    Retained List

    Liam Kelly has definitely earned a contract offer with the way he stepped up. Let’s be under no illusions that over a 46+ game season, he isn’t a player to take us to the next level. A one year extension to keep a leadership figure at the club is worthwhile, but if Kelly wants regular first...

    League One Playoff Final

    On today’s viewing, neither Barnsley or Sheffield Wednesday look ready to make the grade. Wednesday will have a bigger budget to make that transition but I doubt Moore has the managerial capability to be an effective Championship manager with the style of play. Ipswich ought to do the best of...

    The morning after the night that wasnt to be.

    Newcastle are watching Gyokeres yesterday… Hoping they’re willing to spend £25-30 million on him. It does seem most Prem teams have an interest in him, which bodes well for getting a deal on advantageous terms. If we genuinely hold out for £20+ million, it’ll show that this new regime is...

    Dude, we get it. Have a Kit Kat. Try to talk about about anyone but Dabo for a while!

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    It’s totally normal mate. After the World Cup I had a football sabbatical at a time I considered getting a half season ticket. I had a ticket to Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday today and I couldn’t be arsed to be honest. Had we won, I’d have been up first thing to get there and soak up the...

    Dabo released

    Honestly, it may sound controversial… but, players come and go. With Vik, there seems to be sufficient interest to drive up the asking price to let him leave on advantageous terms. As for Hamer, I’m worried we won’t get good value for him so can see a Kieran Westwood-type situation occurring...

    Dabo released

    Robins warned towards the end of the season there was going to be a churn of players summer before we made the playoffs. We have a lot of players out of contract, loanees heading back and our squad depth is poor. Kelly has performed well enough for a contract but it would not surprise me to...

    Transfer targets

    Their GK was not good at all. Soft goal and was not assured at set piece time. Anderson looks alright but not 100% sure he’s the profile of defender we want.

    Transfer targets

    I’d be happy with that. Hoping Cresswell is surplus to requirements for Leeds! Jerry Yates ought to be a decent addition if we’re serious about him. A few unearthed diamonds and squad players and we can consider it a (potentially) successful transfer window.

    On a positive note

    There’s plenty to be positive about. We’re a club on the up and a great destination for young players to progress their careers. That’ll give us good options from lower division players and talented loanees from the Prem. We’re about to free up a lot of wages with players being released and we...

    Championship thread 23/24

    If you’re a bookmaker, you’re looking at how many players are going back to their parent clubs and the uncertain futures of Hamer and Gyokeres. If we manage to keep both and add quality, we’re a completely different proposition. If we have to replace them, it’s looking very uncertain. I am...

    When it all calms down.

    If the disappointment manifests itself in toxic ways I.e. abuse of players, violence and/or anti-social behaviour. Then sure, I agree. If people get a bit upset/angry and need a vent, let them.

    When it all calms down.

    Agreed. We all deal with our emotions in different ways. My brother was sobbing and I didn’t think he was that bothered going into the game on Saturday. Some people want someone to blame, some people feel like it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity missed and so on. We’ll be back because I...

    How to spend 30 million pounds.

    Oddly optimistic for you Grendel. Why do you think that? He does seem to hold the club closer to heart than Gyokeres who has made it clear he wants to make the step up. Of Hamer and Gyokeres, Hamer has put himself in the shop window over April and the playoffs. POTM for April, scored 2 goals...

    When it all calms down.

    It feels shit we missed out on the biggest prize in football on penalties. But, if you believe in the process in what Robins is hoping to achieve here, it’s a bump in the road and an opportunity to kick on. Unlike a lot of playoff finalists, we’re going to increasing our spend on players and...

    Of Mice and Men

    Historical context is important and students need to be mindful of this and to be perfectly frank, the education system needs to expose students views and ideas that today we find abhorrent. Banning/censoring books or opinions is never a good idea.

    Signing Loanees Permanently

    Voted for McNally and Doyle. I could see BNC and JWE improving massively if we re-signed them. Gyokeres re-signing was a surprise and he ended up becoming our best player.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Gutted about the result yesterday! As many expected, there was very little between the teams and it’s no surprise it went down to penalties. Robins covered everything well - we ran out of squad and we’ve got to use this as fuel for next season. Big shout out to the SBA, my brother was sobbing...

    If we've got money to spend

    It’s quite likely we need to sell Vik and Hamer to fund the rebuild we’ve got for this summer. If I had to keep one of them, it’s got to Hamer as he’s really stepped up in the business end of the season. If we trust the process, I can’t see why we cannot build up over the next 2-3 seasons to...
