All you can do is laugh. Fuck it. It’s a great laugh.
Best day ever.

About as funny as mrs browns boys

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.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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.

 

[Mcbean]

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 !

 

[Matt smith]

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

 

[torchomatic]

I think the first 11 is fine.

but lack of confidence and catch up combined with a small squad has me concerned

We've played 4 (four, quattro, vier, pedwar) games. It's the first of September.

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.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I put in a word

I'm absolutely amazed they haven't blocked you.

 

[Liquid Gold]

How long until we have as many points as we’ve made signings?

 

[chiefdave]

Despite the rage, I dont think it's overly bad.

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

 

[Nick]

Yeah it's been a shit start, we have hardly been hammered though.

We have played 4 games FFS.

 

[Pricey1984]

We've still got a big swede on our side

We've still got o'hare, callum o'hare

He's still Brazilian / Dutch / brilliant


Disappointed not to bring another face in, but let's take it and move on

Pusb

Think we’re very light on quality and depth st centre back

although Doyle last night was outstanding

I’ll have a ton on Cal being back just in time to be sold in Jan.

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.

 

[oldfiver]

Despite the rage, I dont think it's overly bad.

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!

 

[chiefdave]

its the positivity on here that keeps me going

And the rage about clear wind up accounts on Twitter and their rumours.

 

[oldfiver]

Who to? The offers hardly flew in did they. Except from Clubs with no money

 

[Corrado]

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!!

 

[Happy_Martian]

Move on!

Only thing we can do now. Support the lads on the pitch through thick and thin.

 

[ceetee]

The club statement does not preclude signing free agents after the deadline

 

[AOM]

Yeah could have been worse. Could have been better.

Still staying up until 12 though.

Last minute bid into Babestation

 

[steve101]

You would have thought we would have sorted a loan move for one of our 5 keepers!

 

[clint van damme]

I'm going to bed, fully expect to wake up in the morning g to the news that Gyokeres has been sold.

Gonna get worse when we lose to Norwich and West Brom.. that’ll be 5 losses in a row with Luton away after that.

Move on mate.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

The meltdown on Twitter is brilliant to watch.

NEWS: Coventry City conclude transfer window business

Have a good sleep g

 

[hill83]

“Big 3” still makes me cringe

BIG 3

 

[tomreagan84]

SBB and BD have been awfully quiet tonight.

They’re being interviewed for the Bournemouth jobs.

 

[Tommo1993]

I’d like to wish you all good luck. Seven gods be on our side, that we don’t have an injury curse.

 

[steve101]

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.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

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.
