Currently most teams in the league see Coventry as their equal & go out to attack & in doing so leave themselves open and Coventry are taking those chances.

This will change soon as teams show a little more respect to them, then Coventry might find it hard to score 5 goals a game.

This is pretty much exactly what Jed Wallace said on the NTT20 podcast last week: Reverse fixtures are going to be very, very different for teams like Cov and Boro. Not to say they can't still maintain this form, but teams will treat them quite differently, and the stakes will have changed re: what other teams are gunning for.

Kone scored again for QPR. 
His 4th goal so far this season. 
Baffling why we didn’t get him. 

Why do people think he should have only come to us? 

 

Maybe he never wanted to leave the south. Geography/location can sometimes play a bit part in someone's decision to move clubs or not.

I know it’s the sun but it’s saying Turki Alalshikh is looking into buying a championship club….

I think the article says he was looking at Millwall and Southampton..

[KFS]

No thanks

We could have the richest owner in the world but im guessing we still couldn’t spend anymore money because PSR right?!

The current owner is going to do that. Plenty of experience with dodgy back room deals!

He is a crook, this would be a concern 

[RonnieTodger]

Richard Kone is the real deal. I hope there was a legitimate reason for us not signing him.

Cov are flying and firing. They are at their best. We are no where near that. Even the players know that. We should’ve beaten them and that is saying something. Keep improving - we are the best team in this league. Which is why anything less is so frustrating.

Can I shock you? I’ve always loved Saudi Arabia, fantastic country! His excellency should visit the shire has an honourable guest

Cov are fun to watch. Just regular football, get men in the box and cross it in to them. Doesnt rake a masters in footbology to work out why they're bagging

[fox_favourite]

Cov must be on performance enhancing drugs or a lot of Red bull at the mo, they're flying! I don't like them,  but fair play on them. Makes our goalless draw a bit more respectable...ish. 

 

It's such a crazy league this year. Certainly wrong time to be in this league, and there are more teams on the ropes in the prem, so wrong time to be relegated. 

 

Ah well

Yeah, nah.  (Am still disappointed in Wayne Brady for performing in that comedy fest they've got going on over there - I guess he really needs the money...   )

Maybe Sheffield United's problem is deeper than the manager? This drop off is remarkable.

They will be fine, but not top 6.  The good manager they brought back in is turning a tanker. 

[Haywood_6]

Cov are like the Christmas decorations start of bright then come crashing down 

[Pliskin]

Cov are the type of side that if you let them play, they will just destroy you. 
 

However as we proved, they’re actually fairly easy to stop. Again they’re a simple team, most of their good work comes through Sakamoto, if you let him run, he will run all day long. They take weak teams apart, but anyone with any strength they struggle to break them down. 
 

Still not concerned about them, at our absolute best we’re better. 

[Ric Flair]

My best mates a Cov fan and he says the weird thing is they aren't even playing that well. He's a fairly measured football fan as well so I don't think he's exaggerating. Most successful teams often don't impress continually in performance but do in results.

 

They will be tough to peg back, but at the same time I don't think they're a 95+ points team.

They will hit a run of poor form. There’s weaknesses in that team, as there are in many, but I genuinely wasn’t impressed when they came to us. We sussed them out fairly easily, and had it not been for poor subs from Marti we would have nicked that game. They barely laid a glove on us. 
 

I was really encouraged with what I saw yesterday from us, we just need a number 9 who will score some goals……

Do you reckon it’ll take 95+ points this season? Feels a bit tighter than when us, Ipswich and Leeds (even Southampton to an extent) ran away with it).
