Wel I would imagine there is a negotiation but bearing in mind that Spurs have only signed him on the 1st January, he is a future asset that they want to toughen up and adjust to English football. We are a convenient location, with good facilities, an excellent manager and coach, with a rising reputation for improving young players. They will probably have instigated this. |

I very much doubt we are paying anything for him. |

Pal is a strange one. Has had spells where I'd say yes and others where I'd say no.
Started well under Mr Ego, then went off the boiler😳😁 and was being targeted. Has recently come back strongly. He does have a good leap when he is on his game and is fast tricky players who he can find difficult to handle.
Parker was different class, amazing defender for his size. Wilson, I only remember as an attacking full back. I can't really recall his defending but do remember he pushed Rufus out of the team at LB. |

I think he came back reasonably well after that and he was played on the wrong side in that game.
However,, on what we have seen from him so far, I'm not sure he is physical enough to play as a starter in a back four. Opponents will move a big forward over to his side and target him. I think he is more suited as an attacking sub or wing back.
I hope he can avoid another injury and comes back stronger ready to challenge for a place next season. |

......because his greed, bloody great ego and mates in the media convinced him that he is a top top top manager and he couldn't resist another crack at the premier.
He probably thought he could keep us up and get a bigger club again or the national job. |

Thank you for accepting that I didn't blame the defeat on the ref.
Well he gave a free kick for a foul on Smyth, on the edge of the box. So I thought that warranted a yellow.
Then there was the foul on Field.
There was repeated fouling by Wednesday, I can't remember all the incidents or who was involved, yet they only got one yellow.
I agree I've seen worse time wasting and referees.. Nevertheless, there was a fair bit and he failed to act. |

I had a hip operation last year and had the same issue with the steps. I contacted the club and they moved me and Mrs FB down to the paddocks up near the away end. Only needed it for one match. |

I wasn't blaming him for losing and pleased don't say that I did, in order to become more entrenched in your statement. SW were the better team and deserved their win.
However, as virtually everybody on here and Marti (except you), think he allowed excessive fouling, missed several yellow cards, delivered plenty of time delaying chat, allowed players and staff to stroll on and off the pitch in their own time and did nothing to hurry up play anytime it had stopped for a goal kick, throw etc.
If you missed all of that, then I don't know what else to say. |

You mean that's not your real hair in the photo or is it just a very old picture from the 70s.😁 |

Really? You must have been watching a different game to the one at which Marti was in the technical area. |

Well that's why most teams rest players for at least the third round.
I can't remember whether McClaren rested many players for cup games apart from the Blackpool league cup game when in the 3rd round he played the kids. However, it has been said that he wore Eze and others out. Maybe the cup games added to it. |

Marti doesn't hide behind excuses. He doesn't do the Warburton thing of making a big deal out of the fixture list and then watching a self fulfilling prophecy.
Fatigue was a factor, only making one change, in hindsight, didn't work. Marti did, fleetingly, mention Plymouth and Hull away btb, in consecutive seasons, in a recent interview.
Wednesday were probably more able to raise their game, as a reaction to recent poor results and not travelling any further than Elland Road in the last week. Paterson who I have always thought of as a big old donkey, was particularly motivated, and played well, in apparently his first game in a year.
On the day from about thirty minutes in, they got on top and were the better team. Credit to them and their manager.
I also think that the ref was atrocious and did little to stop their cheating. |

To add to the devil's advocacy, there are two things that are always recently against us.
The heavy fixture list just before round 3 and the size and quality of our squad.
As an aside, our best recent cup cup run was under McClaren when we lost to Watford in round 5. On 3rd day we were 8th in the table. McLaren was sacked at the end of March with us in 17th. We dropped to 19th by the season end. |

Question from the devils advocate:-
If you were a Coventry fan would you be happy that the run to the unlucky semi final loss last season, probably wore the squad out physically and mentally and was a huge factor in not making the play offs? |

To have all five fit at once would be a luxury that we rarely experience. As things are we can ease the others back in from the bench and rotate later in the season when/if all remain fit. |

It helps that Pal is playing much better than he was. MF has rarely had to rush over and cover him in the last few games. |
