O'brien - Maddison - Lameiras
Armstrong
That was the most effective front four if you accumulate all the games. When all those played together we barely played badly. I don't know why, I guess they all worked hard and had the intelligence to feed Armstrong.
I don't really care what anyone says about Kent and Murphy, when they played well they were out of this world, but ultimately they were luxury players that didn't produce often enough. There was no consistency. It was ok if one of them was on the pitch and the rest of the team was playing well, but when they weren't we were effectively down to 10 men more often than not.
Player selection and man management cost us post Christmas.
Bringing Cole in disrupted the whole balance of a winning team, the players who were doing well were to much in awe of him. One bad apple and all that.
Burton were solid defensively and didn't score a lot but they didn't just aimlessly hoof it.
It might just get us out of relegation if we have two big signings still to come.
However If we play it for all of next season. We will have our usual collapse after Xmas once we are worked out
Lameiras? Wow.
Accumulate all what games together? Yeah, he's definitely not a luxury player...
At least Murphy and Kent wete capable of producing the goods and did.
Lameiras is very poor. No end product and a complete lightweight at this level.
Really? How many times did you see them? do you think physicality is important in this league - yes or no?
If you went to games last season you would know what I'm talking about. All I'm saying is that those four worked. He has been shocking since, but at that time was actually pretty good, believe it or not.
Kent? What goods did he provide? Murphy, amazing on his day, the worst player on the pitch in over 20 games though, and those games cost us.

Funny thing is about fans like yourself , is you actually avoid looking at reason and jump straight to conclusion .
Are you genuinely suggesting that with the 7 injuries to key players at the back over the course of the season is not partly why we fell away ??
Are you suggesting that when Steve waggot approached the ownership i requesting a small amount of funds to push for promotion in January to be told no , is not part of the reason we took a gamble on guff like hunt and Henderson .
The first 10 games this season under Mowbray were for the most part more frustrating because we couldn't score , we looked organised and still played good football , playing teams like Bradford off the park until Jordan turnbull decided to get sent off , missing absolute sitters against sides like Oldham at home all the while maintaining a top 6 defensive record until he left .
And in my honest opinion , Tony mowbrays Coventry city side always tried to play football the right way , I enjoyed his football more than any other managers style over the last 15 -20 years , give or take brief periods under certain managers .
Wether you like it or not Grendel , the stats say Tony Mowbray was the most successful long term manager (over a season) under the terrible guidance of our owners .
And wether you like it or not , it's extremely hard to solely blame Tony Mowbray for the way we fell away last season , because I firmly believe if players like turner , cargill , stokes , and Johnson never suffered long term injuries during the course of our season , we would have made the playoffs comfortably .
But forget reason eh
The football now is atrocious in comparison to Mowbrays CCFC
