At this moment in time, I doubt both Willis and Burge will leave. Burge is probably the more likely to leave given a club like Wigan haven’t had a permanent goalie starting in 2 seasons and higher teams may want a sub goalkeeper. As for Willis, Rotherham is probably the highest placed team who’s...

McNulty is in a position where he may be moved on after 6 months. He probably won’t be staying in the Championship. I’d probably wager that McNulty was happier playing week in, week out for us than his time at Reading. If we finish in the top 9 this season, there’s a decent chance we could be...

Perhaps all 3 players are reviewing their options and there isn’t anything bad with that. Frankly, I’m unsure as to whether or not Burge and Willis could go to Championship clubs and start week in, week out. They may be better off staying for an extra season and try to get promoted with us. As...

From what Robins’ has said recently, the primary focus this window is the loan market, presumably because we spent a fair bit in the summer. He did say he wanted to ‘wheel and deal’, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens there. The Portsmouth example is a good one, and as I mentioned in...

Chaplin is 21 and if we’d spent 500k on a 25-28 year old striker the claims levelled against him would be a lot more valid. Chaplin could have one good season of scoring 15+ goals and we’d be able to sell him for more a lot more than 500k. When buying young players, most of the fee is based on...

Stoke have just been relegated from the Prem. We’ve just been promoted and have a young team. Totally different contexts. At our worst, we were 14th and still about 3 points off 9th. We also had some rough home games in Luton, P’boro and Accrington (6th at the time) and lost once. Just two...

A more appropriate title for this thread: The Curious Case of Coventry City Fans: Why Do They Make Knee-Jerk Reactions?

I'm in the exact same boat over here.

A winnable fixture and I hope we get a win for mine and brother first league away game of the season!

My thoughts exactly. Southend probably had the best chance of the first half from the corner, but that’s it. I’m not going to rant and rave about our performance, because I thought we were average too. A Southend said it was a ‘0-0 game edged by the home side’ and that’s a reasonable...

When you’re not scoring goals, it’s frustrating so I can see why fans were getting agitated. We all want to be sticking multiple goals past teams and being gung-ho in attack as it’s good entertainment value. Whilst it’s not an ‘either or’ situation, I can’t think anything more frustrating than...

Frankly, I think Powell is clutching at straws here. If it is offside, it’s very marginal. He claimed they got ‘stronger and stronger’ and created the ‘better chances’. That’s a worrying assessment in my view because they didn’t threaten us at all but for one or two chances. He spins it as their...

Like most League 1 managers, hence they are managing in L1?

Thank you! We all want what's best for the club and all have different opinions on how to get there, that's the point of a forum! I try to make my points as best as I can, even if they're not right all the time. I don't feel like there's a manager out there who's a better fit than Robins at...

Willis' improvement is precisely why we should've kept him because he was someone who could improve as he's still relatively young and had previous in L1, and our defence was red hot in the first half of the season. Generally speaking, us fans are prone to lack perspective and we tend to be...

People who tend to make rash judgements also tend to make themselves look like a tit. There’s a difference between having a few bad performances and being a bad player or a having a bad team. A lot of people cannot differentiate the two. Even during the our bad run, some of our performances...

I gather that too, so I'm considering getting the train early doors or a supporters coach early as possible but hoping there's not only a handful of tickets left!

Keep the team unchanged, or failing that, bring Doyle in the middle for Westbrook and push Bayliss out wide. JCH has been playing v well off the bench so is worth considering for a start, but keep Chaplin and Hiwula upfront for now. I fancy us for a win in this one given our good form v Wycombe...

Does anyone know how many tickets have been sold for this game as of the 28th? The website said 900 tickets had been sold out of 1800 on Xmas eve. With ticket prices being cheap this is a game I'd like to go to, but I don't want to risk travelling on the day and not get tickers. Any info would...

We all want what's best for the team so I won't criticise anyone for that. But, with all due respect, I do think you lack foresight now as you did then. We're 9th now, our results against the top 6 (albeit mainly at home) suggests we can mix it with the best in this division. So, for me...
