Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Monday 30th Oct (15 Viewers)

Agreed, comes across very cliquey if what is being said is all correct - they’re not obligated to spend every minute of every day together

It’s also a lot easier to believe if the senior players in question were all performing to high standards themselves, but they’re not.

From comments made from here before, it does sound like those that were here in League 1 have a very high opinion of themselves.

Don’t be silly.

he wouldn’t make eye contact.

I just remembered that poster on here that said Wright looked like a child at the Sky Blue Tavern, because he wouldn't make eye contact.

Someone is clearly very keen to get this narrative out there - luckily for them they have people on here who are more than willing to parrot these stories uncritically on demand

Were better than we were first season up and we didn’t come close to relegation there

League was much better then in my opinion as well

Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds the only teams in this division I’m truly fearful of playing

On that subject - If we’re still playing like this in January I’m giving that game against Leicester a massive wide berth, I don’t think I can stomach sitting through them cut us to ribbons, score 4/5 and take the piss in our own ground

Judging by the fact corporate is nearly sold out already for that game as well my hunch is a load of Leicester fans have been buying in there

...and Preston who gives an annual doing

Agree with this.... If it's true it sounds like they're looking for a scapegoat now they can't cling on to Vik's and Gus's coat tails

 

[Boicey]

Let’s not forget that the starting attacking lineup last night was basically Wright, Sakamoto and Allen.
It’s not gonna scare anyone to death is it?

We’ve made a rod for our own backs with the “Callum Doyle, it could’ve been you” on the opening day, that will get a few airings to a sparse home end as they put in their fourth

Doubt he’ll be fit if his injury was as bad as I read it was?

I believe a Hamer understudy should have been brought in twelve months ago with an eye to the future. Not providing cover for one of the most influential and integral members of a team is very short sighted.

I mean I can accept there was no money then. It should have definitely been on the list for this summer.

To those that think we are in danger of relegation, we are 20/1 on Sky Bet (and they have 11 teams more likely to be relegated than us) - that must be the bet of the century surely if we're that bad?

Going to be some very rich men if you listen to people on this forum...

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Looking at the bottom three no chance we’re going to be worse than Wednesday or Rotherham (yes, I know we lost to them) over a season.

QPR are the ones I admit could improve now they’ve changed manager

 

[Rugby Sky Blue]

What can be said that hasn't already been said? As soon as West Brom scored I said to my dad sitting next to me we won't break these down. Plenty of posession and no creativity. We just looked so static and when they brought Asante on in the second half I thought I should put a tenner on him scoring as the defence won't be able to cope with his directness and running and lo and behold he goes and scores. Luckily for us the 3 teams at the bottom look terrible, although having said that one of them did a job on us recently.

I think teams are happy to concede possession of the ball and sit in their shape as we often struggle to break teams down as we simply aren't good enough and lack the quality. We look a far better team when we counter attack and I think other teams have figured us out now. The 3 games we have won this season we have had less possession than our opposition and as low as 34% against Blackburn at home.

I dunno, it's giving me nightmares...

 

[Nuskyblue]

The scary thing is, this isn’t a good WBA side and they haven’t played particularly well or done anything exceptional, just disciplined and took chances.

This is what we did tail end of last season tbf

 

[alexccfc99]

Charity bet accepted and bookmarked.

Happy to call it a tenner if you want to pay now @Brighton Sky Blue

 

[SkyblueDad]

Hard to judge the WBA game we might have a number of new additions in the team so no idea the team, Albion always tough and dangerous opposition.

I guess Dry January isn’t your thing either

What you on about now, idiot ?

I’m not being funny but we’re not playing WBA again until March so why would be discussing the match?

Fair, I deserve that and am happy to pay up.
