Was a bit of a handful but who would you leave out to accomodate him?
Would deffo strengthen the squad.

I hope we stick with 442, we are much better in that shape. Trying to sit back will not work, we need the danger of the attacking outlet otherwise they will pile forward.

No idea.....

Lovely day in Sunderland too today. 18/19 degrees. Definitely one for a back garden bbq!

I'm in Balloch on the banks of Lomand.

Get in Bob lad. That's what's it about. Enjoy mate

 

[Bob the Mackem]

And as RLB said we needed nervous of steel, and barnesy said the same but nervous worked for us last night

 

[Gil T Azell]

Your definitely on a mission this morning mate .

 

[RTB]

Never doubted RLB

in and emotional wreck but both our goals and the jobe strike against Ballard where the best three chances of the game

what a ****ing result

Just check your posts marra

We were heavily linked with him when he went to Huddersfield.

I think it will be more of the same but a little less extreme in its “one way-ness”. We need to be careful not to leave huge gaps because that’s where Coventry thrive. They’ve struggled all season against compact defences like we had last night so as far as I’m concerned we’d be silly to completely switch it up and go expansive, so I don’t think we will. Need the fans to stay onboard with the approach and not get frustrated.

I fully agree that this should be the approach. Compact but with a little more of the ball. It's why I wouldn't be totally shocked to see Rigg in for one of the strikers in the second game. The extra man in midfield to control the game a little at the expense of being quite as explosive on the counter.

He's brilliant. If we go up, I'd like to see us make a move for him.

 

[Whittylad]

Brilliant Brilliant performance. Not much else to say as it's all been said. Ballard immense Dan Neil cracking game. No one let us down. I asked for 100% leave nothing out there and that's what they all did. Roll on Tuesday won't be easy but we can do it. Haway the lads.

I hope not but could understand it if he went that way.

A good friend of mine is a Cov fan. Text me to say he was about to go into a bar in Berlin to watch the game. Text me 5 later to say it was full of mackems.

 

[RTB]

Spot on mate. It's funny the bickering and posts of that ilk only come from the same 3 or 4.

Anyway, great result, sets us up for Tuesday. Should be good. Got the biggest work presentation ever on Wednesday morning too haha

Some of us also create threads, give the players credit and actually enjoy supporting the club
