Like Swansea's captain and one of our best current players?

Too much basketball

The guy is more effective than Simms IMO. Gives 110% every game and was chasing the ball down in the 95th minute. Unless we have a better alternative he starts.

I had initially thought we'd have a busier window, but I wonder if we are maybe going to sign a CB and then hold out until January and see where the squad is at, and where we need to strengthen. I expect it's a better time to recruit as players at clubs not doing so well will be easier to...

It's also worth remembering this is a top 6 deck (based on last season). If we can avoid a horrible start, there's no reason we can't challenge for playoffs again, or be comfortably 4th/5th like Sunderland.

We will sign at least 2 more players IMO. There will be a lot happening behind the scenes. People need to be patient.

There are still a few left at 1100+

The council: "this is not a conversation we need to be having again" Uh ok - then why did you not sell the stadium to the football club, and actively try to shaft them. Coventry City Council are a bunch of c**ts.

I thought he lacked a bit of pace last season too.

Well theres also whether or not his won headers are just going absolutely nowhere which they do the majority of the time

Correct - he wins 41% of his aerial duels: Ellis Simms Scouting Report for Last 365 Days Men's Next 14 Competitions | FBref.com

% of Aerials Won 41.8% You're looking at what percentile he is in for the total number of aerials won - not the percentage of aerial duels he wins which is actually 41.8% - poor for his stature.

The thing is, you can't 'soak up the pressure' against the majority of Premier League teams, because before you know it you're picking the ball out your own net for the 3rd time. And they don't have a good defence now they are in the Premier League. People really underestimate how big the gap...

Not really - they are coming straight back down.

Christ this is cringey

There are literally daily releases of what's happening behind the scenes in training etc on YouTube (City Unseen).

I may be lacking empathy here, and although it is sad that Jota has died in a car accident, I'm not sure what that has to do with the EFL. The requirement of the entire footballing world to grind to a halt seems a bit extreme. Ultimately people die every day, and it's bordering on mourning...

Dovin's injury or Arena Coventry Limited? Arena Coventry Limited doesn't exist any more since Frasers Group bought the stadium.

And £50m

Now we have a proper owner, I expect us to hold out for a decent fee. Refreshing to not take the first bid that comes in.
