AIDY BOOTHROYD has got a good reputation for giving young players a chance and has already complemented the quality of City's young players

He also has made clear his desire to get competition for all places in the side. Among his signings so far have been full backs Richard Keogh and Stephen O'Hallaran.

Some fans like me believe Jordan Clarke is ready for the step up. I've also written before about the management needing to trust Chris Hussey more

I presume the two signings will be first choice and Jordan and Chris will need to impress to displace them. The problem is they dont have enough opportunities to show what they can do

Bring on the pre season

THE picture in todays telegraph of three players reporting in to work reminds us all that the distraction of the World Cup is nearly over and it's time to get excited about the upcoming season

Since he took over Aidy Boothroyd has undertook a charm offensive with the fans that has changed a few minds,while others are reserving judgement for when the action starts

Up until recently he'd had little contact with the players. I was amused to read he "bumped" into Keiren Westwood though. I don't know if it was an accidental encounter whilst shopping but I hope it went well

Aidy needs to inspire the squad from last year to believe they can do much better.

Roll on the pre-season optimism

By TJL on Jul 2, 10 03:44 PM in

NOW that we no longer have to spend our time pretending that England have a chance of winning the World Cup, our attention can shift to much more important matters. No, not Wimbledon. I refer, of course, to Coventry City's player recruitment drive, and the accompanying sense of optimism that builds with every new player choosing to sign on the dotted line.

FOLLOWING on from Sky Blue Kev's blog, I've always been of the mind that watching England isn't a lot different from viewing the Sky blues.

They both build up your hopes call it hype if you like, then just when you think something good is about to happen BANG they deflate you big style.
