 of last season and still made the play-offs. We'll be fine

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    It has been a pretty average window assuming only Woolf joins - but we're stronger than last year GK: Collins -> Rushworth RB: Lati -> KKH CB: Binks -> Woolf LB: Bidwell -> Brau That's 4 positions where our options are better than last season. Only 1 position is weaker (CM). That and the need...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The BBC Wales reporter linked us with Jesurun Rak-Sakyi - the winger who played on loan at Sheff U last season

    Did you know Coventry are embracing a Red Bull-style vertical intent?

    Can see the flaw in this right away tho as Sheff U were viewed as the hardest team to face when in reality they’ve been shite

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    In the recruitment team at Liverpool they talk about “unicorn” footballers - those who are worth paying above your spending brackets as they drastically improve your team - e.g. Alisson & van Dijk We clearly see Hughes in a similar mould & probably agree with Hull that he’ll likely be worth...

    Did you know Coventry are embracing a Red Bull-style vertical intent?

    According to this Darren Moore is the Sheff W manager 😂

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Boro, Norwich, WBA, and Millwall all losing a key player to a parachute team - good for play-off hopes but bad for already slim autos hopes

    Match Thread Oxford Utd vs Coventry City Saturday 30th August 3pm KO

    Apparently they played well defensively against Birmingham (compared to their previous 2 games) but made the game a turgid affair and couldn't get back into it once behind We should win but can see a 1-0 loss from a set-piece goal

    We cannot defend set pieces

    Miss the days when we had Lawrence - never felt the opposition were going to score a corner Last night I turned to my mate and said "they'll score here" just before the second. Was predictable after we'd had sustained pressure The good news is that it is an area that you can sort out fairly...

    Millwall cup tickets

    I don't know how but they definitely need to sort it out. Know a few London-based fans who wanted to go but couldn't get one Another problem is that because people were going at people for selling tickets, some probably didn't even bother to shift theirs

    Thomas Asante

    Yep Rudoni consistently gave him a short pass option so he could move the ball on, which is what he needs. Beforehand he had nobody to pass to and kept losing it

    Match Thread Millwall - Coventry City [LC] Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Aug

    - KKH was bad but also was given a tough job. BTA comes inside and Andrews didn't get over to support him going forward so he was isolated. Got better once Rudoni was supporting him. Also thought their LW was good (tho final ball was rubbish) but he did get done more than you'd want - 2 goals...
