    Teams won't look forward to playing Coventry next season

    Ipswich Rotherham Sunderland Portsmouth Doncaster Peterborough Lincoln MK Dons Seriously, where do people get the idea that automatic promotion is a doddle this season?

    Not socks

    All of them in that photo have footless socks on - kind of like compression sleeves. They must have come like that. Baka has his on upside down, either Mason or Hiwula are wearing theirs back to front.

    Not socks

    Sorry failed to upload photo. Anyway Bakayoko’s socks are on upside down!!! I tried to figure out how this was possible and realised that the team aren’t wearing sky blue socks at all but sleeves over normal ankle socks. Sock-gate.

    Hummell

    I’m quite hopeful (although I’m hoping the bits under the arms are a bit more discreet) but at this stage and with the possibility that the kit is in quarters can I be the first to mention Wycombe Wanderers?

    Our apparent bid for Bright!

    I wasn’t convinced for a while. He got stupidly sent off vs Burton and I was particularly unimpressed at Accrington when he seemed to over-elaborate and slow down play at every opportunity. Then he scored a lovely goal to win the match and by the time of the Barnsley and Sunderland away games he...

    Worst ever signing?

    All time worst was probably Gary Collier (our record fee paid) or David Bradford. From the prem McA was a disaster; great player but made us less effective as a team. His return as player-manager was worse. Eoin Jess, Simon Howarth, Kevin Richardson and David Rennie all seemed very...

    Lee Burge

    He dropped the ball for their second but 2 of the others were terrible deflections that gave him no chance. If McLoughlin gets a £5m move after the performance that day (he punched Hiwula’s ‘shot’ into the roof of his net) I’d be amazed.

    Kit launch at Coombe Abbey

    Have they put you on a table with Messrs Allsop & Allsop?

    Lee Burge

    Made some brilliant saves - we should all be eternally grateful for *that* stop at Meadow Lane in the play-off semi-final - but as others have said his confidence took a beating after a series of bad decisions last season. Hope he prospers wherever he ends up but it was right for all sides that...
