Love the video, and it could have been so different for us this season, but with Mark Robins sacked today this is now not the case, League 1 here we come!
Spot on with your analysis! Kept Bobby and Kitchen as the centre 2, sheaf got 80 minutes, 3-0 against blackburn, hopefully we start our season now, your research is top notch, we always start slow
You sir were absolutely correct! Sheaf back and we absolutely spanked an in form Blackburn side, made them look very average and Wright's goal was so well taken.
I'll be honest my initial reaction to the headline was that you had lost your mind but the commentary around what's going wrong is spot on and really well researched.
As a Coventry fan, I agree with a lot of what you've said I think January will be a very important month for us We need at least 1 more midfielder, ideally someone creative who can cover for Rudoni, and we need a new starting left back, because as much as I love Jake Bidwell, he is the obvious weakness in our best 11 now. Also, Norman Bassette is going to be some player, from what I've seen he plays very similar to Gyokeres, very exciting prospect
You can see why we signed Bassette can't you? Everyone was scratching their heads wondering why we went out to sign 'yet another' striker, but then he played... Very raw but will be a great player.
@robertmason6366 Wright, can F off, I'm serious. Body language and his overall performances tell me he doesn't want to be here, never really rated him and tbh, simms either, I'd give asante and Bassette a run.
Talking so much sense man, from the defence (losing Fadz) to our midfield - we need Sheaf back and fit. Sheaf is going to make or break our season... need to keep him fit until January and then see where we are after that...
I read a stat somewhere that so far in this Championship season, Coventry City is 21st in terms of shot conversion rate (6.5%), joint 2nd with Leeds United when it comes to big chances missed (13).
@@xey7459 For Derby, he has the most assists , the most shots on target and joint 1st scoring 2 goals. So far so good. Definitely puts him up there at the moment I'd say
What Callum is saying is already starting to come true, clearly knows his stuff. So give this lad a Sky Blue season ticket, I'm sure we can entice him away from Barnsley. #PUSB
Great assessment, well researched. As a lifelong Cov fan, the one thing that is consistent for us is that we're inconsistent; brilliant one day (ref Wolves, Man U, Spurs 2 weeks ago), crap the next. 2 things will tip our season; keeping Sheaf fit and a good window in Jan. We will concede, but we will score plenty when it clicks, and it will at some point. PUSB.
Deserve to go up on the basis of FA Cup run last year alone. Watched game against Man Utd and Coventry robbed. Best game in the competition. BTW, am West Ham
We have an entirely new back room staff (baring Robins himself) which is probably even more of an impact than the large squad change we had last season. I'm praying that's the reason and we'll come good because we REEK
Not sure about that. I know its very very early, but they've only won 1 in 6, and play Leeds on Saturday. They gonna need a confidence boost from somewhere
Real ones remember Coventry in the 90s being an established Premier League side. Wee Gordon Strachan as manager, Huckerby, Whelan, Dublin, McAllister and Steve Froggatt.
A big source of frustration with the fanbase is that theres no real reason to excuse the poor start bar the coaching team revamp and losing O'Hare (who i dont think we were too reliant on as we played lots of last season without him) last season we were gelling in a lot of new players as you pointed out, the season before we werent playing any home games until a fair few gameweeks in due to pitch issues, still both those seasons we picked up the pace eventually so im still hopeful, though i think we'll fall short - delighted to be proven wrong of course.
@@xxwales15xx33 The problem was, our team that season was no where near good enough After Gyokeres and Hamer, the rest of the team we're either mid-table championship standard, or on loan We'd have gone down without a fight I feel if we go up with this team, we'd have a much better chance of surviving
He needs to play kitching and Thomas, last season were immense our thickle fan base just don’t like that kitching can lose his head and get a red, those blokes got us to a Wembley fa cup semi final ffs,
@@robertmason6366he came off the bench and had a great game, so did dasilva, yet neither were better overall when compared to Kitch and Bidwell. Kitch and Bobby were the most solid pairing throughout, I'm sorry but that's factual. That saying, I wouldn't mind seeing a back three,Luis, Kitch in the middle (he has the best range of passing), then Bobby, when we win corners and free kicks Binks can hold the halfway line and LK and BT can go up and provide a real threat.
Callum think the issue is away from what’s going on on the pitch. I along with others went into this season feeling positive (I predicted us to finish 2nd ffs) Something just isn’t right. Vivash leaving so soon after Dennis Laurence. Mark Robins based off his interviews seems really fed up. To touch on the experienced players leaving, we’ve not replaced them and owner Doug King seems very against signing older players. Despite spending millions on players we will highly unlikely sell for a profit. As for the defensive change around. Robins is always keeping a back 4 together for them to have an absolute stinker so he’s changing the team with his depth in centre half. Funny considering we are crying out for a few more midfielders after losing 3 in the summer.
Completely agree with your MR comments. He deserves the time considering what he's done. Swansea at home was an utterly woeful performance, it was mind boggling how they can go from destroying spurs for 87 mins, to looking like they've never played together before. That said, the chances are being created, it's just not clicking as you said. Even one of the players said that we create 8 or 9 chances and score maybe 1, while teams against us are making 1 or 2 and scoring both times. Cov seem to have a habit of starting slow, happened over the two last seasons. The only downside this time is we've lost alot of the older heads, which is painfully obvious when we're down 1-0 and no one is taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Hopefully you're right in it just needing something to click and can push on. I joked yesterday that we'll probably batter Leeds away then lose to Sheff Wed at home as it's a very typical Cov thing to do.
Binks & Thomas is the long-term centre-back partnership I think, Kitching seems to have fallen off after his disciplinary record ruined the second half of last season, Latibeaudiere is a utility man who will play CB/RB/DM and rack up plenty of appearances.
Sunderland second off the basis of playing 6 games and playing relegation fodder for 3 of them. Playing one top 6 side (great win I fairness).. next month will tell us a lot but they drop off badly I think
@@robertmason6366 by that logic, so should West Ham, Everton, Leicester and Nottingham Forest. All should have greater points deductions as they broke far more rules
People always laugh at Coventry but they do have a massive fanbase for this level. There's no way that a team that sells over 20,000 season tickets with ease should be in the Championship. They got 28,000 for a League 2 game.🤷♂️
@Pete2414-r2q We had no ground, we had to go to Northampton which only had a capacity of 9000. Not to mention the boycott that lasted nearly 10 years. The fans have always been there.
Yes because under sisu we had a" Not a penny more" campaign which peaked under the disastrous appointment of Russel Slade who took us to the bottom of L1. However every away game in L2, L1 and championship are all ways sold out. So low attendance at home was more down to principle then any other bizzare motion that you just plucked out of the air.
Hilarious how you think robbins is a top manager because he took a team from league 2 to champ in about 8 years but wilder is a shit manager for taking a team from league 1 to 9th in the prem (also getting teams promoted from national league & league 2 before that) in 3 years hahahaha. Bias is so funny
For a start we went from L2 to the championship in 3 seasons under hardship of no money, shit owners and playing at St Andrews. After 2 years of consolidation in the championship and getting hamer,gorkores,COH and Sheaf for less then 3 million we were 1 penalty away from the prem. Wilder did well at sheff United but they had no off the field problems until recently where they've overspent and got a pitiful 2 point deduction as punishment. In our play off season we had to play our first half a dozen games away from home because wasps couldn't afford to repair the pitch after the commonwealth games. Our owners at the time rang up Blackburn to ask if they still wanted hyam so we can pay for the pitch. This was against Robins wishes and we still got to 5th. Wilder has had none of these problems of the pitch. Now he has parachute payments where he can chuck absurd wages around like confetti. In addition Wilder was pitiful at Boro and was backed and sacked by the most generous and patient chairman in the league. Hope that clears it up...
@@robertmason6366 ok and we went from league 1 to the premier league in three years with no money and owner disputes?

Like I said Wilder was incredibly poor at boro and sheff utd were a laughing stock of the Premier last season. We have a more rounded squad instead of a couple of stars.
