    Our midfield - do we have problems?

    There were 3 points between 6th and 10th last season, and then a further 4 points to 13th. Sneaking into the playoffs is effectively just a question of being the best of the "upper mid table" teams and/or having a touch more luck than the others.

    Safe standing consultation

    The problem there is that on another thread sight lines were discussed. If 30 is safe standing, a lot of the seating in 31 would have to go. The most practical safe standing is in and around a corner, unless you are going to make a whole end safe standing (which i very much doubt). So yes, I...

    Safe standing consultation

    If the club are going to invest in safe standing in the current corner for the fans who want it, I can't imagine their intention is for those very fans to move down the other end to stand in one of the seated areas next to the away fans. They'd be exactly back to square one from a safety /...

    Safe standing consultation

    Enabling the South Stand to become the home end, with the away fans looking into the sun? I'd be all for that.

    Ratings v watford

    Who are these others making all the goals and assists? The whole burden of attacking creativity fell on Palmer today, and he did a great job.

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    He gets it up and down over the wall really well. Going to be a big threat from free kicks closer to the penalty area I hope.

    A big concern last year was that we had no successor to Fadz, who was basically playing alongside a few young loanees. We’ve now got three permanent centre backs in (Thomas, Lati, Kitching) all of whom have the potential to be leaders in the not too distant future. That’s a massive step...

    I did think that some of your posts were a bit weird. Mind you, I couldn't give you the name of a single TS song 😂

    No, we started at 2.5m or something like that. You're suggesting endlessly splitting the difference until we basically give them what they want. £4m is already going beyond the middle ground.

    “You just can’t get medicals. It’s just ridiculous. However much you plan for some medicals to be done, they have to be done at certain times. We don’t own a scanning machine and there’s a real backlog in the NHS, and even privately the use of them is unbelievable, so we have all of those...

    It would seem crazy if on deadline day (which has been known for months) we have to abandon deals because there isn't time for travelling or medicals. And although Robins mentioned an NHS backlog for scanning machines, I don't think it should be down to the NHS to provide facilities just so...

    From that it sounds as though our targets are now restricted to the domestic market, mainly because of limited availability of slots for medicals :( Asked if he’s still looking in the European market as well as domestic market today, he revealed: “We look everywhere but I think today the...

    Some people seem to keep overlooking the fact that we have got Ayari in. He looks capable of a number of different midfield roles to me.

    Quiz : First and Lasts of Coventry City

    Yes so as I thought, it was Burnley away, then Forest away, before the first home game against Sheffield Utd.

    It would be a bit frustrating, but I presume you wouldn't want the club to be taken for a ride and pay over the odds, or alternatively sign someone who wasn't near the top of our list?

    Just play Moore as a box- to-box midfielder then. Problem solved.

    Quiz : First and Lasts of Coventry City

    Thinking about this (and I still haven't looked anything up) surely our first top flight game was a 2-1 defeat at Burnley where our goal was an own goal? If so, the Forest match where Curtis broke his leg was only the second match anyway.
