We got lucky last night. We were 2nd best but sun shone our arse last night haji wright needed a goal he couldn't really miss after the Huddersfiekd miss.

We were 2nd best but sun shone our arse last night haji wright needed a goal he couldn't really miss after the Huddersfiekd miss.Yea, the way we were pushed back so easily by Huddersfield and Blackburn was worrying, we could so easily of conceded a late equaliser again last night.
Losing Kelly was a blow, but we need someone else who can put their foot on the ball and calm things down. And a striker with genuine pace would give us another outlet.
When everyone is back, Palmer gets nowhere near the team.Two week break after Norwich after which we should start seeing Sheaf, MVE, Palmer etc coming back into it… dare I say even O’Hare knocking on the door too
It might be an opportunity to see Latibeaudiere as one of the holding midfielders
He'll be subs bench for sure. I think he's a very good option to have from the bench.When everyone is back, Palmer gets nowhere near the team.
He starts Saturday if he was still hereI think it was a mistake to let Howley go out on loan.
Oh I agree Martin, he needed a loanAgain hindsight is a brilliant thing , apparently he is doing brilliantly out on loan and is already a firm fans favourite.
So while it might be nice he was here to play one game , the bigger picture is he has a great season out on loan and comes back ready to push for a regular start
Oh I agree Martin, he needed a loan
Since we lost O’Hare on Boxing Day, I’m struggling to think of many home games where we’ve played anyone off the park. We do let teams onto us and then counter. When it doesn’t work you get games like Stoke last season and shit patches of play this season (Huddersfield 2nd half) . We play our expansive stuff away from home.
If you're dyslexic, fair enough, but this does read like a drunk person sounds.We got lucky last night. We were 2nd best but sun shone our arse last night haji wright needed a goal he couldn't really miss after the Huddersfiekd miss.
jt is but we were lucky last night - if Blackburn had a forward we’d have lost easily
Good option off the bench. He would be much better in the box than on his own.When everyone is back, Palmer gets nowhere near the team.
We didn’t for large parts of last season either.Hardly playing like a play off team though.
He’s a decent squad player and can be a very good impact sub but he’s a strange signing considering his reported high wages how Robins likes his teams to play.He'll be subs bench for sure. I think he's a very good option to have from the bench.

Kasey Palmer joins Coventry on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee - reading between the lines, he’s not on a ‘measly’ 5k a week.Reported by you and Grendel

I doubt it was 20 but probably around 15 is my guess.The rumour was we paid up his contract in lieu of a fee. He’s not on that here in a million years. We were skint last season, we weren’t handing out £20k/week contracts

I don’t dislike him, I just think he’s a strange signing and a bit overrated by some. I don’t agree about the wages though and think you’d be surprised but that’s IMO.Not in a million years. Player going for £3.5m from Chelsea a few years back compared to bombed out of the squad in post Covid conditions. It would have made him easily the highest earner at the club. £10k absolute max IMO. It’s just another thing to hang around the neck of a player you’ve taken a disliking to with no evidence other than “my guess” to back it up regardless.
It's like those who say if our opponents had a certain type of player on the pitch we would have lost ignoring the fact that another player would have to have come off the pitch.I don't get the "lucky" to take the points view that many seem to have on here. The championship is tight as hell this year and there are going to be more games where we will need to grind out a result than not. Against Blackburn two decent teams cancelled each other out until the 85th minute. It's not like they looked like they should have scored 5. We also hit the crossbar 3 times and overall had at least as good chances as they did.
He’s quality. Just seemingly never fit for long enough. Which makes him problematic for the team as we can’t rely on him. If we can afford to keep him and use him sparingly great. If not we should consider moving him on.I don’t dislike him, I just think he’s a strange signing and a bit overrated by some. I don’t agree about the wages though and think you’d be surprised but that’s IMO.
Pretty much also completely ignoring the fact that if we had certain players on the pitch we could have won more easily. it's all conjecture rather than the hard facts we won. There have been loads of smash and grabs over the years where I have admitted we were lucky but Blackburn wasn't one of them.It's like those who say if our opponents had a certain type of player on the pitch we would have lost ignoring the fact that another player would have to have come off the pitch.
We edged it I thought. Much improved in the 2nd half. I guess at home we might expect/hope to win more comfortably.Pretty much also completely ignoring the fact that if we had certain players on the pitch we could have won more easily. it's all conjecture rather than the hard facts we won.

We hit the bar on twice not including the assist for the goal, higher probability of our shots deviating by 2 inches and going in than Blackburn having a striker. A draw would probably have been a fair result but we were closer than them to winning itjt is but we were lucky last night - if Blackburn had a forward we’d have lost easily
Have to think this is Robins' endgame, probably Kitching in for Binks eventually, Ayari is a CM, he's had 8-10 games to get up to speed of the league now, will drop into his natural position of CM eventuallyStoke squad potentially:
Wilson
Lats Fadz Binks
MvE Sheaf Ayari Dasilva
O’Hare
Simms Wright
Collins, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell, Sakamoto, Eccles, Allen, Palmer, Godden
(Fiddle about with starters/subs as you wish)
Starts looking really strong.
It sounds like it will be Kitching in for Fadz actually.Have to think this is Robins' endgame, probably Kitching in for Binks eventually, Ayari is a CM, he's had 8-10 games to get up to speed of the league now, will drop into his natural position of CM eventually

Hello, Mrs Shmmeee.You’d drop Allen for Ayari and take out our top goalscorer? You are very thick and clueless
The forwards we play should be the best that fit the plan with the opponents in front of us. If big and strong or big and fast is what would be best I'm sorry but that's the type of games Godden struggles in.You’d drop Allen for Ayari and take out our top goalscorer? You are very thick and clueless
Nothing wrong with edging it against a decent side will take a number of those a season to get a decent position.We edged it I thought. Much improved in the 2nd half. I guess at home we might expect/hope to win more comfortably.

I didn't. I just thought you were advocating sexual assaulting the squad.Also people seem to have missed the “fiddle with starters/subs as you wish” the point was it’s a string 19 whoever your first XI are.
Though a lot of what you say here maybe true, imho it’s another reason we should thank our lucky stars we have MR in charge.Since we lost O’Hare on Boxing Day, I’m struggling to think of many home games where we’ve played anyone off the park. We do let teams onto us and then counter. When it doesn’t work you get games like Stoke last season and shit patches of play this season (Huddersfield 2nd half) .
