For all the typical hysteria of us Cov fans, we’re only 2 points worse off than last season. Admittedly, I’m yet to watch us because I’ve been working away. But to make an observation, we look far less settled than we did last year with more chopping and changing. I don’t think Biamou is a lone...

Tell that Inzaghi, one of the best poachers in my time. To play on the shoulders of the defenders, you need to take chances.

It’s been 4 league games and we haven’t even got some of our best players back from injury yet.

You have to look at your career as an investment. Sure, you can take the quickest quid you’ve ever earned at 18 and be out of the Football League by 25, then you’re back to being a semi-pro. Sometimes, you’ll earn more money as a footballer proving yourself elsewhere on less money. To use...

I’m not sure why he’d regret a move just 4 games into a season... ... it could the case that he looks back at this move in the future with regret if things don’t pan out well. This said, if you don’t test yourself at the highest level you can, as an athlete, you’d be sure to regret that too...

None that I’ve ‘stormed out of’ but when I was JSB my mum used to come early to pick me up from games. Aside from that, I’m a stay until the final whistle kind of person.

I had forgotten about that! But that’s the one! I’m unsure whether or not it was the right thing to leave him out. A 4-0 horror show for your last game? Wouldn’t be for me, personally.

Without seeing or following the Oxford match, I find it very hard anything can top that 6-2 loss to Yeovil. Only that and the 4-0 loss to Watford, last game of the season under (probably) Coleman. Leon Barnett’s defending still makes my blood boil to this day. Only two games I voluntarily...

You’re making a judgement after 3 games. Robins said straight after the Scunthorpe that this team will need a few weeks to kick into gear. Whilst I’m underwhelmed at our business in the striker department, I do trust Robins to get it right, ultimately. As long as we don’t get relegated, I’m...

We should probably return to a 4-4-2 for this game, something like: Sterling Davies Hyam Mason Bayliss Andreu Ogogo Shipley JCH Hiwula I feel like we’ve deviated too much from what was successful at the tail end of last season. The only problem with a 4-4-2 is that fitting in...

Us Cov fans love a good meltdown.

What figure do you have in mind for how much you think we should've got for him? It's all well and good slating what other people have said, or vaguely saying we let him go on the cheap, give me a figure. When you've got a player like Maddison, you purposefully put those sell-on clauses on the...

Pretty sure a significant portion of our fans spent half a season slating McNulty as not a ‘natural goalscorer’ last season. Hiwula also appears to have been deployed out wide a lot in his career and despite his slow start, he could be a good signing. McNulty also got off to a slow start...

What figure do you have in mind? Personally, I thought £5-6m is a good deal. I don’t think he’s better than Dele Alli who was a natural comparison. This is what we’ve ended up with so I don’t have many more complaints. Perhaps you could say we got lowballed at £3m initially but that’s why you...

You've taken that £9m value out of context here. Maddison wasn't a £9m player when he was with us, £5-6m would've been a good deal and that's what we've ended up getting. Dele Alli is one of the best Prem midfielders and he only cost £5m, and frankly, neither Dele nor Maddison would've reached...

Bakayoko isn’t a lone striker, nor is he a target man. His style of play indicates he likes to run into channels and with the ball to his feet. If we’re to play 4-2-3-1 it probably won’t be Bakayoko as the spearhead. Very much a striker who thrives in a 4-4-2 it seems. We’ll end up playing...

More that trademark Coventry City Paranoia. No, that’s clearly not going to happen because Jones won’t be fit before the end of the transfer window.

With all due respect, how would you know we’re not signing quality players? You’ve not seen any of these players play. Last season, Hiwula scored 12, Bakayoko scored 9, JCH scored 9 in his last season in L1. If your requirement is 20+ goals, you’ll be disappointed because only 2-3 players do so...

As long as we have one striker who can hit between 10-15 goals, we’ll be fine. The likelihood of us finding a 28 goal a season striker is ridiculously low. I doubt McNulty would’ve scored many more than 15.

Didn’t he get 9 goals for last season in 47? Your, or shall I say, ‘our’ man is 22 years old. Plenty of young players, especially strikers, have disproportionately bad goals to appearances records. Partly because plenty of those games have been 20m cameos and dodgy loan deals. Two of our...
