    Collins must start in goal on Boxing day!

    Know what you mean... but he is a highly paid professional goalkeeper. He knows the deal about what to expect when he underperforms. I was not at the game and have not seen it on highlights etc. but there were comments on the match thread about him having a bit of a joke with Pompey players...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Think we will do less business than many are hoping for... Tyler Bindon is possible as we could include Tavares as part of a player plus cash deal (Reading wanted him in the summer). I think it will be him (or similar) and a left back, that's it. Only thing which could change that will be if...

    Waiting for the Dust to settle…

    Starting to think we may as well try Binks at full back if Bidwell is not fit enough...

    Rudoni …?

    I for one am delighted to eat humble pie over comments made about him in October (questioned his effort, not ability, that was never in question). What is most pleasing about him (and Torp TBF) is that he is getting on the end of crosses now as well as providing decent ones. The appointment of...

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 11th Dec

    I think we will play quite well tonight, but Saturday's exertions will take their toll eventually. Narrow 1-2 defeat I think.

    Liam Kitching

    He is bound to get a game or two over the busy Xmas / New Year period. Way too early to write him off. Think Lampard and his staff will have an honest chat with him and help him develop further.

    FA Cup 3rd Round Draw - Monday 2/12

    Worth recalling Kitching to 'sort out' some of their players regardless of whether we go through...!

    Match Thread Coventry City - Cardiff City Match Thread - Saturday 30th Nov

    You may well be on to something there... as much as Sheaf has been a really good player for us at times, I think he is playing with an ongoing injury and needs time to recover from it (again...)

    Match Thread Burnley FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th November 19.45 ko

    We were ok at the weekend, but there is no denying that our piss poor defence is going to lead us into real trouble unless addressed in Jan transfer window... we just need a couple of competent defenders then we will at least be safe this season... What a depressing thing to type after the...

    Match Thread Burnley FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th November 19.45 ko

    So, Da Silva.... ok as a squad player who we can bring on further up the field on the left if absolutely needed, but as a starter... FFS... it should be obvious by now, surely...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Surprised at lack of respect shown for John Eustace on here. He won't get the job but we could do a lot worse than him.

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    Looking at current results of the poll, I think new manager is on a bit of a hiding to nothing... If 4 out of ten fans EXPECT playoffs as a minimum they will be under pressure right from the start... Are those expectations realistic?

    Right who's the next manager then?

    If we were going to appoint a L1 manager, I'd prefer for it to be Nigel Clough, not Bloomfield... Never going to happen in a million years though.

    Rudoni …?

    Huge credit to Rudoni, really good, improved & effective performance and let's hope we have stumbled on the right formula to get the best out of him. Was thinking in pre-season that I could see Bobby Thomas thriving on JR's deliveries at set pieces: if we can get him to whip in dangerous...

    Our squad

    I have questioned Rudoni's effort on here this week, not his ability. I think that criticism is fair. Don't think he is a shit player though, far from it. He definitely has the potential to be a good signing for us in the long term.

    Rudoni …?

    For all the problems we currently have, I find Rudoni's consistent under performance the thing which makes me most angry... Some players are getting pelters for snatched passes / mis-control etc. which to a certain extent is understandable. However, I think Rudoni is just shirking...

    Robins has to go…

    Very much still in the 'give it more time' group. Think EMC has been written off prematurely - given more time on the left side of attack I think he will show more quality. Kitching needs to concentrate better - it is far too easy for strikers to play off the shoulder against him currently...

    Robins has to go…

    Seems a lot of people have written Robins off already... prematurely in my view... key issue at the moment is conceding goals through lack of concentration / willingness to track runners. A bit shocked at how eager some of our fans are to throw Robins under the bus... Currently, I would have...

    Goal Analysis

    Several players guilty of not tracking back or engaging with runners with genuine intent to win the ball. Has happened a few times this year. Results can and will improve but only when basics like this are addressed.

    Robins

    Have not read whole thread (just 1st page), can't be arsed. We live in a very 'knee jerk response' society now. Overall the transfer window was good for us, it is not so long ago a key player would have been sold right at the end (ie Sheaf / MVE). Obviously the lack of a new defensive...
