Such a tense game. Delighted to get the win after some dodgy moments. Cool finish by Wright, considering the scrutiny he is under. Wilson kept us in it. Performance of the season from him. Some super workrate from Allen and Godden in particular. Godden is far more than a goal poacher. The defending he does from the front is exceptional.

I was pretty baffled that the referee saw no issue with it, looked clear that it shouldn’t have stood.
Got away with one there, lets not pretend we werent fucking dire.
But, 7 from 3 is a good return, shame even more now we didnt hang on v Huddersfield!

Maybe we should stop going on and on about whether to drop Godden. It doesn't matter. The 3 strikers are scoring goals betwen them and that is fine. Let Robins decide
Looked like he kicked it out of Wilson's hands to me. Was amazed the ref didn't blow straight away. Haven't seen it back yet though.
Ref was very kind to them all night imo
nope, way too sensible a comment. it'll never catch on!
Ayari doesn't offer much, the game seems to just pass him by, great shot for the goal though
They realised early on there had to be minimal contact to get a foul . There was one tackle by Eccles in the second half in the centre circle the ref gave a foul for and he was less than 3 feet away from the incident
Massive three points again. Not pretty and rode our luck at times but just got to hang in there at the moment. Horrific luck with injuries so far but still mid table and could easily be higher even though we haven’t really hit form yet
Coventry 1-0 Blackburn Rovers: Haji Wright's late goal wins it for Mark Robins' Sky Blues
Haji Wright headed a late winner as Coventry made it consecutive wins with a 1-0 victory over Blackburn.
They don’t. Lati needs to slide into the DMs as young Ayari will be horribly exposed otherwise. As an aside, we have now accumulated 4 serious muscle injuries. What are the medical staff doing?
I'm assuming Allen and Eccles will start in the middle with Saka or Ayari at 10, for better or worse!
Good 3 points from a game we probably didn't deserve to win, Wright took his chance well when it came, with plenty still to do, on to Saturday when we will need to be better to beat Norwich. Not sure what I'd do with the midfield, it's a quandary.
If Kelly is out I see that as the only option imo an Eccles, Allen & Soto or Ayari would be overrun.
Eccles didn’t have the best of games tonight but he ran his balls off.
It’s also the reason godden needs to not play 90 mins a week
Kelly and him can’t play 8-9 games on the trot without picking up an injury

He didn't have his best game but I noticed he was looking forward more with his passing , especially down the channels for the forwards to chase down
What a finish from Wright…. Not easy at all !!!
That performance was exactly the same as what we were doing this time last year. An ugly win.
Gets the confidence up and then we can hopefully push on

Yeah, second half Eccles had much more positive intent, one great move and cross which someone should’ve been on the end of really. Energy of the team as a whole was a lot better second half. When we shift the ball quickly we look a far better team
Yep he’ll pick up an injury shortly if we keep playing him without a rest
I had a great view, clear foul
From what I heard/can remember
Thought we deserved to win. Blackburn best team in possession that we’ve played so far. Good saves by Wilson. Definitely foul for disallowed goal but Ben should’ve taken a hit rather than risking losing ball. Need crowd but knows team need to give us more to feed on which happened second half. Good goal and good effort by Ayari. Some decent last ditch defending, mentioned couple of headers from Thomas near end and fadz being fadz
