My instinct is that Biamou is a role player.

Our fans only measure on 20+ goals in a season.

The scouts and MR seem to think he’s quick... what do you see that they don’t?

We only play with one striker though?

By signing Jobello and Kastaneer, is it not fair to say we’ve got pace?

Which is still about the Top 10 in Europe — to put that into perspective. Only 1-2 French and another 1-2 Irish teams have teams with comparable attendances. Bad explanation on my part, the seasons in their ‘successful’ seasons they were amongst they were about 6th in Europe and doing really...

Look at the average attendances for Wasps, some of the highest in Europe. With only Leicester having a higher average attendance than Wasps. The people of Coventry (and surrounding areas) have taken to Wasps more enthusiastically than can be said of our football team. As much as it pains me to...

This forum will be quite biased toward negative feelings toward Wasps. To your average Coventarian and CCFC fan, probably a bit more positive. I would certainly be very positive toward them had their presence not posed an existential threat to the one sports team I genuinely care about...

The more this stadium debacle drags on, the more I think the Sky Blue Trust is aloof and unrepresentative. Their agenda, to me, comes across as more anti-SISU than Pro-Coventry City and the two are not inherently the same. In my view, they should take more actions to scrutinise the Council and...

You’ve been banging on about how this team needs goals, yet you’re contradicting yourself in this discussion. If Hiwula was that bad and still more than doubled Thomas goal tally, that reflects worse than Thomas than Hiwula by your own logic. If Hiwula was woeful in 50% of games, if he adds...

I agreed with a lot of what you said, so that would make you clueless also.

Which number is higher, 13 or 5?

Hiwula scored 8 more goals than Thomas, whilst Thomas made 1 more assist than Hiwula. In terms of end product, Hiwula was clearly a lot more efficient than Thomas, there’s not even a debate to be had about that because the stats speak for themselves. I’m a big fan of Thomas, he has a great...

He was born in 1999. Hiwula was 22 when he started with us last season? What’s your point? Hiwula was, overall, more productive than Thomas and for me, age is irrelevant because we knew we were going to have Thomas for one season only. Thomas will almost definitely go further than Hiwula...

No it isn’t, the community engagements footballers have are extra-curricular to their normal work day. The comparison with teachers was a poor example whichever way you look at it. If you want to make the case that all criminals should be banned from football, fine. I’d still disagree, but...

If he improves by 10-20% in the final third, he becomes a player worth £5m plus, easily.

Agreed, but he was also v inefficient at converting chances. You criticise our strikers a lot, yet Thomas is without a doubt the biggest offender in missed guilt-edge chances last season. Even Robins was quoted as saying he should’ve had ‘at least’ 30 goals. I say this as a big admirer of...

The key difference is teachers work with minors on a day-to-day basis. Footballers don’t. They have community commitments and engagements, but that’s not an essential characteristic of their job. I’m all for keeping criminals being banned from those engagements, but not from football.

In fairness to all our strikers last season, we didn’t have wingers that put dangerous crosses in the right areas last season. It’s not so much our ‘system’ per se, at times we just didn’t put the ball in dangerous areas enough. That’s not brushing over the fact that our attacking players...

I would rather have not sold Chaplin, but I don’t think he would have started the season in Starting XI. Hiwula is our top goalscorer, Bakayoko was slightly favoured toward the end of the season and we’ve been seemingly pursuing Walker for a little while. Let’s see how things go!
