I’m really pleased with us go forward

but we need a leader at the back, it’s imperative

Bidwell has looked poor

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Reading the comments on here from Majorca, not near a TV.

2 Haji is knackered should have come off.
3 what the fuck is Eccles doing there.
4 Bidwell is shit.
5 Ref giving them everything.

8 shocking defence


Thank fuck we won then
PUSB

 

[ccfcchris]

Look we won. I'm happy,everyone is happy,but our defending is a worry.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Lovely goal by Haji.

If he had shot first time, as I thought he would, I think their excellent goalkeeper would have saved it. Haji did the right thing by dragging it across and going round him.

Haji was the MOTM for me but MVE, Saka (until he tired) and Rudoni were all excellent.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

They had 2 shots, that doesn't make us lucky does it.

The goal was lucky you can say crap defending and torp tackle was poor and Bidwells marking non existent but it was bloody lucky

 

[covcity4life]

I'm having such a good day today and just knew we would win even in injury time. I didn't post all game cos I feel high and dint wanna see any negativity

Brilliant from the city. It's gonna be an exciting season!

Total domination

 

[cunningstunt]

At least you've given them a fair chance.

Time will tell mate but didn't see pace or movement needed for a winger from either few months of coaching our way of playing will help but normally you would say I see the raw talent but I didn't see that today.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Congratulations. You were much the better team. Look forward to the return fixture at home when we’ve settled into the league.

A good three points for you against a team currently residing in the playoffs

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Not really a meltdown - we’ve played really well, but they’ve had 2 attacks and both times the defending has gifted them 2 goals.

the goal on Saturday was due to us gifting them the goal

read the comments - total meltdown

 

[mark82]

It’s mad that some were saying EMC should start over Wright.

Wright is our best player. Let's not make it a crusade against EMC though (I know that's not what you're doing).

Players who this thread thinks we need to ship out:

Torp
EMC
BTA
Bidwell
JDS
Latibeaudiere

Pissy beds in every electoral ward of the city. Jesus wept.

Some ,like Bidwell, didn't play to his usual standard . Others like Torp and Latibeaudiare were very good

 

[skybluegod]

The goal itself absolutely. No doubt. But thoroughly deserved as well

There will be at least one in Crete too if they keep playing like that.

 

[Gleneagles65]

We will win this league. City will thrash many teams this season.

 

[Matt smith]

I was ridiculously wrong about haji, the guy is superb

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It’s mad that some were saying EMC should start over Wright.

Agreed. After half a pre season game. Hilarious

 

[stupot07]

Get in! We needed that! Decent performance but defensive frailties remain.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’m really pleased with us go forward

but we need a leader at the back, it’s imperative

Bidwell has looked poor

Youve absolutely embarassed yourself on here once again

 

[Matt smith]

Look we won. I'm happy,everyone is happy,but our defending is a worry.

Completely agree Chris, a good team will carve us open like butter

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Out of jail big time, we cant be relying on their player dropping a bollock - it shouldve been a cricket score

FFS get that CB and DM through the door if Collins and Tav are making room

Why do we need a CB ?

Simms at fault for the first.
Bidwell for the second
Thought the centre back pairing worked well together

 

[TomRad85]

Bidwell caught under the ball. Very poor. If he's going to do that you might as well play midget Dasilva.

Not really? Said defensively we look shite which we do

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

3 points. Couldn't give a fuck about anything else. We deserved nothing less. Enjoy your weekend ladies and gentlemen!

 

[Tommo1993]

It’ll be the most one-sided game we’ve seen for ages, it would’ve been criminal if they took a point home. Oxford are shit and will go down.

Work to do at the back. Torp again weak link.

 

[RegTheDonk]

So cool from Wright great decision making

 

[pusbccfc]

The village mob from Oxford stood gawping at the Coventry fans before the game and couldn't believe their eyes and ears at the end.

Absolute joy

 

[Jamesimus]

‘Make the most of their chances’, a tap in and a freebie in the box. We have to stop giving away such farcical goals.

Well they did, they scored both of them! But yeah, a lot of luck involved. Notably the linesman in the first half as well.

I think when we beat Peterborough and I think Vic scored a hatrick and we won 3-0, Peterborough looked better than Oxford did in that game. They got relegated.

Total domination

that doesn’t paint a picture of lucky

“frustrating” and “sloppy in defence” fair enough, but not lucky.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Get in! We needed that! Decent performance but defensive frailties remain.

They were mistakes not frailties

 

[shmmeee]

Think we have been mugged off with mason Clark and assente. Can't see it at the momment

Can see it with Asante. No idea how Mason Clarke is worth £4m tho

 

[SkyblueTexan]

It’s mad that some were saying EMC should start over Wright.

I really hope he will come good soon. Quite underwhelming so far.
