    Dropped his wallet onto his foot when out on the piss Friday night causing severe bruising. Should be fit for Saturday.

    Does the new formation change January targets?

    Too many people seem to be reading too much into everything. Robins seems to have a habit of holding back new players. Look at last season. We had strikers nit getting much game time and Godden as our main striker. But as the season progressed our new strikers came in and proved the doubters...

    Does the new formation change January targets?

    Is it? Where do the wingers fit into a 433? 1 on each side and 1 in the middle? Do we have WB's leaving just 2 CB's to defend? Or was MVE an oversight that Robins planned not to use this season? Instead of just stating things as fact can you please explain your reasoning so we can understand...

    Does the new formation change January targets?

    Wright isn't a winger. But last season he clicked when cutting in from the right. This season he is looking very good in the middle. Now the other players are being changed between WB's and wingers. EMC looked good running at the defence. Just like he did for his last club. Rudoni? Starting to...

    Does the new formation change January targets?

    So how do you know what formation the players were brought in for? Last season we had a new squad. The players had to learn the system Robins wanted. This was on top of fitness levels and ended up lack of confidence in a few. You're welcome to your thoughts. But all they are is guesstimating...

    Does the new formation change January targets?

    Would you prefer a manager that keeps doing the same thing expecting results to suddenly change? Robins has to put the best side out with the players available and fit enough. Sometimes it means playing different systems. Just like when coming against a side with mainly big players. Football...

    Does the new formation change January targets?

    When and by whom did you get this information? Sheaf being unavailable and then getting up to speed has been our biggest problem so far. He is one of the players the team is built around. His return to fitness has coincided with our turnaround. Do you know of the targets missed out on?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Derby County Match Thread - Wednesday 6th Nov

    Nothing wrong with an opinion put politely 👍 It can go both ways. Put out what we consider the best side against Derby. Not easy when we can't decide between ourselves what that is. Game doesn't go to plan and we lose after everyone gives it their all. We would be left with jaded players or...

    Derby at home Wednesday night then less than 3 days later the long journey up to Sunderland. I'd rest any players we can against Derby. Have them on the bench just in case we need them. We need a full strength side more against Sunderland than Derby. And we have more than capable replacements.

    Maybe because they couldn't have been worse than when they had 11 on the pitch.

    It's a marathon not a sprint. If we can keep playing like this there's no reason why we shouldn't finish in the top 6.

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Nov

    Strangest game I have seen for a long time. In control until they had a player sent off. The gamesmanship from Middlesbrough was a disgrace. Think it worked for them though as our players seemed to get too worried on getting close to theirs. The ref should have given a yellow card for constantly...

    Sometimes people at our club just can't win with some people. They are trying to bring in players to improve us. You can't force players to join us. But if they would have brought someone in to make the numbers up the same people complaining about lack of signings would be complaining about...

    Viktor Moving on

    €100m with money coming our way. Manchester United will have to pay compensation of €10m to get a manager with 18 months left of his contract. The same manager that had talks behind his clubs back when talking to West Ham. He lost interest then because they wouldn't back his signings...
