[Evo1883]

I have them finishing above us as it stands. Both teams need a striker though.

Not a chance in hell

We will see, a lot of neutrals seem to agree.

I'd back them as well, got great momentum and made some decent signings.

I can't see us finishing as high as last season at the moment

 

[Tommo1993]

There’s nothing to say we’ll have a good season, or bad. I’d hold back on the blind confidence for now.

 

[cooperskyblue]

It is far easier to be more pessimistic towards your own team and think that other teams have done great business, but I'm sure other teams would see the signings of McFazdean and Allen and Kastaneer and think we have done good business and be up there.

 

[Evo1883]

The only reason people aren't backing Coventry is because we are at St Andrews, forgetting the ricoh pitch was a contributing factor to poor home form and us missing out on playoffs

Bookies have us way down below Lincoln and they’re rarely too far off the mark.

What IF, while playing on a better pitch, we still lose games that we had chance after chance of winning. What will be the new excuse?

The same as last season? Poor finishing!

All I'm saying is,Alot of this squad never played at the ricoh, so it won't make any difference to them where we play.

The fact is people( because that's what bookies odds are based on) are not backing Coventry because we are at St Andrews, people aren't putting money on us, means nothing...

People make the market. Not the bookies, the ricoh move has stopped people putting money on us

Not because we've lost some of our best performers from last year then? We don't score many yet we've let our 2nd and 3rd top scorer go, albeit Bright's loan ended.

I just don’t buy this pitch thing, is all.

Exactly, pitch is the same for both teams....

Don’t get me wrong, I won’t deny the Ricoh pitch had seen better days - I just don’t think it had as much part to play as people say.

No I'd say looking at previews of league 1 it's to do with St Andrews move

 

[Evo1883]

Style of play etc no, it's nonsense to suggest a shit pitch doesn't effect a team who like to play nice football

Probably losing Burge knowing this forum

Summer Transfer Rumour Thread

They Seem to be confident that he fits the bill for a striker there after...
Pisstake if he goes Lincoln over us

 

[clint van damme]

Same. We missed so many good chances last season.
If we were able to create the chances on that pitch we can't blame it for our failure to convert them

Not true. Sir Paddy Power himself decrees the odds at the international bookies convention on a triple decker yacht just behind the Guinness factory.

 

[Evo1883]

Anyways, I think we will finish above Lincoln

 

[Mcbean]

Some fairly harsh talk on their website - we may be playing at Brum but we have ambition with MR - Lincoln is in the middle of the North sea

Funny that Forest are playing Lincoln tonight, hope that the atmosphere don't turn his head

Nobody has a clue where we or Lincoln will finish at this stage, including the bookies

Last season the bookies had Scunthorpe and Shrewsbury to finish well above us - how did that work out?

 

[clint van damme]

I think Ipswich will piss it.

 

[Corrado]

Bookies know fuck all about league positions! Individual games yes- who will win the league No!

 

[Tommo1993]

I usually put on a relegation and top 7 (or 6, or, 4!) accumulator for the PL-L2. Wondering what eight teams to pick this season.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Don’t get me wrong, I won’t deny the Ricoh pitch had seen better days - I just don’t think it had as much part to play as people say.

It had a big effect on trying to play a passing game (especially trying to use the full backs, and across the middle of the park)

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Don't fancy them. Not even sure why. I am looking forward to visiting Portman Road again.

agree with that. In the same way, its nonsense to suggest a team not playing at home with a biased crowd doesn't affect a team

 

[Warwickhunt]

Bookies have us way down below Lincoln and they’re rarely too far off the mark.

if i put £1000 bet on CCFC to win the league our odds would be dramatically increased lets say 20/1 to 10/1

And you’d lose £1000
