Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO (9 Viewers)

[Jamesimus]

We’ve been much the better team, but unfortunately they are still realistically in it. We need to change that early second half and then rest some of the players.

Dovin gives me much more confidence- very decent feet - looks like we’ve done well with that signing. Rudoni - absolute class.

 

[Nick]

Is it Andy whing talking?

 

[Ricky Otto]

Shit ref spoiling this. Brill atmosphere but fuck me just chanting Yellows is getting fucking boring

Well start cheering for your own team instead then

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Rudoni is outstanding, brings so much more than recently departed players on this showing

 

[Alkhen]

Good half, we'd be 2 up if not from that bounce off Simms shin.

Saka/MvE on the right and Bidwell/Wright on the left are so dangerous 🩵

 

[Cally Fedora]

Fantastic half of football. Our right flank is exceptional. Wright a cut above and Rudoni is special. More please

 

[hamil99]

No one has played bad first half. Just organisation from set pieces letting us down, and a bad lines man.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Andy Whing interview sounding like a U.S cattle market

 

[procdoc]

Wright is destroying them. Imagine thinking he wouldn’t be in the team

Should never have been a free kick anyway.

 

[shmmeee]

Got in just before our second. Looking good. Torp and Eccles playing well

 

[standupforcity]

Great performance.. only Eccles a little down on energy

 

[Philosoraptor]

According to CBS Sports the stadium used to be called Highfield Rd. Bless 'em

@Grendel just seen Torp foul from the view you would've had. It's 6 of one, half dozen the other but Torp definitely had his shirt. Still think it's soft, but less soft than it seemed from the other angle.

 

[CovLis86]

I'm also really looking forward to what BTA can do against these.

 

[stevefloyd]

I’m watching in Katy

Is that your missus?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We are well in control. The goal they got was from a poor bit of defending from Simms who has probably been out worst player (and not even that bad)

I’d be tempted to replace Simms with BTA

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Wright, Sakamoto and Rudoni look pure class.

The Oxford player had Torp 's shirt.

Very soft that

Assume this is a joke?

 

[Alkhen]

Nah not yet, Simms will get a goal here he is heating up. Put BTA on for the last 20

 

[cunningstunt]

Defence has looked mostly solid (for playing keep ball) look lovely down the right. wright is finding space and bidders is there to cover defensively. Just the two center mids want to play to far forwards causing the CB to pushup leaving gaps behind... Shame we got nothing to cover us on the bench (I don't call Allen a cm)

 

[Liquid Gold]

O’Hare would not get in the team ahead of Rudoni and its right we’re not paying a back up £25k.

 

[mark82]

The Oxford player had Torp 's shirt.

Very soft that

Both had each others shirts.

 

[shmmeee]

Assume this is a joke?

No?

 

[sometimesDanielle]

They’re fucked. They’re trudging off like they’ve just played 120 minutes. Playing up against Sakamoto and MVE down that side looks like a miserable way to make a living.

Yeah makes me happy to be a postie

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Love Simmsy but not on top of his game - expecting big things in the next 20 mins from Ellis - before BTA runs this lot ragged. We look a million times better than this time last season - far better in possession and with attacking options across the pitch.

 

[mark82]

Is that your missus?

Nah, it's SkyBlueTexan's.

 

[steve101]

Feel we need to get next goal early to take the pressure off. Thomas-Asante coming on at some point is an exciting prospect.

 

[Alkhen]

Torps been great, turning into a real all-rounder

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Great performance.. only Eccles a little down on energy

Eccles is a much better option than Allen

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not watching, how have we played

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[MalcSB]

No?

Stop reading economics books and concentrate on the football.
