Match Thread Coventry City - Stoke City Match Thread - Saturday 8th Mar (26 Viewers)

Stoke were the better team 2nd half but should have been a penalty and a red card for their keeper. We convert that to 3-0, it’s a different game.

We found a way though. Again though, our Achilles heel is conceding soft goals. That’s 4 we’ve conceded in two games. We can’t keep doing that.

Love having a manger showing passion. Love it even more that he's giving it to the away end.

I remember shmee saying lampard doesn't care about cov

 

[Grendel]

We got away with that. Thomas will probably never score a goal like that all career! Lampard's subs were strange and it put us on the back foot, and ultimately cost an equalizer.
But here we are 9 in 10.
Robin's takes credit home. He almost pulled off a terrific draw from 2-0 down. They will keep improving and be safe.
Now we have to look at our injuries and fingers crossed they are all OK.

Just embarrassing

Hopefully teething problems with the new formation what can get worked out or next time we bring on a CB and go back to the 5-3-2 when we are winning games

Did Robins do a lap of honour at the end?

He’s just got a round in at the Tavern - karaoke starting in 10 mins apparently

 

[shmmeee]

I disagree I think we’ve controlled games decently well outside the last two and Wednesday and got what we deserved.

Not saying it’s perfect as feel the loss of one centre back has made us less comfortable but football is a game of opinions. Let’s just enjoy the run can’t last forever

I think the control is coming with Grimes and the 433. Last three we’ve started to see it for spells during games. I think the spell with five at the back was more spirit than quality but we’ve got confidence now and better quality players coming back.

 

[Ashdown]

What a finish, heart rate through the roof, getting too old for all this excitement. Referee bottled it the prick but oh the…..your not singing anymore was very sweet 🩵🩵

You got a poo emoji cos you like being negative about us under lampard as simple as that. Nothing personal

Lampard is being negative about us under Lampard, simple as that

Lampard would get a poo emoji too

 

[fernandopartridge]

Btw Paxman as usual talking rubbish about the subs, I thought the last batch in particular made a difference for us

 

[Rodders1]

Special end to the game today with a big crowd. Amazing. Lampard spot on with his comments after - we were too “safe” 2nd half which allowed Stoke back in.

Pen or Eccles shot going in would have put it to bed - but what a relief!

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Lampard has been outwitted by Robins here

You're having a Mare today, go and have a lie down.

 

[pusbccfc]

Now the dust has settled, how shite must Robins feel now? Genuinely.

 

[SBTasha]

Well that was the best rollercoaster ride I’ve been on in years! Fair play to our supporters today with the respect they showed Robins. Quick and cheerful and then back to our new Legend. You don’t become the best form manager of all time with a club for no reason. 9/10 all around

 

[Gint11]

30K attendance!

You said he got outwitted by robins

You said torp needed to go off after 10 mins

You are negative it's as simple as that

 

[shmmeee]

30K attendance!

Us actually winning in front of a full house is new too!

 

[CCFCSteve]

We got away with it this week, got to perform a lot better than that in the next run of games. Brilliant finish from Thomas, composure from a centre half out of this world.

I understand the sentiment but ref gives that obvious pen and we’re out of sight….not to mention Eccles smacking the post…. and their offside second. It would’ve been a travesty if we hadn’t won

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Didn't really see the 3rd goal as my son was in tears...apparently he's not good with loud noises.

He's not coming to Wembley with me!

Stuck in the traffic waiting to drive back South. Safe journeys home everyone..

What a result!

Hope your lad is ok

Stoke won on xG, for anyone interested. It’s a pointless but popular stat.

Don't give a fuck, it's who scores the most goals that counts.

It's the sign of a good team when you don't play well but still win, in the second half anyway.

Safe journey back home Skyblueweeman.

Invest in ear defenders for your son.

Wow absolutely buzzing.

stonewall penalty and different game. Red card also.

their 2nd must be offside.

Did feel slightly for robins at end! On we go, get in.

Nah

 

[ajsccfc]

I thought the reception for Robins was about right as well, you'd not really know he was there until he got a song and a clap after the game. Thought I heard a brief threat of 'sacked in the morning' breaking out but glad it didn't, I'll take no glee in any downfall other than the 90 minutes he's trying to beat us.

Yep I thought also about their second.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

We've been sloppy at times recently and found a way to get the three points. Got a few more levels in us.

Thought Bta on left and haji through middle was a bit bizarre, hope Lampard realises quickly Hajis best football for us has always come off the left.
