Hopefully Marc Richards wont be match fit for Saturday (he's been out for ages hasn't he?) Think he'll be on the bench, at best.
200 goals in 600 matches. At league one and league two level. Three promotions from league two.We were in for him according to CET. Can’t say I know too much about him
Pity we didn't get him"We’re in direct competition for one player with Coventry" - rival boss
Yup it looks like we were in for him, was between us and Swindon as Carlisle couldn’t compete financially.
However I don’t think I would have been happy with giving a 35 year old an 18 month contract. So maybe length of contract swung it their way.

18 month deal would of been the only way, he would of had options and as we know know he did.
What's the betting we played hard ball over a 6 month deal.
Onto the next player now but he could well of bridged the gap we needed to close
Hahah true...Definitely don’t think we would have given or offered him 18 month contract. He’s 36 in July. It would would have been 6 months with option of another year.
Normally I would say no, but Baker might be an exception as he is recovering and training with us, so will have the chance to prove his fitness before Robins signs him. There is a difference though as if we signed him, we could use him off the bench and ease him in gently. If we sign a striker to bring goals and replace biamou with the view of starting, we need them to hit the ground running. In our experience, takes for out of contract players 10-12 weeks to get properly match fit and contributing... King, Cole, Hunt are jusr 3 recent players who signed off the back of little football and struggled for fitness. I'd also argue we didn't see the best of moussa until he was properly fit.Does the same logic apply to someone who has been with a club but injured and not played this season? Carl Baker for instance?
Take your pick;
Matty Fryatt*
Dexter Blackstock
Ishmail Miller
Rhys Murphy**
*Matty was born in Nuneaton (I think?) get a local lad in?
**Rhys Murphy we were linked with a couple of years ago.
Barrett scored 3 today Ponticelli 2 more I no it was only an under 23s game but surely the way they play could be adapted to the first team at least they are both full of confidence unlike Max.Not saying play them every game but surely a great option.
Add Simon Church to that list. Think he could do a job in league 2 and he's still only 29.Take your pick;

Wasn't he released by Port Vale?If fryatt was fit he would be a great signing
Agree with you.The more that I look at the list of suggested players, the more I want to let Ponticelli have a run of games.
Surely Ponticelli is the backup for McNulty?Agree with you.
I think he has a role to play. But we need a striker urgently if anything just as a back up for McNulty.
Ideally qualified for us!Matty fryatt hasn't played since March 2015 due to long term injury problems.

What we need is a Biamou type who scores now and again. Then we'd have two poacher-types, and two bludgeoning types.
Or Mrs Slocombe’s pussyBiamou is about as bludgeoning as Mr Humphries.
If an attack of Beavon, Ponticelli and the 80% fit Reading lad can muster 6 between them, do we have to have a bludgeoning centre forward? Ideally, I understand that we need it as an alternative if a more mobile attack won't function, but the above (with McNulty instead of Beavon?) might prove effective?
Add Simon Church to that list. Think he could do a job in league 2 and he's still only 29.
How can Coventry start scoring more goals?
The gaffer has been open in saying that we’re looking to bring in a striker to help which I definitely think is needed. The Duke [Duckens Nazon] has gone back to Wolves and we’ve picked up a couple of injuries in the attack. I think in this league, a lot of teams play with a big man. We’ve been missing a bit of that. Sometimes we need to change our game and play a bit more long ball.”
