If that’s that, can we please stop playing Eccles out of position now and put Kane back in.

not doing the young lad any good playing out of position every week.

Spot on. Also the sale of Hyam. A player who was hardly mentioned in any thread. It was all about keeping the Big Three, which we have done.

With Hyam it's more how he was pushed out of the club for a quick buck. If he had been sold in July for a better fee and been replaced, perhaps even upgraded, there'd be much fewer complaints.

We have signed four players for the new season - we seem to have kept for the moment our three key players - sadly one is badly injured and we had a shit pitch but now we have to mobilise and fight back and Robins will do this !

How?

Yeah I'd have liked a CB in but if you had said before the pitch hassle that Hyam would be going out and the others wouldn't, people would have taken it.

Yeah to be fair mate fair comment

I think the start we’ve had highlights the Supposed concerns so hopefully you’re proven right and we get up the table

He was hardly "pushed out of the club", he will have had a fairly big pay rise.

Amazing how Hyam suddenly became our best CB when he signed for Blackburn, same as JCS when he signed for QPR.

Its not brilliant but its certainly not a disaster. All we've heard over the summer is keep the big 3, which they've done, albeit likely only due to COH injury. What we need now is COH back as quickly as possible and no other key players being out for any length of time

Fair enough. Circumstance dictated that though. Circumstances beyond our control which forced our hand. Would I rather have kept him and signed more players? Absolutely, but I'm more than happy to have kept the Big 3.

The majority wanted to keep the Big 3 or 4 which has happened

Only lost Hyam who - in my opinion - was good in phases

Move on!

I thought there was a lot of over dramatic posters on here but fuck me take a look at some of the reply’s on twitter

“You are a total shambles Coventry City - Forget the usual rubbish tomorrow about we've kept our players, we all know that wasn't the plan. The owners deserve every amount of grief they are about to get after the fans had responded in record fashion”

“If we get relegated you can forget ever seeing a fucking penny of my money again because I’ll be done with it”

Embarrassing!!

I am sure I remember the plan was to have greater depth to the squad?! We have let 3 centre backs go (4 with JCS loan return) and brought in 2 loans. A couple of injuries or suspensions and we are screwed.

Poor transfer window, we needed to replace Maatsen which we don't look to have done that properly and are also probably weaker at centre back. Also needed cover for Dabo at right wing back as he is always likely to pick up an injury.
Could have done with another centre midfielder as Sheaf and Hamer are good but not much good cover for them if one of them is out and could have done with replacing Waghorn with a better quality of cover for Godden and Gyokeres.
