So you agree that statistically he is top 3 in the world then currently? You must be on the same drugs then! He was clever, but he’s also clearly far far better than anything we’ve had and will have for a very long time.

That happened at Brentford before they got promoted, they sold better players and bedded in new ones. and statistically yes, Gyokeres is top 3. I thought you were big on facts? Or does that not suit your argument this time?

I think people’s beef is your need to sensationalise everything.. The team has regressed, but I think it’s a case of taking a few steps back to go forwards. We were *extremely* lucky the last couple of seasons with recruitment. Gyokeres is a 100m€ striker and current top 3 in the world. Hamer is...

Praet maybe? Ex Leicester CM

Well, having the best CM in the division coming back, might have a significant impact.

The problems really aren’t as deep as some are making out. The problem is quite simply the midfield. Nothing to do with coaching methods or systems. Whatever system we play we will be poor because the midfield just isn’t good enough. If you took Eccles and Torp out and swapped them with Hamer...

I don’t get the flack Wright is getting. He’s literally been our only morsel of any attacking intent whatsoever across the 4 league games.

I’m not buying this too many cooks synopsis. I’m sure bigger clubs than us I.e Man City Utd etc etc, in fact probably all of the premier league clubs have more staff than we do. This isn’t Sunday league.

Assuming Saddle is correct and Sheaf is injured. Dovin MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell Allen Eccles Rudoni Tats Simms Wright

Tbf, it is abit deflating, yes we've spent a considerable amount of money to achieve top 6 and we have exceptional forward options. But we have to get the ball to them. The midfield has got progressively worse. We’ve gone from the box of Sheaf* Hamer O’Hare Palmer to Torp Eccles Allen Rudoni...

Personally think on the face of it and in hindsight it’s a poor decision letting him go. Whatever you thought of him, he could sometimes give us the edge and spark us into life I.e Bristol City. All we’ve done is weaken ourselves and options whilst strengthening a rival.

I think that with the money Doug has sanctioned for Robins and the recruitment team to use, he’s within his right to be somewhat annoyed if the midfield get turned over week in week out and we miss out on the play offs again.

Ahh well, off to bed, see you all tomorrow.

Wish they’d just put us out of our misery 😂

Tbf, we do need more forwards.

Good point well made

Tbf, I don’t think it’s through lack of trying… I think we’re actually trying to sign top players with real quality. However it pains me to say it, but because of our recent SISU tenure and the absolute shambles that it was. Top players still look at us and think, Coventry City? Nah mate.

This day smells of trying all day, targets falling through, get to 9.30pm and we sack it off with “That concludes our business”

The issue we face, it’s that we have Sheaf this year, so ideally we needed to supplement the midfield adequately to have a real good go. Next season we will still have this CM problem, coupled with the fact we will have an extremely tough task to replace Sheaf.

Apology accepted, now let me dream 😂
