    More branding at CBS

    1) Wifi is working and a lot better 2) Branding is a great idea and does feel more CCFC, however one of the big images on the walls from last year is of three loan players not here this year!!

    Hamer

    Still feel the way this played out has left a biter taste. Also; 1) Viks goodbye shits on Hamer (which is a surprise) 2) He’s gone now. Let’s all move and please no stupid tribute songs to him today!!

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    Re the box, it certainly suits us and I’m a fan, but it means leaving one of our two big money signings, and hope game changers, on the bench. The Wright / Simms combination will be dangerous.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    Sad thing is, unless we score early it’s guaranteed to happen. Unfortunately I expect Simms to get some stick the first mistake he makes and absolutely bizarrely there’s some absolute tosser near me who like to moan about Sheaf constantly - I imagine he’s the sort who enjoys 4-4-2 and is wowed...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    Despite the Hamer news I’m really excited for tomorrow. It has to be Sheaf and Eccles in the middle with MVE RWB, but it won’t be. I know MVE looks a fair way off as it stands, but tomorrow against a weaker Boro team might be the game to give him a go. We need as many creative outlets as we can...

    Hamer

    Stand by what I said earlier; he’s been a fantastic player for us and I absolutely wish he was staying so we could build a team around him. +all the deserved platitudes ++all the well wishes However, rightly or wrongly I cannot help feeling slightly bitter about the whole saga and the...

    Hamer

    Clearly it’s massively gutting from an on pitch perspective, he’s pivotal to how we play and is a genuine game changer. He’ll absolutely be missed. However, financially that’s a great deal. More money into the pot for MR to continue to build and add to the impressive squad he’s compiled so far...

    Match Thread AFC Wimbledon v Coventry

    Surprisingly more frustrated than expected. I don’t particularly care about the cup (although a cup run would have been good for various reasons), but that was a strong team out tonight with players who should be wanting to stake a claim. Great we created chances, but we missed them again...

    More branding at CBS

    Saw a bit of this today - not particularly innovative (and not even sure what innovative would be in this instance) - but it 100% feels more like a CCFC stadium. Good progress! Pitch looked good too.

    Dhillons lounge at the CBS

    I sat in there today (not for a beer unfortunately) - it’s the opposite end to the main entrance (i.e. by the casino) on the left hand side.

    Has seeing the lads play made you more or less optimistic about the season

    Definitely more so. Mentioned it on the match thread, but we showed signs we’re definitely going to play football more this year. Yet when we went direct we still looked a threat, despite having no Gyokeres. The ability to adjust how we play and hit teams with both styles is a big plus...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Leicester City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 6th Aug

    Obviously disappointing to lose, but plenty of positives to take from that. We looked good and our counter attacking style is still promising even without Vik, while we also played football more. If we have the ability to do both this year it’s a big big positive. It is game one with several...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Is he actually getting pelters from people on social media? Thank God I’m not on Twitter if so. Absolutely no way he should be written off. He didn’t have the best overall game today, but he showed clear glimpses of what he’ll offer. Him and Wright will be a handful for defences this year, if...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Leicester City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 6th Aug

    I was out last night so missed it all - my post yesterday escalated and sparked unexpected debate! Different perspectives are always good, but some absolute dinosaur thinking. And for the record, no need to worry I’m not under the thumb or being controlled. I have decided to prioritise my...

    Haha more about me ensuring a still have a ‘babe’! She has agreed to drive tomorrow though so I can watch it en route. Compromise and all that

    Match Thread ⚽️ Leicester City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 6th Aug

    Honestly cannot describe how gutted I am to have had to sell my ticket for tomorrow. It is my partners birthday and celebratory plans changed pretty last minute meaning I can't attend live tomorrow. It is her birthday so in that sense it is fair enough, but the tease of it all fitting together...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Said it after we signed van Ewijk, and it’s entirely appropriate - if not more so now - what a time to be a Coventry fan. Expectations are going to be high, and rightly so - I’m sure we’ll fulfill them. However fans will need to show some patience while the team builds an understanding.

    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    Panzo would be a great addition. Technically very good and comfortable on the ball. He is a solid defender and actually showed in several games last year he’s a very good defender and is capable of dominating opposing players. He loses concentration and is clearly a confidence player. Both...

    I shall try! I did warn I may ‘disappear’ to the toilet/bar a few times! And I can’t complain too much, while all chains at least we’re sampling a few of the bars around Broadgate - not been here for a while.

    Coventry gigs

    Believe it or not, I’m at the Empire for an Anne Marie gig tonight. I genuinely don’t know any of her songs - it was one of those where my partner asked and I just agreed! However I’m back again on Saturday for Jake Bugg - really excited about that one! And a few drinks before too; going to...
