Rather play two wingers up front than Wesley, why did he sign him in the first place.
Burger - totally anonymous, came off injured
Travers looked suspect for the first goal, haven't seen it again.
The centre backs well what can you say.

The centre backs well what can you say. I thought Wesley was out best player when he came on. Ran and chased the ball unlike everyone else, held it up and generally did well. The defence is my biggest concern. I don't like any one of them. |

We don’t have a decent centre back in the squad.
That’s criminal

The net spend of the warchest was virtually nothing... not to spend a decent amount on a quality striker and centre back was negligence of the highest order.

Rose & McNally - how did Coventry get on the verge of the Premier League last season?

It was always going to be a mixed bag, but I’m alarmed and how we’ve seemingly made Burger worse already. I don’t think Neil has improved a single player since arriving has he?

I think we’ve signed some good players. We need a good system to put them in

Plenty of good players there, just not a center back or striker you can trust, which is what a lot of people are saying during the window

The problem is with some posters on here is they back themselves so far into a corner with players they have no wriggle room. Wilmot is our best centre half who has been shoehorned into the left side role because our really successful recruitment drive has left us without a natural left footer. If we were sell him tomorrow several teams would be interested and we’d make a healthy profit on him…… |

Like a flower bed of pansies at Centre half, I think Neil has realised this so he's reluctant to have just two pansies instead as it's even more weak. I really hope Mmaee is the CF we need, because of all the players in all the world we've ended up with an immobile non jumper. The team lacks aggression in a big way. That was shit today. |

Good, let's do one over someone else rather than us getting done on transfers, they'll soon realise they've made a mistake. Edit: playing left sided isn't the problem, his inability to defend is, or pass, or show a tiny bit of strength. |

Wilmot is killing us by the game, and to think that Liam Lindsay is playing week in week out at Preston?

I've now idea how we're going to get a solid looking defence out of the players we have in the squad though. |

Why sign wingers then play with wing backs ?
Why not sign a proper left / right back and play a solid back 4 ?
Why not properly replace Harry Souttar with the £15m you got for him ?
Fucking clueless

Recruitment ?? Mentioned couple weeks ago about this being the elephant in the room.
It's now having a great big stinking poo.
Dangerous situation actually because aside from Pearson we have no trench fighters.

Wilmot is our best centre half who has been shoehorned into the left side role because our really successful recruitment drive has left us without a natural left footer. If we were sell him tomorrow several teams would be interested and we’d make a healthy profit on him…… I actually agree with this. And then we went and sold our only backup option on the left back... Both NcNally, Rose and Wilmot look more comfortable in a back four where footedness isn't as crucial. But it's really poor from AN anyway, because he could have started with Gooch as LB and Hoever as RB (or switched, i don't care) instead of trying to make our best central AM play LWB. Next he'll try Thompson there. So many wrong choices today. Wrong formation, wrong selection in midfield (just use Burger as the DM FFS and make room for DJ and Bae), wrong selection up front. If Campbell had stayed on, we'd have lost 3-0. Or more. |

But like Thompson you’ve got nowhere left to go so even when these players obviously have a good game (I’m taking in general terms now not today) at best you come up with some backhanded compliment bullshit…… |

Dangerous situation actually because aside from Pearson we have no trench fighters. Ultimaately our fate was sealed when AN became besotted with the Tinder Swindler and his data recruitment , it’s such a un - Neil like squad abjectly unbalanced with two hits out of 18 recruits a pin and blindfold would do better , and you can only make the assumption his judgment went out of the window in the heat of the love in , meanwhile captain smith - Martin in the background spouts on about pillars and cultural change while creating an environment of lose in any way possible . But god he looks smart and has a note book and pen . |

Travers
Stevens/Tchamadeu
Rose/McNally
Wilmot
Gooch/Hoever
Pearson
Burger
Junho
Vidigal
Wesley/Mmaae
Haksabanovic
The four / plus Bonham, Thompson, Sidibe, Leris, Jojic.
A decent manager would have that team competing in the top half at least. Yes we need a dominant centre half and someone who knows where the net is as CF, but the recruitment wasn’t an absolute failure. The problem is the manager, it’s like Drunken Duncan picks the side.

Rose & McNally - how did Coventry get on the verge of the Premier League last season? Viktor Gyokeres Was playing upfront for them and scored 21 and assisted 12 , so they probably didn’t have to defend as much. McNally and Rose played against us when we smashed them 4-0 at their place. |

It's not that the players we've signed are bad (some are, but some look decent). It's the lack of recruitment in crucial positions that's fucking us up, while we're overstocked in others.
