The thing about that us, I can't see any of our players attracting other teams that aren't replaceable bar fleck. Praying he signs a new deal

We have options to extend the loans of all of them if the players want to.

And coulibaly. All 3 were 6 months loans. Not sure how useful those 3 are. Alsopp doesn't look a good goalkeeper to me well put it simpler don't see why he starts over a permanate lee burge who is our future. Burge actually commands the area for one.
Coulibaly hasn't played any league match I believe and mcquiod is ok with a few goals but wouldn't be majorly missed so yes send all 3 back and keep noble. Put burge in goal and sign some good players to see us through the season.

I'll admit to to thinking that.. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong though.
Early days I know but we looked a reasonable outfit yesterday for this level. Nice unbeaten run developing. I'd take 4 points from the next two matches and set us up for the next home game. Pressley has done well in attracting who he has to CCFC, especially under the circumstances.

At Shitfields I think we would have struggled. Think I predicted lower mid-table. There's a feel good factor about the place now.
Suspect being told a return to the Ricoh was likely played a part in convincing quality players like O'Brien and Jackson to sign.

If the Titanic was painted sky blue it would never have gone down.
What has happened twice after hearing that for many years?

I'd guess under Adams when we finished 8th?
Or maybe the season we were relegated from the championship?

Didn't we do just as well at the start of last season and ended up flirting with relegation. A lot can happen between now and the end of the season. I hope we stay where we are or move up but all it takes is a few defeats or draws, then people will be saying 'six games without a win' instead of 'six games undefeated'.

Try looking at the reason.
We had two strikers scoring for fun. One got sold. One got injured. No fit strikers at the club . Defence leaking goals. Defender used up front. End of season.
Which is why many of us are worried about what happens in January.

Flirting with relegation was due to 10 points down however.
But yeah, still not overly optimistic as not sure what depth is in the squad but... a move back makes me more optimistic than before!

The squad at this stage is stronger than last season's.

Worse forwards, better defenders, jury out on midfield (depending on whether O'Brien keeps going or not v Baker and Moussa).
Youngsters a year wiser, but worse keeper.
Still not convinced we've a better squad than last season. What we haven't had however is the loss of ten points, and the shock of a move to Northampton.

All the fools who were saying we're going to be around the relegation zone this year. You were wrong. I was right.

Every season is a marathon not a sprint. What has stood out from the games so far though is how much more energy we seem to have going forward. Players not afraid to run at defenders, not afraid to try shots from anywhere, not afraid to press defenders. There will be setbacks to come but it's a bright start for sure.
You do worry about the impact of an injury to fleck, o'brien or one of the back 3.

Game of fine margins in this league. Jim O briens effort from distance drops in rather than hits the bar making it 2-0 after half hour, we would have gone on comfortably and like the Gills game, we could and nearly did concede 1 or 2. The first 7 games have been impressive. Considering the teams we have played, only lost 1, It's a foundation. Most managers say first 10 games is the first indication but we all know CCFC are generally consistently inconsistent so we will see.

7 games in. Come on let's get real. It's a decent start for sure but I look at each point as being closer to safety.
That's just me as a Coventry fan talking. Sad really.

Lets face it, we get beat 2-3 times in the next couple of games and we will find ourselves in the wrong end of the table so i am not getting too carried away just yet. We are grinding out results which is a positive but we are heavily reliant on loanees which means our team could drastically change in 6 months time and potentially upset the momentum (or add to it who knows!).
Last season was an example of how we fizzled out from a playoff potential spot to close to relegation, unfortunately we cannot predict what the parent clubs of the loan guys will do or the further actions of SISU for that matter.
