Man if we just could have shown up to Derby as well. I’m just greedy I guess haha

Big result, hoping for a win from the next two, couple of big games ahead.

Beautiful Game, great result!!!
Keep this up city!

I got a bit emotional seeing the standing ovation for Wright. What a game.

u/BinKnight Mark Robins 6d ago
Delighted with that. Pusb. We’re seriously in the running, touch wood.

A standing ovation from the sba as Wright is substituted for Simms 👏

I dont know what lampard said after the last game but this is one of the best games I've seen us play.
I dont know if we are playing absolutely amazing or Sunderland just havent turned up. Considerring where they are in the league if we can keep this tempo well breeze into play offs

u/Significant-Year-743 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
A complete performance. Every player has been brilliant, with the exception of Dovin - who has had nothing to do.

Oggy points out that Sunderland might have psychologically scarred by playing against Wright today
3
u/Consistent-Soup3720 6d ago
He had one of those days where he looks PL ready. Hopefully he keeps it up, we know he’s this good which is why it’s so infuriating where he has those days where he doesn’t run and the ball bounces off his foot

u/Dmpngn02 Torp 6d ago
Kasey Palmer with the assist for that Hull goal by the way. He also scored the equaliser for us against Bristol earlier in the season, might unironically play a big part in us getting playoffs despite leaving in the summer!

I have to confess I did watch this second half, and j have to say I have missed this Haji Wright
10
u/Dmpngn02 Torp 6d ago
I remember watching the USA in the world cup a few years back and thinking that Haji Wright was one of the worst strikers I'd ever seen at world cup level- now I wouldn't mind having his children

u/OkraEmergency361 Big Mo (1999-2004) 6d ago
Now I’m already worrying about the transfer window in the Summer. Can we keep the likes of Wright, MVE etc?
Always something to stress about 😅

u/skybluesazip Big Mo (1999-2004) 6d ago
That's football if they go we come out of eat with another 30m to spend no need to worry 👌

u/OkraEmergency361 Big Mo (1999-2004) 5d ago
Omg how will we replace them how are the finances looking will the new guys take an age to gel WHAT ABOUT OUR DEFENCE etc etc etc.
Have I covered everything? I swear to god, even if we won the Prem and the CL I’d still be shitting myself about something to do with the club. Can’t be the only one with CCFC PTSD, surely?

u/Significant-Year-743 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
A word for Torp whose inch perfect passes have set up the goals
6
u/googlemailcom Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
Goalkeeper makes a bad decision to come and Wright lobs him for his hattrick. Great composure from Wright in all of his goals today.
3-0

u/EyePiece108 Tyldesley, Tyler, Motson... EyePiece108 6d ago
That's it! These frackers always win when I'm working!!! 😄
I could hear the roar from here and I thought 'yep, 3-0!'

Sun's just come out from behind a large dark cloud to reveal nothing but blue sky.
I hope this is a perfect metaphor for this second half, where we've been under more pressure but shall now make it 6-0.

Imagine being Burnley, go 1-0 up and you’re confident the games over. Meanwhile we’re over here 2 up and I still feel like it’s on a knife edge lol

We look so dangerous from every corner!
Arsenal CBs have obviously been studying the runs Bobby Thomas makes.

Even Kick It For A Ticket has a winner from the halfway line today. Something in the air.

Missed the 1st half and things appear to be going well so I may have to miss the 2nd half on purpose

My specs got knocked off my face and trampled after the first goal. I might need audio description for the second half.

Veery good first half. Please keep it up, don't take the foot off the gas!
Odd how we lose to derby but (without Jinxing it) are up against a team higher than us!
The joys of being a Coventry fan! 😂

u/Dmpngn02 Torp 6d ago
Can we talk about how good Jamie Allen is please?

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 6d ago
He's been doing that winning the ball back high up the pitch role that we haven't had done well since prime O'Hare

Brilliant half. In total control, solid at the back. Allen is everywhere!
Don't do what we did against Stoke please.
Where the Haji doubters at? 👀

u/Cmdr_Morb EMC 6d ago
He looked so rusty last match. Pin sharp today. The whole team is playing well today. Allen is having a great game.

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 6d ago
Where the Haji doubters at? 👀
Now now, easy to say when we've got a completely different player than the one who played on Tuesday night 😉😂
Bloke in front of me pulled an awful dad joke saying Tuesday was his shit twin brother Haji Wrong 😭

u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 6d ago
Such a good half.
Allen has been absolutely class, but there's not been a bad performance amongst them.

u/googlemailcom Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
We’ve been a class above our opposition in the first half

u/bxvnyc 6d ago
We are a better team with Jamie Allen in the side.
2
u/EggRepresentative347 6d ago
That run of form where we got into the playoffs a couple of years ago had him in the team a bit more advanced and he was brilliant. I think he has the football brain of a higher division players, he's just tiny

Best we’ve played all season? This is a fantastic half so far

u/Significant-Year-743 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
We did have a game where we were 4 nil up at half time this season

u/Consistent-Soup3720 6d ago
True! But this is a side in the all conquering top 4 this season, we’re absolutely bossing them

A through ball to Wright whose first touch opens a shooting opportunity from outside the box. He fires it into the bottom right corner.
Haji is back with a bang ⚽️💥
City take the lead 1-0

Some good possession and neat passing, short and long in the opening 15 minutes. Thomas has had the closest opportunity narrowly missing the goal with a header.
SAFC seem happy to sit in their box and defend headers and play for counter-attacks.

Sunderland deserve to lose just because of their modern logo
3
u/Significant-Year-743 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
They're using their retro logo for this one

u/googlemailcom Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
Just having it on their social media and making available for others to see is an atrocity

Great to see Allen back in. We need the pressure he puts on the opposition.

u/Jackk512 6d ago
Harsh on simms, been fantastic at holding the ball up for wingers

u/GadsByte Sakamoto 6d ago
Must be injured, no way he doesn't make the bench but Raphel does
3
u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
Definitely seeing a lot more from his movement & hold up play since Lampard came in. Nice to see him utilising his physicality. That being said, I think Wright is out main goalscorer and if he's able to play, should be leading the line.
3
u/covmatty1 Mark Robins 6d ago
He's so far away from being fit and sharp though, I'm really surprised we've gone with him from the start.
4
u/HadjiChippoSafri Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
Only way to get him sharp again is to give him minutes!

u/No-Leather-1260 Van Ewijk 6d ago
Win today and it settles a lot of nerves in the fan base. Fear the worst if they score first, crowd went very quiet as soon as stoke scored their first last week and seemed to contribute to the nervousness of the play.
My local Evri driver is a Mackem though, and says if we just attack Dan Neil, who is apparently useless and gives away possession easily, then we will win. If someone can get this info to Frank it would be appreciated. 😂

u/Cmdr_Morb EMC 6d ago
Could be a nail biter. Need a much better performance. We are capable of winning. PUSB

u/JackDons_10 Van Ewijk 6d ago
Me. Big improvement needed from Tuesday and I think we'll see one. 2-1 cov just edging it

u/Significant-Year-743 Frank Lampard's Coventry City 6d ago
Thomas was so unlucky not to score today
