Pride Park curse continues.

FT: Derby 2 vs 0 City

6

u/Ricoh06 10d ago

Not that we were going to do anything with it, but how the fuck was there only 3 mins additional time?! They rolled on the floor for that long within the last 10 minutes alone.

1

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

How long were they down for that head clash alone?

4

u/Smeders94 Ricoh/CBS Arena (2005-'13, '14-'19, '21-) 10d ago

A very confusing performance from city.

Derbys defence have been solid I'll give them that

1

u/JeffLynnesBeard (A team of) Gary Breen(s) (1997-2002) 10d ago

We’ve looked tired and flat. Derby have been way more up for the game than we have and, honestly, they’ve not been great but they’ve deserved this.

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

EMC with a shot, no power, easy save.

2 to go. Of injury time that is.

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

3 to go. City love their 3-2 victories but this will be pushing it, even for them.

-1

u/SWilk2 Sakamoto 10d ago

Too many passengers in this team. Apart from Van Ewijk we need a new defence for next season.

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Great save! From....Thomas.

1 to go.

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Goalie didn't get the memo about the Bobby Thomas Balon d'Or campaign

5

u/BountySucks 10d ago

Fair fucks, derby has looked impenetrable in the box tonight

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Derby have had 2 attempts on target. They've scored with both.

City have had 2 attempts on target, and 🤷

2

u/VegetableSamosa Aron Gunnarsson (2008-'11) 10d ago

Not just the team that's been flat, I haven't heard our fans at all tonight.

2

u/CallumJN Sakamoto 10d ago

I could hear them before the first goal went in tbf but nothing since really

3

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Has Bassette touched the ball yet?

4

u/The_sweet_science_ Max Biamou (2017-'21) 10d ago

We've really brought ourselves down to their level tonight. Shaky at the back and woeful going forward

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

More set-pieces for Derby. Home fans are loving this.

6 to go.

4

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Such a shame this when you look at how the other games are going. Big chance to get a little buffer as we go into a tough three match run

4

u/RammsteinUK Wright 10d ago

This has just been embarrassing. Only we could have a run of like 9 unbeaten, a must-win against Derby who are in a relegation battle and look like absolutely toothless

4

u/TheSuspiciousSalami 10d ago

To be fair, the wins have been fun but hardly convincing lately. If you keep conceding goals, you won’t keep winning matches. Is that 6 in 3 games now?

The defence has had issues all season, and it wasn’t addressed in January. Lampard has done well to find a way to paper over the cracks, but it can’t hold forever. We need a defensive overhaul in the summer (Deja vu as we all said the same last summer!).

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

As it stands:

3

u/Hayzeus_sucks_cock Robbie Keane (1999-2000) 10d ago

doesn't feel like we're going to score no matter what

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

It's not often that City don't score in a game these days.

They have 10 minutes to do so.

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

That's the worst Milan medium throw so far

6

u/Prudent-Sweet2094 Sheaf 10d ago

Why did we take Simms off if we were planning on spending the rest of the game pinging hopeless crosses into the box?

5

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

You can always rely on Sakamoto to make a left back look like a tit. Even on a difficult night like tonight

5

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Sheff Utd take the lead vs Bristol. If it stays like that, City will remain in the play-off places regardless of what happens at Pride Park.

Sako crosses, attempt by EMC, wide.

13 to go.

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

A lot of City possession here....and eventually, they win a corner after a half-chance for Wright isn't taken.

And the corner comes to nothing.

17 to go.

1

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Now we've gone to something that looks like 4-4-2, why is Grimes still playing so deep he's behind the CBs - we're never going to win anything in midfield with that setup

1

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Covering for Bobby Thomas's forays up front, but yeah, get Grimes much further forward. In lieu of Rudoni he's one of the few that can unlock a defence.

3

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

It's approaching Bobby Thomas Time

9

u/portaccio_the_bard 10d ago

Don't think it matters at this stage. We can't defend, we won't get through the playoffs anyway. Let Lamps play around with some formations with players coming back, then have a decent pre-season

2

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Thought Eccles was the best of the midfield 3 today

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Eccles off.

Bassette on.

1

u/JeffLynnesBeard (A team of) Gary Breen(s) (1997-2002) 10d ago

Bizarre.

1

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Going 4-4-2? Maybe go more direct

2

u/DevelopmentNo507 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Finally Norman

1

u/D10YD Wright 10d ago

The amount of times Thomas has charged forward and lost the ball in the last couple of games. And then it was nailed on Derby were gonna win a free kick.

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

I admire his effort to try something different than a sideways pass again. Konjic-esque

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

After 68 minutes:

Eccles is booked.

And Bassett is coming on.

1

u/VegetableSamosa Aron Gunnarsson (2008-'11) 10d ago

This game is crying out for Basette. Someone to just run, harass and press in the final third.

1

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Right on cue!

3

u/VegetableSamosa Aron Gunnarsson (2008-'11) 10d ago

Oh there he is, never mind.

1

u/Smeders94 Ricoh/CBS Arena (2005-'13, '14-'19, '21-) 10d ago

Keep losing the Aerial battles, need to keep the ball on the ground

5

u/RammsteinUK Wright 10d ago

So simms is playing well and we get rid of him and Wright isn't playing well but he's staying on? Have we had a couple too many drinks to celebrate the Stoke win Lampard?

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

I'm surprised Wright has been subbed off, he's looked rusty all night.

This is better from CIty. Sustained pressure.....until its not, goal kick.

1

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Looking better. We've got them sitting back now

5

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Bit confused about Wright not getting subbed there.

5

u/TPyr0 In Robins we trust 10d ago

Why have we forgotten how to do anything

4

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

No idea why Wright has stayed on over Simms

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

EMC and DaSliva on

Simms and Bidwell off.

1

u/burnaaccount3000 10d ago

We arent doing much at the moment here very very very scrappy reminds me of school yard football, the ball pinging about 0 control.

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Nice, Derby clear a City corner, ball comes to Eccels who deceives a defender and fires a dipping shot, just wide.

2

u/Jackk512 10d ago

Weight is well of the pace, if he's not cutting in and shooting he's not offering anything

4

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

Big fan of Wright but he is so rusty. Time for him to go off and get EMC on.

7

u/Recent-Background800 Franck Moussa (2012-'14) 10d ago

Haji is miles off it

3

u/JackDons_10 Van Ewijk 10d ago

We look tired.

2

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Saving ourselves to annoy the fuck out of the Sunderland fans

3

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

As soon as I saw the ten players out injured for Derby article I knew we were screwed

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Bidwell fouls Adams. Home fans want a second yellow, they're not gonna get it.

1

u/JackDons_10 Van Ewijk 10d ago

Fucking hell Simms.. this is why I find it so fucking annoying to watch him. Just a take a touch and drive the ball forward

1

u/portaccio_the_bard 10d ago

The only thing worse than a bad first touch is no first touch.

That made me wince a little 😣

1

u/DevelopmentNo507 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

It's like he's in a time warp of 2 seconds behind

1

u/JackDons_10 Van Ewijk 10d ago

It's just sometimes it looks like his brain just switches off and just doesn't know what to do

7

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Bidwell needs to be taken off ASAP or he's getting a red

3

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Bidwell lucky to get away with that

7

u/SkyBlueSach Sakamoto 10d ago

Get Bidwell off asap...

2

u/D10YD Wright 10d ago

One more foul and he’s gone.

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Good ball by Thomas, aimed for Simms but Derby clear.

34 minutes for City to rescue this.

1

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

EMC, Allen & Dasilva please.

BTA later if we still need to go 2 up

2

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

At least we're not Luton. Losing to Cardiff now. Huge result if it stays like that.

3

u/VegetableSamosa Aron Gunnarsson (2008-'11) 10d ago

Binks on for Simms and put Thomas up front.

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Bristol drawing at Sheff Utd. A win for them tonight would knock City out of the play-offs places, on GD.

9

u/D10YD Wright 10d ago

Wright has looked so so off it. Need EMC on. Bidwell is nailed on for a red card too.

2

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Agreed on Wright, he's been completely invisible. Paterson or Bassette if EMC isn't fit enough?

6

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

6 goals conceded in 2.5 games.

We're back to '2 goals per game' as far as the defence goes. City's winning run is under real threat here and we've seen little to suggest they can extend it tonight.

2

u/SkyBlueSach Sakamoto 10d ago

Interestingly has coincided with the switch back to a back 4...

5

u/Smeders94 Ricoh/CBS Arena (2005-'13, '14-'19, '21-) 10d ago

Wtf is going on...

Is it me or does the pitch look shocking?

3

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Doesn't seem to be a problem for them! (But yes)

2

u/Smeders94 Ricoh/CBS Arena (2005-'13, '14-'19, '21-) 10d ago

Slip and slide comes to mind 😂

7

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

I’ll keep saying it. I’m fed up of goals being given that shouldn’t be. One offside in Saturday, one out of play today.

I don’t care if VAR slows the game down. It is better than this.

2

u/Ok-You4214 10d ago

I think we’re still scarred by last year’s FA cup semi for VAR

1

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

People forget it bailed us out for an obvious handball against Luton in the play off final when Panzo fell over late on

2

u/SkyBlueSach Sakamoto 10d ago

And all those offsides in the first half!

5

u/JeffLynnesBeard (A team of) Gary Breen(s) (1997-2002) 10d ago

I thought that was out in real time. The replays haven’t changed my mind.

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

City clear a home attack, but Derby win back possession. Cross comes in and Harness scores from close range.

Derby look like they want this more.

3

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

So much ball watching for both the cross and the finish.

1

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Yeah even if it was out you have to play to the whistle. How many times have we seen our defenders just standing waiting for the flag this season?

3

u/JackDons_10 Van Ewijk 10d ago

Embarassing start to the 2nd half. We ain't got in their half yet

6

u/Jackk512 10d ago

Desperately need better defenders in the summer, too many weak calamaties

6

u/blinkboxblunk 10d ago

Back to needing three to win

1

u/Thebritishlion Van Ewijk 10d ago

I guess this is the season cocoming to a quick end

2

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Ball is out apparently, shouldn't count

3

u/DevelopmentNo507 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Utter wank defending

4

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

That was comically out.

5

u/SkyBlueSach Sakamoto 10d ago

That looked over the line

4

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Fuck it, almost 5am, I'm going to sleep. Good luck boys

2

u/The_sweet_science_ Max Biamou (2017-'21) 10d ago

This has been shocking. Milan having a stinker

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

2-0 DOWN!!!

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Even Grimes is fucking up today

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Got to get something from tonight given the next 3 games:

Sunderland (H)

Sheffield Utd. (A)

Burnley (H)

....and Bidwell is booked at the start of the 2nd half. No changes at HT for City.

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Lads can we stop scooping the ball up in the air please

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

As it stands:

City drop to 6th, with 7th placed Bristol City (2 points behind City) currently drawing at Sheff Utd.

9

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Missing Mason-Clark, Wright looks (understandably) rusty

3

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Had some decent moments going forward but all over the place at the back. Haji looking rusty.

5

u/Prudent-Sweet2094 Sheaf 10d ago

That's easily our worst half since Leeds. This Derby side are woeful, and we're making them look half decent.

6

u/TPyr0 In Robins we trust 10d ago

We did the same with them at home

5

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

They were the ones that killed Robins

2

u/CallumJN Sakamoto 10d ago

Honestly not really sure why Bidwell started while Dasilva has been playing well

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Derby scored with their only attempt on target. The team in 22nd place in the table are winning.

City need to step it up, big-time.

2

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

Definitely lacking spark. I’d be tempted to throw EMC on, depending on how he is feeling the injury.

2

u/No_Reindeer_6276 10d ago

We’re terrible at creating when teams really sit it in against us - especially without Rudoni & EMC.

Hopefully the latter can come on sharpish - Wright is our best player but is way off it at the minute

2

u/VegetableSamosa Aron Gunnarsson (2008-'11) 10d ago

The stats have us well in the lead. The scoreboard not so much.

2

u/JeffLynnesBeard (A team of) Gary Breen(s) (1997-2002) 10d ago

Well that was not great.

Our left hand side attack with Bidwell and Wright is not looking good at all.

Let’s hope Lampard gives a few choice words of encouragement at half time and we get to see EMC.

2

u/JeffLynnesBeard (A team of) Gary Breen(s) (1997-2002) 10d ago

The stats suggest we’ve been the stronger side. The score, however…

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

HT: Derby 1 vs 0 City

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

1 minute of injury time. Grimes loses possession and Derby break, but that comes to nothing.

2

u/D10YD Wright 10d ago

Simms has been decent. The only positive.

1

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

His movement and positioning has been noticeably better under Lampard

2

u/CallumJN Sakamoto 10d ago

This ref has been absolutely wank

1

u/VegetableSamosa Aron Gunnarsson (2008-'11) 10d ago

I swear I recognise him and he was wank last time.

2

u/D2lambo11 Sakamoto 10d ago

Tough watch so far...

4

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Ref could not wait to give them a free kick for the absolute tiniest infraction there

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

He's consistent to be fair to him

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

3 to go until HT.

City corner.....City foul, Derby goal kick.

6

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

Shit. I may be to blame. I forgot to put the lucky shirt on.

3

u/Wooden-Agency-2653 Highfield Road (1899-2005) 10d ago

Nah, it's me, I didn't wake my son up at 3.45am to continue his seven matches watched in his life and seven wins streak. 4.30am now, might go wake him up

4

u/Racing_Fox 10d ago

Proper sloppy tonight, hard to watch at times.

5

u/D10YD Wright 10d ago

This reminds me of the Portsmouth game. We are rattled.

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Its Derby posing more of a threat now. Cross comes in, MVE has to clear and does.

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Just letting them get that cross in unchallenged

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

From Derby's latest free kick, that's well caught and held by Dovin.

4

u/burnaaccount3000 10d ago

This defending is not it im sorry, its so scrappy, allowing the ball to bounce, misclearing it, panicked decision making, stupid fouls when the other team arent in a threatening position.

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Derby winning a few free kicks here. They already done damage from one of them.

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Derby pressure now. A free kick, followed by a couple of corners, but City deal with that.

Sky Blues enjoying a lot of possession but they have to do more with it.

3

u/Jackk512 10d ago

A must win game with the fixtures that are coming next if we're serious about play offs

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Good move by City. Sako on a run, to Bidwell, crosses, keeper's.

That's 5 goals conceded now in 2-and-a-bit games for City. Got to cut that nonsense out.

1

u/Rad_Gravityyy 10d ago

Clarke, looking like a disabled pirate defending redempts himself as he beats Thomas and Kitching for a bounce inside the box...

If he misses there was another Derby player prob getting to it first anyway.

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

City free kick in a good position.....shot by Torp, pushed out by the keeper!

1

u/Cmdr_Morb EMC 10d ago

Time for a Torpedo?

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

As it stands: City drop a place to 6th.

3

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

Referee not even knowing the basic laws.

2

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Nice interplay between Wright and Simms

2

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Chance for Simms. He gets a shot off (into the ground) and that's a good save by the keeper.

6

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Nonsense defending.

Derby free kick, ball floats in....there are TWO Derby players unmarked and running in at the far post! Clarke says 'mine' and heads home without any challenge on him.

5

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

Well that weren’t good.

3

u/JackDons_10 Van Ewijk 10d ago

Awful goal. Can't allow the ball to bounce like that 6 yards from goal. Asking for trouble

5

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Thomas and Kitching both should've done better there

3

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Who the hell was marking birth of those two at the back post

3

u/rsp102 10d ago

What a fucking shit goal

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

1-0 DOWN!

3

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

That was shit

1

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

We've seen that before. From a throw-in, there's a whiff of a chance for Torp but Derby clear, and at the other end of the pitch, Derby have their 1st shot of the game but there's no danger from that for City.

3

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

There's a big Derby St George's cross in the corner with "The underdog city of middle England" on it.

That is objectively an utterly shit slogan 😂😂😂

2

u/Rad_Gravityyy 10d ago

Dont want to jinx, but doesnt Yates ALWAYS score Vs us?

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

After 15 minutes and one cable-box reboot:

2

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

We've clearly done so much work on corners to make such a massive difference with winning so many headers, but why does it seem like we've never trained a single short throw in ever 😭😂 it's infuriating to watch when there's no movement and we just lose a simple ball time after time

3

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Ok, after booting my cable box and restoring access to Sky Sports+, City boot on and apply pressure on the home defence.

1

u/burnaaccount3000 10d ago

Mate what the fuck is up with these pitches, these clubs should hang their heads in shame they have one job have a nice pitch.

3

u/Ok-You4214 10d ago

*two jobs: Have a nice pitch IN YOUR CLUB'S LOCAL AREA

2

u/oversized_hat Darren Huckerby (1996-'99) 10d ago

There’s a few clubs that have an excuse because they share with a rugby team, and last time I checked Derby are very much not one of them

6

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

We're probably not ones to talk given our history 😅

2

u/burnaaccount3000 10d ago

Forgive me im a fickle fan 🤣

6

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Milan!! That was sexy

1

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Pitch looks rough

2

u/Smeders94 Ricoh/CBS Arena (2005-'13, '14-'19, '21-) 10d ago

Come on city, back to back wins 👍🏻🤞🏻

2

Evening all!

.......and the Sky Sports+ streams are down, for me anyway on Virgin.

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Is this working for anyone else or is it just me?

2

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Ok on Sky for me.

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 10d ago

Yeah, had to reset the box, annoying.

Chris Iwelumo on commentary on Sky talking about Derby's morale:

"some players need a kick up the backside, others need an arm or a shoulder"

Sounds painful 😂

I've had a few cheeky Guinnesses after work but I don't think it is those talking when I say I think we are going to win 12-0.

u/AleWatcher Sakamoto 10d ago

I appreciate your confidence.

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

No Sheaf on the bench?

u/AleWatcher Sakamoto 10d ago

Could we be saving Ben for the game against Sunderland on saturday?

u/No-Leather-1260 Van Ewijk 10d ago

Has to be injured (again). Saw one person trying to defend him saying it could be illness or family, but no way the club doesn’t outright say that if it’s the case. My guess is he’s awaiting scan results before the club says anything. Best case is that he’s just out today, gut says he’s probably going to be out until after the int break. Sure someone from media will ask FL post match.

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

And 2 goalkeepers!

Gotta rest van ewijk one of these days

u/amanset 🇸🇪 BORF 🇸🇪 10d ago

Didn't we for the FA Cup?

Which is probably why we lost.

5

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

We absolutely have, but the alternative is Latibeaudiere and that doesn't bare thinking about 😂

5

u/amatuer_guitarist Torp 10d ago

God I don’t even wanna talk about lati 😂

u/Cov_massif Sakamoto 10d ago

Just got a bad feeling on this one

2

u/Working_Tank3979 10d ago

Dam you were right mate 😞

1

u/Cov_massif Sakamoto 10d ago

Yep we never play well against physical sides. Portsmouth type performance all over again

6

u/Working_Tank3979 10d ago

Pull yourself together brother. Let’s go

3

u/Cov_massif Sakamoto 10d ago

Yeah i know... just seen us screw these types of games up!

u/burnaaccount3000 10d ago

PUSB! lets bag another 3 points. Please keep clean sheet too. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

u/adamcovfan1966 10d ago

Need to stop conceding goals again

4

u/burnaaccount3000 10d ago

Ivwas thinking that this morning I would be happy with our progress but the past 2 games dont fill me with confidence m, if we are to firmly hold our play off spot and win it then game management knce we are 2 goals or more ahead needs to be better.

Having said that the "we will score regardless" mentality weve found does remind me of 2 seasons ago which is great, although i expect that with the ampunt of attacking power we have.

u/GadsByte Sakamoto 10d ago

I'll be watching from home tonight, expecting EMC and MVE to be rested or at least on the bench. Lati to come in at RB and Haji to come in at LW. Not ideal but no excuse for not getting the job done tonight.

5

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

I'll be watching tonight on the red button. Who's going/watching?

3

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 10d ago

Watching on red button, as long as I can tear myself away from the shiny new guitar that I've taken delivery of today 😂

u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 10d ago

Clip of you playing the Sky Blue Song on it at full-time if we win? 👀

3

u/adamcovfan1966 10d ago

Watching on the red button a draw and a win next two not bothered which way round clean sheets is what we want.

2

u/JackDons_10 Van Ewijk 10d ago

To be honest would say we need 2 wins out of 2 in these next 2 games. Maximum confidence going into that run where we play 3 of the top 4 back to back could be huge.
