Match Thread Coventry v Watford (20 Viewers)

[nmp2327]

Good point, would have taken that at the start. Biamou looked leggy and off the pace. Subs were an odd decision but at least it is one more point than I expected from this run of games.

Pre match : would love a point

Post match: points not enough


Very strange mentality.

Yeah did you watch the game?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hardly, our striker is not effective at this level and we missed a couple of excellent headed chances.
HOpe the players can stay confident and take the positives out of that even if some of our fan base think we are now nailed on for relegation

The chances missed defy belief some of them

 

[Evo1883]

Because there was a game we watched in the middle of that.

Yea but a point can't be enough pre match and not enough post match... That's mental thinking

 

[no_loyalty]

Daylight robbery Watford getting a point they didn’t turn up, let them off the hook big time.

 

[Evo1883]

Yeah did you watch the game?

I did... We should have won, but it's a good point, not many thought we'd get anything

 

[Londonccfcfan]

100%. Our fanbase is appalling sometimes.

We've just bossed one of the best teams in the division, it was basically a Premier League side vs a League One side & but for missing some very decent chances we'd have won the game.

T

Ohare man of the match
Another point towards safety we a a decent striker short of being a very good team

Gonna add Ostigard. To big 3.
The big 4! Hamer, James, Ohare. Osti.

Ohare motm. Followed by James.

You won't watch too many better 0-0s.

Held on well at the end. Marosi a big save. And thank the woodwork, about time someone else hit it!

 

[the rumpo kid]

Should have won, better than Watford but the sky commentators just go on about how poor Watford are instead of how well we managed the game , more luck required .

And who is this maroshi guy ?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If you can't see that the players put in a shift, tried to win against a good team, and that it's a decent point, you need to have a word with yourself, or a reality check. I was proud of that performance. James' positional play is excellent and Da Costa looks to be a big plus.

 

[Otis]

Solid performance from the team, Robins despite this forum having a semi meltdown didn't get it wrong at all today... We once again missed the chances to win the game... But we played well

Nope, agree. Only other option was Gyokeres for Biamou, but Hamer did look shot and O'Hare had ran himself into the ground.

 

[Evo1883]

If you would have been disappointed with a point then just go all out pre match and say anything but a win is shit lol..

Views can change during a game with things that happen......

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Bringing on an extra forward to try & win the game?

On the 85th minute?

He took off O'hare and Hamer who were our two best players.

You make yourself look silly every week when you try and defend his baffling changes.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Really max one it was behind him still should have scored

hyam ducked rather than volley it in and then didn’t direct it

Hardly defy belief

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

We have just outplayed the team in fourth. Our best two chances unfortunately fell to Hyam, and he failed to take them.
What the heck do you want ?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Great point from the lads, big game against Cardiff now

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If you would have been disappointed with a point then just go all out pre match and say anything but a win is shit lol..

I absolutely would have taken a point before kick off but watching the game there's only one team who should be content with it.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

You’re a moron.

So you think the substitutions and timing of them was good do you?

You can throw around insults but I still haven't heard any good counter arguments.

 

[Jamesimus]

Nope, agree. Only other option was Gyokeres for Biamou, but Hamer did look shot and O'Hare had ran himself into the ground.

Hamer was fantastic for 70 mins then just went to shit and could barely run, didn't look injured, just knackered.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

No they missed their chances their chances defy belief

 

[Liquid Gold]

Bringing on an extra forward to try & win the game?

He took off our creativity and left on a forward who was playing poorly and absolutely knackered.

 

[covcity4life]

I didn't like subs when happened but dont thibk they worked out wrong in anyway?

Shipley made some good blocks and we had a few counters with him and gyo

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He took off our creativity and left on a forward who was playing poorly and absolutely knackered.

His finishing was poor his overall play was not poor. Maybe not up to their premiership strikers but hey

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Yea but a point can't be enough pre match and not enough post match... That's mental thinking

It isn't, this is part of the problem.

What is on paper and what happens on the pitch are two entirely different things.

Games are dynamic and this mentality that we should be start stuck to be where we are is a bit silly.

 

[procdoc]

My issue is you referring to a manager that has got us promoted twice as a retard. Get in the fucking bin

 

[Nick]

It was like for like.

 

[shmmeee]

And who is this maroshi guy ?

That’s how you pronounce his name. He’s Slovakian.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

That still isn't a counter argument.

 

[Frostie]

You make yourself look silly every week when you try and defend his baffling changes.

If you genuinely think that they were our best players then that's your opinion, albeit a baffling one. For me Østigård & James were miles better.

Hamer had one of his poorer games & looked absolutely shattered, wasn't surprised he went off. I'd have probably hooked Allen or Biamou rather than O'Hare but hey ho.

 

[shmmeee]

It was like for like.

He brought on an AM and a ST for a DM and an AM. That’s not like for like.

Don't know why he took O'Hare off but Hamer was fucked.
To be fair to Shipley he didn't put a foot wrong in our half though equally he didn't put a foot right in their half.

 

[mark82]

Talking about the Penalty chance now. It maybe could've been but think they rarely give those.

 

[covcity4life]

It isn't, this is part of the problem.

What is on paper and what happens on the pitch are two entirely different things.

Games are dynamic and this mentality that we should be start stuck to be where we are is a bit silly.

In that case stop worrying about opposition teams. More often than not they turn out to be not very good!

If you would have made different changes than the manager, then why do you get so upset when other people also state that? Especially when most people are in a consensus that his changes come too late and are often strange.

Your approach is baffling.

Sky scared to say we should have had a pen.
