I’m reserving my judgement until after the transfer winder has closed.

We lacked goals from midfield last year. Kelly and Bayliss managed 4 between them? Thomas got 5. We need a at least 2 players who can score over 10 goals. Allen and Hiwula? We need more from Shipley, and hopefully one of the new wingers does well.

We haven’t seen our new wingers in competitive action, but they’ve impressed so perhaps they can add real value to our team. Hiwula has scored in and around 10 goals pretty much every season he’s played in L1. Scored 13 last year, I’m sure he’ll improve.

In the bigger picture, JCH wasn’t a great loss at the time... Only since he’s gone on to do really well at Bristol Rovers people are bothered. As for Chaplin, I’m not 100% sure he’d be started tomorrow. Until we’ve seen Jobello and Kastaneer in action, it’s too early to say they’re an...

Our preseason has gone from very optimistic to a bit of a downer in the space of a week or two...

What are you talking about? Walker hasn’t gone anywhere yet.

It depends. In my view, we missed wingers who could get assists. So Jobello and Kastaneer are key this season. The former looks like a player who puts the ball in dangerous areas and that could be key. We missed that last season, imo. As for Kastaneer, he’s someone who needs to get goals and...

My instinct is that Biamou is a role player.

Our fans only measure on 20+ goals in a season.

The scouts and MR seem to think he’s quick... what do you see that they don’t?

We only play with one striker though?

By signing Jobello and Kastaneer, is it not fair to say we’ve got pace?

Which is still about the Top 10 in Europe — to put that into perspective. Only 1-2 French and another 1-2 Irish teams have teams with comparable attendances. Bad explanation on my part, the seasons in their ‘successful’ seasons they were amongst they were about 6th in Europe and doing really...

Look at the average attendances for Wasps, some of the highest in Europe. With only Leicester having a higher average attendance than Wasps. The people of Coventry (and surrounding areas) have taken to Wasps more enthusiastically than can be said of our football team. As much as it pains me to...

This forum will be quite biased toward negative feelings toward Wasps. To your average Coventarian and CCFC fan, probably a bit more positive. I would certainly be very positive toward them had their presence not posed an existential threat to the one sports team I genuinely care about...

The more this stadium debacle drags on, the more I think the Sky Blue Trust is aloof and unrepresentative. Their agenda, to me, comes across as more anti-SISU than Pro-Coventry City and the two are not inherently the same. In my view, they should take more actions to scrutinise the Council and...

You’ve been banging on about how this team needs goals, yet you’re contradicting yourself in this discussion. If Hiwula was that bad and still more than doubled Thomas goal tally, that reflects worse than Thomas than Hiwula by your own logic. If Hiwula was woeful in 50% of games, if he adds...

I agreed with a lot of what you said, so that would make you clueless also.

Which number is higher, 13 or 5?

Hiwula scored 8 more goals than Thomas, whilst Thomas made 1 more assist than Hiwula. In terms of end product, Hiwula was clearly a lot more efficient than Thomas, there’s not even a debate to be had about that because the stats speak for themselves. I’m a big fan of Thomas, he has a great...
