DaCosta just defended well and took someone on.

Everyone ok?

We’ll ignore the stinker Dabo is having.

Great to have godden back gives us something a little different in and around the box

His finishing is so good, the best we have out of our strikers. That was a really well taken goal.

 

[djr8369]

And O'Hare! Both on 3 now! Feel bad for O'Hare he gets kicked to shit constantly he gives it back and is immediately booked!

It’s a joke isn’t it. Dragged down constantly and his first bite back is a card.

 

[Otis]

Those commentators are sh*t City fans aren't they. Why so dour and down with the late win?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

not sure what it is but we look 1/2 pieces of the jigsaw away from being top players in this league,

maybe the wingbacks? But we look a seriously good side

I can't believe we had 5 players booked to their 3?

Sat in a Devon holiday camp with my City shirt grinning like a c**t.

Wow. I can't get my City shirt to do anything at all.

Was yours a special purchase or something?

You need a certain shaped gut to get the creases right

Great movement from Da Costa

Yeah but Dacosta is playing out of career.

 

[Kieranp96]

beautiful weather here today isn't it !!

Has been for the past 3 weeks since I got here haha, where abouts are you?

 

[jordan210]

Have to say Maatsen is a great player. He can hit a cross and doesn't stop running.

Can look a little bit shaky in defence now and again but is growing massively each game.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Was there a man of the match announced?

Sheaf was announced as the Sponsor’s MOTM.

 

[Marty]

People talk about the defence being a problem

I disagree- we’ve got who we’ve got and they’re doing as well as can be expected.

it’s the attack- we should be scoring way more than we are. We should have been out of sight at Blackpool and today. The strikers had the investment, need to see more.

Need to play Gyokeres with Walker or Godden when they're fit. Waghorn has been a disappoint for me so far, expected more from him.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Whoa
We got Gussy Hamer
Whoa
And Sheafy in the middle
And they never give the ball away

His defending has come on so much in just the first four games. Like so many under Robins and Viveash I think he’ll go from strength to strength.

We played well but need to be more clinical in front of goal. The defence still has dodgy moments often self inflicted. Thoroughly deserved the win any other result would have been a travesty.

Reading disappointing and generally poor.

Referee was inconsistent and frankly missed a lot. The blatant time wasting should have been punished by more than the odd point at his watch.No problem with the length of added on titime which I guess covers that. Reading brought it on themselves with their "professionalism'

MOM Ben Sheaf

Onwards and upwards

 

[shmmeee]

First big test next week. QPR unbeaten. Then we’ll really see how much we’ve progressed. Get through that and I’d expect us to have a few injured players back after the break as well. Just hope we smash Middlesbrough, invited my Boro supporting mate along and he’s already giving it the biggun.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Was there a man of the match announced?

Sheaf I think

 

[Ccfcisparks]

5 points from the next 4 and I’ll be well happy

Not picking on you in particular, as a few have said this (albeit you aren’t in great company).

My counter; Ben Sheaf was equally playing out of position for the majority of the second half and had anything but a stinker.

Even accepting he was out of position, he was poor.

As you’d expect he was back to his impactful self once switched to RWB.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

We’ve got off to a really good start! Controlled every game and frankly, we should be beating teams more convincingly.

Felt this way all through the L1 winning season though. Robins loves the drama.

there is something in this. Even in L1 I can’t remember a single game that wasn’t tense. Portsmouth & Sunderland at home were unbearable. Don’t know what it is but Robins puts everyone through the grinder before pulling out the results

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Great little lay off from Yok with the chest for Allen's goal

It was clear against Forest that Dabo can’t play centre half so surprised he was played there again but not surprised he struggled and he had to have 1 eye on covering for DaCosta as well

I think this puts to bed the myth that pre season results mean absolutely anything and are nothing more than a fitness exercise

 

[Evo1883]

Great movement from Da Costa

Apparently robins says ..." he's scored"

 

[Sbarcher]

We fight til the end
We fight til the end
We're Coventry City
We fight til the end

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Away this weekend so couldn’t attend, watch or listen. Just seen the highlights and fucking buzzing. By the sounds of it and the stats we battered them. That’s all four games we’ve played well. I was at Barnsleh and we could easily have won that let alone took a point. Really positive signs. Can’t wait to see us against QPR which will be a proper test and give us an idea of what the season could hold. Sterling job from the management and squad so far. PUSB.

 

[procdoc]

On a side note, how good has Simon Moore looked? I know it’s still early days but he gives me confidence

 

[Mcbean]

Ha ha effing ha love it what a great result - just goes to show that negative play is bad for your health - they were rubbish

No it bloody doesn’t we were shite

Yep I agree he shouldn’t have played there - hopefully he never will again. And sounds like you agree he was poor.
