We remain a bit of an oddball team. With a chaotic midfield and 2 very raw strikers who we basically don’t really understand.
We seem to be saved by a bit of flare from attacking midfield and by an increasingly solid formation. Nice to see Robins improved use of subs.
We need to sign up COH and Bidwell, another central midfielder in January and hope something clicks with Wright, Simms.

Wright is playing well to be fair , I know he’s still clumsy and awkward but he was involved in the goals today

At 3-0 all I could think about is how close the game was and that we were lucky to get the 3 points.

In the end, we won the game comfortably and we’re the better team who created the better chances.

It was by no means the perfect performance but Sunderland didn’t offer much despite a couple of chances after the HT break.

Thank you for the Xmas 3 points City and what a game to be at!

I'll thank them for their gift which was their abysmal finishing.

There was parallels to the Boro game at home, this was less even. We were very poor for spells but that O'Hare majick about the box saved us. Sign that boy up ASAP. He has literally been the difference I swear.

Merry Christmas Sky Blues.

Commiserations to the lurking mackems. Enjoy your blue drink and dippers this Christmas, ta for the 4 points.

Winning ugly is quite satisfying.

5 points from Soton, Leeds and Sunderland is a good return!

We didn't need to play well to beat Sunderland, they looked very poor.

For all their possession they looked weak upfront, and crumbled at the back when under pressure.

We were no where near our best today, we gave the ball away far too easily and too often, but still banged in 3 goals.
If only we could play them every week.

Looking forward to Boxing day, but I think Sheffield Wednesday could be a tougher nut to crack than Sunderland.

Fuckin’ useless ref

If we get O'Hare and Bidwell signed up and bring in a quality midfielder in January, I would be happy.

 

[ccfc1234]

Beat Sheff Weds and we're at an identical points tally to last season at the same stage.

Intresting stat!

 

[itsabuzzard]

What a difference O'Hare has been. An outstanding footballer.

Indeed. Every effort should be made to persuade him to put pen to paper, even though it'll be expensive. Finding a replacement would likely be more so. Adding goals to his general play will make him much sought after.

Seen Jimmy in a box stuff online already. God I hate those cunts, and fuck me how I love they never beat us. Bunch of pug ugly brain dead fucks.

Don’t take the bait. It’s online nonsense.

I made a post on their forum. Sad but had to be done

2-2?

Bidwell already has another year left

Was it a nice one?

We looked so more solid when Eccles came on. Just not sold om Allen at CM especially away from home.
Front 3 ware superb, and O’Hare although not at full form was a menace. Palmer brilliant when he came on

I like Allen but don’t feel he’s best utilised playing deeper . Eccles played well when he came on and Lati again showed his versatility

I think we'll see quite a turnover of players up there.

I took the bait ages ago tbf. They wanted a rivalry and they've got it... not working out very well for them though.

Been out for most of the day so only managed to listen to bits and pieces of the game on the radio but wow, what a result. Best win of the season by some distance. Seems that we’re really starting to kick on now. Last two play-off places seem like they’re a massive free for all again this season, definitely there for the taking.

Disappointed to see some reports of Bradley Lowery chants from our fans, would like to hope that we didn’t sink that low and it’s just Sunderland fans being Sunderland fans.

A solid enough performance away from home. 3-0 probably flattered us slightly but nice to see us be clinical.

Ellis Simms was truly truly woeful.

Yeah that would not be good.

Yeah, but turn your phone off and then how does that rivalry feel.

I truly hope that isn’t true

Can’t wait to see that silly old scumderland twat moaning on YouTube

put that in your pipe and hoy it

As a semi regular poster on this forum I think its fair of you to assume I don't turn my phone off much.
In seriousness I'm not proud that they've got me, but I do hate them and I don't see that changing soon.

 

[pusbccfc]

It's absolutely not. We were piss taking all afternoon but nothing below the belt. No trouble.

Sunderland fan throwing a bottle at the Coventry players at the end and the police officer just stood still.

To be fair I’m fully onboard with what you are saying but trying a new perspective hence posting less on here.

A great three points after not playing at our best, need to follow this up with a win against Sheff Wednesday on Boxing Day. Hope the lad who injured his knee is ok, although looking like an ACL.

Should have been sent off after taking sheaf out
