Simms has the touch of a Rhino

As does Wright.

 

[Saddlebrains]

All seriousness through

Millwall 2 down to Wednesday at the Den

They're fully in the shit

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Wrights touch is better than what?

Did fear the first touch of our forwards my my haji has the leaden feet

 

[covboy9]

Good first 15mins since then we’ve been awful

 

[Johnnythespider]

Haji Wright poor so far, hopefully better in the second half

 

[fernandopartridge]

Understand why he's playing but Lati is definitely not a right back in the mould we need

yours

 

[skybluecam]

You'd watch a game in the Sunday leagues and see strikers with better first touches than Haji and Simms. Baffling stuff

Your touch tends to look a lot better when you’re getting closed down by a chain smoking bricklayer vs a professional athlete

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I dud call it pre match..who the fuck is gonna hold it up...our strikers look Village at times!

 

[Cov98]

Concentrating on this game Stoke 0 - 0 Cov in case anyone is wondering

Mate can you stop filling the thread, trying to focus on the Milwall score

 

[lordsummerisle]

Is Haji Wright ok? Playing like he’s never seen a football before

He pretty much always does, but manages to score goals, so can't knock him too much.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

That Gooch looks decent for them.

Was decent for Sunderland. Used to losing against us!

 

[Astute]

Nearly an OG

 

[ptr]

Simms has to get across the defender there ffs. Movement not good enough in box.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Fucking Eccles - why why why???? stay off corner kicks

 

[skybluecam]

Erm Josh?

 

[stevefloyd]

Tavares anytime goalscorer -5/2

Anytime in the next 5 years?

 

[Cov98]

A vintage Eccles corner that one. Not sure why he takes them with Torp on the pitch

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Please have Torp take all corners please

 

[Grendel]

We need to win this game - stoke are a poor team with little belief

 

[Saddlebrains]

Like a nice Gooch tbf

 

[mark82]

Frustrating half. Should be leading (no idea how O'Hare didn't score. Maybe been spending time with Godden in the week).

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Really need to win against these. They are vulnerable.

 

[fernandopartridge]

We've not been brilliant but should be ahead and haven't looked like conceding.

Frustrating as fuck, we really are our own worst enemies. O'Hare plants that ball anywhere else other than straight at the defender and these collapse.

Stoke fans fuming for no reason whatsoever. Their 8 should be off.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Need to pick it up second half

Yeah, they're not very good really. We don't seem overly threatening though, O'Hare chance aside.

 

[ccfcchris]

I don’t care, this is the COVENTRY match day thread

You know the rules and so do I

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Must be frustrating being a Stoke fan. They've had decent money for years, but every season they just seem to have a bunch of giant cloggers and play awful football.

Very aggressive team

3 games on the spin we’ve contrived to miss when it’s easier to score

 

[MalcSB]

yours

Only marginally on todays evidence, and mine is shite.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Haji Wright poor so far, hopefully better in the second half

What's wrong with him. He's slipping.cant hold it up...literally is offering nothing git in some great positions to attack when in time and space. What a frustrating player.

 

[Macca]

We do but we’ve looked like have run out of steam over last few weeks

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Funny old game, again. We're by far the better side, but there's a certain irony that our forwards are the ones that show the least technical ability. Wright been poor, Simms is having a good old fashioned physical battle with the defender and is causing problems, but his control is non existent. If we must play Tavares, what on earth are we doing floating out long passes to the slightest player on the pitch? He's never going to win them.

O'Hare busy, but sometimes he's too predictable in trying to run the ball. DaSilva looked good, but not been particularly tested defensively.
