Wasn’t referring to that game where we were robbed, just a general observation as to where we are at this moment,
Hope Acun gets on the phone to you before he replaces Rosey. Cos clearly you know how to blood a young kid who's never played mens football in England before to much better effect.
Let’s be honest, despite a good first half, we were rather lucky to win that one! Will take it though. You can see that individually we have some fantastic players - and that will shock Ipswich. I don’t think they’ll play us off the park this time around. But we really need to work on our attacking play. Coventry, like many of the opposing teams, just manage to do it so quickly. That final bit of quality just let them down in the end. As I said pre-match, thank f*** they didn’t start the big guns! Overall, I’m pleased with the performance, especially the effort. Not as much time wasting at the back and having Delap and a more attacking mentality definitely helped us tonight. Looking forward to Saturday a lot. UTT.
That has to be one of the weirdest collections of incidents surrounding goals in a game that I’ve witnessed in a very long time. Just pleased that we came out on the right side of it this time. Even though I’m not expecting a miracle, it’s still nice to have something to play for at the right end of the table this close to the end of the season.
If Delap stays fit there's no need for Ohio though. And sharp probably becomes the squad asset he was intended to be. Sliding doors. Innit?
We weren't unlucky at all. In almost every sense we dominated them 3 to 1. If I were to criticise it's that we let 2 in, despite questions marks of officiating over both of them.
Agree. Ohio is just a much closer player to Delap in terms of physicality anyway so in terms of how we play best with a striker it would’ve made sense to play him more IMO
I think he's being introduced to very good effect. Personally. Were utilising his specific attributes at the right times and not expecting him to be a 'complete' option for any situation, which he clearly isn't. Yet.
Think we're looking for a few quid for Ingram. So he's strategically being recognised as an option in squad selections. Pandur is the long term option, but I suspect we're just reminding the league that Matty is still a very good championship keeper.
Greaves was superb again tonight, he just defends with so much ease now. I think whoever puts £20m on the table is getting a great deal, he's the most PL ready player we've had since Bowen.
Not really having that. Poor decision here and there granted but overall things tend to even themselves out over a season. Reason we ain’t further up the league pal is our home form. You don’t need A levels to work that one out.
There's been times he's looked so poor though so it's easier said than done. Best he's looked for us tonight and he's improved a lot since he first came in the door. He looked after the ball well tonight and his back-to-goal play, on the whole, was so much better. Not an ideal January signing when you need a striker to hit the ground running but potentially a very good one if we keep him long term.
Three quarters to one? I totally agree. Seeing highlights, their first was not a foul. Second was well out of play. I thought Delaps foul was outside the box initially, but definitely correct decision.
