    Match Thread Coventry City at Blackpool Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Aug

    I know it's early days, but we haven't seen much positivity on the pitch so far this season. I'm sure it will come, but it can be hard to remain positive when this slop is served up.

    Easy to forget that Sterling and Mason haven't played any first team football until this season, barring one or two appearances for Mason off the bench at Watford. Yet despite that inexperience, they've been part of 2 clean sheets out of 3 in the league.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Plymouth Argyle Match Thread - Saturday 18th Aug

    I'm expecting a dull 0-0 today. Although to be fair, I expect a dull 0-0 every game.

    Nick, out of interest, why does it take me to an error / log-in page whenever I click these links? I can't remember my sign-in details, so regardless of the betting, I'm kinda screwed if I ever get logged out!

    Match Thread Coventry City at Oxford United Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Aug

    This forum seems to attract people with extreme opinions. We're either amazingly good or absolute plop, and there's no inbetween. We've played 2 league games, and could (maybe should) have won the first, and did well to get a point in the second. It's not like we've lost 4-0 two games in a row.

    The system we have played

    I listened to the interview with Viveash, and he said that Robins isn't as comfortable with 4231 as he is. Maybe the performances so far reflect that. Give it a few games, then if there's no improvement, change it up. We can't give up so easily, or things will never change.

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Wait until the end of the season before you say you'd swap. You never know, we might end up doing ok. Edit: I'd rather have 6 points too btw.

    Premier league- CCFC

    We won't break the transfer fee record in my lifetime. Football will have imploded before we get chance. The financial side is unsustainable in the long term at the current levels.

    Yeah, I thought we'd got away with one at the time, and the replay doesn't change my mind.

    There was too much hoofball at times. Like some of the young uns were afraid to lose possession and just thwacked it upfield instead. Hopefully their confidence will increase and we'll start keeping it on the floor a bit more over the coming weeks.

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    I laughed very loudly in a very public place at that tweet. Now I feel incredibly self-conscious. Thanks.

    Quite ruff I'd imagine. Edit: the real answer is that even without a nose, as long as the dog still has receptor neurons it should be able to detect scents.

    Paddy Madden

    To be fair, it's the midfield alone pushing this up. Doyke 37, Vincenti 32, Agogo 28, Andreu 30, Kelly 28. Take them out, and it's probably closer to 22. Edit: I like Doyke. I'm not changing it.

    24.0 according to the interweb.

    I'd say Burge is okay for our current level. Not brilliant, not pants. I imagine he'll only be replaced if and when we step up to the Championship, barring a transfer or serious injury.

    City players’ names we can’t pronounce

    Is Wegerle pronounced as Wegg -er- lee or Wegg - earl? I've heard some American commentators use the latter, but that just sounds fricking weird to me.

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    I wonder if Hywula will be the striker and Bakayoko will play on the left of the attacking three midfielders. The youtube clips hint that he plays quite wide at times.

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    I think he's saying that Barry Manilow sang a song called I write the songs, but he didn't actually write it.

    1 in 4 forwards

    I get what you're saying about age. Not sure what the average age of a modern-day squad is. 25 perhaps? Baimou is inexperienced rather than young, Willis is young but experienced. Age is a factor, but experience is probably a bigger part of the puzzle. And no doubt about it, we don't have many...
