    Reflections on the January Window

    1. After 400 pages of comments nobody spotted either of the two new players or the departure of Fadz to another Championship club. Is that the best effort the best pundits in Coventry can do? 2. Not noticing Torp was understandable. Who'd heard of him? But he does fit totally with the model of...

    Transfer Rumour Ephron Mason-Clark

    O'Hare has actually managed his career quite well. He wants to play 1st team football at the highest level he can. He opts out of Villa for a struggling Championship club, for a number of reasons, but getting regular 1st team must have been the biggest. He could have languished for at least 2...

    Transfer Rumour Ephron Mason-Clark

    Mason-Clark has not been bought to be squad, surely. He replaces Palmer in your set up. For those forever moaners, this is unbelievably strong compared with previous years in the Championship. There have been times during the summer in the recent past that we have needed 5,6 or even 7 new...

    Deadline day Feb 2024

    I'd love to see Moore and Tavares, who clearly are not up to the standard, on their way permanently

    Deadline day Feb 2024

    Nothing. Other clubs know we have money but City are unprepared to do deals that make no commercial sense, even if we want the player.

    Birdie: Kitching, Saka; Collins (the poor distribution was often because of the position he was placed in and the instructions he is under) The save prevented a defeat. Par: MvE, Thomas, Bidwell, Palmer, O'Hare Bogey: Lati & Eccles. The midfield went awol for 45 minutes. What on earth...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Bristol City FC Match Thread - Tuesday 30th Jan

    Gibbo's 5 Take aways 1. First 45 minutes was so turgid I was beginning to regret the 4.5 hour round trip to get to and from the match and wondered why I had tickets for future games. Static football, no answer to their press, and a goal that had we conceded would have had this thread apoplectic...

    Uber for Matt?

    Last night when I commented to my neighbor that Simms was putting in a much better shift than Godden, he replied that Simms had had better service, which was true in part but Simms imho put himself in places where he could be passed to. But it was criminal that nobody was at the near post for...

    Tough game. The best team surely includes Eccles, Simms and Wright with Torp and Godden on the bench. 1-0.

    O’Hare to L*cester

    ...if three are bidding, better to start a bidding war and cash in. Long and medium term the money is more use to us, as he will almost certainly, leave on a freebie at the end of the season otherwise. Just because SISU have gone, gates are up and we are sitting on some Hamer money does not mean...

    Slightly surprised if Torp included, so soon after all the Robins' expectations management down played the likelihood. The six incoming - Wilson, Lati, Binks, Da Silva, Simms & Allen. Lose 2-1.

    Transfer targets

    ...bet they all say that. Then before you know it, the line has been lifted across the board. We have to be sustainable, it is actually more important than promotion

    Transfer targets

    ....worried about the wage bill going forward. That is where big spending Championship clubs come unstuck if they don't get promoted- see Derby but there are others. Best to find lower ticket Europeans

    Intimately involved in both goals yesterday. Ran the length of the pitch to be involved twice in the second....after an hour

    Strikes me Palmer is a 'Marmite' character, as there are clearly a number of irreconcilables on here who will never be convinced. I have always been a fan - old fashioned tricky midfielder. But yesterday he was involved closely in both goals. It was his flick that caused chaos in the defence...
