I thought Robins mentioned a game behind closed doors today?

Give him a pay rise. Devon that is.

Won't make him taller

 

[Otis]

Give him a pay rise. Devon that is.

That would have made Monday better if he was on the bench to come on and snap somebody. Liven it up

Errmmm... am I reading that wrong?

I read that as Devon went off injured after a bad tackle and the other bloke got the red card.

Is that not right?

 

[stevefloyd]

Sounds right to me thats how I read it

You are right, I've re read it. Dion should have cleaned the bloke out.

Dion sprinted over together with the rest of the team. Had Devon's foot been planted it would have been a leg breaker

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Found it!!! !!!!

Does that mean he’s under contract till 2019 or 2018? Because 2 years from the tweet would be November 2018!

I really hope the telegraph is right for once, and his contract is till 2019 with an option to take it to 2020!

I can’t remember a player ever having a contract until November so you’d hope it’s January at the very least. Usually renewals run to the end of a season.

It's clear as Mud, but he signed it in the January.

How Sky Blues fared in Leeds United friendly

Haven’t they just copied and pasted fron this thread?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

It's clear as Mud, but he signed it in the January.

I don’t like the ambiguity! Attempting to apply some common sense, you’d think it was an extension on his contract which I assume would’ve expired at the end of the 2016/17 season. So that would mean it would expire at the end of of 18/19 season. Most youth contracts have a year option too, don’t they? So either way if it ends this summer or next, we could still extend it? I’d like to think the Telegraph would be 100% certain in publishing his contract being until 2019 with a +1 year option.

But, we’re Coventry and we don’t do common sense that well.

Shame Baker was at Cov baths, otherwise he would be in there too.

 

[stevefloyd]

How did they get on today? last I heard it was 0-0

 

[ccfchoi87]

Lost 2-0

 

[stevefloyd]

oops

 

[mark82]

oops

To be fair, Burnley had an England international in goal and an Irish international up front.

 

[Otis]

No Baker again, so that's it. Need to put that one to bed now once and for all surely.

 

[stevefloyd]

More chance of the candlestick maker playing

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

U15 player William Bapaga has been signed up by Rio Ferdinand’s agency - New Era Global Sports.



This sets a worrying precedent for youth football. A player who’s in year 10 being signed. I’ve heard he’s an outstanding player for his age however don’t understand why he needs to be represented by someone at that age and why they feel the need to publicise it.

FA rules state this:

The curent FA rules are that no football agent can sign any player under the age of 16. Between the ages of 16 and 18 years the signing of a player must be via the parent or guardian.

However it seems the top Premier League clubs want to change this, article from 2016: Top Premier League clubs lobbying FA to make it easier to sign young teenage prospects

 

[Otis]

Another game to be had today isn't there.

Be very, very interesting to see what the line-up is and if anyone can force their way into the side for Cheltenham on Saturday.

Also to see if anyone from Tuesday is dropped and forced to play in this instead.

 

[Otis]

Anyone going up today? It's at the Ricoh, 2pm.

Really want to go, but my mum is having an operation and am waiting for the hospital to ring to pick her up.

That shouldn't be until about 4pm, but not sure if it is wise to risk it.

 

[Nick]

It's free parking in the Ricoh, just take your phone in and leave from there if you need to

Right outside the stadium? Is it? Might go then.

Thought I would have to park at Tesco.

 

[Nick]

It says "Admission and car parking both free for the 2pm kick-off" so I assume at the ground.

Take SW88's job for the day

Sky Blues Xl: Corey Addai, Dion Kelly-Evans, Trialist, Jordon Thompson, Chris Camwell, Callum Maycock (C), Josh Eccles, Jordan Maguire-Drew, Kyle Finn, Devon Kelly-Evans, Trialist.

Subs: Lewis Green, Jack Burroughs, Bilal Sayoud, Josh Endall.

JMD back in the fold to win us promotion with a free kick!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Guessing the trialists are the ones who played on Monday. Mickleover centre-back Morgan Williams and Wigan striker Mwiya Malumo. Also, from the teams over recent weeks I think Billy Stedman, Josh Eccles and Lewis Green are the ones who have been offered professional contracts

 

[Nick]

When is Sayoud's contract up?

Can't see him making it here.

End of the season

 

[Nick]

Probably just going through the motions with him being on the bench.

 

[skybluesam66]

just when you think things cant get any worse, Mcguire Drew is back

 

[Otis]

Not going to be able to make it unfortunately. Wife needs the car for an hour or so.

Notice no Beavon back. How long are you usually out with concussion?

Has Kyle Finn another year of his contract to run?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Has Kyle Finn another year of his contract to run?

Yes he signed a new contract a few weeks back. Hickman and Thompson signed until 2020 and Finn and Ford until 2019

 

[stevefloyd]

We won 2-0 too Sayoud and trialist the goalscorers not sure which trialist though
