Would 1000 people bet that kind of money on the new Coventry manager without having some kind of insight or knowledge of the situation?

Anyone with less than a couple of seasons’ experience as a manager is a huge risk, especially if they don’t have any coaching experience at a high level. I don’t think anyone would be suggesting Keane if he hadn’t played for us before, and I don’t think sentiment should play that much into our...

Of course it does, and I agree our xG stats suggest there are better performances likely ahead. But there is no guarantee of it coming to pass and the first 15 games have put us at a huge disadvantage. A one-point gap is much easier to close than an 8-point one, and whether that’s for a team...

I don’t think the squad needs ripping up but I think we can all see that changes are needed, and any new manager will expect to be able to bring in new players. We effectively finished mid-table last year and I seem to recall quite a lot of hope about this current season. If a new manager comes...

There are ten teams outside the top six in this supposedly weak division who are currently in an even more advantageous position. What makes you so convinced they are all likely to underachieve for the rest of the season as we turn things round en route to the playoffs?

You get a new manager in now and give them the rest of the season and two transfer windows to remake the squad and the playing style. You then remove any excuses for a slow start at the beginning of next season, with the goal of properly going for it in 25/26.

I think if a new manager can come in and bed in a style of football that makes the most of the squad’s talent and has us consistently performing at a level that would get us into the playoffs on a full-season basis, then that would be a marked improvement over the past 12 months, even if it...

As others have said, it would take automatic promotion form to guarantee a playoff spot from here - would be lovely if a new manager can come straight in and do that, but as a “bare minimum”?

Can we rename the playoff option “Instant Success”?

More concerned with Bobby Thomas lunging in AGAIN and getting nowhere it. He was still on his hands and knees inside the Sunderland half by the time the ball went in!

He would never have been expecting a shot at that moment and it left his boot at incredible speed. It was one of the best goals we’ll concede all season.

I don’t see anything wrong with our GK coaching. For some reason our manager (and fans) decided to completely write off two keepers off the back of a handful of errors.

Both keepers on the pitch today looked like perfectly solid #1 options for a Championship side, and yet we’ve bombed both of them out for no real reason. Completely baffling how we’ve handled the GK situation over the past couple of years.

Collins 7 MOTM Two excellent saves kept us in the game Thomas 5 Useless on the ball and caught out completely for their second Binks 5 Long range passing is fine but sloppy short game Kitching 6 The only CB I actually trust on the ball MVE 5 Not really a standout player at RWB...

Game’s gone soft if that’s a red card - he was always going to make that challenge.

Rudoni doesn’t play with anything like the intensity of O’Hare, we have no-one capable of linking the play at speed. He’s got a great delivery on him but I don’t see what he offers beyond that.

We’re playing a system that neuters some of our best attacking threats (MVE and Wright) and exposes the shortcomings of others. The midfield three are all in roles they’re completely incapable of playing.

Every single available defender in the squad makes the starting XI!

There was no setup - organisationally we were a shambles. It’s why what Robins and Badlan achieved here was so impressive. Great while it lasted, but not exactly a recipe for success.
