    Coventry City's patient progress

    Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I definitely won't become that supporter, I assure you! I'm delighted we're up but the Championship as a spectacle is vastly superior so I'm looking forward to watching it next year. It's going to be extremely competitive.

    Coventry City's patient progress

    Cheers mate Yep, the foundations are certainly stronger than they were. There's no longer such a wild variation in quality between the best players and the weakest ones. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Coventry City's patient progress

    Hi folks Thanks for the positive comments on my last piece in January. For those who didn't see it I'm an Ipswich Town fan who writes a blog about the EFL. Just popping on here as I've written another piece about Coventry and how I think this season the club put in some really solid...

    The no loans strategy

    It's admirable to want to produce your own players but given the financial disadvantage of non-parachute clubs ignoring loans is self-defeating. Even the relegated teams use them; Leeds with Rodon and Roberts, Southampton with Downes and Harwood-Bellis, Leicester with Fatawu. The sweet spot is...

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    Yeah probably have to make Southampton favourites at this point but purely in terms of business I think we’ve improved the most. Being without Sheaf will be tough. It’s quite a favourable fixture run for the next few weeks though and none of the other playoff contenders seem capable of...

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    Glad to see Mason Clark move to Coventry, as per my suggestion! Maybe a bit frustrating he hasn’t joined straight away but it would’ve been difficult to prize him away from Peterborough in the middle of the promotion hunt. As for my own team, I’m very happy with our window too. Given the...

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    Cheers From an outside perspective, I think the fact Godden has lasted so long at Championship level is testament to Robins. Similarly with Wilson, nobody would have expected him to win the golden glove a few years back. With both players it's not much of a surprise they've dropped off a bit...

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    Cheers. The striker market is going to be just as tough as it was in the summer - we’ll be after two and I can think of half the league who will be wanting one. They’ll all be going for similar targets and with the gap between 6th and 15th so small, these players will have a lot of interesting...

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    Fingers crossed. We’ve got a big January ahead, I’ve written a similar article about out targets which will be released soon. Thank you. Wright’s definitely improved, just think having a different type of player as an option there would be handy.

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    Thanks. I put us 13th in my pre-season predictions, for a few reasons. We switched our style of play towards the end of last season but I wasn’t sure how well we’d be able to sustain defensive pressure a level higher. There was also a bit of doubt as to whether George Hirst would step up after...

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    Hello I'm an Ipswich Town fan who writes about the EFL. Ahead of the January window, I'm doing a 'squad surgery' series where I suggest transfer targets for a given team. I've written one about Coventry which I've shared below. Let me know what you think. Do you like the targets I've picked or...
