Apparently not, we just struggle putting away our chances. Maybe it's all just Luke Thomas..

Not sure if this is anywhere else but there's also this graph. The analyst writes 'Coventry City have the highest under performance in the league. Over 13 goals below the chance quality they create. If they find a way to regress to that number they could pop in 2nd half of season'

Sky Sports also reporting that Chelsea willing to pay £50 million for him!

Oddly I watched him play for Wolves against Man City in the League Cup last year. He played up front on his own and I thought he did really well; quick and created a lot of problems. Albeit was against Mangala and Adarabioyo. Hopeful this can be a decent signing!

Apparently was completely out of his depth at Southport

Lol, what a virtue signalling maverick you are. There's undeniably a problem with the lack of BME managers. I don't think anyone is suggesting otherwise. This isn't the right example though, he's an idiot.

Everton did, but then Sigurdsson had several years of proven ability at that level, with no significant injuries on his record. I agree though that someone might be pay £40 million for him, however would Bournemouth accept that offer? I'm not sure they would. They'd likely have to splash out...

In terms of his value, I think it's a tricky one. I'd argue he's almost 'untransferable', he's 26 so not exactly young and has two big injuries on his record. Add to that the PL is swimming in money, and you can't get a decent, established player for less than £30 million, I can't see...

Agree with this, but the BBC/ITV probably not getting enough bang for their buck on England friendlies/qualifiers. If the country engage more with the National team following the world cup, it could return to those channels.

Really tough fixture, against a good side who are playing well. They're coming off the back of a hard run of fixtures, so they'll be on form, but potentially tiring. I'd hope bringing someone like Jones off the bench against tired legs can make the difference.

We went through Browne a fair bit though, in fairness!

Bloody hell, a lot of pretty unfair judgement here based on one side of a story and the spin within a newspaper article. I've sat in newspaper editorial meetings and know how they work, they'll select quotes and spin it whatever way they can to make the story as compelling as possible, which in...

General thoughts; GK, not up to the level, unfortunately. Thought our CBs did okay, dealt with a lot of balls into the area and ultimately were let down by LOB and then a total lack of anything going forward. Brown a bad game but then so did everyone else, and he's not played a huge amount of...

Unfortunately at this level the forward market is nearly impossible to get right (or satisfy fans), unless you have a relatively huge budget. Any decent (or proven) League 1 striker is going to cost £500k plus, and even at that you'd still be taking a gamble, probably based on potential. I...

Ah I didn't realise Robins had come out and been that forthright. I thought it was just an optimistic nuanced 'we can achieve anything'. Anyway the bookies have us as 8th favourites, which is probably about right. That's cause to be optimistic though, I'm just not in the same place as the OP.

The age and inconsistency that came with that absolutely affected our performance, however that side had several players far too good for the division and should've gone up, or at the very least comfortably got a play-off spot. We needed more in January admittedly, and it was that business that...

I'm not as convinced. There's some good squads in this division, and whilst I think we've a chance of a play off push, so will pretty much every other team. We're a great deal better than when we went down, however we had some good sides in the years before that and didn't get that close.

Looks like a player with decent enough pedigree, worth a gamble certainly!

I think Nick is referring more to our current situation. Generally applied to football, absolutely. However when you go to a level (ours for example) where the fees are pretty nominal, and plenty of the best signings and almost all of the business is done with frees, then I think that assumption...

Agreed and that's certainly a marker against him, but had he impressed and proven himself, his value would be 2/3 times what Newcastle are asking for.
