 | Forum Thread | Coventry XI? at 12:59 5 Feb 2025
Quiet week so let's get this one rolling. I'd hope we will see less than the usual 11 changes. Palmer Godfrey-Wolfy-Greaves-Townsend Phillips-Taylor Philogene-Enciso-Clarke Hirst Palmer a no brainer. Possibly harsh on Burgess but I think Greaves could do with a consistent run. Clear that Philogene needs games and I wonder if Enciso also falls into that camp. I also just want to see more of him, fella's a superstar. Any other predictions? |
 | Forum Thread | Have we given up on a striker? at 19:01 30 Jan 2025
Lots of talk on here and around the fanbase about a striker still being top of our list, but it feels to me like McKenna/Ashton have admitted defeat. Using our final PL loan spot on Enciso then McKenna referencing his ability to play as a false nine suggests that game is up. We've also let Ali leave a week ago, and still nobody is in or seemingly close to being so. It's a risk: we remain an injury away from a very sticky situation. But perhaps the player we need just doesn't exist, with the limitations we now face? The pot must be running dry, for one. And even if we could drop £20m on a Latte-Lath, why would he come knowing he's fighting with Hirst to be the back-up? Same goes for any striker in that £15-20m ballpark. They'll want to be number one. All that leaves is a foreign loan, but why would a club loan a player knowing they'll get limited game time? Unless they want their wages off the books... And then it's a big wage investment for us, into a back-up player. Not exactly ideal. Been running it round and I just don't think it's a deal we can do now, unless Hirst/Delap pick up a serious injury on Saturday. Christ almighty I hope that doesn't happen. |

Judging by today's matchday squad (and those left out), our fitness/injury situation is beginning to settle. Is it perhaps time for McKenna to pick his preferred team and give them a run? Next week, like today, is a free hit - then we're into a huge February, with a solid week between most games. I do worry that with the increased pressure on games/results, those who come in for one game are on a hiding to nothing. If they don't put in an 8/10 performance, they're likely to lose the shirt again. New signings Godfrey and Jaden will only settle quickly if they're played through any shaky showings. |
