We lost Thomas and Bigi, all the rest were released by Robins. Personally, I think the team is an improvement on last year, with the exception of Thomas. Robins set a target of getting 12 players in, and unsurprisingly, we've signed 12 players. There must've been some provisional budget in...

For sure, clearly Robins has had a plan because we were signing players in May. When Robins came back, he spoke somewhat positively about the owners. Also, because we were more or less relegated from L1 by his appointment, I imagine the budget for next year would've been discussed and assurances...

I have no idea why some sections of fans are so quick to dismiss him. Seems to have split opinion, but so far has got an assist v Notts County and linked up well with Jones again v Grimsby. He's done well thus far.

I doubt that. He's a '10', he'll slot in behind McNulty, whom he's played alongside in his time in Scotland. Hoping for 20-25 goals between them.

Never thought I'd ever say this but... I think we'd miss Doyle if he's ever out injured/suspended. However, since he's left us permanently, he's played more than 40 league games a season. So I think we'll be fine. But Sod's law would have it that this season he finally gives way...

I'm not overly concerned about the lack of a target man. After all, in my experiences as a Cov fan, it hasn't worked when we've utilised them. That said, I've never experienced League 2 football. I've just had a brief scan at the squads of the three automatically promoted teams and only Plymouth...

There's an element of that. However, it's not just all down to Robins. Bringing in 12 players is a lot, so I doubt Robins has waved a magic wand and made it fit in the budget. The budget must be one of the largest in the league as we're able to sign the players we have. We even had some good...

I don't think that makes much sense. I can see Andreu slotting in on the wings if we get a few injuries, but he's a '10' so he'll be mainly playing behind the striker. So I think Beavon will make way because Andreu will be looking to score 10-15 goals whereas Beavon will probably get 10, give or...

Nice of you to rain on our parade haha! I certainly think he's been given the resources to have a successful season this year. It's now on him to deliver this success. Based on our time in L1, we had the resources to build competitive teams that were good enough for playoffs. So I only think...

100% agreed. We certainly looked dangerous and thought Jones stood out in particular. I think he's going to have a great season. Vincenti is going to be an unsung hero this season. Compared to The Duke or Jones, he's not as easy on the eye and he's not exciting. But, he's a threat in his own...

Gutted I couldn't go to the game, but I found extended highlights on the Grimsby website. I really like the look of the team. Jones had another good game! Freeview: Extended Coventry Highlights

Such as?

I don't think he will leave. I doubt that Championship clubs will be sufficiently interested in him and can't see him leaving us for League 1. He's had a full season with the club, brought in 12 players and I think we have a serious shot at automatic promotion this year. He's a good fit for the...

Every player has a price, so if a team would pay the money we're asking, then sure. However, the team has got off to a good start so I wouldn't want to risk breaking the group up in anyway. So it would have to be a very good offer.

How does that any sense? We'll sell a first choice CB and his replacement is a dominant centre forward?! As it stands, we only have 3 contracted CBs and one on non-contract terms. We have enough strikers for the time being. I'd only sell if a team was willing to pay well over the odds for him...

I don't think we should sell. His valuation has probably gone down after relegation, and his replacement would most likely have to be a loan or a free transfer (someone with no preseason), whilst breaking up the Willis-McDonald partnership. We get promoted, he signs a new contract and his...

They're not going to score so that won't be a problem haha

Otis, looking at Doyle's appearances with Sheffield United and Portsmouth, it's mightily impressive. He missed two league games in two seasons at Pompey and made 43 league appearances 3 of his 4 (the other amassing a mere 40 league appearances) seasons at Sheffield in L1. If he carries on in a...

In that scenario, I'd assume Vincenti would partner Stevenson, and we'd have Nazon and Jones on the wing. If it did come to having to put Shipley and Stevenson in CM, I think they have enough about them to cope in L2. If you're in a position where 3 of your top 4 choices are unavailable, you're...

I'm happy with what we've got. I don't think we have any 'needs' left to fill our squad up. As for CM, I think a lot of people are being harsh on Stevenson and Shipley after Tuesday and I don't think they did that bad against a Blackburn side who should be looking to get promoted this season...
