Match Thread Coventry City - Portsmouth FC Match Thread - Wednesday 9th Apr (7 Viewers)

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Two Portsmouth fans on the train, both in their 50’s, both absolutely smashed on cans of Carling and fawning over girls who look barely legal.

What a life.

At least I haven’t seen that smelly one with the bell!

BBC reporting that Wilson still isn’t 100% in his knee being being right.
Also, whilst I think everybody thinks that maybe a change is needed - there’s two other things to consider:
1. It will probably be even more detrimental to Collins confidence if he is dropped (especially given the chances of him leaving in summer will be slimmer now I’d have thought with Dovin injured)
2. If Wilson has a mistake ridden game then what next?

I really don’t think there’s much in it between them as keepers but I would go Wilson over him purely because of the fact that irrespective of the players in front of him, he was still the Golden Glove keeper two seasons ago.

1. I couldn't give a piss frigg about how Collins feels. He should be dropped
2. Wilson has credit in the bank, and he has never been as bad as Collins

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

That wasn't planned and we had no other options.

Well yeah.

 

[fatso]

Hopefully you're right but it's almost impossible for us to get an away result.

As long as you put 11 players on the pitch, you'll win.

We just aren't clinical enough up top and make too many mistakes defensively away from home.

You'll be far too good for us at your place.

I think you'll win 3 1.

Enjoy the game.

Your mob won't need to be clinical up front if we've got Collins in goal.

Trust me, anything on target has a bloody good chance.
Just go and look at the almighty fuck ups that cost us a result against Burnley

That's like having to choose to eat cat shit or dog shit

At the end of the day, they're both shit.

I'm going to be watching the match in a Portsmouth bar tonight, wearing a Cov top.

Hopefully there's only one happy person in said bar this evening...

Be sure to shake his hand at the end then, weeman.

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Yes this is correct. Jim Blyth was the injured keeper.

Kirkland was the other way round when Strachan refused to bring him on despite Hedman being barely able to stand up and pleading to be substituted. It was against Middlesborough who played crap but nevertheless scored a winner by Dean Gordon with the one shot they managed to muster against the ailing Hedman.

That game personified the sheer arrogance of Gordon Strachen. Fans were chanting to make the change of goalkeeper because of injury. That almost got us relegated in I think was 96/97.

Strachan was a very good footballer, is intelligent however his arrogance was certainly a factor in us getting relegated.

Brave man. Hopefully it's not a bar in Leigh Park. You won't get out alive.
Actually you probably won't get in alive.

Ha ha, no, I'll swerve the Heron thanks!

It's the bar at the Village Hotel in Cosham but there's normally a crowd of labourers etc in there but they're decent natured.

 

[blunted]

If Wilson can't get a game ahead of Collins there's no point in him being here

Fitness issue I gather

 

[fatso]

Fitness issue I gather

How fit do you need to be to stand in goal?

 

[Tommo1993]

2-0 win.

 

[chiefdave]

Not unless I missed some other interview

found it, "main focus is to be on the pitch week in, week out ... working hard to get back on the bench". I think it's fair enough if he's not going to be a number 1 to be happy to stay at a club where he's well liked by most fans and settled in the area.

if someone would pay me and someone else had to deal with the important shit I'd be perfectly happy

we moan when players move on to other clubs, we moan when they want to stay. they can't win!

spoken like a true overweight couch potato

 

[lifeskyblue]

You need fitness and speed to race outside the area then stand still

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Glad our elite taction recognises our best midfield.

Hopefully we can blow this lot away.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Allen's injury can't be too bad then as he's on the bench. As is Wilson so best hope Collins doesn't get injured a few minutes in if he's supposedly not completely fit either.

 

[jay2015]

Collins back in goal again

 

[bigfatronssba]

Well if the clown makes any serious mistakes tonight it’s on Lampard

 

[Adge]

Brave call but we have to get behind Collins. If he throws one in again then people have every right to criticise him if again it costs us.

 

[Captain Dart]

Might be a better strategy

 

[Otis]

2-0 win.

Oh bloody hell. Did I miss the game?

 

[skybluelee]

As someone who's live in a few places in the UK and travelled it extensively with work, I can assure you it's really not.

Granted, like everywhere, it's got it's problem areas but it's a really nice city. Coastline all around it, nice beaches, good shopping at Gunwharf and nice marina at Port Solent. There's a lot to do for families and it's generally a clean enough city.

The people are genuine and down to earth as well. Salt of the earth types.

Yeah but apart from that?

 

[Evo1883]

I knew frank would play Collins and its for the simple reason to show him he believes in him and for his head to stay up basically ..

Can't see any other reason

 

[fernandopartridge]

christ we are a chronically online society

I've just liked this post by physical post in solidarity, you should receive it tomorrow

 

[rob9872]

Need to win 5-4

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Heard Lampard is in the dugout today as FA still reviewing the red card. Anyone heard anything

 

[Ricketts]

Feeling confident about this one, I can see a five nil win. However, I won’t be upset if we win 6,7,8 or 9 nil.

I wouldn't have thought that was right. But who knows

Apparently reviewed his comments and they agreed the ref was a fucking useless wanker

 

[Otis]

No, you're right.

Let's hope he gets on the pitch.

You've just read the post on the CCFC twitter haven't you

 

[no_loyalty]

No, you're right.

Let's hope he gets on the pitch.

Can he play in goal?
