Doug Tharme on a permanent is an unbelievable bit of business, watched him play for Blackpool this season and he was very very good.

Decisive, especially a strengthening of defence with a signing from a league above.

Hopefully, the new No10 needed, and some raw pace and eagerness to impress from the young lad from Coventry.

Clean sheets needed more than anything to begin with, please?

Cov fans raving about the forward we've signed saying there's no way he should be in L2. Quick and powerful forward that loves going in behind and we've already heard from Hull fans about Harry Wood. Looks like we've addressed 3 areas we very much needed to address.

Harry Wood will obviously from this point on be known as Harry Woods...

HMS urine the League.

That meme of a seagull about to burst into a chorus of E-I-E-I-E-I-O...

All that jazz.



In all honesty Wood is the only one I've heard of and that was only because he was mentioned on a couple of threads the other day and sounds promising based on that.   However I think I prefer the signings you've never heard of as opposed to the ones you recognise and then ultimately let you down.

Coventry have got quite a decent youth set-up and if Obikwu has anywhere near the amount of attacking talent that Will Bapaga had then we're in for a treat.  

On paper it's the signing of Tharme that I find most interesting.  Young, from a higher level and you hope adds a bit more pace to the backline.  I'm sure the critics will already have identified that will potentially mean that we've got the pairing at centre-back in Tharme and Rodgers that played the bulk of the games in a relegation season....Alas, let's just wait and see first, yeah?

Assuming this isn't ironic that's a welcome asset too.

Not in the slightest bit concerned by the mixed reviews.  A) It's a higher level.  B) McAtee/Nolan/literally everyone we've ever signed.

Perhaps we can all (appreciate not all) chill now and respect our number 3. Leave the manager and owners alone through this difficult time.and get behind the players, staff and directors. X

Coventry supporters seem quite effusive about Obikwu's potential so hopefully he turns out to be an exciting option up top.

Tharme on a 2.5 year contract from Blackpool with an undisclosed fee paid is uhh interesting. Apparently has a very long throw but he never broke through with them. Aside from a couple of EFL Trophy appearances he's only featured in a matchday squad in League One once this season where he didn't even make it off the bench. His only real league experience was getting relegated out of League One alongside Harvey Rodgers in an Accrington Stanley side that conceded in 77 goals in 2022-23. I'm not sure i'd be jumping through hoops to recreate that defensive partnership... guess we'll just have to wait and see on this one!
