Oh, they're shite. But at least Dhillons opened at 9am. Couple of beers in and my outlook is improving.

Alcohol problems

Comfortable win today.

Alcohol problems

Only on matchdays

 

[You'll Never Beat McPake]

Really up for this one, keep the winning momentum going. Gyok hattrick in 3-1 win

 

[procdoc]

Got a bad feeling about this one today, no idea why

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

12.30 kick offs are fucking rubbish

Unless we win

 

[Evo1883]

20 sunderland fans walking down the side of the stadium singing Jimmy in a box an hour and a half before kick off ..

Very brave

No coventry fans in sight , should pop to the cherry tree

• Viktor Gyökeres has been directly involved in 18 league goals this season (14 goals, 4 assists), twice as many as any other Coventry player. Gyökeres has had a hand in five goals in his last six appearances (2 goals, 3 assists).
• 
  No wonder he is a god. Without him we are close to or in the bottom 3. No doubts about that

Most teams would be without their best player and talisman and don’t forget we are without one of ours

They wouldn’t be near the bottom three to be fair even robins admits he’s carried the team

I haven’t even had breakfast yet and it’s almost time to go

 

[EalingSB]

Unless we win

Early games make for a great afternoon at the Tavern if we win - been a great atmosphere the couple of times I’ve been after an early three points.

[PVA]

Unchanged as expected. Strong looking bench too.

 

[fatso]

Some great options on the bench!

 

[lordy_87]

Not a midfielder on the bench, where's Kelly ?

Still intrigued to see more of wilson-esbraind. Maybe if we 3 up he can have. Pressure free cameo lol

 

[jordan210]

Boo cant make it today as have to take partner to the station. at 1:45 ffs.


Seen a few people saying turn styles are not open yet due to agency staff not arrived yet as down for a 3 kick off...

 

[Happy_Martian]

Didn't we get Maguire to act as an O'Hare alternative rather than another out-and-out striker ?

 

[andrew.roberts]

I think Maguire can play an attacking midfield role that's if Mr Robins trusts him to do so

Love to see it

You can usually get on the bike 4-6 weeks after ACL reconstruction tbf so doesnt mean he's ahead of schedule or anything...

But good to see the op went well and looks like swelling is alright!

I'm not sure the definition some of you have for ´strong looking bench' is the same as mine.

Ok, we have Godden (who could be argued for a starting place), but other than that we have Dabo, Walker, and Maguire. Hardly an improvement on Kane, Waghorn, and Tavares is it?

Haven't seen much of Maguire and so far not too impressed, but Dabo and Walker are a massive improvement on Kane and Waghorn.

 

[PVA]

As far as our squad goes it's obviously a strong bench.

 

[oldskyblue58]

Settled team that has been playing well, and a reasonable bench

No reason we cant win this and nothing to fear from Sunderland

But I don't really see an impact player on the bench that would make the difference.

Going for a 1 nil ccfc win

Dabo and Walker are not a massive improvement on Kane and Waghorn whatsoever.

That bench is weak and shows how desperate we are with a couple of injuries

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Irrelevant.

Most on that bench need to be shipped out in the summer.

 

[EalingSB]

Just got to the pub in Geneva - only one choice today …

 

[PVA]

Irrelevant.

Of course it's relevant

Given at times this season we've had two keepers on the bench, and the likes of Howley and Nee (no disrespect to them) it's a strong bench.

At times this season we've not had anyone the bench to bring on and make a difference. Now we do.

Then there should be very little complaint when Robins doesn’t make changes during the game

It doesn't matter how poor our bench has been at times, the point is that even now, it isn't really strong enough. You can go ahead and compare it to previous times in the season if you want to run around in circles and have arguments for the sake of it, but it just looks silly.

Um yes
