The big clubs scoop up all the talent in the lower leagues and have upto 30 players in or around their first team but 3 first team players get Covid they call a game off! Tell them to get on with it. It’s ok to play a team like Coventry in a cup game and rest 7 players but Covid comes up it’s a disaster.I mentioned it on another thread. People keep mentioning these loans from the premier League, but with Covid as it is clubs are going to be hoarding players in case of further outbreaks, we have already seen teams decimated by covid, it won't help if they loan out their bright talents. There will be a lot less activity in January than planned for almost all clubs.
I reckon Eccles will feature more once he’s up and running. You’re right though, we wouldn’t miss the others. Could argue Shipley needs to go somewhere…has he had any minutes at all this season?If dacosta, Reid, drysdale, pask, Eccles, all went out on loan our match day squad wouldn’t really be any weaker, and you hope we could get a first team starter in for that budget freed up
My thoughts exactly and as usual under joy think we are well underspending overall.Appreciate he usually keeps his cards close to his chest but seems like our esteemed owners aren’t willing to provide any help to bring in some needed reinforcements to this squad. This despite crowds having consistently exceeded the break even figure, a bumper ST sale and injections from a host of Sky appearances. We will probably not get as good a chance as this again for a long time and it wouldn’t require much to provide the extra bits of quality needed.
Bit disappointing to be honest.
Coventry City boss says he will only sell for the right money
City's resolve may well be tested this month if offers come in for any of the club's star playerswww.coventrytelegraph.net
Fair play to Carl Robinson [Oxford Utd] had 7 players out with covid 5 injured and 1 suspended,but still put out a team against visiting Wigan!The big clubs scoop up all the talent in the lower leagues and have upto 30 players in or around their first team but 3 first team players get Covid they call a game off!

The attitude of the likes of Joy & Fisher is so important obviously there’s no guarantee of a play off spot but is it worth a gamble or call it investment which in itself is another word for gamble I’d say yes, But I worry about their long term attitude getting to the promised land is the goal and dream for all of us lots of money to come into the club but lots of outlay too just to try and stay in, do sisu want that, not sure to be honest.
The club will probably use any extra revenue received this year as a chance to make up some of the losses from covid , with us not looking likely to go down , there's probably no better time than now to be frugal
I’d actually argue the opposite
I mean I'm open to either avenue the club decide to take , both hold risks , I just feel that the " hope for the best " scenario probably is the safest financially

In which case we would be choosing a strategy of the manager having to work miracles every season otherwise we head back where we came from. Barnsley case in point.
We know that anyway don't we ? Different model entirely to Barnsley though ..isn't it

There isn’t a model
Ok mate
I think this season is a crossroads for our club and will illustrate our owner lately full of smiles if she is negative she’s finished here imo.

Overstayed her welcome for a long time imoIt’s how you get her out that’s the problem. Though she can’t see that one season in the top flight is enough for her to recoup everything, sell up at a profit and piss off.
Trouble is it’s not getting her out, it’s getting them out and who are them ?
We are seeing a number of possibles gathering round to buy a basket case (at the moment) club like Derby yet know one seems to come within a million miles of us, are we that expensive ? we have issues but surely not impossible to correct.

Its impossible as there is little momentum in getting them out. If you did a poll even on here the majority would back her

Surely you can not be right on that.Its impossible as there is little momentum in getting them out. If you did a poll even on here the majority would back her

I agree that there is little to nothing happening to get them out. But even our fickle lot must want rid of SISU. They are still a bunch of blood sucking leeches.
Grendel mate, I am an old git and a technophobe. I wouldn’t have a clue how to .Do the poll - I think you will be very surprised
