Thanks Frank. That was an absolute treat. Complete domination. Forgotten players being given a chance to flourish.

Away end was excellent. The players are thriving off the positivity. Momentum is fully building.

So many great performances on the pitch.

3 cheers for frank!

It would be very harsh to drop Allen I think.

 

[Deity]

Excellent performance, only disappointment is only 2.0, should have been 3/4/5.

Roll on Wednesday, I really fancy us. Grimes to start - not sure who for yet.

Allen, not because he deserves dropping but because he deserves a little break before Ipswich

 

[covcity4life]

Grimes may end up like dovin. Waiting for current midfield to slip up a little to get him in and then he cements.

However I can't see it being too long either.

So to summarise he might play Vs Leeds he might not

 

[shmmeee]

Leeds are in win-draw-win-draw mode, would be a good point for us and definitely viable.

Draw would be huge. Think it’ll be a backs to the wall job but you never know at the minute.

 

[shmmeee]

It would be very harsh to drop Allen I think.

Cant change anyone can you?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I can see Grimes coming straight in for Leeds. My suspicion is maybe for Torp.

 

[TomRad85]

Cant change anyone can you?

Might need to with the quick turnaround. Not much but anyone who's struggling a bit. It's a good excuse to get Grimes in if he wanted to.

 

[wingy]

Then we're fucked

Nah!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Unless we gets poached

Third time lucky for us - the world would probably end at that point.

It's not called the apocalypse for nothing

 

[shmmeee]

Might need to with the quick turnaround. Not much but anyone who's struggling a bit. It's a good excuse to get Grimes in if he wanted to.

Got a feeling when you’re on a run like this no one feels tired.

 

[Liquicon]

Grimes will be cup tied for Ipswich won’t he?

If players need rotation with extra games can see him starting against Leeds in that case.

 

[Viktor17]

Grimes also cup tied so can’t play next Saturday - so imagine he will play for Allen or torp

 

[TomRad85]

Got a feeling when you’re on a run like this no one feels tired.

Wholesale changes for Ipswich?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Got a feeling when you’re on a run like this no one feels tired.

Allen's energy levels today were something else. Would love to know how much ground he covered

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wholesale changes for Ipswich?

Leeds game must take full priority then you pick a rotated team in the Cup.

 

[Sick Boy]

Lampard comes across so well in interviews.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

What an incredible afternoon with the Sky Blue Army.

This is a team that has clicked and is playing with supreme confidence. We are so well-drilled and solid, and it's in stark contrast to how we looked in the run-up to Robins leaving.

That this is a second-string team playing a backup formation, with Sheaf, Wright, Grimes and EMC all to come, is phenomenal.

Another goal for each of our front two. Another clean sheet for our back five and GK. Our midfield three once again shutting everything down.

What a time this is. I'm on cloud 9!

 

[shmmeee]

Wholesale changes for Ipswich?

Maybe. I think we’ve chopped and changed so much I’d keep playing everyone until they drop or the form does tbh

 

[covcity4life]

4 on the bounce! Wednesday will be a huge test of how far we have come.

Always another game before we can judge lampard

Just imagine if we hadn't taken over half the season to get going

 

[glasgowfan]

Can't believe I was watching the game and I miss 2nd goal

At 1m 10s Swansea City 0-2 Coventry City: Ellis Simms scores as Frank Lampard's Sky Blues win fourth straight league game

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

2-0 win
Simms brace

Got the score right at least

 

[covcity4life]

Lampard comes across so well in interviews.

I remember one poster saying he doesn't really say anything of note and is a bit boring

The hate for him initially was so fucking ridiculous when you think back.

 

[David O'Day]

Same team Wednesday, Grimes can come off the bench

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Lampard comes across so well in interviews.

Yep took a while for his performances on the pitch to win me over but I said from his first interview he’s an excellent speaker

 

[quinn1971]

Can’t change that team, especially on weds, Allen can have a breather against Ipswich.

 

[quinn1971]

Maybe. I think we’ve chopped and changed so much I’d keep playing everyone until they drop or the form does tbh

Thought that, we always seemed to make too many changes even after a win, can see what a run of games does, gonna be hard to bring the injured players and grimes in, you don’t want to change too much now,

 

[covcity4life]

Can’t change that team, especially on weds, Allen can have a breather against Ipswich.

And who plays for him then?

 

[Domo]

cant help but think itll be a cov win - 2-0
simms & BTA

I'm ITK btw

 

[Shannerz]

The hate for him initially was so fucking ridiculous when you think back.

There wasn't hate, just question marks over whether he'd be a good appointment, which were reasonable.

He's looking good so far, though. Long may it continue.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

All those salty swansea fans can fuck off now, we took ya captain and we took the three points.... Their fans and newspapers said we're both midtable teams and theres not much difference between the two, nah mate we're levels above them

 

[covcity4life]

Eh. People said he is clueless. Doesn't care. Needs to be sacked cos it clearly won't work. Tactically undone by Barry fucking bannan looool

Just admit you were wrong rather than. Pretend it never happened.

 

[Grendel]

@Ring Of Steel how did Stoke play?

Made up for him. Actually won @Ring Of Steel hows the traffic back from Hull?

 

[Shannerz]

Admit I was wrong?

I didn't say any of those things, and didn't lay any of the blame for the ropey early performances on him at all. I don't think anyone sensible did.

I said that I had my doubts he'd be a good appointment prior to him arriving, and I'll be very happy to be proved wrong on that in the long-term.
