Stevenage match thread

[Nick]

I hope we bounce back today with a win, I can see Wilson scoring a couple.

3-2 to us I think

 

[shy_tall_knight]

2-0 Stevenage, a replay of last week, since second half against vale and all of Brentford we have shown that we haven't got the style of football to compete with well organised physical teams. westley will have watxhed Cov for a few sundays and would see how to stop us. Negative but i think the limit of oue squad is beginning to show. Barton Fleck Thomas & moussa in midfield provide no defensive cover, there are no options to bring into midfield. Jordan ok with defending the ball on the floor ineffective at set pieces, not a centre half in my opinion possibly as part of a back 3 but just too small to be one of our centre halves. Stevenage will be direct our confidence is low.

ok ..HERE WE GO THEN!!!

From a betting perspective this is tough Stevenage 13/5 Draw 11/4 Sky Blues 11/10

After last weeks performance and Stevenage at home 11/10 looks a tad skinny to me.

I predict OVER 3.5 Goals in the game @ 13/8

and a 2-2 Draw at 12/1

My heart says 2-0 sky blues ..can't see a clean sheet today though for either side.

How did it go at the Amersham Arms? I used to live round the corner and was always in there. I hear it's a bit trendy now.

It was a great gig!! An awesome venue - Like an arty version of the Jailhouse at it's peak!! We really love it round there!! Lungs were fantastic and we made some good friends!! The subtle Sky Blue Ribbons we had on stage possibly went amiss though!! We can't wait to go back!!

I wouldn't say trendy - you can tell Goldsmith's is just around the corner though!!

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Unchanged team, Baker still out.

16 year old James Maddison on the bench

16 year old James Maddison on the bench

Getting experience so he will be regarded as 'the' experienced player the youngsters look up to next year.

 

[Monners]

Think we will win - 2-0. Westley is a horrible piece of work also, so hope that proper football wins he day, not the version that he subsribes to.

 

[Skybluepiglet]

Yeah..could be a dirty game ...someone on CWR just predicted a 4-1 win for sky blues.

I will have a pint of what he's drinking!! :laugh:

 

[sw88]

2 early chances for us, one for them. Leon couldn't have hit his sweeter but just wide of the post.

Presley appears to be taking part in a dress down day today. Not suit!

 

[Marty]

Anybody elses radio coverage stopped?? Listening via Radio.

 

[Monners]

McSheffrey just scored for Chesterfield.

 

[sw88]

Another chance for us. Great ball over by Christie, brought down excellently by Wilson, but blazes his shot over. Was harder to being it down the way he did than it was to shoot :facepalm:

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

McSheffery scores for Chesterfied

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

cmon city bash em

 

[sw88]

Minutes applause on the 15th minute! Very touching! Nice that a couple of Stevenage supporters joined in too

Another chance for us (didn't spot who by) well saved by their keeper who got down low and must have seen it late!

 

[Covstar]

Conor Thomas has a go from 20 yards and keeper gets 1 hand to it. Rebound nearly fell for Wilson.

Great stuff

 

[sw88]

We're restricting them to long range efforts, although they are getting closer.

Also conceding too many set pieces though and with their height i can see one going against us.

That said, Stevenage aren't a pretty side. Very much hit and hope, and if that fails, fall on the floor

 

[sw88]

Another great cross this time by Barton. Reaches Leon who opts to volley rarer than head. Poor effort well wide

 

[Marty]

Which station are you listening on?

BBC C&W, It came back after going down for around 10 minutes.

 

[sw88]

Moussa shoots wide after twisting and turning several times. Was never going to pass after all those turns!

Safe to say you didn't miss much

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

[Covstar]

Leon clarke intercepts a backpass and scores! 1-0!

 

[Marty]

1-0 Clarke.

 

[sw88]

Leon finally puts one away after really fluffing a chance seconds earlier!

1-0 City
