    Video Fleetwood v Coventry

    Let’s all blame the GK for shoddy defending and well placed finishes from the opposition.

    Match Thread Fleetwood Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 27th Nov

    This has become an obsession for you. Ponticelli has started 6 times for us. Six! It’s not a sample size worthy of comparing to McNulty’s. Chaplin has at least made 100+ appearances which makes a comparison a lot easier. If we want to look at goals per minute, Bakayoko has the strongest claim...

    Match Thread Fleetwood Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 27th Nov

    As per usual, the response to a bad defeat is the typical meltdown amongst Cov fans. It goes without saying that this is a bad result. Worse still, we’ve let the opposition off the hook and paid for it. We can’t miss as many opportunities as we have done all season, there’s a few games we...

    Evans

    He did, but he clarified his position today because it attracted criticism from his own fans as well as ours. The amended version said that they created the best chances, but we were more fluent in midfield, which is a fair assessment. We had more possession, more corners and an equal amount of...

    Luke Thomas

    He’s a good player, but needs to work on his end product a lot if he’s going to break into the Derby 1st team. In particular, his finishing needs to improve and he needs to get more crosses into the box. The latter, however, might be more tactical because some of his crosses have been very good.

    Evans

    Conveniently forgetting Thomas’ sitter he missed, which was arguably the best chance of the game (tied with their header). Whilst they had the better opportunities, but if he thinks they gave us an ‘absolute hiding’ it’s not hard to see why they struggle at home. We controlled the game and...

    Jodi Jones Injury

    Thankfully, he was able to walk on it, which means he probably hasn’t done serious damage to the ACL again. But, the way he went down you could tell he’s done something. Hopefully, it’s good news.

    Burge, 7 - watched the highlights to rejog my memory, he made two good saves in the first half. Grimmer, 7 - caused trouble down that right flank, but the final delivery was left wanting. Willis, 7 - best defender today, headed everything away. Hyam, 7 - reliable as always. Brown, 7 - got...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Peterborough United Match Thread - Friday 23rd Nov

    Satisfied with a draw, especially given the circumstances. Another late goal shows that this team just doesn’t give up, which isn’t something you could say about many Cov teams. Whilst we were the better team, Peterborough had the more clear cut chances. Their #17 missed a howler before his...

    Worst Manager since premier league relegation

    Thorn, Slade and Reid stick out as the worst. Special mention for Coleman too — should’ve done better with the resources he had. It’s funny to see how some posters are rewriting history by saying Thorn was a ‘cheap’ appointment by SISU to reduce costs. That’s not the case. The majority of Cov...

    Your January transfer window

    First and foremost, we need to extend Thomas’ loan deal. The squad is in a good place when we get people to full fitness so maybe we’ll take a punt on some loanees to beef out the squad. We’ll need to sign a few experienced players in other areas in the summer. That is, if we’re looking to...

    Was this Coventry City's worst ever transfer window?

    Given Slade’s credentials, it’s no surprise people were generally positive with his appointment. At the time, I felt it was a good appointment. Looking back, it was a stupid position not to appointment a new manager in the run up to the Jan transfer window. Whilst Venus, iirc, started off quite...

    Was this Coventry City's worst ever transfer window?

    Mowbray isn’t solely to blame, but he’s certainly responsible for very bad recruitment that summer which is a key factor in relegation. However, choosing to keep Venus on was probably what did the most action. Before we held off appointment a replacement, the likes of Cotterill and Evans has...

    It’s Jordy Hiwula time...

    Not at all, but I’m objective in my overview in of the system. If you think a system is broken after the odd loss, you’d be chopping changing so often, it would be a detriment to the team. So you have to take a look at the bigger picture, and in the league, we’ve lost once in 7 games, so to say...

    It’s Jordy Hiwula time...

    Of course that isn’t my phrase. But apparently over the last few games Chaplin and JCH doesnt work, nor does Hiwula on the wing, Doyle in midfield and ‘the system’ doesn’t work. We seem to be doing awfully well all things considered then. 2 were low stakes cup games where we fielded a weakened...

    It’s Jordy Hiwula time...

    Results and our league position is more important. Objectively, we’re performing above expectation, would you disagree with that? Robins might not be a Guardiola, but he’s a clever man who knows what he’s doing.

    It’s Jordy Hiwula time...

    Meow, very sassy. Can’t really follow the thread of what you’re trying to say exactly. Why would he potentially be a ‘waste’ if you’re also ‘convinced’ he’ll come good in the coming seasons? Maybe they didn’t put a bid in, but I think as sources go, the words of the Barnsley manager is pretty...

    It’s Jordy Hiwula time...

    It was a rhetorical question which certainly seemed to insinuate that he’s a ‘waste’. Otherwise, why ask it? Yep, but as we’ve seen with the ‘prehistoric Robins...’ thread, it’s pretty clear there’s a lot of people on here who overreact and exaggerate our shortcomings. This season, as a newly...

    It’s Jordy Hiwula time...

    How is he a ‘waste’ already? What a stupid comment. He’s already scored two ‘match winning’ goals and he’s 15 games into a 4yr contract, he’s 21. Without setting the world alight, he’s still projected to score about 11 goals this year which is pretty good. We couldn’t have waited and signed him...

    It’s Jordy Hiwula time...

    He’s played most of his senior football on the wings, and has thrived on the wing for the most part. Even clear cut chances he missed early on this season, he was played out wide. Until Jones is fully match fit to last 90m, he should be deployed outwide for sure. There’s no need to change...
