wish someone would kick his head out of play

Fair.

Your not a fan then Liquid

I think Oggy's second choice clipboard could do better.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Good early run by reid


PUSB

 

[sw88]

Poor corner from Vale, Reid tries I hold it for a longer than necessary period before eventually finding Beavon, and his eventual pass is played to George who is just offside

 

[Monners]

Are you there SW88?

Edit: "Yes"

 

[Nick]

Their 9 looks big, might cause issues

he is

 

[ccfcway]

Just to confirm, were the Welsh fans offered tickets for this game ?

 

[Nick]

Reid being direct

 

[sw88]

Bigi shoots a grass cutter after Reid runs on the wing again

Not sure I like this Reid! He's looking to go forward at every opportunity

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Reid made a good start

 

[Monners]

Just to confirm, were the Welsh fans offered tickets for this game ?

...and the Irish?

I think Oggy's second choice clipboard could do better.

So why can't Oggy dash Burge off the floor like he dashes that clipboard...perhaps a minor head injury might improve Burge's performance.

I don't understand the question, can you word it in a way that would take 10 minutes?

 

[ccfcway]

...and the Irish?

Sod them, rumour has it they bought all the wembley badges from the shop

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

Their 9 looks big, might cause issues

thats what she said ;-)

 

[Great_Expectations]

Why are there so many police and security today? Significantly more than the average game, especially for what is a poor crowd.

Protests expected?

Yeah, maybe it's like when someone gets a head injury and picks up a new accent. Burge could miraculously turn into a below average player. Chuck stuff at him quick.

I was worried the Irish weren't there

I'm sure there was trouble against them last year on boxing day

 

[trevelfarandwide]

So he'd pick up a south African accent or something, and attain a pub team player level to boot...get the large cabbages and thermoses on standby.

 

[Nick]

Rawson kicks it out

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

Sod them, rumour has it they bought all the wembley badges from the shop

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Reid looks a player tonight

 

[Nick]

Bigi awful so far

 

[sw88]

Bigi blinded by the flood lights I think

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'm sure there was trouble against them last year on boxing day

I'm not surprised they're from Stoke which is like a mixture of Aleppo and Victorian east end.

Throwing rotten fruit and veg should be the end of season lap of honour.

 

[sw88]

Reid involved again twisting and turning his way through before passing to haynes who crosses but keeper comes to catch easily

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sounds like this is the Reid we thought we were buying.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Here's another positive (for the context of our season):

Nathan Clarke has successfully completed passes to another Coventry player at least twice. To clarify, he didn't just aimlessly hoof the ball.

 

[sw88]

George shoots wide from a knock down clearance after a Haynes log throw

 

[Nick]

Corner them

 

[sw88]

Number 9 looks like they're only useful player so far

Don't like us being on top when the scores 0-0 though.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Sounds like this is the Reid we thought we were buying.

As much as Pep Guardiola is overhyped, the one thing you have to say is that he wants his teams to attack mercilessly. Perhaps that's the model we should work towards. Defenders in L1 and L2 are generally poor, so the 'we'll score one more than you' rule may be successful (not with our current forward players, though!)

I remember Keegans Newcastle doing that..they won fuck all but were brilliant to watch
