Dabo Walker Rosé Godden Moore JWE are all players I’d trust to come on. Maybe Maguire if there’s something to him. Certainly better than Tavares Howley and Nee

You’ve made our Scottish central defender sound very elegant with the addition of the acute accent on the e.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Queues to get in, queues for the usually quiet toilets, and overall a good buzz around the ground.

Big game feel so far, let’s hope the performance matches.

Slightly disappointed Howley hasn't kicked on this season to be a bit more regular sub mind you. He's still young, so by no means suggests he won't make it (Eccles still isn't a regular after all!) but... I'd hoped he'd have come on a bit quicker myself as all the reports are that he's the real deal at youth level.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Um yes

Please tell me how Dabo (who has been terrible for two seasons), and Walker (who has barely been much better), are significant upgrades to Kane and Waghorn (who were also both shite). Unless you have another theory?

 

[fernandopartridge]

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?

Yes it is

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Yes it is

See my quote to Pete. How so? Please enlighten me.

Sky going on about Sunderland being 4 points above us and acting like they are the only play of contenders But forget to mention they have played a game more than us.

 

[PVA]

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.

Yeah you're right. The squad is shit, the recruitment is shit, just a coincidence we've improved year on year

 

[Calista]

Jamie Allen not much taller than his mascot LOL

 

[Brylowes]

Someone just said on Sky that 11 of Coventry’s 12 victories this season have been won whilst getting less than 50% possession is that right.

 

[jordan210]

Same foul and ref gives it tot hem not the one before

 

[jordan210]

1 to many touchers by palmer

 

[skybluejelly]

About time vik scored a hatrick …be a great game to get one today

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

That's a very childish post, and not even close to the point anyway.

I said the bench isn't strong enough, and some of the players people are getting excited about (like Dabo), need to get moved on in the summer as they aren't much better than what we had before, and aren't good enough for this league in general.

You're arguing for the sake of it as usual.

 

[jordan210]

Oh look no foul for vik

 

[Grendel]

Not a convincing save by Wilson

 

[mark82]

Oh look no foul for vik

We're getting nothing in this game.

 

[Grendel]

Lucky looked in

 

[ccfc922]

Norton-Cuffy knows he doesn't have to wait to be tackled before trying to clear the ball right?

 

[jordan210]

We are awful at defending set pieces

 

[pusbccfc]

Referee from Sunderland I see. Pathetic

 

[ccfc922]

Ref giving them everything.

 

[mark82]

Lucky looked in

Yep, marking not great.

 

[mark82]

Have we been given a foul yet?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Referee giving them everything

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Have we been given a foul yet?

Not yet. 2 or 3 to them, 0 to us.

 

[mark82]

Looked like that was going out for a goal kick before McNally touched it.

 

[ccfc922]

Our players getting shirts pulled off them both attacking and defending set pieces and nothing

 

[The Philosopher]

Throw ins Robins.

Coach throw ins. We are awful.

 

[Deity]

Norton Cuffey marking Danny Batth at corners is a crazy decision

 

[mark82]

Bit concerned about the way Hamer went down.

 

[robbiekeane]

I can’t seem to watch this on iFollow or on ESPN. Can someone please give me a link?
Ffs

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

We've probably been on top for about 2 minutes of the game so far. As much as I dislike Sunderland, they are playing well at the moment.
