    Defending corners

    I'm a bit concerned about our current set up for defending corners. Seems like we're caught between a man marking system and a zonal system. For the past two weeks Shipley has been left in an exposed position near to the goal scorer at the far post but not effective enough to make a telling...

    Sam Smith of Reading.

    The Coventry transfer rumours page on Facebook has linked us with a loan move for Sam Smith. Think it suggested would be a loan as part of the McNulty deal but obviously won't be that now. I know his brother so I'm just making some enquiries if there is anything in it. I know Oxford are after...

    McNulty goal ratio.

    Just looked at the BBC website scorers list and McNulty is joint top with Hylton in terms of goals per minute (1 goal per 145mins) out of the divisions top scorers. His variety of goals impresses me but he also had a slow start. If he's started the season how he's ended it he could be in 40+ goals.

    The new formation and potential problems.

    Just catching up on Match of the Day and noticed Everton went with the same formation we've been playing. They dominated Spurs first half, missed some very good chances to kill the game off (sound familiar?) and Spurs changed it second half and it was a different game that Spurs should've won...

    Jamie Allen

    I was hoping someone who went to todays game might be able to give an honest opinion about this lad in midfield for Rochdale. Went to both away games this season and the one last year against Rochdale and this lad really stood out for me as a 'Fleck' type player for them and if Fleck leaves in...

    Win ratio

    Any staticions out there can put up our league win ratio with and without Adam Armstrong? I'm sure we are somehow better without him.

    Budget management

    Just watched Mowbray's post match interview from Saturday and he mentioned how he has managed this season'a budget, which is smaller than last years. A massive amount of credit goes to him for where he has prioritised his cash. He's tried to change the mentality of the team with the training...

    Another rumour put to bed.

    Apologies if this has been aired already but I'm a bit behind and just catching up on channel 5's highlights programme. I'm watching the League 2 coverage and it says McLeod has gone to Notts County for a 6 figure sum today. I know a lot f people were mentioning his name on here as a suggested...

    Have we (or SISU) missed out financially with Bournemouth going up?

    As the thread suggests, have we missed out on a big pay day by them being promoted? Andre Grey has just moved between championship clubs for 9 million. There appears to be more money then ever in that league. A rumour doing the rounds was that Middlesbrough were going to bid in excess of 10...

    Realistic signings for next season

    Working on the idea that Mowbray is here and SISU, having convinced the man to stay, has offered him a reasonable budget. Who might we sign for next year. What type of player are we likely to go for. To be honest, some of Pressley's signings made we think we would genuinely challenge this year...

    Mowbray's preferred formation.

    Does anyone know what Tony Mowbray's preferred formation is? Has he stuck to a rigid formation wherever he has gone?

    Anybody else invested in this year's game? How you getting on? *cue obligatory 'don't give a shit' comments from those that don't play the game.

    Blair Spittal to Dundee Utd

    I know we were linked with this young winger from Queens Park in Scotland but he has just signed for Dundee Utd. Guessing only a small fee involved which is SISU's kind, if ever they were going to spend any money.

    Keil O'Brien

    Speaking to someone connected to Chorley FC last night and apparently we are watching this young centre back. Ex Man Utd youngster who was released, aged bout 21 and he's tall and quick. Few others watching, Port Vale included and Bury have already said they want him (the Flitcroft connection...

    Wilson article on offical website

    Hi, sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere but in the article on the offical website it states that Wilson has become the first player to score in 5 consecutive games since Micky Quinn in 1992. I thought Dublin scored in 7/8 consecutive games at one point or am I getting confused...

    Football Manager update

    Steam has updated and the new signings are at Coventry (minus Leon Clarke of course). Marshall has got an awful rating on it. The QPR lad isn't at CCFC but Slager is (with a finishing rating of 5!)

    The Davies sending off.

    Watching the game live (from pitch level might I add) I thought the challenge looked like it may be a red card so wasn't surprised when he was given his marching orders. Having watched the highlights I still think it's a wreckless, pointless challenge that deserves red but I think that Andy...
