Great result that. The confidence seems to be returning. Can be looking at 4 points from Derby and Sunderland and it all looks rosey again.

Can see it changing when Bidwell is fit

Not sure we'll change it to accommodate a player who hasn't had a great season so far.

God I hope we don't. This is so much better with Rudoni there.

I’d say we are Scumberlands bogey team !!

I’ll get me coat

Dizzy heights of 13th and Derby at home tuesday

Crikey your keen, getting there a day early, the games on Wednesday.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Two excellent wins on the trot and signs the season has been turned around. Can’t believe it was only 8daus ago the discussion was all doom and gloom. Win Wednesday and the start of the season will largely be forgotten. But we have some difficult games to come so there may be a few downs as well as ups before Christmas. As long as we sing (and stand) together all should be well

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Doug King and Robins need to do a fans forum NOW!

Good grief give them a chance they'll be on the coach back from Middlesbrough.

 

[Mcbean]

It’s funny every time they mentioned Hackney i thought of Hackney Fox and for some reason I thought regularly we were playing Leeds unlike Oggy who thought we were playing Brighton

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Love it

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I meant if we go back to a back four

Had to share this lol apologies if it's already on here

 

[harvey098]

Ahhh what a result!! So nice to be looking at the table and looking up to the playoffs. Beat Derby and we’re suddenly right in the mix again

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hate it when people claim to speak for everybody else.

everybody hates that.

Didn't realise Conways dad is a canley lad, just seen a lad I know with him on Facebook

 

[Evo1883]

3 good goals

That's a proper header

 

[mmttww]

That's a proper header

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Big shout out to Tatsu.

Came on and was critical in 2 goals. Great cross for Haji and for Eccles goal he played a clever pass from a tight spot into Haji to play through to Josh.

We are to Middlesboro what Preston are to us.

 

[ps1948]

We looked great against 11 they had a man sent off and we fell apart
Lati Dovin and Eccles did their best to give it away
We scored 3 had 3 disallowed missed two very good chances (sitters ) and played very poorly but hey ho we Won

"We scored 3, had another 3 ruled out for offside - 2 of them very close to being onside - and missed 2 sitters" and that's your definition of playing poorly? Boro only had 1 shot on target.
And Eccles who "did his best to give it away" put in a perfect cross for the first goal and scored the 3rd himself.
I'm regularly amazed at some of the comments on here.

We are to Middlesboro what Preston are to us.

Before the Playoff semi-final 2nd leg, the last time we won away at Boro was 1993. We’ve now won 3 on the bounce and seem to be kryptonite for Carrick.

Eccles really thrived in his role today, it was quite interesting to see us defend in a 4-4-2 shape at times and Eccles take up something close to a RM. Great cross for the Thomas’ goal, supported MVE defensively and brilliantly broke forward for his goal. More of that please!

Make no mistake, it was a 3-4-1-2 shape but because Rudoni isn’t a LWB by trade, we’ve tweaked the shape to compensate for that.

As a unit, Rudoni, Sheaf, Torp and Eccles all worked well together. Keep them in the team for Derby!

 

[Cally Fedora]

Sakamoto deserves a shout. Exceptional when he came on.

 

[larry_david]

Josh Eccles picked his spot fantastically well and he picked his spot, after making a superb run through after being seen by Haji Wright.

He kept his nerve and as I said, he picked his spot and it was a fitting end to the scoring.

We forget how young Eccles is, he still has achne!

Steady.....We've won 3 times at the Riverside since it was built ....
We haven't won in the league at Preston for 100 years!!

140 years

140 years

It will happen one day ,look how long it took us to win at Aston Vile.

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Got back to Cov about 9.15. Long old day but worth it . Didn’t think Middlesbrough really troubled us I thought it would be a tough game. The away support was great. Only about 1400 or so but think we get behind them better because that’s the hard core followers

You forgot to mention he “picked his spot”

Eccles will be 25 on his next birthday. Hardly a spring chicken football wise.
