Match Day Thread Blackburn Rovers v Norwich City, Sat 30th August, ko 15.00 hrs

Saved by a penalty in the 16th minute of 13minutes additional time AGAIN

 

In the 14th minute of extra time. Didn't they get one deep into extra time in their first match to get a draw?

 

16 minutes into injury time?? FFS

 

95th minute against Birmingham

 

Good to see Crnac put in a good performance today, unlucky to come away without a goal or assist to his name.

McLean did well stepping back into midfield.

Darling…WOW this guy is class!

 

First clean sheet for Kovacevic too

 

Agree with that. Crnac had his best game this year and the midfield looks so much more composed when McLean plays. Darling is always top class but today he was exemplary - one of our best free transfer signings ever.

 

Darling always looks calm & composed , he makes it look easy reminds me of Rio Ferdinand in his day .

Sargent 5 in 5 & top scorer , surely we have to hang on to him

 

Crnac rated 8.1 by Sofascore, same as Darling. Interesting comparison there with WhoScored who rate him among the poorest City performers. Didn't see enough of the match to apply the eye test, but from what others are saying, it looks as if Sofascore are nearer the mark.

 

I'd say his performance was between the two but it was certainly his best so far. Remember that Sofa score starts from a base of 6.5 whereas WhoScored starts from 6.

 

Yes, but it's the relative, not the absolute, rating where the discrepancy is. Algorithm matters!

 

Peach

 

Assisted by Shlupp

 

Great way to seal the match with class. He's actually scored 5 goals in 4 league games and another in the cup.

 

Coventry 2nd 3rd & 9th combined 10 goals .
Unpredictable league

 

I like the way he taps his badge after scoring. Very reassuring after the Núñez departure.

 

Yeah, but we need to consider who Coventry has been playing:

 

Super Frank

 

Pukki?
