The officials were not at fault for our performance. I think Sakamoto went down a little bit too early for the officials to give him free kicks - that’ll come as he adapts to the league and footballing culture. To hear the person behind me say ‘it’ll be hard to beat that ref as the worst this...

Way too soon for you to make those judgements. Players need time to adapt to new countries and the way we play football and how it’s officiated. It was something Hamer needed time to get to grips with before becoming one of the best players in the league. This applies to: Sakamoto Wright van...

Clearly missed Hamer today in what was a drab fixture. The team will hopefully get a few additions and we’ll develop nicely. Sakamoto put in a good shift, van Ewjik looked likely and overall, defensively we were solid but gave away that soft goal. Eccles and Sheaf are good players but we...

It’s not a secret, Robins has credited his team along the way! MR has out together a good team on the pitch and off it! Include Dennis Lawrence to that too! Remember when he stepped in for MR and Viveash and we battered Sheffield United 4-1!

In terms of impact, there is not a Coventry manager who has turned the fortunes of the club around like Robins has since Jimmy Hill. Doesn’t mean he was technically the best football mind. But Robins is very comfortably Top 2 of all time. I’d have rather kept Robins than Hamer and Gyokeres. A...

Just think how good Haaland will be this season if that’s the case…

Probably true. Sheffield U panicked into paying what we demanded for Hamer having had a difficult transfer window themselves.

Simms and Wright will be our starting strikers when everyone is up to speed. This only changes if Godden has an impact similar to that in our second Championship season. Simms will be absolutely fine and the naysayers will come to look silly in a few months time. Wright will also be a class act...

Yes, we all knew about the link with Da Silva, but the announcement wasn’t leaked.

Most of them were leaked by journalists weren’t they? The only surprises were: - Da Silva - Simms - Binks Even these 3, Da Silva was linked in Jan, Simms was picked up by Sky and hilariously, the club leaked Binks when no one had a clue it was happening!

Let’s start a match thread - Styles and Kitching watch… 😂

Did Robins allude to Wright being short on match fitness hence the start at Wimbledon and bench v Boro? I agree we should keep it unchanged, Wright as an impact sub for 30 minutes will help ease him into match fitness and form.

I fancy us for a win, 2-0. Beating Boro 3-0 must do wonders for confidence even if the score line was slightly flattering. Unchanged team with any new signings likely to come in on the bench. I’m not excited for this away day and making a bit of a weekend of it of it too! #pusb

Out of curiosity, how many games did we sell out this side of Christmas last season? Ultimately, big games and a successful product will attract more fans than competitive pricing. We could’ve done kids for a quid every game in L2 and the impact on attendances would likely be minimal.

To play devils advocate, isn’t there a risk this is a storm in a teacup? What evidence is there that the pricing structure is deterring attendances? We’ll likely hit a record average attendance this season despite the furore around ticket prices.

Moving forwards, we surely want to be an exclusive brand, right? Therefore, the drive should be encouraging people to sign up for STs/match packages. The family zone is incredible value hence it sold out so quickly my brother (concession) and I’s ST was £350. Two concessions and 2 adults would...

To be frank, people taking the piss buying discounted tickets for people that should be full price paying has probably driven this. It appears the justification is based on data that a disproportionate amount of tickets being sold were concession/children’s and so on. A middle needs to be...

It’s not a given COH will come in and replace Palmer. COH may not be the same upon his return and Palmer is highly rated by MR and Viveash. COH will need to work his way in and that’s without discounting Sakamoto and/or a potential new signing. We’ll certainly see both of them appear in the box...

Agreed with both of these! There were times last season our subs, frankly, were not good enough to make the impact needed in games. Offensively, we were carried by Hamer and Gyokeres last season and that was backed up by a really solid defence.

In terms of building a squad, we currently do need several players. If selling Hamer and Gyokeres allows us to sign a few standouts and really build the squad, it’s worthwhile. Likewise, it allows us to use to really focus on signing marquee players in future transfer windows. Looking at...
