    Statement signings if we go up?

    We will need at least four with substantial or decent Premier League experience. Bringing in players from Europe may mean it takes too long for them to settle. Especially as the first season up is probably the hardest to stay up.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Preston North End FC Match Thread - Wednesday 11th Mar

    We need to make the most of the next two home games. Tonight will be tough as Preston will be negative and well organized defensively. Could do with an early goal really before they have chance to settle. Southampton will be more open, but a better footballing side and now getting into their...

    How is Aled Williams employed?

    fans don’t really know how good or bad coaches are. The slander that was thrown at him was terrible. I don’t care whose form has dipped or improved as that is probably not what he is judged on or necessarily down to him completely either way. There are many factors that influences a players...

    Rivals for auto spots

    If we can maintain the gap on third after the next two games we will be in a very strong posion. Once you get under 10 games to go playing catch up is difficult.

    Ephron Mason Clark

    people are within their right to spot weaknesses. But if a player improves it can be acknowledged. People aren’t obliged to stick with their opinions. Players can improve and several have for a variety of reasons.

    our fans always, even when they were garbage or bang average in the first place.

    I haven’t a clue but Riis and Twine are both decent

    This wont be easy as they will have a point to prove after mid week. They are normally decent at home. We have to make sure we turn up with our A game.

    It’s like watching EMC.

    You can only have a ticket if you remember…

    League Cup 1978, away at Chester 2-1 City. Stood on the open away terrace amongst knee high weeds.

    Next years season tickets

    Most of that will go on players and wages.

    Chest control and EMC

    Lobbing the keeper like that is a difficult skill. When it comes off it looks such an easy thing to do - but it isn’t.

    Do the numbers flatter one of our strikers?

    Wright and Simms are different types of player and that is to our advantage. Sometimes when you change strikers during a game you want them to pose a different set of problems for the opposition defensively. I often think Simms strengths at defending the opponents set piece is often overlooked...

    Chest control and EMC

    I have said previously he is a forward in the Cyril Regis mould rather than a ‘winger’. The ball over the top for him to attack the space behind the defence is when he looks most potent, rather than trying to beat a man out wide with a step over or a trick. He isn’t that good when he cuts...

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    I am not sure some of our fans have picked up on the dubious connotations 😆

    Joel Latibeaudiere

    He is the most intelligent footballer out of all our defenders and offers versatility. I never understood why our fans didn’t rate him. I put it down to his versatility, because in the past he has been asked to cover different roles from week to week (Which doesn’t help form). You really need...

    10 more wins does it

    Managed the game though, which is what we weren’t doing when dropping points.

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Feb

    Two really good goals by EMC and Rudoni. But EMC's work rate and closing down has been very impressive. Could do with winning this with a clean sheet. What we don't want is a silly red.
