Spike Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I'd say with no more in's and outs I think this is more how the squad would be seen by Pearson with Naismith also playing in the midfield should Taylor-Clark not yet meet the level expected from him by Pearson. I mean sure we could sign another CB and then we'd have Naismith as cover in the middle but looking at how many names we have who will want game time and the strength we have in-depth I'd say we're pretty set for the next season. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Exciting times! Its all beginning to feel like the summer of 2014. All we need now is for Nige to have a chance meeting in a Dubai with an experienced goalscorer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like realistically we still need 1 in at CB. Hopefully Benarous will be back sooner rather than later as well. I rate him, just hope he’s fully recovered.

Remove the injure Atkinson and OTC and there’s your match day 20. Might have to find a spot for King, but essentially that’s it. Would not surprise me if Bajic leaves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naismith in front of the back 3 for some games e.g. we can switch seamlessly for phases of games etc. Pearson said last week we’re playing a back 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I'm very surprised we've managed this.

That's where we have been able to get a head start. Coventry are finding themselves scratching around for signings and they need to make about 10 of them! This signing has been months in the making. We decided who we wanted a long time ago and got it done early. Knight was clearly impressed that we showed an early interest and showed him that we wanted him and showed him how we plan to progress the club.. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Great signing and we have our Scott replacement for if/when he leaves. Personally I think more when than if this summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I said the same. Wanted another centre-half but singing Knight means we have more than enough in midfield to utilise Naismith at LCB. How good is that team/depth on paper btw? The bloated squad of misfits of two years ago feels like decades ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lost Scott, the silver lining would be that we could have scope for one more GK, loan out the current 3rd choice, one more CB, one more CM and if the right player for the right deal arises in whatever position make a go for them too. Then look to tie down Vyner, Pring, Conway for longer knowing that we have the extra space created by Scott sale for higher wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yepp. Benarous, King, and Taylor-Clarke (among others) fall into the category of "squad players" for me - those we'll use, but probably shouldn't be expecting to depend on. Think Benarous looks a great prospect, I'm just hesitant to put much (any) pressure or expectation on him for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
