Brilliant battling performance although let’s not forget that Watford missed several golden chances including an open goal from 5 yards

You tell your missus that is 5 yards, 1.5 at most!

From the Watford forum...

"Appalling team of thugs and cowards Coventry. Get lucky on the break. Smash and grab. Dreadful side."

Hardly lucky. We created actual chances, which we always do. Our players are cowards but a £100 million + Watford team with hearts the size of peas still had to foul our forward line to stop us...

Watford mate sent me this and said the Cov fans were great (but we should update the Sky Blue song!):

Agree with him actually. Should change based on the league we’re in.

 

[PVA]

Outstanding result.

Love this team and manager.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

proper team effort today, absolutely fantastic win. Wilson saving the day late, Walker putting sliding challenges in down the wing, Allen with an assist. Who can moan?

Plenty on here.

 

[Ash]

Fucking hell, genuinely did not expect that result at all. Would’ve snatched your hand off for a point, what the fuck do I know?!

 

[Johhny Blue]

Can we play all our fixtures away please!

Again

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

MR will be buzzing after that - and rightly so. SISU will also want another tenner for the club as we close in on the play offs. If Ashley watched that he'd buy us now, and Vik's value has just increased by £5m on that game alone.

Gotta say that's win of the season so far. It was a bombardment at the end but we won so many headers, flicks. Just brilliant so proud.

Well done to Jack Burroughs too,didn't look out of place at all tbh.

I'm gonna get a nice big drink

Love seeing dead hornets and wasps

Are we getting the ‘Robins Is Our King’ flag guy to design this then or

I was hoping for a hill special TBH. Maybe get that girl on Twitter who draws the players.

 

[Calista]

If Watford don’t score second half I’ll get Jamie Allen tattooed on my knob though (last one I promise).

On a chilly day it will just say “Jail”

 

[Johhny Blue]

Just watched a replay of the goal. Love the centre half completely missing Gyok’s run and then moaning at the wide defender

 

[junglej13]

@SBchimp be a proud man tonight. Fantastic debut from Burroughs.

Incredible perdormance and Robins has totally changed the teams mentality .. we looked really good today , so organised .


Jamie Allen is a proper coventry player isn't he , grafter .

Gyokeres was simply sensational for most of the match

 

[shmmeee]

Waaaahh, waaaaah, we’ve been in the premier league and they didn’t let us win!

Exactly. Arrogant pricks. Just cos you’ve got a couple of tricky forwards don’t make you a decent team.

 

[Sick Boy]

Fair play to Allen - he’s become an important player for us.

 

[Evo1883]

And to any Watford fans here , we could have scored 4 really

 

[Greggs]

FOR FUCK SAKE if someone invested a few million in this squad we'd be unstoppablel!

 

[Samo]

Agree with him actually. Should change based on the league we’re in.

Not worth updating now, we'll be prem again soon.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Been out all day so just seen the result, bloody hell, one of the best under Robins. With Eccles and Burroughs at wing back and no O’Hare starting too.

All early season worries are gone now, this team is going places.

 

[robbiethemole]

Getting ready to respond to anyone who dares to give Eccles higher than a 1 in the player ratings thread

Twat, why not fuck off and support someone else

 

[duffer]

I didn't see that one coming in truth.

Individually, we might not have the best team in the division, but we've definitely got a side that is better than the sum of its parts. That's down to the manager, imho, and I wouldn't swap Robins for anyone. Great result, chuffed to bits.

 

[wingy]

Despite my concerns have to say that ref was decent.

 

[chiefdave]

what a difference a few weeks makes. wasn't long back people were saying we were relegation certainties looking at zero points from a tricky run of games.

just waiting for the suckerpunch now. need to get the ground situation sorted and then hope for an ownership change.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

What a first away day of the season, a bit more investment and we'd be top 6

 

[shmmeee]

Top half by the WC break would be lovely.

Then back in December with new owners please.

 

[Jamesimus]

Waaaahh, waaaaah, we’ve been in the premier league and they didn’t let us win!

Amazing what 5 minutes in the Premier League can do to a fan base.

Boosh, don't lose this account too mate

 

[Cov kid 55]

to be fair, there are a lot of positive comments about City on the Watford forum. They think they should have won, but the consensus is that we’re a decent unit.

 

[jordan210]

As a cov fan you have this odd feeling when playing top teams that we will win.

Wigan on Tuesday on the other hand

 

[SkyblueDad]

This was an immense result remember we had two rookie fullbacks against premier experienced wingers, Panzo immaculate there really wasn’t a weak link and Robins got his substitutions bang on, onwards and upwards hopefully.

 

[robbiekeane]

Some form turnaround that is last 10. 3rd in the form table and arguably played harder teams than Blackburn above us

 

[Evo1883]

This team btw , are more than capable of finishing top half without fire sales in January
