Match Thread Coventry City at Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 25th Aug (13 Viewers)

[Nick]

Bayliss goes on a great run and gives it to Andreu who could have shot or passed to Bayliss but tried to play JCH in who was behind the ball.

Saved by the lino. How close was the decision?

 

[GaryJones]

Too much room given there!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Already sound umpteen times better going forward (regardless of anything going the other way !)

 

[ccfcway]

Who is it?

you sound like my nan

 

[Nick]

CWR calling Grimmer Thomas...

 

[ccfcway]

phew, gills goal disallowed

 

[Nick]

Lucky then, goal disallowed.

That came from Grimmer being out of position from going forward. The player shoots from outside the box, Burge parries it and they put it in but offside thankfully.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Good play from Thomas, runs and takes a player on and shoots but blocked. Bayliss shoots on the rebound but keeper saves.

Did we really just have a shot on target?

 

[Esoterica]

Round pegs, round holes today. Everyone looks like they understand their role and everyone looking better for it. Could do with getting the first goal here as Gillingham will concede more chasing the game.

 

[ccfcway]

now paul has passed away, perhaps Burge and O'Brien can audition as the new chuckle brothers

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

That doesn't really mean anything to be honest.

 

[GaryJones]

We have already had more chances going forward than the whole 90 mins at Blackpool - looking good!

 

[Nick]

Grimmer looks shattered.

Grimmer looks shattered.

Already?

Just hope it isn't one of those where we play really well but still lose.

This seems to suit the players much more.

 

[Paxman II]

are we 3 seconds behind Bayliss's thinking?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

More passes finding our own players today?

 

[Nick]

JCH is dropping deep to lay it off wide but its leaving nobody in the box if we get a cross in.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I think not having Biamou will be a blessing in disguise. I feel really sorry for the lad but I think as a team we will be forced to try better tactics without him.

 

[Nick]

Thomas gets wiped out.

 

[Nick]

Andreu and Thomas link up, Thomas shot gets blocked.

 

[Nick]

Andreu gets a shot off but blocked.

We seem to be hesitating for that split second rather than shooting quickly.

 

[ccfcway]

we are knocking on the door here

 

[Nick]

Andreu shoots miles over.

 

[Nick]

Andreu and Thomas again link up, Thomas takes a player on and brought down.

In Andreu range.

 

[Nick]

Awful free kick, no power or anything on it.

 

[Nick]

Shipley gets put through and flagged offside but he didnt look offside.

 

[ccfcway]

not a great free kick tried to be too clever and get it under the wall

 

[Nick]

Willis is going to injure himself, he's just randomly jumping and falling over trying to beat their 9 in the air.

 

[Gibbo]

Sounds like an interesting game, much much better than Blackpool

 

[Esoterica]

Just hope it isn't one of those where we play really well but still lose.

Don't really mind if we do lose when we play like this. It's looking like a reboot of the season, I'll take it as Robins wiping the slate clean. This is what should have happened vs Scunthorpe - the bulk of last season's team being given the chance to prove themselves in a higher division.

 

[Paxman II]

Gillingham look like the away team in tactics and we look like the home side pressing kinda sums it up so far

 

[ccfcway]

Sounds like an interesting game, much much better than Blackpool

its a lot more open.

 

[ccfcway]

andreu hits the bar
