Coventry City: "Dom Hyam has not been included in the matchday squad following a transfer offer being accepted for the defender in the last 24 hours. The Club will update fans further once we are able to do so."

Gally & Brittain are injured

Dack is Back! Sharp has gone with the above, suprised we've gone 5 at the back.

You haven't named the people involved. Be nice to give them a shout out.

Poveda off to B/pool on loan

You know that external income goes to cover losses right?

Stole unbeaten in last 7 league games at Ewood. Time to end the hoodoo.

I think we signed him as an ACM to compete with Dack....Markanday is a wide-man essentially. Different players who offer different things. It's like comparing BBD and Szmodics.

That's the spirit! It's that kind of positive attitude that will keep us all warm this winter!!

Zeefuik and Giles contributed so little I'd forgotten about them.

Not unheard of. It'll be Phillips again then. Carter not going to start according to Sharpe.

No, he stated it as fact. I just pointed out the obvious.

The two are linked though, clearly. Take the CM position. The likes of Davenport and Johnson contributed virtually nothing. Rothwell contributed. So we've effectively lost 1 player there who had any kind of positive impact on the team. Rothwell has been replaced by Morton. Rothwell has also been replaced (effectively) by Buckley. We've also gone from 3CM's to 2CM's so we're actually in a healthier position than last season, numbers wise. I'd prefer we brought someone in as competition for the Travis role. We'd be in trouble if he got injured. I agree that Van Hecke and Lenihan are big misses - presumably why we are signing Cualker and Hyam (who you missed out). Still talk of SVDB to come back...and we also have Philips and Carter. So again, we don't really know if we'll be 'weaker' as again we've gone from 3CB's to 2CB's. Khadra has already been replaced by Szmodics as they both count part of the '4 forwards' JDT employs. Dack coming back also makes us stronger. Add in a fit Markanday and a new improved Hedges and again we are arguably stronger than last season as far as attackers go. And we are going to sign someone else apparently. The big loss will be BBD going - hopefully there is a plan in place for that happening. I'd also prefer a better LB but maybe that will wait until they find one. So all-in-all there is an argument to stay we are not any weaker, and potentially stronger.

Which of the Departed Dozen do you think we miss?

Caulker not signed in time?

You couldn't possibly know that considering Hyam, Caulker and Morton have yet to play in the Championship for Rovers. Thank for proving the point though that you and a few others write players off that Rovers sign even when you don't know anything about them.

I read somewhere when we were first linked that we were doubling his wages.

You seem to be confusing praising a player with not writing a player off. I felt this distinction needed making ASAP to avoid causing you any further distress.

Is this street talk from those road men chaps?

You'll need him with your defence.

Excellent news that we've agreed a deal with Coventry for Hyam. A CB that knows the Championship and is just about to enter his best years. Hopefully the personal terms etc are a formality.

Carter and Hedges both available

Blackburn Rovers expected to make three new signings before transfer deadline | Lancashire Telegraph JDT said 3

I think JDT has hinted players might leave. Maybe Carter out on loan for another season?

Good players can play for shite teams, if indeed they are shite. And as I don't know you, I don't trust your judgement. Sorry👍
