    It’s clear Wright is Franks first choice striker, but Simms absolutely has to start today. Both stats and confidence wise, he should be our first choice right now.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Leicester City Match Thread-Sat 17th Jan 12.30pm

    It provoked three separate conversations: The first was actually a Villa fan! But his son in law was Coventry. The second (which was one of those awkward while having a wee at the urinal chats) was with a Cov fan who coincidentally has a ST in the block next to me. The third was with a...

    My parents live here and my Dad is an ST holder too so I spend a lot of time here and Hinckley. But they have my kids tonight so I’m representing Cov with my partner who genuinely can’t even fake interest when I explained the situation. Definitely see more Cov tops around the village these days!

    Out for a few beers in Burbage tonight and sporting one of my retro Cov tops. Most people I know in the village are Leicester fans, so I’ve already had a few looks. Not all heroes wear capes.

    Pitch update. Heat lamps still on and two groundsman are re-doing the white lines around the pitch.

    I’m so excited I’m here today. They are doing a lot of work on the pitch currently.

    Our Weakest Position

    Simms starting will get us over the line. Especially with a more dynamic and fresh 3 behind him. We now have the ability to change wingers and the ‘10’ when things aren’t working, and by the looks of it get balls into the box quicker which benefits Simms. His clumsy touches often overshadow...

    Match Thread Stoke City - Coventry City [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 10th Jan

    I want us to win, I enjoy a cup run. It’s great for the players, club and fans. It helps built momentum and creates a buzz as we get to the latter rounds. With the two signings so far, plus two more rumoured we have a big enough squad. Appreciate we desperately need to rest a few, but we’re...

    Video Getting to know Romain. 🎙️

    Not the brightest or most energetic character. Sure that’ll change when he gets his own song and is fist pumping the crowd after his debut goal!

    Transfer Rumour Romain Esse

    Somewhere in his source chain is Overson. Overson is friends with Hamer. Saddle says it’s a perm CM incoming. Welcome home Gus.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Don’t see what O’Nien adds over anything we currently have. He is a poor footballer and an average defender. He isn’t better than our current CB’s or midfielders. He is technically sub par and won’t fit our style. And it is a waste of a squad and loan place. And that’s being objective...

    Transfer Rumour Yang Min-hyeok

    Just need him to have a word with Wilson now. Before he himself rejoins us in summer to lead our PL campaign, obviously.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Not massively enthused by the Neil rumour. Not looked at the stats - so I’m sure someone will show they’re impressive - but eye test wise he’s never really stood out to me. Would prefer to spend on someone with potential to make it with us in the PL.

    Transfer Rumour Callum Wilson

    The romantic in me really wants this to happen. Football wise, even if he’s half the player, he isn’t exactly a bad option off the bench. Plus the buzz it would create amongst fans and players - alongside his PL experience in the dressing room. As long as we aren’t breaking the bank for him...

    Transfer Rumour Yang Min-hyeok

    Don’t get any negativity around this. Imagine having an actual winger to bring on when EMC/Sakamoto are knackered or ineffective. Rather than Rudoni RW. The signing is about depth and being able to change a game with subs. Re his mixed reviews. Anyone who has played football knows the...

    Haji shite

    Quoted the post 40 mins ago, then poo’ed the same post 10 mins ago. Desperate for a bit of attention? It’s a really admirable feat, but as I’ve articulated before, if he isn’t scoring he adds nothing. Today he honestly looked so devoid of confidence and unsure what to do, it was sad to see...

    Lack of ideas and lack of passion evident today I thought. Things are slipping big time.

    Actually I don’t, he’s just shite. Genuinely like playing with 10 (and then 9) men.

    Honestly don’t want to be melodramatic but form and performances are a genuine worry at this point. Season is turning the wrong way.

    Actually feel for him at this point, his confidence looks absolutely shot. New striker needed in Jan.
