This is a moot debate, because we all know Biamou rules all CCFC strikers to have graced the shirt. All hail the king...

I agree we shouldn’t give MR a free pass, as we have one of the best young squads and considerably more resources than some of rivals. Furthermore, judging by the games we’ve lost this year, we should be in a better position. With that all said, I think MR should keep his job even if we wish...

Man, this news shocked me, RIP for the big legend. I was glad I got to see him and the other '87 legends play just once, albeit at Mickey Gynn's Testimonial game!

Welcome to just about every football club in the world... When teams are successful, it comes to no surprise that interest also increases... Surprise surprise!

We've definitely lost 3 of the 4, I can't remember Burge's first one other than it happened.

Well, because O'Brien has played 4 league games compared to Burge's 23. O'Brien has fucked up in 50% of his league appearances (4), compared to Burge's 8.7% (23)... It would be fair enough had they played a similar amount of games, but Burge has played nearly 20 more games than LOB.

Does anyone have an extended highlights link by any chance? Surely they'd be on that. Was you at the match?

Joe Murphy was an excellent goalkeeper for us, he wasn't the finished article, but not many Championship goalkeepers are. In my mind, Westwood was a deity he was that good. I was convinced he'd be a Prem GK after us - well, he wasn't... I love how the example you've used to make your point is...

I've watched the highlights a few times now, is Biamou's missed chance on the video? I can only seem to see McNulty with the chances. It's a real shame for Biamou, because he was involved n some really good link up play, however, going by Robins' words, you can't be missing clear cut chances...

If there was an award for describing what players 'we need' in the vaguest possible fashion, you'd win hands down. I suppose we also need a striker 'who can score goals' too?

I count myself amongst that number, that and university, I completely became disengaged with football in general - last season I'd regularly forget we were playing. I even missed the Checkatrade final last season because of uni work. However, with a bit of positivity I'm more engaged, but still...

Mark Robins didn’t ‘choose to stick with the cheapest option’ with Biamou. The only striker we missed out on was that Williams from Doncaster - because they chose to keep him. Even then, he’s 5”10, so hardly the ‘dominant bruiser’ who’ll get 10+ goals. If you don’t mind me saying, I think you...

Completely agreed. Mowbray's transfer policy for us was generally quite bad for us and in hindsight, us and Mowbray wasn't a good fit - he's far too used to working with teams with large budgets. In his first full season, he secured some really good loans, however, more or less all of his...

Indeed, he does need another chance, but he also has to be patient. He’s still young so if he’s not getting minutes in the first team, he needs to continue smashing in goals in the U23s - credit to him, he’s done exactly that with a hat trick. The worst thing for him is to be sitting on our...

This is all good! I have a good feeling that we're going to keep our team together, and hopefully, the teams around us our weakened. I think even Bayliss will stay this window - we're not in a position where we have to sell because it'll go to tribunal if he leaves after his contract expires.

This guy has outted himself as the one person who’d probably be worse at running the club than SISU - and that’s some feat! Fraudulent emails, incompetence and uncontrollable social media presence, he’s the midlands’ answer to Donald Trump... “Let’s make Coventry City great again*” *by that...

Great work with the stats. With this in mind, I’m backing us to win, they’ve lost badly to Notts County and Luton, and hopefully we have the edge after our tie at the RICOH. 2-0 to us, McNulty and Maguire-Drew.

I think we should all put his first spell behind us all. He’s come back, he’s a good manager with a good relationship with board and fans alike. I feel the board, with their obvious flaws, trust Robins’ and have backed him in both his spells. So far he’s done really well with recruitment too so...

Right then, it’s settled, winning the next two followed by a loss to Cambridge. I’d play Davies and McDonald at centre back against Cambridge - as a unit I think they’d cope better against their front men.

Beavon is and has always been a consistently a low-scoring striker. Biamou, however, got 13 in 49 last season so he’s roughly a 1 in 4 striker in the league below. I’m unsure whether Ponticelli would better that. Undoutedly a natural goalscorer at age group standard, but he’s clearly a...
