Match Thread Coventry v Watford (3 Viewers)

[Londonccfcfan]

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

Agree I thought Shipley did ok. Substitutions didn't make sense at the time. But in the end didn't do no harm at all.

The extra height of Shipley and gyro cane good in end as they were lumping it long in end.

That still isn't a counter argument.

I didn’t disagree with your view on the substitutions l. I disagree with you calling the manager a retard. It’s an abhorrent word to use, that is why you’re a moron

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It was like for like.

It wasn’t

shipley for Ohare and gyokeres for hamer

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

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

You're missing the point.

 

[clint van damme]

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

it's not where you're from, it's where you're at!

 

[skyblues83]

Back 3 were solid. McFadzean will struggle to get back into the team

 

[Evo1883]

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.

A point against Watford is a good point at any time tbh..
You wouldn't have gone to arsenal in the prem, missed 3 good chances to win it then say... It's not a good point.

It's always a good point

Some of Our fans had us down for 0 points over the next few matches.

 

[Nick]

It wasn’t

shipley for Ohare and gyokeres for hamer

Yeah Gyo went where Ohare was
Shipley went where Hamer was

Like for Like.

 

[Frostie]

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.

Calling the manager a retard because you disagree with a substitution when we've just outplayed one of the best teams in the league is beyond the pale. You need help.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

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.

I thought Biamou and Allen were too.

I agree that Shipley was fine when he came on, but the changes were on the 86th minute. It is far too late anyway.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yeah Gyo went where Ohare was
Shipley went where Hamer was

Like for Like.

I see what you mean. Ok

Gyokeres looked shot shipley did well other than the one pass when he should have just run at the defence and had a crack

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Just seen score would have taken point before the game

 

[PVA]

The obsession with subs on this forum is fucking weird.

Usually from the same people who say our squad isn't good enough.

 

[Liquid Gold]

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.

Same as the idea that an away point is always a good point so we don’t bother trying to beat a terrible Blues team in free fall.

I don’t think we’re bad, we bossed the game today even with some very average players in the team. The frustration is that we shouldn’t be right in the middle of a relegation battle.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Typical SBT. Bickering over good point vs a team 4th in table.

Just need a few results to go our way and that point will look better. One of the tough games on paper out the paper.

Clean sheet.

And a weeks rest! Hopefully a player or two back next week.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Clean sheet too

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Calling the manager a retard because you disagree with a substitution when we've just outplayed one of the best teams in the league is beyond the pale. You need help.

That still is not a counter argument.

The subs were ridiculous in timing and personnel.

 

[bringbackrattles]

A point against a strong Watford side. And a clean sheet too. Only negative is not putting chances away.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Would've taken a point at kick off so shouldn't be disappointed but no doubt we miss Godden and Walker. With one or both of those two we''d probably have taken all 3 points. Poor miss by Biamou first half and a couple of Hyam headers straight at the keeper. Fairly solid at the back and good performances from OHare, James & Hamer.

 

[Evo1883]

Just seen score would have taken point before the game

We are already ahead of your zero mate... Must be pleasing

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

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

And went two up front. The man can’t win.

 

[shmmeee]

it's not where you're from, it's where you're at!

I think English people pronounce š as “sh” too

When lockdown is lifted I wouldn't bother going outside, a gust of wind might upset you.

 

[usskyblue]

Nail in the coffin

criminal

you guys need a lie down and a chill pill and a bit of realism

They aren’t happy unless they’ve got something to whiff about. When we win a fucking league the manager needs a taxi and the players get called ‘garbage’.

Considering the injuries and the cavernous budget deficit, that was a great performance. We played well and created chances. We’ve hit the target plenty of times but straight at the keeper. The frothers on here would’ve instantly combusted if it was Max and not McCallum, O’Hare, Hyam and Hamer.

 

[PVA]

Yeah Gyo went where Ohare was
Shipley went where Hamer was

Like for Like.

Gyo went up front.

If it was the other way round and O'Hare came on for Gyo you'd 100% be crying that he took off a striker for a midfielder, guaranteed.

 

[Otis]

Yeah Gyo went where Ohare was
Shipley went where Hamer was

Like for Like.

Doesn't mean they play the same role does it? They bring different things to the game than the two that went off.

 

[mark82]

That’s why you are deluded and I’m sensible

31 off 28 repeated we stay up easy

We played very well no reason to think we won’t repeat that time and time again

Hyam and Max should have scored

Max should've hit the target, although think keeper would've got there. Hyam should certainly have scored.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

The reason for the subs was to run the clock down not to go for a win. I’m glad robins knows more than us lot put together as to what the target needs to be for each game

 

[Londonccfcfan]

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.

Very proud of every player! 100% unbelievable performance.

 

[PVA]

When lockdown is lifted I wouldn't bother going outside, a gust of wind might upset you.

Fucking hell.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

it's not where you're from, it's where you're at!

Mark Morris it is then.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Max should've hit the target, although think keeper would've got there. Hyam should certainly have scored.

Yrah agree Hyam missed the 2 best chances.

Yep £30m on one player

 

[Otis]

There you go. O'Hare and Hamer, both knackered.

Subs made sense.

Come on, be honest with yourself, yes we play nice football and yes we can dominate matches for long periods... But we have several players out and our best strikers out... The issue has been scoring... It's not a surprise.. We are where we deserve to be at the moment
