Confident of a victory tonight. On the whole we were poor against Forest and won, yet good against Barnsley and lost - not an unfamiliar pattern to last year. However, I am confident we will improve as we go on and are capable of scoring - more so than last year. Being down to two strikers is...

Horrible news. RIP.

Not sure. While not ideal we at least have cover at CM in Allen and Shipley - and even Howley. We have nothing at LWB if Maasten gets injured. DaCosta is an option in theory but most of this forum have written it off at RWB never mind left. Reid is way too green, so we’d be left with someone...

Re the OP, we will be more than fine this year. I’ve justified it in more detail elsewhere but we’re stronger than last year. Not just signings wise, but we’re a year more experienced (players and management), have retained our key players and Dabo/Rose are back and fit. Dabo is especially...

It’s pathetic. Always feels like we have a higher proportion of idiotic fans than other clubs. Not a great endorsement or welcoming for Waghorn or Gyokeres if he was getting direct abuse from the stands after missing the pen.

As others have said it isn't that easy to just move players on, especially this summer when club are more strapped than usual. Having said that, I think Pask could still do a job as cover at CB and Allen can do a job CM/AM. Neither are ideal, but in our situation we could do worse. I still...

Looks like 4. Or it’s Shipley LWB and Reid LCB, with Allen/Howley holding and Jones/Bright behind. Two creative, and in different ways, 10’s if so.

Tempted to head up tonight especially as I missed Saturday, but depends on the kids. I usually eat/drink fairly far away and walk along the canal. If I go tonight as it’ll be last minute, what’s the situ with parking? How close can I get? Tesco still ok as long as you spend a certain amount?

It’s a shame we don’t have a young high potential LWB who can cover. I thought Reid came with a decent reputation but he doesn’t seem close. Is that just because he’s not ready yet, or do we think MR/AV just aren’t impressed? Really hope it’s the former.

His celebration for the winner was fantastic to see. And even more so shows the team spirit and togetherness MR has created - even the new signings are bought into how big this club could be.

I always associate ELO Mr Blue Sky with us - other than the name, I think it’s because we came out to it at some point?

Why? What’s wrong with a pint of lager with a G&T and baileys chaser?

Incredible. Still doesn’t beat this for goosebumps though. Still one of, if not my favourite, CCFC experiences.

Thanks BD, much appreciated! Although you can be honest, we all know the real reason you can’t post much during the game is because your managing the team - it’s a solid reason!

Not sure I’ll even get an opportunity to watch it on my phone so I’ll be relying on here for updates/reading back through when I get a chance later. So please can some of the more balanced posters keep us updated please. Not sure I can read through pages of overreactions and point scoring re...

Having to miss the game due to an unavoidable last minute family issue. Absolutely gutted - still hoping I’ll be able to find some time to watch it on my phone. Despite some of the concerns around signings, I’m confident of three points and a good performance today. Hopefully that will appease...

I appreciate the jury is out for a few, and he’s already the target for others, but the majority of people with any footballing knowledge know Bright has the ability to make things happen. IF, and I accept it’s a big ish if, he applies himself, COH and Bright behind any of our four strikers is...

Feel free to check my history, I rated him and could see the impact he had while half the forum thought he was bang average. My point remains though, he wasn’t a world beater, he wouldn’t single handedly win your games. He kept the ball moving, could pick a pass when needed and was positionally...

Re the comments around the transfer signings not going to plan, missing out on targets, scrapping the barrel etc. How do we know that’s the case? Who’s to say Waghorn, Gyokeres, Maasten et al weren’t our first choice signings? Unless Better Days, or maybe one of the new ITK’s confirms otherwise...

Surely all fans have to be excited for this one; first game back live in the Championship, first live competitive football game (for the vast majority at least), first (competitive) game back in Coventry and it’s the start of a new season!! Perhaps selfishly I don’t really care about crowd...
