One of the main things affecting how well a player does is the quality of the players around him, obvious, I know. If a team can afford to put 3 players on him he won't score many, and nor would most players. Loss of form is always a possibility for any player, but I don't get the comment about...

About as likely as Bale going to Cardiff

Enjoy your trip

Main position is right back but can play at left back apparently

Are we really getting upset about totally unsubstantiated rumours which in all likelyhood are invented by attention seekers?

What's happened to his neck?

Brian Clough was on the TV experts panel, he was the only one predicting a Coventry win. I feared the worse though when Clive Allen's goal went in. The Tottenham team were going round casually shaking hands if I remember correctly, they thought they had the game sewn up after 2 minutes.

I think Milan Fukal might suit our budget

No, just 7 examples. CCFC1234 makes the point much better than I have. It's human nature for a parent to want their child to excel if they have an ability. It's effectively private coaching from a top professional, it gives any child a massive advantage to maximise any potential they have.

The luck wasn't all our way though, I seem to remember one of their players raising his arms in a way that should have been 100% a sending off but the ref missed it.

Did you find out? Cause I was wondering the same thing

I think the big differentiator is that a successful footballing dad (especially with an international career) is generally likely to put a lot of work and effort into their child's early training and keep them at it. A number of examples are Tony Hateley, Frank Lampard, Peter Schmeichel, Ian...

Signing for us apparently. The trouble is he's only 8 years old https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/coventry-city-new-signings-academy-23936690

Imagine Harford and Tavares up front lol

Exactly, that's why I was careful to say capable, of around 20 goals, not that they would score that amount. Stats have to be taken in context, Gyo has played 3620 minutes, and this season was 3 goals short of 20. Godden has played 1640 minutes, and maybe he wouldn't have reached 20 if he hadn't...

Hopefully will find out next season but Gyo's stats of 213 minutes per goal equates to 19.5 goals in a season, and Godden's stats of 137 minutes per goal, is actually 30 goals per season.

Some people were worrying when we lost a 28 league 2 goal machine - McNulty. Now we have 2 players capable of around 20 goals each at 2 levels higher

I've got more to worry about than things that haven't happened yet.

What if they don't? Would be interesting to take it to the last day, even if we are complete outsiders

I'm sure there is a good player in there somewhere, particularly at L1 level. His record, with Cowley having experience of getting goals out of him is baffling.
