Losers mentality that.

Fucking go for it, go for it Cityyyy!!!

Or a mentality that has been set by watching city for many years. Second this year, given the circumstances, would still be a good return. Of course, I'd rather we won the title, but promotion is the key to having some influence for discussions on ground/ownership (maybe).

I don't know what the reason is but he definitely seems off the pace

Hope he comes back to form for the next 2 games

2nd good for me too, however it’s not all to do with our past, we do have some properly over cautious and negative fans.

Maybe he needs a rest that’s what I put it down to anyway but who replaces such a player,also he’s hardly been shocking

 

[cc84cov]

Their midfielder Callum Camps was good I thought. Type of player we should be looking at within our budget if we get promoted

Agreed looked very good I thought mate

I thought Pask could play in the DM role

He’s not played there this season mate we’re chasing promotion hard it’s not the time

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Is anyone else concerned by Kelly's form?

Been poor for a few games now in my opinion.
Now either Robins thinks he's playing ok in which case fine, I'll bow to his superior knowledge or he just doesn't trust anyone else to play there which is a concern and perhaps the reason Kelly seems to be the only midfielder not getting rotated.

I love Kelly as a player and he is so important to us, but I've observed similar to you.

On a side note his shooting has been abysmal and I wonder if that has rocked him a bit. If he scored a goal I reckon it might sort him out.

But if Kelly gets injured or hits seriously bad form it's nice to know we have someone who has experience in that role. Otherwise we keep the same team and formation I assume. I thought the conversation was about concern over Kelly's form going forward.

Yes bar injury mate he will be in that team 100%

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Worried abiut next 3. What if we lose them all? Still be in it i guess

Looking st 13 fixtures i can see 7 to 8 wins and thats writing off the next 3

Why cant our rivals just fall away! Lol

 

[cc84cov]

You’ll see Rotherham fall away Tuesday night

 

[covcity4life]

Kellys been fine imo. More thab fine. Maybe today not too good but like mcallum form blown way out of proportion. I doubt MR is giving it a second thought

Cov subderland rotheram it looks like currently. I would say we are still underdogs compared to those 2

Thought McCallum Done well today I’ll mention

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Kelly was much better today. Walsh had a quite game also. But another massive 3 points .

All that matters is 3 points.

I can't agree. Don't think he's been himself for a few weeks.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Yes he was good for more than 45 mins.

 

[fatso]

Well as lo g as we keep on winning, he can have mares for all I care.

True. I don't think he's being playing well but we're winning. Good enough

I know you have but respectfully i just dont agree

For me he still shows for ball,keeps it ticking along,makes important tackles and interceptions. His shooty not great but we have 2 attack mids for that

Same team tuesday i say although MR change 2 am agains

Did that post tail off before it was completed?!

No lol but does read likw it

Mr prob change westbrooke abd shipley for o hsre and allen if fitness is an issue

 

[Johnnythespider]

Let's say Kelly picked up a injury during a game, who comes off the bench to take his place, Shipley could slot in there i think and if we were going to rest him at all that would be my choice to replace him.

Allen might be able to slot in there, even if he is a lot shorter. The you've got Shipley/Westbrooke to play the ACM.

I'm convinced there's a screamer in Kelly just waiting to be unleashed. It would be great to see it sometime in the next two games

He was good today. Just outshine by Walsh and ohare

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We're looking really vulnerable at the back. They have carved straight through us a lot today.

They really didn’t

They did, marosi made more saves than their keeper.

Agree he did we need to tighten up slightly & look after the ball better Rotherham & Sunderland coming up we can not afford to be giving chances away although I imagine both teams are long ball merchants Sunderland more so

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If you look at our possession % today this must be this first time in a while we’ve been beaten.

 

[Evo1883]

Just glad to get the 3.

Won't be vintage every week

PUSB

 

[cc84cov]

All the pressure is on Rotherham Tuesday leave points but we have the game in hand we beat them & win the game in hand we’re 6 ahead

So basically we win yet again, but people find a way to say we were somehow lucky and got “carved apart”. 30+ games in, when does it stop being about luck and start being about us having a great keeper and solid defence?

He made one or two they did not rip through us at will. For most of the game they were kept well at arms length
