Although I want to heartily agree with this MR is known for throwing a bit of misdirection about.

Classic CovTel. Can’t read a paragraph of their story because there’s an ad in the way. Can anyone tell me what it says about Kelly’s injury?

Edir: never mind got a different ad on refresh. Kelly training but not ready for tomorrow.

I agree. I know it has been said a thousand times on here but the CovTel website is atrocious. If I was the boss or an advertiser I would be up in arms. I cannot stand reading it for more than 20 seconds and just give up after pages will not load and adverts everywhere. Completely ruins the reading experience and actually has the opposite effect that it is trying to create for there advertisers.
I know they read SBT so I hope they take this criticism seriously if they expect people to read their pages and support their advertisers.

Couldn't agree more, I actively avoid the site.

Perhaps they could do a "5 things our readers hate about our website" feature.

I think local papers are done for really. We need some kind of decent sports reporting online to take over the role of official journalist who talks to the club. Match reports and rumours are taken care of here and Twitter, but could still do with someone in press conferences asking where Kelly is or whatever. Unless the club started doing them as live streams or something.

Losing @Tom Leach and getting Andy Turner back has really reminded me how little value the CovTel add these days.

Then there is this headline.
‘Another one’ - Coventry City boss gives update on his summer transfer business
When you read it, the quote from MR is;
"The plan was always that there was another one player, but we won’t be doing that,” he told CoventryLive.

Wonder why that is. Deal not happening or budget change or what?

Could be any of them - worth noting that PNE have neither signed, nor sold, a single player during the break!

It's a different market/economy at the moment

Its why it makes SISU support of MR even the more impressive.

Agreed, Tom was a breath of fresh air - shame to lose him.

We’ve been very well backed so far by the looks of it. Time will tell obviously.

I read somewhere the other day a quote from Chris Badlan when asked if the signings were complete for this season, he said "You're never finished recruiting"
I think most of us are happy with the recruitment this year, but I also have a feeling that in the current circumstances, if an opportunity came along where a player was likely to make us a big profit in time to come, and who fitted into our system, the funds would be found. It's what a hedge fund does.

Agreed. Liam Walsh was apparently signed after we’d used all the budget last year.

The good thing with MR is that he sets expectations low. He’ll say ‘we’ve used the budget’ and somehow sign another.

Contrast that with Mowbray who spent all summer talking about signing players linked with Championship clubs and signing none.

If we get our surplus to requirements players off the wage bill, it wouldn’t surprise me to see one more come in, but I’m not expecting another to come in because MR said.

Mason now out for 6-8 weeks. If only we had another left back to cover Giles

But clearly the plan is/was to ship Mason out, so that's a bit of a moot point.

He was due to go on loan to one of the other teams promoted with us but unfortunately picked up his injury

Don't be so silly, he's our new cam to replace Allen who is shit

Giles has put the most crosses in the championship so far

I think so. We need his defensive qualities. Giles might be better suited as an impact sub pushed up the pitch.

I said this last night, Giles hasn't looked as quick in the last 2 games and I would say its time for the return of McCallum

Both Giles and Dabo were pushed out of the game which means we lose the start of our attacks.

Other than the fact Giles is playing in a completely different role to Allen (the same as he played last week out wide left where he has played a lot of his career)

Now if he was playing cam in the same role as Allen then you would have a point but he isn't

But I will agree on the disappointment of Allen this season, I thought he would kick on but unfortunately hasn't

PVA · Dec 1, 2020

Lovely stuff. The amount of stick I got in here for suggesting a lad who had played most of his life as a winger could play further forward than wing back
