    Brown looks finished here. Hope he's ok. Not sure how we'd reshuffle the pack. Edit: Davies coming on. Who goes to LB?

    I listened to most of this, and obviously agree. The issue that banks have is that any security measure is only as strong as its weakest link, and unfortunately, that is people. When those people are vulnerable, and sadly are able to be manipulated with apparent ease due to health issues or...

    Real belief in this squad ...

    Yeah, see, I agree with you, but I don't (what a terrible sentence that was). I agree that mid-table is where we should be looking, but the noise from the club in the summer was about pushing for promotion again. That makes it really hard to judge what success looks like this time around.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Barnsley Match Thread - Saturday 15th Sep

    We've only beaten the bottom two teams. Based on that, I have to go with head rather than heart and say we'll get a bit of a thumping. Barnsley to win it 3 goals to zilch.

    Which is bizarre because he's barely had chance to kick a ball for us. It's almost like people want him to fail.

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    I’ve got a bedroom that needs painting but I fear based on his current work rate it wouldnt get completed this side of xmas! He's tall enough to paint the celing without a ladder though.

    We need to play a consistent game for 90 minutes, not 45. That was our achilles heel for most of last season too. Still, defensively we're ok. We might scrape a point or two even if we don't improve tbf.

    JCH

    Like him or not, JCH was instrumental in getting the wheels back on the track last season. Why do we persist in knocking our own players? If they play well we say it's an aberration, if they have a bad game we say 'told you he was a waste of space'. Nothing wrong with being critical, but we...

    Good win. Poor first half, good second half. Kept it on the floor a bit more after the break.

    When we get the ball near the back, there's literally one player (JCH) to play it forward too, so we resort to lumping it up just to relieve the pressure. It's so one dimensional.

    I played with a bloke of the same age when I was in my early twenties, and he used to slather deep heat on his fingers, then wipe it in the defenders' eyes at corners. Was truly a footballing education.

    Attendances dropping

    I'm not so sure it is a myth tbh. I live on the outskirts of Coventry, and I probably know 10x the number of people who support Man Utd or Liverpool compared to the City. I get family allegiances come into play, but Mancs and Liverpudlians can't be responsible for the level of procreation...
