Well SP said he Preferred 4-4-2 so there is hope yet.
Mind you when the question was put to him he was asked if he had ever thought of playing 1-1-8 got a good laugh.
Yeah there is certainly a time and a place for it, but from MK onwards we were dreadful playing it. Both the Posh and Orient games reminded me of the first part of last year, we can only hope the defence (REDA) can hold stronger than last year.
Southampton sold nearly their whole first team. They replaced them and are now doing fantastic this season. And they spent less than they brought in. We sold our strikers. We didn't replace them. We are doing shit.
Just look at the pedigree of what we have replaced him with players on loan who can't get into their home team squads.Firstly, they didn't sell nearly the whole of their first team, so that's crap, and what people are trying to explain to you is, whoever you buy to replace departed players, are a gamble. Southampton weren't to know Pelle would bang the goals in or Wanyama would make such an impact. Even Koeman says he's surprised. We have replaced Wilson and Clarke with different strikers, but atm its not working out. That could easily have happened at Southampton.
Sometimes I wonder if you're genuinely thick, or just disagreeing for disagreements sake.

We had that last year it was called a bomb squad?

Our strikers will start to score. This is a fact.
I know, maybe we should have put a bid in for Pelle and gazumped Southampton.
I believe Madine and Nouble is a top 6 striking partnership however - there is a good chance they will be gone by Jan then we start bringing in the has beens and never were strikers and SISU will be shocked by an even further fall in attendances.
Which ones? If they do it will be far too late for anything but midtable mediocrity.

They might well be...unfortunately we have a lower midtable midfield and a bottom 4 back four, and 2 Sunday league goal keepers

Just look at Notts County. A squad of rejects and flops who currently sit nicely in the play offs. This is a shit league, we can still be promoted.
What drugs you on because I need some of them! This league is wide open yes but were simply not good enough to get into the top 7
Nouble, Jackson and Madine have the quality to score plenty. Both Miller and McQuoid have shown they can finish at this level. Tudgay is well...the less said about him the better atm. Maddison is slowly emerging as a talent. With 30 to play and us being only nine points off the play-offs, this season could yet be an above average one.
Pressley was asked about Wilson at Trust meeting on Monday and confirmed that club needed money, /QUOTE]
ah, the infamous Fisher "we can cover loses at Northampton"

How many has Jackson scored? 2 in 14, miller 2 in 12, Mcqoids done ok 5 in 15, tudguy 0 in 9. Hardly inspires confidence. I think nouble and madine would do ok.
We may only be 9 points off play offs but we know (and we had this debate for the last 2 years) that 73/74 points is usually the benchmark for 6th place. Forget everyone else you just need to get 73/74 points.
That means we need 56/57 points from the next 30 games - 1.87/1.9 points per game which is 86/87 points over a season. That means hitting and maintaining pretty much automatic promotion/top 3 form from now until the end of the season. could afford to lose probably no more than 2-3 in our last 30 games, and have to win at least 17-19 games to achieve that. We simply concede too many goals to go on that type of run for that sustained period.
It's depressing, but true.

And we would be top of the league now.

Can you really see us stringing six or seven wins together with this team? .
No offence to the OP but I f*&king hate threads like this. Yes, SISU are the devil in disguise but we got offered approx £3m deal, three players on loan (despite their quality) for a player who had one good season with us. The lad was going to quadruple his wages. It was a Win-Win-Win for everyone at the time.
You could say Spurs were stupid to sell Bale as he went on to score the winner in the Spanish Cup and ended up scoring whilst winning the Champions League. That's football FFS, get over it!
Still think that we have a good squad
Depends what you mean by 'good'. We are very weak at goalkeeper - probably the most important position in the team.
Can't compare Wilson with bale.another dreadful decision by owners.think he would have got us at least to the championship. Shortsighted and greed comes to mind.No offence to the OP but I f*&king hate threads like this.

You really are pissing in the wind with the morons on here mate.
I forgot your not allowed an opinion on here without the usual bitches biting back..did i slag you off covmark? No i stated the reality of CCFC in 2014.
I hate what commercialism and greed has done to football, and i hate companies using a club as a cloth to clean up the shite they make..
this squad is at least above average..
This squad is undoubtedly the worse squad in post war Coventry City history.

*worst
That may be the case, but in the context of this league it is a strong squad.
Let's just see where we are at Xmas.
Sorry we don't have a strong squad if that was true we would replace the injured and banned players easily, and win most of our games.
BTW we usually do well up to Xmas so that is no marker. It is what we do after Xmas this season that will matter.
