Noahfence Posted 21 September 2025 Posted 21 September 2025 Felt so obvious as soon as rotters like Reid & Kristiansen came back Nelson & Page would drop out the squad. yes I know Page was injured for Oxford but apparently fit for Coventry 1
Pita Posted 21 September 2025 Posted 21 September 2025 Our lack of goals is starting to getting to be a problem. Ayew just not up to it Daka does not know where the post are. Manager needs a rethink

Faes, Ricardo and Winks made us significantly calmer and more structured in defence. Hamza and Okoli whilst with their strong points, on the ball is not one. 6

Are we gonna loan him to a Championship side? Would we let him go to Europe? I can see Rudkin not wanting to let him out on loan at all whilst he's not signed a new contract, and he's unlikely to sign if we're not letting him get game time - stalemate!

If I’m correct Coventry are not only leading scorers in the division they have also had the most shots on goal in the division and our midfield 3 covered our very slow CBs yesterday to restrict Coventry to just a few chances. We might not rate him but Soumare must have done something to contribute in that & having Ayew as the 3rd midfielder leaves a hell of a lot of work for a 2 of Winks|JJ to do both in defending then getting the team up the pitch. Sorry without sounding rude but you lost me after those first 5 words... The Jogging Donkey is a waste of a squad space, and after watching him week after week I still can't fathom how managers continue to pick the lazy incompetent clown. I would rather play any one of the U21's. Any would at least offer a workmate, a bucket of passion, and a drive to try and impress, polar opposite to Soumare. OK they may a make mistake, but this fraud of a footballer has made more than his fair share of them whilst stealing a wage off the club. Seeing his name on the starting line up each match "boils my pi$$" I will have a party the day this liability finally leaves the club. Edited 21 September 2025 by Guppys Love Child 3 1

If we had a half decent striker over the course of a season we would turn a number of draws in to wins and defeats in to draws.l which is the difference between being on the mix or not. we are toothless up front and require way too many chances to bag Edited 21 September 2025 by kristianity77
ronnup Posted 21 September 2025 Posted 21 September 2025 Itll be the same team I suspect. Id like to see Carranza of for Ayew, and James instead of Soumare. But we wont see that

Stalemate is a situation where you have no options available to you. We do. Play him. It's not a risk, he is proven at this level. It will be a scandal if we lose a talent like Nelson because we chose Faes or Vestergaard who are both average and leaving soon, ahead of him. 6

Happy for Soumare to play even though he has wanted out before and way more often than not shows a serious lack of commitment and effort when playing? 2

I think ideally i'd play Hamza and James as a midfield 2 but yeah, Soumare still being here is a result of the club not making the place hell for these players. It's a haven for footballers that want to earn 80k a week for 4 years and put in minimal effort. These players still get rewarded and it's a key reason (if not the number one reason) as to why we're in this mess. For what it's worth though, I think Soumare has applied himself quite well on the whole this season. It's a sorry situation where someone like him is one of the hardest working central midfielders at the club. The club failed at draining the swamp this summer. We got rid of all of our sellable assets (minus Fatawu) but didn't do enough to get rid of the likes of Soumare, Winks, Faes, Vestergaard etc who are only here for the dough and the easy ride. The rebuild gets pushed down the road constantly under Rudkin. It had to be more cutthroat IMO. 2

Totally agree. I can see it happening though. 1
