Not excusing the poor defending for their goal or the bad goalkeeping, but when are all these foul throws going to be stopped?

In answer to those who wanted to know what was wrong with this throw. IMO he is essentially chucking it off one leg (which gives you massively more leverage) and then bringing the back foot down after the ball has gone. The West Brom guy does the same.

Rule 15:

• stand facing the field of play
• have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline
• throw the ball with both hands from behind and over the head from the point where it left the field of play

They will batter us if we play like we did today

You know that ? Got the lottery numbers as well?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

No one has ever has claimed he is champions league standard, just that he is our best central midfielder and one or the best in the league.

You seem to be the only Cov fan who thinks he's rubbish.

Trust you to get upset about this and start forgetting things/making stuff up.

Just enjoy the bloody win!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Only really been able to follow the game from afar today, but sounds like we've won without playing particularly well. At the end of the day, the three points is all that matters, not how we got them.

 

[wingy]

I was there when we got battered 4-0 by Walsall at the Bescot

Me too but we'd been dicking them previous to that!

He'll be gone in the summer anyway I reckon,fund another rebuild?

 

[HadjiChippo]

Haji now joint 6th top scorer in the league (with Vardy on 13)

Not bad for a first season in English football.

 

[David O'Day]

Did we play well? We should have been 3/4 down at half tike

Still won and we'll play better in other games to come.

 

[Macca]

Current points per game is 1.54. Maintaining that gets 70 points

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Would surely have had a hat-trick had he not had an unlucky touch from Simms' cross at 2-1.

Especially the home ones?

Long throws are a good way to create havoc, we looked taken by surprise by it, but we have 2 players who can do it so why don't we use it??

 

[covcity4life]

I think people need to take a step back and realise we are now regularly a team that wins more than they lose

Enjoy it. It hasn't happened alot in my lifetime

 

[Warwickhunt]

Milan Vanearwig substitution stopped em dead in their tracks he closed off their left hand side and with it any chance they had of getting something out of the game

 

[Flying Fokker]

Can I appreciate 3 points without pointing out the bad performance? We have Leeds and Southampton coming up…

Ooh, Cardiff and Ipswich?

 

[HadjiChippo]

We’ve also got two 6ft3 strikers to battle for it aswell

That's my thought exactly! Just once in game to catch them offguard

 

[Flying Fokker]

Stressful 3 .. going to up my BP Medication to see the season out

Take them all now…?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I mean you say that but he had an embarrassing amount of space, nothing to do with it being a long throw per se

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Could we shithouse our way to the play offs

 

[bigfatronssba]

This time last season we had just drew 1-1 away at Wigan. A poor performance if my memory serves me right

 

[Evo1883]

I get you might not want me to post anymore but

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Th

What is tough about them? They had won 2 in 11

They're the type of side we normally struggle against, like West Brom and Preston, big, strong and physical

 

[napolimp]

Current points per game is 1.54. Maintaining that gets 70 points

And 1.95 since Millwall when we changed formation and sorted our form out. Takes us to 74/75.

With a squad of players we actually own too. This is heaven compared to most of our other championship seasons.

 

[Ian1779]

5 more wins and I think we’re there.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Hideous performance, great 3 points. A point off 6th after a dodgy few weeks isn't to be sniffed at.

As an aside, I think the performances started going downhill after the Sheffield Wednesday issue. Obviously a very serious incident, and it rightly got press attention, but from a footballing perspective I think it was a distraction from the task at hand.

Lot of our players thinking of the Wolves Game which will effect their game intesity

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

6 days without football now. What’s that about?

...and breath

 

[JohnWH]

Watford 0 - 1 Coventry (Wright)

Guess I was only half (W)right

 

[napolimp]

5 more wins and I think we’re there.

Concentrate on winning the home games, and don't lose away.

 

[jackdg]

5 more wins and I think we’re there.

Not sure that’ll be enough, would need 2 of WBA, Hull and Norwich to only win 4 of the last 9/10 matches… think we’ll need a very good run in

 

[Ccfcisparks]

In other news the strike force from hell have got 26 goals between them…

 

[Flying Fokker]

2 or more goals for a player-14 or 15 times this season. anyone know of a site that has an easy read summary of games and scorers on one page?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It remains as it always has been. If we're good enough we'll do it and if we aren't we won't. Got to play much better than this against Southampton/Leeds/Ipswich/Hull/Cardiff

 

[Macca]

Still take a point?

Would have when I posted, would have before the game. Delighted with more

 

[SBT]

Lots of criticism of the 352 system today, and we’ve never looked that comfortable with it. But if we can engineer a strike partnership between Wright and Simms that hits its stride before the end of the season then I have to think that gives us the most attacking threat, as opposed to the 433 with a makeshift RW and a lone striker who’s mostly an afterthought.
