    Match Thread Coventry City v Oxford United - FA CUP 3RD ROUND - 6th January 12:30

    Not neccessarily the best example for those wanting us to put our strongest team out, given their current injury situation. Given our squad looks much stronger this year I'm all for resting up most of our regulars following the intense run of games we've just had. We should still have enough to...

    Transfer targets

    That's interesting as they were one of the clubs I thought might make a move for O'Hare.

    Rooney is fired up for Friday night

    He would be a better choice than whoever they probably end up with!

    Rooney is fired up for Friday night

    I'd have thought they might try to tempt Carsley from the England set up.

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Dec

    They will probably fall out of automatics, but will still finish in the play offs, as even relegation form between now and the end of the season will see them remain in the top 6. Might be ideal opposition in the play offs though if their form does continue to slide.

    Seeing out games

    Part of the problem in trying to kill a game that we are winning is that we stop trying to play the way which has successfully got us ahead in the match. Defending deeper and inviting on pressure, wasting time and playing for the corners when attacking are often counter productive. The best...

    I think the priority points scheme should be rejigged for cup games to encourage more support for a game like this Oxford match, whereby anyone attending the Oxford match and any subsequent cup matches should earn separate priority points to those earned in the league, and therefore be placed...

    Transfer targets

    Given, that Hamer wasn't playing against us I have no problem ith fans chanting his name if he is in attendance, anymore than if it were Dublin, Hutchison, Gyokores or any other ex player who had served us well. If it was a match where he was playing against us, then that is clearly another matter.

    Transfer Rumour Confirmed - Bradley Collins

    The Championship keeper that has always impressed me is Johansson at Rotherham, probably because he has a lot to do!

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Grimes is a decent player, but not dynamic enough for me. If he was brought in as Hamer's replacement and the fans judged him as such, I think his goal scoring output would disappoint many.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    The same Matt Grimes that has scored a total of 6 goals in the last 6 Championship seasons? An average of a goal a season does not provide a like for like Hamer replacement!

    Simms

    Need to see it back again but thought Simms was onside at the time, but it did seem an uneccessary risk to take. I remember in our first season after relegation from the PL, Lee Hughes did likewise tapping in a goalbound effort from Chippo which got chalked off for offside, that would have put...

    Transfer targets

    I think Al Hammadi is a much better long term prospect than Langstaff, if we are looking at prospects from League 2.

    Average away followings

    Watching the EFL highlights show I was a little surprised by the away end spaces on Boxing Day for Bristol City, Norwich & QPR, so the low support at Middlesbrough on New Years Day shouldn't be viewed as particularly poor. I don't imagine too many people are keen on such a long drive after a...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 29th Dec

    I hope you're right but being 3-0 up with 15 minutes to go last season was also a pretty good opportunity 😧

    Transfer targets

    I think O'Hare's positive influence is such that he does deserve to be the highest earner at the club, but whether that's enough to keep him goodness knows. Knowing that his contract up at the end of the season, I can't see any offer in January higher than £1m. If that is the case in my opinion...

    Super league nonsense

    If any English teams want to sign up for this or any other version of it, then it should be made clear that in doing so they will also effectively resign their position in the PL. If the 6 'big' clubs want to do that it won't take long for a new pecking order to grow in English football without...

    Transfer targets

    Lewis O'Brien and John Swift were the rumoured targets, although not sure either would have been an out and out replacement in terms of playing style.

    Transfer Rumour Godden off to Derby?

    Maybe a league lower but I can see why a move to Derby would be more attractive than one to say Huddersfield or Rotherham.
