Match Thread Coventry City - Tottenham Hotspur [LC] Match Thread - Wednesday 18th Sep (45 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If that's based on our early season form you can hardly blame them for coming up with that conclusion.

We've lost to a very poor Stoke side, and needed a 95th minute defensive howler to get our only league win against Oxford Utd, and that still remains to be the only game we've scored more than 1 goal in.

Or, Played 7, W3 D2 L2

Would you rather Robins play the best 11 and risk the game Saturday?

Can you go an hour without moaning?

Would like that to reflect the price then

show me where I’ve moaned today

 

[Evo1883]

Just a constant stream of negativity atm , fucking people need to get a fucking grip .

 

[Evo1883]

A quick look at the spurs forum and most are saying they are going to wallop us and we are poor.

I'd think we were going to wallop a championship team too tbh

 

[Johhny Blue]

Good, I'm sure Man Utd and Wolves last season thought the same

You could toss in Leeds and Leicester

It was the 97th minute

My advice if you don't agree with the pricing is don't go? Was always gonna be a rotated team also

Yes

why would I do that? Because I don’t agree doesn’t mean I’m not going

that would be very childish

was it? Strange because when the draw was made everyone said we should play a full team

amazing how opinion changes on here

Not everyone said that and not everyone thinks we should.

 

[Evo1883]

I really hope james maddison should he play be given a warm welcome .

At the time his sale gave the club much needed funds and he's a coventry kid

I'd be so embarrassed if he was booed live on tv too

 

[GIMOC]

Not everyone said that and not everyone thinks we should.

not one person when the draw was made said let’s play Allen, Tavares etc…

the hypocrisy on here is astounding

It doesn't matter really does it , even if we played our very strongest team we'd more than likely lose then people would be moaning if they played tired against Swansea.

Can't win

Prepare for embarrassment then pal , we have too many dickheads for there not to be

 

[covcity4life]

If it doesn't happen in the mighty PL, it doesn't exist.

Let snot pretend alot of our fans don't say "we should be winning this one" every fucking week

 

[GIMOC]

Can't win

Now who is the negative one

Tottenham will play fringe players. we more than matched United and wolves last season at full strength

As I said the hypocrisy on here is beyond belief

 

[Evo1883]

We've some very weird supporters

 

[Skybluekyle]

You could toss in Leeds and Leicester

Was thinking more about when we played, at the time, current Premier League teams, but you're not wrong.

 

[Evo1883]

Well if you perceive that as negative then fine , have you ever posted anything positive ?

 

[GIMOC]

you just said will lose. how’s that positive?

i post plenty of positive posts but as on here, those only like to jump on certain posts

the holier than thou on here jump on any negativity as they think it doesn’t show them as true fans. its embarrassing

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Think the argument on playing stronger players for cup matches for me only applies to the FA Cup. Chance of reaching Wembley is practically nothing with the semi finals being double legged.

Happy for Norman as want to see him starting and think it’s a big test. Overall no matter who plays, we’ll back them anyway.

The likelihood is we will lose and the odds are stacked against us .. that's not negative that's the reality of the game tonight .

Being positive is hoping we can get a result , even our percieved second string is quite strong on paper so it's not like we will be playing u21 players .

The point about playing full strength twice in 4 days is a pretty valid one

Not sure i agree with wrapping players in cotton wool this early into the season really, i'd expect changes sure but wouldn't want too many. The modern football fan just seems to weigh up everything as a risk, yeh someone might get injured, who gives a fuck? Sheaf gets injured doing fuck all.

 

[Sick Boy]

Let’s be honest, it’s the sort of game we’ll end up winning and then lose to Swansea.

If we look at it as spurs have the most aggressive press in Europe atm , our players will be more tired than normal .

Should we lose tonight and against Swansea fans 100% would be moaning that we played our best team tonight

 

[AOM]

And then beat Leeds away

Don't take the moaning away from us Evo, its all we have atm.

 

[Evo1883]

If I'm honest I'm quietly confident our 2nd string can give these a good game

Depends how second string... i'll wait to see the line up fully to pass judgement. Would like to see more of Bassette for sure.

Stop moaning then? Simple

Enjoy the game!

Do Spurs have the most aggressive press in Europe? And is it still the most aggressive press if they change most of their team? We really don't do well against high tempo press high up the pitch, so should be interesting.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Why all the negativity?

It’s not a game we should win, so if we do, great.

If we don’t then it doesn’t really matter anyway
