Did I hear a :blue: chant just after that second goal?

[AFCCOVENTRY]

McSheffrey is right...

we need 8 new players

2 of them a 20+ a season goal scorer

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

Possesion stats dont get points, nor do corners! We could have 99% possesion and lose 1-0 and it isnt good enough!

Thorn said we would go down fighting, instead it is a shambles!

But we are fighting. We are having a go. The BBC commentators have just said the same. I'll take their view of yours thanks.

There's a difference between not having fight, and not having quality. Learn it

 

[TheBoss]

we're in desperate need of quality, the fight is there today.

 

[joemercersaces]

How many goals have we conceded from corners this year?

How many have we scored from corners this year?

 

[Nick]

Not having fight is surely letting their centre half run through about 4 players without a tackle?

I understand we dont have quality, which i would accept if we had fight!

 

[singers_pore]

Any live streams?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Oh Bigi.... he ain't strong enough. He gets brushed off the ball so easily

What the hell do you mean by fight? Okay - one unchecked run. But what about the balance of the play? We are competing. You just take one exception and try and prove a rule

 

[torchomatic]

TBH, I think we are putting up a fight.

 

[kingharvest]

Am I missing something? This is the best we've played for weeks!

 

[Johnnythespider]

FFS we have a 17 year old at centre half, when are some of you gonna get it ?

Thorn said we would go down fighting, instead it is a shambles! He showed his intention by naming mcsheffrey captain!

You are utterly pathetic.

Nothing to do with the fact we have are playing with 6 players under the age of 23 and have a 17 year old making his full debut in defence.

We have at least matched Southampton so far and probably edging it on shots and chances so far, only difference between the two sides so far is Southampton are far more clinical than us.

 

[WeWillBeBack]

Thomas
Norwood Bigi

Never going to win anything with a central midfield like that, need a few experienced heads for sure

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

McSheffrey injured

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

McSheffrey injured

Great. We have a choice of Rivaldo, Messi or Kaka to come off the bench. Or will it be the tea lady?

Still, Thorn. Knows nothing, eh?

 

[Sky Blues]

Our subs are: Dunn, Henderson, Roberts, Platt, Jeffers

 

[sylus]

fuk in hell...:facepalm:

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Will Roberts on for shef

 

[Sky Blues]

Roberts - academy player replaces experienced McSheff. As the Beeb says, sums up our season.

I blame Thorn for selecting that midfield, the guy is clueless.



MAKE A CHANGE THORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


---------------------------------------------------------------
On a serious note Will Roberts who just came looks like a rabbit in a headlights stepping onto the pitch then.

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

Will Roberts on for shef

Only got a squad number last week!!!

 

[sylus]

Great. We have a choice of Rivaldo, Messi or Kaka to come off the bench. Or will it be the tea lady?

your right thorn knows nothing...

 

[ccfcrob]

Mcsheffrey bottles itvonce again

 

[kingharvest]

Sums up our plight!

 

[Skyblueloyal]

McSheffrey is right...

we need 8 new players

2 of them a 20+ a season goal scorer

When was the last time we had one player who scored 20 goals a season ? Plus we would sell him at the first chance we'd get

 

[Sky Blues]

Great. We have a choice of Rivaldo, Messi or Kaka to come off the bench. Or will it be the tea lady?

Still, Thorn. Knows nothing, eh?

Thorn said he was putting the chef on the bench today. The tea lady was probably sold.

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

The average age of our midfield is 19.....

That's SISU for you. We develop her skills so she can make a decent cuppa and she's sold.....

 

[Sick Boy]

It is a shame that some our previous managers didn't receive the same backing as Thorn.

 

[Sky Blues]

Saints make a change and bring on a former England school boy who has played in every match this season. Some things make you think it's amazing we're competing at all.

 

[SydneySkyBlue]

It's ok it's all irrelevant. Stats are the only thing that matter. Paul on CWR says so.

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

your right thorn knows nothing...

Of you're going to try and be clever, as least get your grammar in order....

 

[Skyblueloyal]

The average age of our midfield is 19.....

Think we'd better get used to it as that's all we will have next season

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

It is a shame that some our previous managers didn't receive the same backing as Thorn.

It is also a shame Thorn hasn't received the same amount of financial backing as our previous managers.
