    Match Thread Coventry City - Port Vale Match Thread - Saturday 9th Sep

    Well, I for one prefer this new look defence. In 6 games we've conceded 1 goal that hasn't come from a GK mistake. That's fantastic. We can go into games knowing we can win 1-0 and in past Cov teams we were nervy in those situations. Defence wins games and I don't care if it's a drab affair...

    Early goal, another clean sheet, couldve blown it with the red, but didn't. I'm happy.

    Kwame to Sutton

    I was of the belief that Andreu would play behind McNulty when he signed given their past playing together in Scotland. Beavon has never been a player to get you goals, but, he's had several promotions and is an experienced player - you want and need those heads around your squad. You're...

    Kwame to Sutton

    Kwame Thomas has played 14 games for the club, Biamou has made about 3 appearances. Neither are proven and clearly the best man to judge - Robins - disagrees with most on here. It could take just one goal to build either player's confidence, but Thomas is far too injury prone to be considered a...

    Kwame to Sutton

    Exactly, there's an element of make or break: had a good run in the U23s, needs to prove form and fitness for Sutton and maybe he could play a role this season. This could also mean Ponticelli makes a few sub appearances now!

    Beavon - no goals in 11 consecutive league starts...

    McNulty's record was in L1, in L2 he got 10 goals in 27 for Pompey in the 15/16 season. He's got 2 in 6 for us so far - roughly about the same ratio to date. If he keeps it up, he'll get a decent haul for the season. He's proven at L2. I agree with the rest. We have players like Andreu who...

    The Worst Chairman

    So we've been ran by incompetent chairmen for as long as anyone cares to remember?

    Vincenti

    He plays as a wide-midfielder, and not as a winger, don't conflate the two. We have a direct, pacey and skilful winger in Jones...

    Chesterfield Highlights

    Agreed. Whilst I wasn't there, it's clear to see we created enough chances to win the game, which is encouraging. I think McNulty will be up there with the top goal scorers in the league and he showed he's a threat - denied by a great save from a great effort. We've conceded 3 goals, which is...

    Chesterfield Highlights

    Agreed. It's still a squad of 12 new players being brought in, they probably still need to gel a bit before things start to click. After 2 loses, getting a point at least keeps the board ticking over. We clearly created chances to win the game and it looks like McNulty just had one of those...

    Match Thread Chesterfield - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Sep

    I wouldn't panic just yet - none of the supposed 'front runners' have really got off to a good start either. I'll take the positive that we kept another clean sheet. But, it's now 3 consecutive league games without a goal - something needs to change.

    Dave Tarpey turned us down

    Shame we couldn't sort a deal, but Barnet is pretty local to where he is...

    Strange transfer activity?

    Does anyone not remember McGoldrick's first 6 or so games for us? He does look like the weakest signing to date, but, there's plenty of time and opportunities to prove himself.

    CCFC Deadline Day Deals

    Realistically, no one can knock our dealings this window. Thomas was out of contract and Harries probably wasn't going to start. I do wonder if Bigi would be starting if he stayed... We've kept all our other young lads and we've built an experienced squad to build on that. Despite the last three...

    Strange transfer activity?

    Two reasons: 1) A trend I've noticed is that if you average less than 1 goal conceded a game, the likelihood of coming in the playoffs is almost a certainty. Bringing me on to my next point... 2) Teams who have had strikers who've got 20+ goals hasn't necessarily correlated into success...

    Strange transfer activity?

    I disagree, because you need to give all these new signings that everyone wants game time. We have a squad of 21 senior players, the only youngsters in that number are Stevenson and DKE. Then you've got players like; Leahy, Camwell, Shipley, Maycock, Finn, DeKE, Ponticelli and other youngsters...

    CCFC Deadline Day Deals

    Were they? We managed to get a permanent CB in instead of a player who's on non-contract terms - it's an upgrade! Since Carl Baker is now a free agent, we don't have to sign him by the deadline, that is on the assumption both parties are interested.

    Strange transfer activity?

    A bit bored of going through this again. We have 4 strikers, our first choice has a good record in L2. On top of this, we have a promising goalscorer in the U23s, we don't NEED a striker whether we play 2 upfront or 1, we have the cover. By contrast, we had 3 contracted centre backs and another...
