Exactly, if you're serious about Promotion you can't go into the season with only one first team Left Back.
Jay Dasilva is a Wing Back, not a Full Back.
Let’s hope bidwell stays fit because I think left back is our biggest glaring weakness at the moment outfield
First I believe the quality of your best player in each position is very important as they will play most matches barring injury.
Second I don't agree with your views on strength in depth. For example, are Simms and Wright weaker than Bidwell and Dasilva? For right back are van Ewijk and Eccles/Latibeaudiere weaker, or in midfield Eccles, Torp, Rudoni, Sheaf and Allen? I would argue Binks and Kitching is stronger too and Thomas and Latibeaudiere.
Other than goalkeeper left back is our weakest position with regard to quality of the first choice and strength in depth.
Wright isn’t backup for Simms. He’s got his own spot. At RB yes they are, ditto in CM. I don’t think LB is an urgent position. It’s a nice to have but I can see why we’re prioritising other areas of the squad. The expectation seems to be an improvement from Dasilva and one more year from Bidwell I’m fine with that unless someone exceptional comes up. But I’m more concerned at what we’d do if we lost Simms or MvE or who is partnering Sheaf.
Rudoni cash used for May.Alfie May off to Huddersfield for £750k. Paves the way for Godden to Charlton now.
If Simms got injured surely Wright would move across and I am sure Robins has even said the long term plan was to play Wright as a central striker. Mason-Clark would come in in the left. We paid £4.5 million for him and some even think he will start ahead of Wright. I am sure he hasn't been bought not to play much.Wright isn’t backup for Simms. He’s got his own spot.

Who is partnering Sheaf? Take your choice from Eccles, Torp, Rudoni or Allen. Pretty strong I'd say.
I don't think you've mentioned it before mateI know it’s another very unpopular take but I’d love to see a better Sheaf-partner than Eccles. Great squad player, of course we should keep him, but it’d be nice to see us mix up our midfield once in a while, keep oppositions guessing what team we’ll put out or what formation we’ll be rocking.
It’s good to have those steady players but I feel Eccles qualities are becoming very much like Sheaf’s and it’d be good to have someone that can go long, turn a player, create space, dribble a bit etc. I don’t think we can fully trust Rudoni to do all of that on his own.
I’m still really miffed about Stamenic tbh, no evidence for it but I feel like he would have been such a good signingI don't think you've mentioned it before mate

No way is Bidwell better than van Ewijk. That's just silly, and it's not even close. I am not sure Dasilva is really a left back although he might be developed into one and Latibeaudiere/Eccles is at least as strong.

I'd be surprised, Twitter's usually perfectly reliable.Not much time left for these “incoming signings” from twitter, bet it’s all just shit-stirring.

Can't believe I of all people am saying this, but be patient
Godden to Charlton is done, as I say we needed to start getting people out aswell as in, FFP is a thing in this league and I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't far off breaching it
I'd expect to see confirmation of ins after July 1st
Wilson the only other expected departure?Can't believe I of all people am saying this, but be patient

Yeh I could believe we aren't far off. Need the dead wood gone really don't we... obviously Gyokeres moving would really help too.Can't believe I of all people am saying this, but be patient

I would be very surprised if we were close to FFP breach. We had an huge influx of cash last season and King has been pretty critical of clubs who have breached ….Can't believe I of all people am saying this, but be patient

Aren’t we going to have the same thing as the prem - wright for instance will be 7.5m over 4 years and Simms - 3.5 over 4 years whilst we brought in 35m in profit?Can't believe I of all people am saying this, but be patient

Shold get you tingling that one at leastTalking of twitter and signing-addiction, I just saw us linked with LB Clement Akpa (?) on twitter, translation reads: “Coventry and Norwich (Championship), as well as FC Augsburg (Bundesliga) have already expressed their interest.”
Mild tingle atmShold get you tingling that one at least

And realistically how many ins are imminent?At the moment yes. Tavares on a L1 loan few clubs interested but he of course got injured
New injury? Or the fa cup semi final injury where he ripped apart 100 mill worth of defenders, got hacked down as they couldn't handle it, carried on and made it worse.At the moment yes. Tavares on a L1 loan few clubs interested but he of course got injured
Feels a lot of money for May when you could get Godden for less and I would be shocked if Godden doesn’t outscore him.Alfie May off to Huddersfield for £750k. Paves the way for Godden to Charlton now.
Don't exaggerate FabioNew injury? Or the fa cup semi final injury where he ripped apart 100 mill worth of defenders, got hacked down as they couldn't handle it, carried on and made it worse.
Just checking

We did, but a fair bit of that went on Ryton, a good couple of million has been invested there. Apparently it's a lovely little place now
Just seen pictures of it. Looks class
Where can I see those Hill?
One City fan running a stall at Glasto.I've lived in London over a decade and I've met 1 Palace fan and 1 Charlton fan in all my time. I assume they are very local to their areas but its still strange not to come across any. I've come across way more Coventry fans actually, we seem to get everywhere.
