Robins got lucky again,his team selection and lack of subs will get coventry a thrashing.why take off Eccles defending midfielder for a attacking midfielder, Allen.godden should have been replaced by allen
It’s not his pace for me it’s goddens lack of ball control.Hard to know what to take from today’s game. Outside of the euphoria of making it into the play-offs and the good point on the road I actually thought we were pretty poor in the second half. I don’t know if it was nerves from us, whether they just kicked it up a notch or maybe a combination of the two but we were really struggling to keep hold of the ball for most of that second 45. So many sloppy bit of play under little pressure and a lot of panic-driven actions. Execution of the outball to Gyokeres was so poor as well. We’ve been so good at getting the ball to him on the break this season and letting him do his thing but that was really lacking today.
Like I said I think you can probably attribute a lot of it to nerves, and it felt like we noticeably relaxed and started playing better as soon as we knew Blackburn were ahead, but they also passed the ball around so well and looked very confident in doing so. We did well to limit to them to few chances, the centre backs were outstanding as usual, and Kelly was great too, but we also invited them onto us so much and it felt like if they’d had wanted it a bit more they might have been able to put us under a bit of pressure and find a winner.
How that all impacts the game on Sunday, I’m not sure. Their injuries seem to be impacting them a fair bit, especially at the back, and I think we saw today in the first half especially, that we can get at them. Not sure whether I’d start Godden or not for this one, I think he struggles to impact the game as much in these games where we don’t have much of the ball and he can be painfully slow (there was one instance in the first half today where he looked clean through and Lenihan pretty comfortably caught up with him from a worse starting position), however he has also been good in our last two home games and we might play with a bit more of the ball in this one.
Think that if we can get at least a 1 goal advantage to take to the Riverside then we should have a good chance, but it’s going to be a really tough game. Fingers crossed.
Wonder how much the tickets will be I reckon £30Boro start selling noon tomorrow
Wonder how much the tickets will be I reckon £30
Seems so as that’s what boro chargingI thought it was confirmed at £25 for ST holders and £33 for everyone else. But could be wrong
I thought Godden did okay overall, our long balls were never going to suit his game but he worked his nuts off ahead of our midfield, a tough job. I was a bit critical of him flirting with offside when it just needed a little look along the line, but I thought he put a decent shift in.It’s not his pace for me it’s goddens lack of ball control.
Who's new alias is this one?Adrian viveash is the football brains of ccfc.

What on earth are you talking about
Not sure why people are so quick to change a side that's lost 1 in the last 17Not sure i'd change anything for Sunday.
I'm with this, as long as they don't drop deep and stop pressing in the 2nd half like they did yesterday. Need 90 mins of that 1st half.Not sure i'd change anything for Sunday.
How is pretending to like Arsenal ladies going?Not a Liverpool fan anymore then?

Oh well, shame.Not great, Leah is poorly
It’s a very good record and we’ve been really good at home vs top sides this year, although I don’t know how much you can take from us beating Middlesbrough in September while they had Wilder in charge and half their team was different.
Oh well, shame.
You can pretend to be upset about that

That’s how I saw it too.Worked hard , also for the goal looked to me like godden tried to push it back across the defender to shoot but the failed to get it over the defenders legs ..he never tried to control it
Godden was playing back infront of the back line quite often yesterday , can't fault any of the lads
It’s correct it happened in the last game too when Hamer played it back and it accidentally came off the defender and to yok in an offside positionThat’s how I saw it too.
Also, can someone clear up that offside for me when Hamer pushed the ball backward, away from their goal, it hit their player and went to Godden, who was in an offside position. But, the touch was off their player. I could understand it if Gus had played it even slightly forward and it’s gone off their player to Godden, but the fact he was pushing it away from their goal confused the hell out of me how it could be offside.
Thought it must have been something like that. Bit of a weird rule.It’s correct it happened in the last game too when Hamer played it back and it accidentally came off the defender and to yok in an offside position
We checked and the law states if it’s an accidental ricochet off the defender it’s offside, if it’s deliberate it’s onside
Thought it must have been something like that. Bit of a weird rule.
