Boardroom5 Jun 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Coventry City

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market5 Jun 2028

Taiwo Awoniyi raises the bar for Coventry City

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Coventry City heard it as anything else.

Market5 Jun 2028

Victor Torp attracts admirers

The name of Victor Torp has come up in conversations Coventry City were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Loum Tchaouna wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Coventry City know it.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Carl Rushworth in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Coventry City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Bryan Marín arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Bryan Marín has, at Coventry City, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Luke Woolfenden signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luke Woolfenden and Coventry City agree another 4 years.

Transfer targets5 Jun 2028

Door shut on Tom Cannon

Coventry City asked and Arsenal said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market5 Jun 2028

Bobby Thomas is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Coventry City has been clear about where Bobby Thomas stands, which is more than many ever get.

Match20 Nov 2027

Chastening afternoon for Caxias

A 0‑3 beating by Maringá was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Mateus Claus stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market22 Nov 2027

Bryan Marín hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Caxias can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Roberto frozen out at Caxias

This is not rotation. Roberto has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Caxias is pretending otherwise.

Match20 Nov 2027

The wait goes on for Caxias

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match20 Nov 2027

The goals have deserted Caxias

5 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Caxias can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Roberto is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 36 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Words at Caxias training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Léo Andrade is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Words exchanged at Caxias

Igo Gabriel and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The Caxias Chronicle

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad27 Sep 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Calyson

63 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Caxias lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Yilber Aponzá breaks a bone — 75 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 75 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A one-man rearguard from Mateus Claus

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Dudu Mosconi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Caxias this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

No hiding place for Bryan Marín

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bryan Marín, and the manager let it.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Eduardo Silva chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Calyson knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Caxias, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match25 Sep 2027

Caxias and Figueirense cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Figueirense came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Léo Andrade shuts the door

Defensive actions: 12, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Henrique Souza breaks a bone — 37 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 37 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match28 Aug 2027

4 matches without a win for Caxias

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Caxias are no longer polite ones.

Match28 Aug 2027

4 matches without a goal for Caxias

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Caxias

Igo Gabriel and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Calyson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match28 Aug 2027

Floresta take the points off Caxias

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Eduardo Silva answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Bryan Marín gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Tico is still paying for one afternoon at Caxias

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief
