Not from the sounds of the kit rumours 🤣

I think there’s a fine line. You need the fitness levels to be high enough to put in the work, over the season but also need to ensure you don’t over do it and cause injuries. Reason why sports scientists have become a big deal.

I think with the Chris Jones at the club for preseason, it’s going to be a rough pre season. Expecting fitness to be much better at the start of the year

Amazing stats tbf. Since the CM role also has to chip in defensively, is he good for tackling and intercepting?

Wonder who the other side is

Good start on paper. Guess we’ll find out if the start to the season curse of the last few years is a mark robins curse or Coventry city curse

Mate that’s clearly Josh Eccles’s Barber 😆

Not arguing on if he’ll sign for us as there’s no rumours on it at all (like everything else to be fair 🤣) But I don’t see why he can’t play in our 4-2-3-1 especially based on this read up on Martins tactics in 22/23. “Russel Martin likes to create central overloads when attacking the...

Fair point but he did play in a Russell Martin system last time he was in the championship for a full season.

Just seen Manchester City have turned down £6.5 million for Doyle. Wonder how much they want

I think it allows two things when I’ve watched us. I think it gives us a way to relieve pressure against a high press. As we can hit the ball long and hope to have the striker hold it up. And allows us to decoy as Simms or Wright can occupy defenders (which to his credit Simms did for several...

It’s a fair shout, like you say at Derby he didn’t, then at Chelsea he had Abraham and Giroud(?), then Calvert-Lewin and Maupay at Everton (although apparently he wanted Watkins). He’s always got for a lot of crosses from all of his clubs but nothing saying with Rudoni being the height he is we...

I’m not saying he couldn’t as I have said I support him coming in for the right price? Do I think he fits the same profile we use atm with Haji and Simms being more target forwards no, but think we can adapt from that. More than likely instead of asking the striker to hold it up as high as he...

All transfers especially strikers always feel like gambles imo but he’s got a very good record in this league. Compared with some links out there, makes him less risky (although arguably less reward due to age)

Yeah he did and clearly did it well. Would be different in our system tho due to the rotations of the players. Dont think it be as difficult a adjustment in our tactics tbh, probably just ask Rudoni to stay higher up to help control the ball

On paper West Brom were above average but that team was awful under Mowbray

Hmm depends on the system, when Haji was playing against Sunderland he did well off the shoulder. If we looked to play more of the 4-3-3 with two 8s it could work
