David Speedie And The Best Goal You’ve Never Seen.
Behave yourself, pal. You’ve got no business shooting from there. No business at all.
You have to admire the resilience and persistence of players like Jay Dasilva, Coventry City’s matchwinner. Quite a journey the 28-year-old left-back's been on. 50 games in League One, 245 Championship, now 5 games in PL. He was a youth star at Chelsea, won FA Youth Cup x3, Uefa Youth League x2 (with Christensen and Loftus-Cheek, Mount and Tomori).
Didn’t make the first-team grade, sent out on loan to Charlton, then loaned and signed for Bristol City, played plenty but also endured stress fracture and shin injuries. Released by Bristol City, joined Coventry on a free. Last season, Dasilva suffered the frustration at Wales losing shootout to Bosnia-Herzegovina and not qualifying for 2026 World Cup. But got promotion, and now a Premier League match-winner 🙌 #PUSB
Coventry aren't bad and have the ability to work it wide and into dangerous positions really well at times.
Dare I say they could have done what Chelsea did( within their budget) and looked for a Henderson, Welbeck, Xhaka type to help a lot of rookies through?
Even Villa's evolution relies heavily on McGinn and the older guard.
Maybe something for the Sky Blues to look at in January.
Burton Albion is pleased to announce the signing of Raphael Borges Rodrigues on a season-long loan from Premier League outfit Coventry City.
The Australian youth international made 44 appearances for fellow Sky Bet League One side Wigan Athletic last season.

Rangers fans giving it large to Celtic for not making the Champions League, only to then exit Europe COMPLETELY themselves a few days later.
