HT 1-1
First 30 mins were pretty even with us taking control in the last 15 minutes

Gillingham have done a decent job of stifling our play and sound dangerous from set pieces although we probably deserve the lead

 

[Covstar]

Good half, Gillingham started off well with a couple of chances but Coventry city were on top for most of the half. All to play for 2nd half.

 

[Paxman II]

So we score first minute, they come back at us while we congratulate ourselves and as ever our shaky defence lets one in. We then proceed to dominate and all but score a few and somehow we are level at half time.
Is that about right?

Temperatures are boiling over due to some refereeing decisions it seems

So just under 200 more. Biggest jump since the first game. Fisher to be proven right?

 

[FRY-CCFC]

3 games have gone

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

158 more fans-- than Colchester... assuming all correct, no idea of free tickets etc...

 

[CovisGod]

Fisher to be proven right ? Behave, there's more people in the pub I'm in than at that game !

 

[ccfcway]

coming back in their thousands :thinking about:

 

[Covstar]

Leon clarke hits the woodwork for the 100th time this season.

 

[sw88]

Clarke hits the woodwork early on

 

[Covstar]

Clarke through on goal, lobbed over the bar!

 

[Covstar]

Callum Wilson goes down inside penalty area, difficult call, No pen.

 

[mark82]

Wilson having a quiet one today?

Just saying. Maybe those 150 fans are the fans that Fisher predicted "would be back after three games".

 

[WESTAUSSIESB]

Any players not pulling their weight today

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Carl baker shot, takes deflection and hits outside of the post.

given that he said 7K if we were doing well he needs a lot more people to hurry up and come back! Is this our first 'home' game after the schools have gone back? Haven't gone back and checked but from memory I think our attendances have always had a bit of a bump up when the summer holidays have finished.

No. Last week was the first game since summer.

Of course as a teacher I can confirm its take at least a week to sort out any free tickets given out... (Half joking)

 

[Covstar]

Gillingham attack, cross put across 6 yard box, Jordan Clarke clears it over the bar.

i think your right. its just one of those games

 

[Jack Griffin]

coming back in their thousands :thinking about:

BBC have published attendance 2,046, average Sixfields attendance now 2,027.

 

[chiefdave]

No. Last week was the first game since summer.

who knows then, could be people creeping back. think they'll need to start coming back a lot quicker if we're going to get close to Fishers worse case scenario. could be freebies or neutrals. think we'll have to give it a few more games and see if it keeps going up.

Need to learn how to break down teams quickly or this form won't last. It's OK when no-one expects it, but once teams are set up for us we've got to step up to another level.

 

[Covstar]

Manset warming up, Could be coming on soon.

 

[italiahorse]

Need to scrape out a win here.
Sounds as it could go either way the longer it goes.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Moussa shot saved

Are teams now working us out?
Wilson was unknown but perhaps they are marking him closer now.

 

[Covstar]

Frank moussa decent shot and good save again from their keeper.
