Koeman’s team would beat Poch’s team

Maybe they can do something about defenders going down when under pressure and getting an easy free kick out of officials, when barely touched. Worst part of the modern game imo.

Was lucky again last night I assume

Almost every single result has gone our way since the Leicester game, our position has completely transformed since half time last Tuesday!

The only academy player he started was Bragg, who’s already started first team games already this season. He was able to field a complete second 11 of senior players, that’s how big our squad is. He’s gotten through in the cup whilst giving our entire starting 11 a complete rest, and giving a host of academy lads the opportunity to come on and win the game for us. To me, yesterday was brilliant management. Some people will never give him any credit whatsoever because they didn’t know who he was a few months ago.

One thing I noticed with all the youngsters is that with probably the exception of Bragg, they all look quite physically imposing - even Jay Robinson is a big lad too. Clearly something the club has been focusing on beyond just the senior team. Bragg was superb, so clearly being a bit smaller isn’t going to stop him!

Been a hell of a week for us this. Wrexham v Bristol City mid week too. Some huge games next weekend too. It’s all hotting up!!

Similar to his goal against Hull too if I remember rightly - Scienza heading back towards his own goal slightly to then put it into that space between defence and goalkeeper, Stewart there to guide it in.

Birmingham and Stoke now ‘officially’ below us after the last two night’s results. That Leicester result really could be season defining. Preston v Watford this weekend meaning either Preston remain in touching distance, or Watford stay below us.

Surely with the money we’ve invested in him already, he’s worth another contract on reduced terms - he’s shown he’s clearly a good footballer, he’s obviously not completely broken even if he has to be carefully managed. Would feel like an even more stupid transfer if we let him go for free after finally seeing what we bought.

Equally though Bree knows better than anyone the risks of joining a club because of who the manager is at the time

For some context, Coventry would be 5th in the table right now in the season we went up with Ipswich and Leicester. This league is not at the level of what it was two seasons ago. 5 teams between us and the playoffs have dropped points this weekend. If we keep winning games, we make the play offs.

5 of the teams between us and 6th place dropped points this weekend alone, and only Bristol City in that list have more than one win more than us. We also play 5 of those teams still. Absolutely no reason why we can’t make the play offs if, it’ll only be our own failings that stop us.

Personally think Fellows is the most likely of our current squad to have a good Prem career - Only 22, 6 foot and rapid with the ability to carry the ball forward. He needs some work, but i’d be surprised if he’s not a steady PL player at a mid table club. I love Scienza, but I get Anthony Knockaert vibes with him, outstanding in the Championship but maybe physically wouldn’t cope with the top flight.

Watching Archer has been thoroughly unenjoyable for the past 2 seasons, so i’m not sure why you’d like to see that.
