    Three points for Sunderland is now the most likely outcome. Should have stayed defensive, although not quite as much as last week. Sunderland players will be desperate to impress the new manager. I will be chuffed with a draw Alexa please give me an example of overconfidence - Coventry fans...

    This team will be better than the 22/23 team

    WE keep forgetting the loans - BCN, McNally and Doyle were really good. Kitching is clearly of that standard, but regarding Thomas the jury remains out. The current team have three/four top quality or potential top quality - Callum, Saka, MvE and Kitching. It is not enough for top 2. I also...

    0-2 Southampton. Defence twice caught out by quick Southampton breaks... Fear the worst, but as my prediction record is dire there is always hope

    However the point is irrefutable. Were we in Southampton's position with their squad playing a team in our position, regardless of recent form, the majority opinion on here would be for an easy victory. And the mood would be just as nauseatingly cocky

    Eccles has to come back or else Sheaf and the defence is too exposed with only one holding midfielder. Southampton are not Brum and I suspect we could be hammered without the extra defensive cover. It seems to me there are two options 1. Straight swap Eccles for Allen. 2. Replace a striker...

    But how many chances did he have to do it quickly? It actually makes my point. Need to do that almost every time

    Good (in no order) Bidwell, MvE, O'Hare, Sheaf, Saka, the referee. Par for the course: Collins, Kitching, Thomas, Allen, Wright Below par: Simms, the opposition MoM: Bidwell. Should be Saka or O'Hare but Bidwell is so solid, makes few errors, does his best going forward, makes himself...

    'feelings' are something only experienced by fans. For all other participants in the game it's 90% money 10% pride, just like everybody else's working life

    I suspect the fairy tale indian summer of Ben Wilson is over. The lovely story of the perpetual number two and all round good bloke who finally gets his chance, makes the play-off finals and wins golden gloves. Sitting in the dug out again I suspect he may know that is where he is going to be...

    Ditto Am I right in thinking we have three left sided central defenders - Lati, Binks and Kitching, or have I got Lati wrong?

    This will mean that Lats will have played in three different positions already in his Coventry career.

    Finally got a second to post something. Broke a 60 year record last night and left before 90 minutes, something I have never done before, in fact make a point of not doing so. The game was pretty dire and both sides bang average. It has come to a pass when Wilson becomes our most influential...

    The best tippy tappy at Watford was by their centre-half. Not sure we can rely on that
