Leeds apparently took something over 6,300 to the Ricoh last season.

I think that the concern may be because of memories of Martin Allen and his fourteen stars. That was an even bigger influx of players, he was a good talker and it was Milan's first season in charge. Most fans started that season full of optimism . However. from our first match losing at home to Blackpool it was clear something was wrong, the new players turned out to be poor and for whatever reason we were relegated.
Yes we have another influx of players but this time it is very different. Obviously the managers are very different. Benfica and Lazio would no doubt think twice before appointing Martin Allen. Sven has already proved himself as a Leicester manager by saving us from relegation. The players Sven has signed are experienced in English football. Unlike Allen's "right back United" the signings make sense; Sven has signed two right backs but he has signed players throughout the team. The players who have come here are not ones with known attitude problems - no Dennis Wise and no Stan Collymore that we know of.
There will no doubt be a problem for a few games as our players will still need to learn each others game. Unlike under Sousa the players will be fit, unlikke under Allen they will be good enough and morale will be high - bring on the season.

Sorry, deleted that as it looked horrendous! For info, posted the coventry squad list. I'd say there danger men are clingan, platt, mcsheffrey and eastwood.

Any team that loses to Cov this season will look very silly.

My guess at Sven's starting line-up...

Sorry, that wasn't aimed directly at you and I was unaware on a streak of x amount of games. Was just meant to be a throw away comment to stoke the fire a bit of posters that seem to think you need to go to every game in order to voice an opinion.

Clingan is the only worry, I can't believe I'm actually posting as to which Cov player is worth worrying about...

That'd be my choice, Fernandes holding, Johnson a little more advanced and King making those lovely runs into the box. Wowzers.

Have to say Johnson looked woefully unfit against Madrid and he was only on for 45 mins!!
Made little attempt to track back as he didn't have anything in the tank.
Shouldn't be anywhere near the starting X1 in my opinion
