Exceuse me for coming onto your forum and posting but I often look at oppositions forum to see what thier take on the match was.

Todays was a good game and both teams played some reasonable stuff at times.

Both teams could have won the game.

I don't know which of your players it was but about 20 minutes from time hit an absolute blinder that struck our post.

Shortly after we had what looked like a good goal disallowed.

I think Coventry will do OK in this division and should be pushing towards the top of the league.

I have seen numerous "big" teams come down to us at Huish Park and go away wondering what happened.

Ultimately at this level money talks and all of the bigger clubs seem to go up after a year or two.

Enjoy the experience and I thought your support was pretty decent.

Player who hit the bar was Adam Barton bought from Preston

The general opinion here is we played pretty awful and were outplayed but still had enough chances to have won the game

yep. We get loads of people who come on ouf forums and moan about everything as well.

It was a good open game and good to watch with chances at both ends.

I would have felt hard done by if we had lost and thought that we were probably a bit fortunate to have won.

A draw was a decent result for both teams.

I think it was maybe just a bit of a shock to some. Didn't go myself so can't comment on the performance.

Trying to get my Yeovil-supporting mate to post his view: it's a bit less complimentary about us.

Nonleagueherewecome · Aug 18, 2012

Well he was put off from signing up due to "a lot of stuff in the other threads on there", but here's my Yeovil-supporting mates verdict:

"To be honest it was quite an even game, we were the better side in the first half and you caught us cold with the goal really. Although our goal was a similar goal from a set piece.

Both sides had a few good chances although we probably had the better ones but were just a bit unlucky and you only seemed to come into the game when we started getting tired near the end.

Your style of play seemed to be boot it up long to someone up front too. And that Cody MacDonald is very fond of diving around on the floor. Wasn't very impressed with your fans either, they were quiet for most of the match bar 5 minutes after the goal and play had to be halted at one point to get a smoke flare off the pitch.

Good game though. Very enjoyable to watch and I certainly think this Yeovil side is looking like the best side for a few years. Upson, Reid, Webster and the keeper Stech all look class acts and the rest of the team look like good players rather than the journeymen we're used to.

I hope Coventry can play better football than the long ball stuff today though for your sake, it was pretty unappetising."

In a sense, we can maybe take some encouragement that he really rates their present side. The long-ball City game is what worries me, though.

I was looking at Yeovil's team and it looks decent to be fair to them, too many Cov fans expecting to give them a hiding.

Also, to the posters on here suggesting we get more direct... It clearly doesn't work! :jerkit:
:facepalm:

He adds that he thinks we're pretty dis-respectful!

"I can understand it but I read a lot of stuff about what a small club Yeovil is blah blah blah. We are a small club but what happens on the pitch is what matters. And I mean I'm proud we keep the ball on the deck and try and play a bit, so I was a bit surprised to see a big team come down and play long ball against us."

kg82 · Aug 18, 2012

Sorry, from what I saw today we weren't outplayed, just people expecting us to outplay them and win big. They were the better team before the goal, we grew into it after that, then they scored and it was pretty even. 2nd half we were the better team, just, and had a lot of chances to win, including an absolute stonewall penalty (and red card) that the ref somehow missed. Their disallowed goal you could see from our end he used his arm to control it. Barton's shot that hit the post was fantastic, but the play leading up to it was even better. McDonald's should have had a hat-trick, his miss at the end was unbelievable. BUT, what I did like was that he was easily out-muscling their 2 big CB's all game - 3-4 times he did it and created something.

All in all an even game but we had by far the better of the chances.

RichieGunns · Aug 18, 2012

Im taking positives from what people are saying on here which is nice to see. Yeh there are a few negatives too but you need negatives to gain a reaction from the players in training etc.

My biggest worry is the problems we have a set peices. The Yeovil goal was scored from a set piece which we really should have cleared. As for our corner taking, its woeful and we often waste the opportunity.

Of course this is an opinion based on reactions from the fans who were there and on what i heard on the radio. I just think Thorn needs to stamp it out. The more opportunities we take at set peices, the more goals we'll score. Fleck proved that today did he not?

Any news on fleck by the way?

Sisu_Cockroaches · Aug 18, 2012

I honestly could not give a flying fuck about a Yeovil Town perspective, i hope we never play you again in the league.

You wont get your wish as theyre coming to play at the ricoh at some point.

And its good to get an outside perspective. We're biased as its our club so we wont always see it from every angle.

We next play them in our league on 9th February 2013. So bad luck with that hope!

I care about a Yeovil perspective as a person I know who is a Yeovil fan was there, and I pretty much respect his views on all things sporting more than anyone else I know. I've worked with him on a project and trust his judgement.

Darn, beat me to it!

Sisu_Cockroaches · Aug 18, 2012

Why do we need an outside perspective exactly?

Because otherwise we'll become inward-looking and ignorant maybe? Because it's a different perspective to our own, and therefore adds objectivity to the discussion?

Did you read my post or did you just skim read it?

As i said, as cov supporters we dont always see a performances from every angle because we are naturally biased. Having a fan from another team give their view can fill in those areas we might not see straight away.

Or in the case of some of our fans, actually put a less melodramatic spin on things rather than always going for the same party tricks aka thorn is crap etc.

That's 1-1. But who played better? Does it matter?

Thats just total crap to be honest mate, the fact is hes come in here for a chat cause hes lonely cause there is not much to do in Yeovil. We all know if were shit or good we dont need a Yeovil fans perspective to tell us that, and if you do you haven't got a clue yourself. I think he should piss off.

WeWillBeBack · Aug 18, 2012

Hope we've got going by the time we play you at the ricoh. It's in february so at least we won't be the ones to secure your relagation.

Based on their performance, i think mid table will be where they finish. Relegation would be harsh and i personally think the bookies have got it wrong.

'Do one' is another way of saying 'Go Away' and i picked it up while i was at university in Wales so that is how i know what it means as it was explained to me pretty much how im explaining it to you

You better phone up paddy power then mate for the groundbreaking news you can provide them with, they dont have much experience in this field you could really help them out here.

Plenty of bookies have made predicitions that havent come true. Its all based on statistics from previous seasons that are coerlated together to bring about a prediction for the season.

Im not saying they dont know what theyre doing, im simply saying i believe Yeovil will do well for themselves this season and not be relegation fodder like everyone seems to think they will be.
