    Rose out injured for 'weeks, if not months'

    Really bad news for us as he is one of the few players who offers a goal threat! TM says that recent injuries mean we 'may have to adjust our targets' - am hoping that doesn't mean we end up with the equivalent of Hunt, Henderson and Ramage as quick stop-gap solutions... Lets hope the knock...

    Match Thread Bradford v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 20th Aug

    I only listened to the game, but it seemed to me that Gadshev should have been the one to come off, not Agyei However, that wouldn't have stopped Turnbull conceding the penalty etc. etc.

    Why no Spence on the bench? Is he injured too - if not, he must feel very hard done by...

    Would be pleased if it was Kevin Long, but it's unlikely as there's Championship interest (Bristol City had a bid turned down, might try to loan him instead)

    Think we'll battle out a 1-1 draw, probably score from a set piece

    McBean deal next week

    Done deal: 5 month international loan - edit - according to NewsNow site, but CCFC website says 'page does not exist' Hopefully just a technical glitch and we have signed him...

    Things aren't great, but I'm still very glad we have Mowbray in charge: he is far more likely to be able to pull off decent loan signings late in the transfer window than many other L1 managers. I think back to when we rushed out and bought Malaga and Edjenguele... Shudder... All too easy to go...

    Could be worse

    Back on topic, Hussey is a weird one: can be excellent going forward from deep and has got a great set piece delivery, but seems to forget to defend at all...

    Could be worse

    Like a couple of others here, I was relieved we got a point last night (yes, I know how desperate that is, especially since we thrashed them 6-0 last time) Some will look at us signing Turnbull and moan that we're not signing an attacker, but actually we do need a player like him badly...

    Jones needs to be rested

    Good point Cerio - in fact I think that is a better idea than relying on Spence to produce an end product...

    Jones needs to be rested

    Know it's only 3 games in, but opposition seem to realise that kicking him out of the game stops our main attacking threat. Concerned that he could pick up a serious injury (he was limping again last night) if we persist with him. Not ideal - we are very toothless without him. Desperate times...

    Jordan Turnbull

    YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! (as Keiren Crowley would have put it on the Sky Blues Wall) My surname is Turnbull (like Gaz71 & my dad who posts on here, Pete in Portugal) and I very much look forward to hearing the CWR commentators shout his name for a goal - so long as it isn't for a ridiculous OG at...

    Gaps in the squad...

    Anyone else hoping we re-sign Jack Stephens on loan? As well central defence he can play right wing back and also (possibly) defensive midfield. If we're going to have a small squad I think he would be a great player to have (even though I think we need a dominant centre half more urgently)

    Kyle Reid

    Last summer many felt that we'd signed one of the best League 1 defensive midfielders in Vincelot, this summer we are hopefully getting one of the best wide players. We have already replaced RV with McCann (for 6 months anyway). When Swansea went up they relied heavily on Nathan Dyer (and...

    That's enough

    According to Matty Roper's report, RV wanted to leave Not exactly shocking to sell a player in that situation...

    Lee Burge???

    Every time the opposition get a free kick within 25 yard of goal, there is a strong possibility Burge will let it in. It keeps happening because he positions himself too far to the other side of the goal from where the wall is. Surely Oggy must have noticed this too...? His reactions are good...

    Overhyped Player

    Greg Downs Harsh to mention a popular cup winner with us, I know, but opposition teams used to target him regularly because of his lack of pace. Obviously John Sillett rated him highly and his commitment was never in doubt. (Also I admit I appreciated him more when we signed Paul Edwards as his...

    Signing Number 3!

    Don't think Bigi is as bad as some are making out. He does give away possession more than most, but often because he is attempting ambitious forward passes. Much rather have him than Connor Thomas in our squad. Even if he's not having the best of games, he doesn't hide, which so many...

    Euro 2016 big thread

    Though Henderson's crossing let him down tonight, I don't think his performance was as bad as others are making out. Unlucky not score with that volley which was well blocked too... As for Wilshire, thought he really was poor. Gave away possession frequently and not physical enough. Unlike...

    Wow... Never been called that one before! FWIW I absolutely despise rugby (always have done, always will). I find it sickening to see the Wasps logo on our stadium and am surprised at the level of indifference towards Wasps merchandise being sold on our match days. Sometimes, situations are so...
