Thoughts on Allen’s performance?

[shmmeee]

Suddenly playing football

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

bidwell fucking tanking down for that overlap run is just a delight to see

It’s so old skool but lovely

 

[shmmeee]

Thoughts on Allen’s performance?

Didn’t deserve to be dropped after last game.

 

[CovveeBreak]

What a step change this second half. MVE suddenly lighting up in attack, even more so when Tatsu is on.

 

[fatso]

Why didn't he go back to book him then?

He should of done imo, but he wouldn't of given the free kick as well.

Captain material

 

[ccfcchris]

What a change around.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Blackburn players are made of breadsticks

 

[bigfatronssba]

BTAs goal was the highest single shot xG figure I've ever seen, 0.98

Never understood the xG thing.

Does 0.98 mean it was unlikely for him to score?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

We’ve got much better

 

[Major Tom]

Should be shooting at this keeper

 

[Hobo]

Great over lapping by Bidwell

 

[SBAndy]

You just feel one goal could lead to two here

Nah can’t see us winning 4-0.

What a step change this second half. MVE suddenly lighting up in attack, even more so when Tatsu is on.

Soon as we went to 5-4-1 it's opened up for mve.

 

[Boicey]

It's been good to see us playing quicker and with more grit throughout the team.
Still lots of quality issues but there's good signs of team work and team spirit coming.

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

Nice to see Simms a bit more physical. Nice shoulder on their keeper following header

 

[Jamesimus]

Thoughts on Allen’s performance?

Been workmanlike. Not seen much of the ball. Committed less fouls than Torp.

 

[fatso]

Thoughts on Allen’s performance?

V good again. This formation suits him.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Soon as we went to 5-4-1 it's opened up for mve.

Should start this at Watford

 

[Mr Panda]

Lampard playing Pep with MVE tucking in slightly. Looks very dangerous running from that position

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

MvE class today. Please don't sell this month.

Coincidentally when Tats comes on MVE comes to light!

 

[Yorkshire SB]

MVE superb second half

 

[SBAndy]

Never understood the xG thing.

Does 0.98 mean it was unlikely for him to score?

If the shot was taken by a literally bang average finisher it would go in 98 times out of 100.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Thoughts on Allen’s performance?

Feel like Allen’s going to get a new contract at this rate

Thoughts on Allen’s performance?

Machine

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Bidwell is playing like Roberto Carlos

 

[Jamesimus]

Bidwell again bombing forward.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Very important header for Blackburn. Great running and cross

 

[Flying Fokker]

Come on City. These are made of paper. Simms is looking to rough the goalie up as well.

 

[Frostie]

Subs have all done well.
They are absolutely shot. Only way we concede now is something suicidal.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Comms keep mentioned Blackburns bad injury list. Whilst our, arguably, 3 best players are out, history has shown us that doesn't matter when teams play Coventry City.

I think this match has sold me on Lampard. It's taken time but despite being poor in the first half, we didn't concede and then we've looked decent this half.

 

[Nick]

Great cross from bidwell, Their defender just gets to it

 

[TomRad85]

Bidwell really good today too imo.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Great vision Allen
