Hello Sky Blues Talk The first part of my article suggesting a January signing for every Championship club includes Coventry. Perhaps a slightly left-field choice but interested to see if you agree the player I've picked is in a position that needs reinforcements...

Do you reckon Gyokeres moves on? News on him seems to have gone a little quiet.

I don’t see the hype with Sheff United. The depth isn’t really there and I’ll be surprised if Hamer stays. I’m not convinced by Wilder either.

Losing Summerville is a big concern for Leeds but they players who should step up/return from loan are decent. If Joseph starts over Piroe that will make them much better at pressing from the front and improve Rutter as well. Aaronson is another decent option for the attack. In a slightly weaker...

Definitely agree about Hull being a year behind. Not sure if you read this when I posted it here on May but there’s a bit of a comparison. Coventry City's patient progress

The standard in the top two this season will be lower than last year but beyond that things will be stronger. I’m looking forward to watching it as a neutral for once!

I have them 20th but their squad has been completely gutted. I don’t think their owner is particularly patient either so I can’t see him doing what Cov have done and taking a year to rebuild.

Hello Sky Blues Talk Thanks for all the positive comments when I posted my Coventry article on here in May. Thought I'd post my two-part Championship season predictions piece on here as well. How are you all feeling for the upcoming season? Without spoiling things, I think you're in a very...

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I definitely won't become that supporter, I assure you! I'm delighted we're up but the Championship as a spectacle is vastly superior so I'm looking forward to watching it next year. It's going to be extremely competitive.

Thanks mate

Cheers mate Yep, the foundations are certainly stronger than they were. There's no longer such a wild variation in quality between the best players and the weakest ones. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi folks Thanks for the positive comments on my last piece in January. For those who didn't see it I'm an Ipswich Town fan who writes a blog about the EFL. Just popping on here as I've written another piece about Coventry and how I think this season the club put in some really solid...

It's admirable to want to produce your own players but given the financial disadvantage of non-parachute clubs ignoring loans is self-defeating. Even the relegated teams use them; Leeds with Rodon and Roberts, Southampton with Downes and Harwood-Bellis, Leicester with Fatawu. The sweet spot is...

Yeah probably have to make Southampton favourites at this point but purely in terms of business I think we’ve improved the most. Being without Sheaf will be tough. It’s quite a favourable fixture run for the next few weeks though and none of the other playoff contenders seem capable of...

Glad to see Mason Clark move to Coventry, as per my suggestion! Maybe a bit frustrating he hasn’t joined straight away but it would’ve been difficult to prize him away from Peterborough in the middle of the promotion hunt. As for my own team, I’m very happy with our window too. Given the...
