Just hope we can either hold onto everyone first team or get enough to add quality in several positions if we do lose someone.
Feeling quite positive about the first XI, but we’ve got three more loans we could use and it’d be nice to get some cover in across the pitch.
Slightly concerning we didn’t trust Jones to make an impact over Allen when chasing the game yesterday and that Bright still isn’t around the first team. If they aren’t going to make it maybe an AM loan in, maybe a ST until Jan while Walker and Godden are recovering. CM obviously a concern while Kelly and Eccles are out.
What do we reckon this last loan is then?
I reckon a CM. MR will see were missing a James'esque player there and hopefully try and remedy
It’s a real shame short term loans aren’t a thing any more, a CM and a ST for a month would be perfect.
Why? By the time they find their feet they would be gone.
It’s a LWB, he’s said this multiple times. Said a CM will wait until Jan.
Sky Blues boss wants one more and looks to January window
The Sky Blues have made seven senior signings so far this summer and Mark Robins is hopeful of adding one more this month before continuing the club's recruitment in Januarywww.coventrytelegraph.net
In fairness, the Telegraph have contradicted themselves on this (shock, horror) so can understand the confusion.
They initially said we were targeting a CM & had given up on a 2nd LWB, now they've flipped it. One from the CC84 playbook meaning they're right either way (and ignoring the fact that they are also wrong either way too).
Pretty sure we all agree the CM position is much more important to get covered than LWB
Ryan Giles would have been perfect ;-) Can cover LWB, AML, AMRTBH we’ve only got options at AM if Jones and Bright can get mentally and physically fit both of which are huge question marks. So I’m not yet massively happy there either.
Someone who could cover both AM and CM, or a LWB who can cover RWB or LCB would be ideal.

End of July, just before Maatsen signed...

Seems a bit odd to get 2 LWBs on loan, gonna be hard to keep them both happy and not disrupt the squad like it was with Giles and McCallum. Would Reid be that bad a backup? I trust in Robins obviously but would like a another CM option at least until Kelly and Eccles areback
Pretty good call I reckonI think Maatsen showed us yesterday what a good player he is and is going to be and with the left sided Salter-Clarke next to him will improve so do we need another on loan LWB ahead of another midfielder not sure we do, permanent maybe I don’t want a repeat of last season with two loaned in young LWBs one hardly being used at the expense of possibly an attacking midfield player to me that’s just a waste of a loan place.
Probably decided he's not good enough or not ready for first team footballGiven we changed our minds about loaning Reid back so he could be cover last season after Giles was recalled, what changes to stop him being the same this season?
Tom Carroll has signed for Ipswich
If they dont win L1 by 20 points and gain a record points tally theyve failed
He has started to make comments that may suggest that in recent interviewsSo has Robins switched targets now with IM at LWB and capturing JCS who can also play in that position?

So was the long term target a defender or midfield?

At least I have some mates unlike you.
