    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    Panzo is only 22 so he's got a lot of developing to do and is the kind of player we need to take on and improve. Much like Gyokeres, who was 3rd choice below Biamou at times and just kicked on with us after signing him permanently. Doyle is obviously the better player and talent but his future...

    Tomas Kalas

    Kalas was Bristol's skipper before Pearson so he's a leader and I believe he did play the middle of a back three. On a side note, I rate McFadz and he's an absolute credit for maintaining the performances he has, but he's turning 37 and not getting any younger. Ideally we need a replacement...

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    What's he like attacking wise? His G/A stats last season were nothing to shout about, but the season before it was the same as Bidwell this season. Stats don't tell the whole story and it matters more that he suits the system and gels with the team.

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    100% - and this season has been a real stepping stone for the club. On meagre resources we were one step away from the Prem. Players will be keen to join this project as we appear to have turned a corner from being a basket case club. Likewise, we’ll be a preferred destination for big clubs...

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    Square peg in a round hole. It’s good to have cover with a lean squad but that’s pushing it a bit.

    Jay DaSilva Signs!

    Depends if we had someone lined up to come in. It seems like Da Silva has been bought on to be first choice if we were allegedly about to part with Bidwell.

    Transfer Rumour Scott Twine

    There’s no evidence of that and it doesn’t really seem to be a standard practice.

    Retained List

    Liam Kelly has definitely earned a contract offer with the way he stepped up. Let’s be under no illusions that over a 46+ game season, he isn’t a player to take us to the next level. A one year extension to keep a leadership figure at the club is worthwhile, but if Kelly wants regular first...

    League One Playoff Final

    On today’s viewing, neither Barnsley or Sheffield Wednesday look ready to make the grade. Wednesday will have a bigger budget to make that transition but I doubt Moore has the managerial capability to be an effective Championship manager with the style of play. Ipswich ought to do the best of...

    The morning after the night that wasnt to be.

    Newcastle are watching Gyokeres yesterday… Hoping they’re willing to spend £25-30 million on him. It does seem most Prem teams have an interest in him, which bodes well for getting a deal on advantageous terms. If we genuinely hold out for £20+ million, it’ll show that this new regime is...

    Dude, we get it. Have a Kit Kat. Try to talk about about anyone but Dabo for a while!

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    It’s totally normal mate. After the World Cup I had a football sabbatical at a time I considered getting a half season ticket. I had a ticket to Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday today and I couldn’t be arsed to be honest. Had we won, I’d have been up first thing to get there and soak up the...

    Dabo released

    Honestly, it may sound controversial… but, players come and go. With Vik, there seems to be sufficient interest to drive up the asking price to let him leave on advantageous terms. As for Hamer, I’m worried we won’t get good value for him so can see a Kieran Westwood-type situation occurring...

    Dabo released

    Robins warned towards the end of the season there was going to be a churn of players summer before we made the playoffs. We have a lot of players out of contract, loanees heading back and our squad depth is poor. Kelly has performed well enough for a contract but it would not surprise me to...

    Transfer targets

    Their GK was not good at all. Soft goal and was not assured at set piece time. Anderson looks alright but not 100% sure he’s the profile of defender we want.

    Transfer targets

    I’d be happy with that. Hoping Cresswell is surplus to requirements for Leeds! Jerry Yates ought to be a decent addition if we’re serious about him. A few unearthed diamonds and squad players and we can consider it a (potentially) successful transfer window.

    On a positive note

    There’s plenty to be positive about. We’re a club on the up and a great destination for young players to progress their careers. That’ll give us good options from lower division players and talented loanees from the Prem. We’re about to free up a lot of wages with players being released and we...

    Championship thread 23/24

    If you’re a bookmaker, you’re looking at how many players are going back to their parent clubs and the uncertain futures of Hamer and Gyokeres. If we manage to keep both and add quality, we’re a completely different proposition. If we have to replace them, it’s looking very uncertain. I am...

    When it all calms down.

    If the disappointment manifests itself in toxic ways I.e. abuse of players, violence and/or anti-social behaviour. Then sure, I agree. If people get a bit upset/angry and need a vent, let them.
