The tiered system is being a bit of a racket at the minute. For in-demand games, I totally agree with the concept. For games like Wimbledon with a premium points offering, the system is clearly being abused. It’s going to close off access for a lot of people.

My starting team for Leicester, as things stand: (3-4-2-1) Wilson Lati McFadz Thomas Van Ewijk Hamer Sheaf Bidwell Sakamoto Palmer Simms I’m sure we’ll have a few more signings to consider for the curtain raiser on August 7th!

COH has to earn his stripes again. There’s the possibility he may not be the same player again. My gut instinct is that we’ll be playing the box formation at the start of the season. Palmer and Sakamoto behind Simms with Bidwell and Van Ewijk as wingbacks to provide a lot of energy and movement...

Two traditionally strong Championship teams but I don’t fancy them. Watford are a basket case (to be fair have been for a long time) but finally feel the chopping and changing is going to catch up with them. Norwich seem average. Genuinely, we will be stronger going into this season than last...

It was a depressing ‘hangover’ feeling after the playoff loss so I understand the collective doom and gloom on the forum. We knew Gyokeres was leaving and believe Hamer was off too. Personally, I was optimistic because Robins said we were gonna have a ‘churn’ and attract exciting players. My...

Welcome back BSB! It’s good to have you back and wishing you and Mrs BSB well. Hoping the optimism of the window enticed you back!

Agreed. If we’re looking at Nick Powell it’s clear we’ve got tabs on a midfielder or two.

Trust in Robins. He said we were looking at exciting players before the playoffs were over.

Both Sakamoto and Latibeaudiere will end up getting game time at WB. There’s a real need for players to be adept at multiple positions. Depending on our needs in-game. To start the season, McFadz will start and the onus will be on the new signings to dislodge him. I’m thinking a Lati - Thomas...

Disappointing, but we need to move onto the next thing. I certainly think we’ll sign this Binks and another CB - even if one is a loan.

I rate that! 😂

Imagine if we’re still in for McNally… I certainly think McFadz will be phased out as the season progresses! What an exciting transfer window - the most exciting window I’ve ever been a part of!

I know it’s only preseason… but Simms seems like a really good signing!

A lot of people outside our ‘Coventry City bubble’ really rate Wilson. Championship GKs seemingly have a reputation of being able to make the step up. So, given our season and Wilson’s in particular, it wouldn’t surprise me if we sold him for £2-3m.

Paying a fee for Collins seemed a bit ‘off’ when I first seen the rumour for a sub GK. He’s v highly rated by the management so it wouldn’t surprise me to see him starting the season in goal. £3-5m for Wilson is fantastic value and if it means we can strengthen our outfield options, it’s a...

The Belgian league ‘expert’ they had on the CET after we signed Sakamoto seems to think his natural position is RB (presumably wing back). Latibeaudiere seems to be able to play CB, RB and LB based on his spell at Swansea. It’s fair to say that we’re building a cross-functional team where...

It could be both. Sakamoto is a left footer who can play WB, AM - so gives us options at LWB, RWB and AM. Palmer has a history of injuries, COH is recovering from an ACL and Allen out for the foreseeable with his illness. Sakamoto will probably start the season as an AM.

How funny would it be if we sign him and he gets a winner against Sunderland? Imagine the meltdown on their forum/social media!

If anyone could spare a ticket for a peasant on 850 points, that would be appreciated! If you don’t ask, you don’t get! 😅

Thank you for the offer! I’ll be in touch as it’ll be nice have someone to go to matches with being so far away. I’ll check out Burnham and a few other places - I’ve had a lot of suggestions since the job offer!
