He seems like quite a chilled character to be honest, then again, so did Grimes. Certainly from our perspective it’s better to let him play the season out and hit that 20 goal mark, his value will likely near double if that happens.

Hopefully it’ll be a bit of a different game to Matos’s first game in charge, even though we did score 2 in that one. Looking at the fixtures, West Brom haven’t won away since Oct 1st against Norwich. They’re a bit like us, all their goals are up top with their 9 (Heggebø). It may well come down...

A Coventry account on Twitter was talking about Vipotnik as a potential option for their January window, they haven’t been linked officially yet though. He’s probably hitting 20 this season in the league so makes sense that other clubs are looking, would like to think we’ll play this smart and...

The quality is still missing at vital moments but we controlled that second half and it really should have been 0-2. No complaints. Would like us to score a few more though, we’ve not scored 3 in a league game this season.

Not asking for champagne football like, we just can’t keep inviting pressure by willingly giving the ball up every time.

Not retaining the ball enough here, whenever we win it back, we’re just booting it long. Need to do more with it.

Everybody wants points of course but I’d argue performances are also important, if you can perform well consistently and create good quality chances on a regular basis, then you are going to come by points more often than not. I wouldn’t want us to be trying to nick games 1-0 every week. In away...

Not really but I won’t argue the toss. It’s just there to indicate which team has had the best quality chances. It’s only really useful with a large sample size of games though in my opinion.

Not a load of nonsense today looking at the XG (1.02 for Cov and 1.22 for the Swans on FotMob.) We had two very good quality chances (Vip and Cullen) and they only really had two of the same quality themselves (header off the line and the one straight after). The difference in XG was only...

It’s why we can’t be too disappointed, performances always lead to results and we’re performing well enough at the moment, although we could be a bit better in the final 3rd still. We keep performing as we are and we’ll beat enough teams to stay in this division. I feel a decent result is on the...

Decent performance away to a good team. They just had that bit more quality going forward although I didn’t think they were anything special. I know they’ve got a few players out but it’s surprising they’ve hit so many goals this season if that’s what they look like. You can see the quality in...

We just don’t have that quality consistently. I feel we’re decent moving the ball out of defence into midfield but as soon as the ball gets to the final third we still seem to freeze up.

I don’t know if we’ve been the better side, they forced Vigs into a brilliant goal line save and got the goal while we’ve only really had that Vipotnik chance. Still though, we’ve looked tidy enough. Gotta be more dangerous going forward.

Seen most of the half, quite a boring game to be honest, both teams look poor in front of goal. Cov 1-0 but not much in the game at all.

I don’t mind a statement like that to be honest. At least they’re letting us know that January will be quiet. No false promises, no disappointment. Also quiet doesn’t mean no signings, I see no reason why we can’t get a loan in or two.

Perhaps contrarian, but I don’t think the state of this season has been down to what the owners did in the summer, player recruitment wise anyway. I think we simply appointed the wrong manager off the back of some excellent results at the back end of last season. These players are young and...

This is a good point. Even Inoussa who has some pace isn’t rapid. It makes you appreciate players like Dan James all the more. It’s been ages since we’ve had a winger who can knock the ball past someone and run. Don’t know who it was on here but somebody mentioned that all our wingers like to...

I’m not sure who the possible options could be but I think we do need one. Michu would be a nostalgic choice and he does have some experience in that role now. Not privy to any behind the scenes stuff but I find it odd that they got rid of Montague and now are looking to get in a Director of...

Would like to see what Idah can do on the right out wide, he played there for Norwich so it’s not alien for him. I think Ronald could do with a rest for a few games and Idah certainly has the speed and skill. I don’t agree with people who say Vipotnik isn’t good enough for us. His goal scoring...

We shouldn’t be selling anyone in January unless we’re talking truly crazy money. It’s the reason we’ve started giving players 4 year deals, it gives us breathing space to not be pressured into any deal. If we’re talking purely about selling for the most value then it makes sense to wait until...
