UpTheVilla26 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Decent game this, Leicester on top but can't find the final ball but Coventry look half decent, especially Palmer in Midfield. As others have said, Simms ain't been great. I've lost count the amount of times they've been in a promising position and he's given possession away. Needs an early goal in the 2nd half to spark it.

Villatillidie95 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 cov just scored from a corner, their captain mcfadzean with a decent header, goalie beaten at near post. Simms has struggled in front of goal and when trying to take on defenders but he did work hard there and win that corner for the goal, i think he will be useful for them in that way, maybe not a prolific goalscorer but a hardworker who contributes in other ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Vardy still playing? Was sure he was going to retire. Looked well past it last season and utterly uninterested. Guess he's sitting on a very well paid contract he didn't want to give up. Leicester has so much money sitting on the bench, they will be bleeding money this season even if they manage to get rid of a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Surprised Hamer is still at Cov tbh, great passing range on him and quite a combative midfielder. Would do well in the premier league, West ham could do worse than signing him, think he would do quite well there, they might be able to get him for 20 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
