    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    Pretty even game so far. Both could have scored but decent defending by Norwich. Saka has done ok except seems a bit hesitant to cross, confidence maybe? Simms not involved enough. MIdfield have done ok I think. This is there for the taking.

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Last week’s match thread had almost every poster saying that our defence was awful and had to be added to. Today every poster is saying the midfield is awful and has to be added to. Is this all a bit knee-jerk? Maybe a couple of the midfielders had a bad game? Maybe last week the defenders had a...

    Kasey Palmer

    He can frustrate but I's always rather have him than not. He really is hugely talented and reads the game so well. When he gets those passes right he can split a defence better than any of our other players. I think his work off the ball is underestimated too, he tracks and tackles and sometimes...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    I wasn't able to watch the game against Oxford but it sounded like we attacked amazingly and couldn't defend. Seemed to be the opposite today. Well maybe not quite but we were reasonably solid in defence (although rescued by Dovin a couple of times) and a bit blunt going forward. Maybe Bristol...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    I have to say I thought Palmer was excellent today. People are always on his back but I think he's a really important player for us and I really hope he doesn't leave as some suggest. Not just his goal but his passing and running are great. People say he's lazy and doesn't win the ball back but...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    It wasn't great to watch today and althought their goal should have been disallowed and their 8 should have been sent off, I think we did well to get a draw. But I don't really think it was so bad that we should be talking about the team like they're useless and haven't got a clue. People...

    I watched the game with the Sky commentators who were absolutely awful, worse than Clive and Oggy for getting players' names wrong and very under-educated about our tem.

    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    This is definitely a shock signing, especially given the clamour for defenders and defensive midfielders. I can only imagine that Robins recognises that our season tailed off last season, possibly because of our lack of depth. He has just decided to pack the squad out a bit. 6 coming in and only...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    Didn’t you say that your dressing room contact (Godden) had left and you no longer had intel? Is this a guess? I think it’ll be right probably

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I’ve been reading this thread all summer without contributing much. I’m amazed by how much people repeat the same thing. The generally accepted position is that we need another defender and another midfielder. People are so desperate for signings. There’s one guy on here who says we need a CM...

    Almost a completely changed team, only 2 of the same starters as Sat. Still looks like a decent side though. Shows our depth now. We will win tonight

    Can someone tell me who Camera is? Everyone seems to know but there are loads of players called Camera. Thanks

    Respectfully mate, I would change your user name if I were you. ‘Mong’ isn’t really ok these days. For some reason Coventry seems to be a place where it is a popular slur.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I think it would be a huge mistake if the club were to cash in on either Simms or Wright. Given how long it took them to really get going it feels like we’ve only had half a season of them both playing well. I think the club will hold onto them both for at least another year and see if we can...

    I'm not sure people are making excuses, I just think people are say that it'll be ok and it's not the end of the world.
