In League 1, we had McGoldrick, Clarke, Wilson, Armstrong and Murphy as goal scorers - clearly we did replace them. It's one thing to sell when you're midtable and unlikely to be successful, and it's another thing to start selling players when you're in contention for success. The only player...

We were never going to pump £4m back into transfers in the same way MK Dons didn't splash £5m after selling Dele Alli. However, I agree Pressley got an awful hand and the transfer money didn't appear to be put back in, even if it was in the form of wages.

To a degree, but the bookies are also not stupid, they roughly know what teams are going to be thereabouts for relegation and promotion. The bookies having us as 3rd favourites wasn't really the crux of my point though...

Top 6 was always a long shot with the deduction? Clarke wanted to go to his childhood team and Wolves were willing to pay over-the-odds for an aging striker. As for Wilson, £3m was a good price and I'd have sold for that much... I'm sure many of us would have. I'll happily give you the...

Can't remember a time we haven't done it as my time as a Coventry City supporter.

When have we actually ever done that? We didn't even get rid of Callum Wilson the season he and Clarke were juggernauts. Getting £1m for Clarke, who was 29/30? Good business.

Realistically, only Stevenson, Willis and Haynes, maybe Camwell, are saleable assets. We sell all of them, the worst case scenario is that we've got rid of a 1st choice CB, but as for the rest - fringe players as of now. Atm, we're holding out for 500k for Willis, and neither Bradford or...

The bookies have placed us as 3rd favourites for a reason. Our manager has stated the aim is promotion. Most of our signings have been promoted from L2, we've seemingly got recruitment right this season and have so many options at the moment. So I wouldn't say we're an 'unknown quantity', the...

I don't see how sisu would make Robins walk? They are (somehow) yet to make any of our managers resign? In recent history at least...

I think the fans will flock back to a successful team. Hopefully we average about 12k if we get a run going.

I personally think it's because he isn't the archetypal pacey, direct winger a lot of fans like. Even if there's no end product...

It's L2 football, there's not many good individual players. We've had many teams with great individuals, this group of players appear to be a good, cohesive team. Teams get promoted on good defences generally, and if you don't concede, you can't lose. I've said elsewhere, the promoted teams top...

Agreed, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But, I think informed opinions improve podcasts and some of those opinions, if you do a little research or rewatch highlights you'll build a more informed opinion. To say Jodi Jones was, more or less, the only factor in the Notts County result either...

I was pretty wound up by this latest edition because I felt like it was needlessly negative. You wouldn't have thought we were top of the league with zero goals conceded and one shot on target against us. In both games, whilst we haven't been flashy by any stretch of the imagination, we've...

Unchanged from Grimsby unless McNulty is ruled out. Fancy another 2-0, Jones and another, probably McNulty. Can see Nouble getting a goal against us too because Sod's law.

I'd say the truth lies somewhere down the middle. We probably have one of the biggest budgets in the league. Andreu was apparently wanted by Oxford, so it's a good sign when you're beating teams in the league above for players. I imagine that is the case for a few of our signings too. Put it...

Haha I don't think anyone is that naive! I'm just happy the manager has received some backing and that we've put together a squad which should be capable of challenging for promotion.

Not much point in me speculating because only Robins knows the real answer to that. He wanted 12 signings, and he got 12 signings. The consensus amongst us fans is that the quality of signings has been good, so I'm happy.

To add on to your point, it's no coincidence we've signed players who have experienced promotion from League 2. In addition, we've mostly signed experienced pros and that experience will help the team grind out results and during bouts of loss in-form, injuries/suspensions.

What point are you trying to make? We probably are paying less wages, but we've gone down a division? The budget is hardly going to increase. The reality is, we've signed a lot of players from divisions above us; Andreu, McDonald, Vincenti, Grimmer, Nazon and McNulty. Doyle and O'Brien (albeit...
