    Who would you sell?

    JCH...what a waste. He barely scored in League 2 when he was with us on loan. I couldn't believe it when he started scoring loads at Posh. Robins (despite being a striker) spunked a lot of budget on strikers who just didn't deliver. Tyler Walker, JCH, Martyn Waghorn and Conor Chaplin being...

    Lampard

    Would take Sargent in a heartbeat. Brilliant striker. Would be perfect for us.

    Who would you sell?

    Without a doubt, Haji. Luxury player. On his day he can rip any team in this league apart, but way too many matches where he offers very little. His misses against Burnley (a simple volleyed finish from Da Silva's cross) and Plymouth (header) were shocking. Had Simms or BTA missed those we'd...

    Fábio Tavares

    I was hoping he'd get a run at CF last season for 2-3 games. I believe the only games he’s started at CF have been Bristol City ( that ridiculous Carabao cup game at Burton) and Wrexham in the FA Cup, where he did his ankle ligaments, and was out for the rest of the season. He was no winger...

    Lampard

    Not sure I agree with that. He was still doing a great shift when the goals dried up a few weeks ago. Haji Wright was as quiet as Simms yesterday (and at Plymouth).

    Lampard

    Lot of criticism of Binks on here since Saturday. Terrible signing etc… He was good on Saturday, messed up his clearance on the line, but he shouldn’t of been put in that position in the first place. Great option in a back 3 but had struggled in a back 4. Thought he looked beefed up on Sat...

    Brad Collins

    Wilson will be rusty, and we'd need to adapt our play as his kicking is poor and he's uncomfortable with the ball being played back to him. Still, I think he would of kept out at least one of those Plymouth goals yesterday. Big call to be made there. Collins looked a decent keeper last season...

    Ellis simms

    Simms started at Millwall early on in Frank's reign. He was disappointing, and lost his place for a spell. He then came back looking bang up for it, and scoring goals. Then the goals dried up, but he was still playing well (Oxford away). He's gone back into his shell again. He wasn't strong...

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 26th Apr

    Back 5 would make sense. EMC probably still out (or won't be fully fit) and Sakamoto is not delivering away from home at the moment. It allows to play 2 CFs. I'd probably go with Simms & Wright, but BTA could be an option. If he sticks with the 4-3-3 then it will be Da Silva & Wright on the...

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 26th Apr

    Lampard will have them drilled this week I am sure, and he normally gets a response after a poor performance (Sunderland came a few days after Derby), but Luton is not a happy hunting ground, and can be a difficult place to play, especially as it will be rocking on Saturday.

    Match Thread Plymouth Argyle - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 21st Apr

    Firstly, Collins. Enough is enough. At fault for 2nd, should have kept out their first goal and the powder puff handling for the 3rd. We only started to look dangerous when Dasilva and Patterson came on. Thought BTA looked interested too. Plymouth should have been down to 10 men at 0-0...

    Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Friday 18th Apr

    I would look at putting Rudoni wide left (with license to roam) and bring back Jamie Allen into CM, then decide on Wright or Simms for the CF role. Sure WBA will target our left side if it's Dasilva & Wright again.

    Player Ratings v Hull

    Simms didn't miss any sitters. 2 of his shots were after poweful runs. Both on target, and were half chances at best. The 2nd half chance was fizzed across the box and took a deflection. Easier of the 3 but not guilt-edged. Thought Simms led the line well. The Haji header was the big chance...

    Match Thread Hull City - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 14th Apr

    I thought we were good last night. Hull’s goal was offside, and even the Kasey Palmer chance in the 1st half (their only chance in the first half) should have never been, as Sheaf was taken out seconds before. Simms led the line well, and Wright although far from his best, still looked...

    Pompey player ratings

    He has the best first touch in the squad. Very rarely gives the ball away. Helps us progress the ball forward. Not sure what Frank’’s done but he’s not getting targeted as much by opponents. Improved defensively, and whipping in some sublime crosses.

    Pompey player ratings

    Simms needs to play CF, with Haji playing off him. Neither are suited to the lone CF role. MVE and Dasilva were excellent. Collins solid. Nothing to do, but some good distribution. Sheaf was rusty, but was starting to get his rhythm in the last 15. Kitching was a little reckless, but he was...

    Assumming Wilson is not ready, I was hoping he'd throw the young lad Bell in. Collins is sure to be a wreck mentally tonight. Bit of a risk.

    Matt Grimes

    Grimes has looked good. Best to imagine how the results would of gone without him playing the last 10 games or so. Hopefully Sheaf starts Weds, as I am looking forward to seeing these two as a partnership

    Overrated players

    I liked Wegerle. He was inconsistent and struck me as needing a lot of "Man Management" to get the best out of him. Gould certainly couldn't do that. Phil Neal got a tune out of him once Gould left during the remainder of that 93-94 season. His performance at Spurs on New Years Day 1994 was...

    Overrated players

    Thought Burrows did all right for us. Solid. After watching his predecessors like Steve Morgan, Paul Edwards, and Kenny Sansom, he was a clear upgrade. Although to be fair to Sansom, he was 33 when he joined us, and his best years were behind him. Out of all those early Big Ron signings I had...
