Match Thread Coventry City vs. Accrington Stanley Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Nov (20 Viewers)

[Nick]

I haven't seen him score yet! He's worse than ours were in practice.

Ha I jinxed him. I'll try it in the game. He scored about 3 in a row at the start then gone awful

Surprising changes. Bayliss a big miss but would he have been as effective against this physical side?
Kelly I would have thought working alongside Doyle was the more obvious choice. Though Ogogo is that physical presence.
Is MR's giving too much credit to Accrington and putting in equal physicality so not to lose? Maybe he is being very clever?
We do still have all our pace in Thomas and Hiwula, so if we can contain them and stifle them in midfield then this could be a genius move.
As far as Grimmer or Thompson he must be said Thompson looks good and deserves to maybe have his chance and keep the Willis, Davies partnership intact too resisting Hyam.
We have more pace and danger with Jones on the bench and if Ogogo fails then Shipley will be chomping at the bit.
This will maybe be a grinding afternoon against a solid side where we will need to graft.

Not many milling around

Might be in the minority but I thought Thompson was really bad when he came on last time round.

Hopefully proves me wrong today.

You are

 

[Paxman II]

I imagine you don’t want to change two of your back four if you can get away with only changing one. Makes sense to me.

Not confident at all now. Happy with a draw.

Anyone know a VPN that works for iplayer? Fancy trying to watch it again.

Sorry to break it you all but im Not gonna post during today's game thread. Sorry!

Come on city!!!!!

 

[Johhny Blue]

I am pinning my hopes on him smashing somebody (if he can get near them now).

I reckon we might have a sending off today, wonder what those odds are?

Good Morning Nick

 

[Nick]

Their 9 is a unit

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Almost broke to Thomas lively start

 

[Grendel]

Hiwula should have looked up Thomas clean through

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Looking lovely up front again

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Hiwula should have looked up Thomas clean through

He played it to him

Looking lovely up front again

...said the bishop to the actress

 

[Johhny Blue]

Hiwula should have looked up Thomas clean through

JCH would have seen him

 

[Nick]

Chaplin off the pace so far

 

[Grendel]

He played it to him

Should have much earlier

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Settled now - they look comfortable in possession and we look ok too

 

[ccfcway]

co- commentator on CWR is commentating like I would be doing

"go on"
"that's a good ball"
"decent"

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Excellent form Willis and the ref there

I was stressing a bit TBH mate.

 

[Liquid Gold]

who is this co commentator, genuinely doesn't know the players and just occasionally says "good header" it's the radio you fucking melt.

 

[larry_david]

Co commentator is ridiculously annoying

 

[Grendel]

Great play for Thomas to get a corner

 

[Johhny Blue]

"go on"
"that's a good ball"

A couple of years ago it would have been
"What the hell was that"
"He doesn't have a clue"?
"Get him off"

Chris Cattlin. Would be much better to interview them at half time (rather than hearing how wasps are doing) where their previous experiences as CCFC players are relevant. Sitting there saying 'well played' 'good header' 'go on!' is meaningless.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Basically their a big physical team who love a long ball, don’t look too technical and don’t like pace against them.

Perfect situation for Thomas and Hiwula to cause them issues.

Ogogo has been anonymous thus far.

[Grendel]

Great kick Burge

They can play

 

[Nick]

Ogogo misses sitter

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Hiwula misses a sitter! Fabulous cross from Thomas

 

[Grendel]

Terrible miss

 

[larry_david]

Fooking hell I might actually turn this off. He's pissing me off

 

[Johhny Blue]

Is everyone missing sitters?
