Gone to shit at the back

Glad I sit near the front, you dirty bastard.

It was right in front of me, you could hear the impact.

Yet referees have been instructed to allow more contact and physicality this season

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

because they are floofs

They seem more upset about this than happy at scoring 7

Oh don’t get me wrong - I’m delighted. We needed a new goalkeeper. Just I’d wanted one that was significantly better than what we had

The ball had gone, Kitching took him out to get him back for fouling Thomas. It wasn't soft. The one against Milan was though.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

My take is, he maybe could have done a little better, but some on here were calling it a howler

Hardly a howler.

He will have switched off, 7-0 up at the death, he was already down the tunnel.

 

[Otis]

It definitely wasnt a howler, it was a great free kick

Yup. I didn't blame him at all for it. I do think he might have got something on it, but I don't think he was ever going to save it

[Perennial Lurker]

Our front five are all contributing and scoring goals and we have Saka , Simms and Rapha as back up . Things are looking good

 

[David O'Day]

Oh don’t get me wrong - I’m delighted. We needed a new goalkeeper. Just I’d wanted one that was significantly better than what we had

and we do, he can make saves that Wilson or Collins don't have a hope of making.

He needs to work on his concentration but that is easily fixable.

He is , give him some time to settle.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Not a bad day to be a Sky Blues fan.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Insanity. Reminded me loads of Brazil v Germany in 2014, they were poor, we were ruthless and donated a goal at the end.

Terrific day, buzzing

That was 5-0 at halftime as well and ended 7-1 also.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Concentration is an integral skill in a goalkeeper. It doesn’t matter today. Nor did it in hindsight against Derby.

He’s played 4 games for us, and cocked up in 3. I really hope it’s out of his system when we don’t play shite teams

 

[Shannerz]

Hah, we scored loads more goals than them.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Rushworth could have thrown it in his own net for all I care. Nothings putting a dampener on today

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

I know we're only 3 games in, but two players as joint highest scorer in the Championship with 3, and two players second-highest with 2. And one player joint top assist maker with 3, and one joint second highest with 2.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Oh he's clearly better. A more accurate comment is he's got a lack of concentration clanger in him which is worrying

Probably a symptom of having very little to do all afternoon

 

[Winny the Bish]

What a fucking day. Not sure football has ever made me this happy in my life.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

This goal is pure art from Torp

 

[shmmeee]

Take it back buy the stadium every week.

 

[Chris1987]

Wet dream for you. BTA having a stormer.

He has been quality today although we both agree that he's not a starter although under the Lampard coaching ?

 

[Briles]

QPR fan just asked who scored our try

 

[CovveeBreak]

Still worried about goalscorers and having a slow start tbf

Yes it is but it's easily fixable.

 

[Tommo1993]

Shame about the not getting a clean sheet yeah, but I’d stop flapping about Rushworth’s quick lapse of concentration before making yourself look more stupid

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Still worried about goalscorers and having a slow start tbf

And strikers not fitting into our system .....

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

 

[Briles]

I'm worried we might use up all our goals too early. Need to spread them out ffs

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We must strive to better ourselves in all areas. Frank will be secretly fucked off at conceding and rightly so

He won’t give a shit

 

[fernandopartridge]

We've looked far more dangerous with the more direct and unpredictable BTA than Sakamoto the last two games

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

It must be a nightmare for opposing managers. How do you stop our attack when it's this fluid? So many threats from so many areas. Wright, EMC, BTA, Rudoni, Torp, all are capable of scoring from fast, one-touch play, and then you have Big Bobby Thomas who can nod them in from set-pieces. I'm starting to think we're actually pretty good.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

What a day ,in 2018 I arrived in Seoul in Jan, BA left my luggage in London and it was minus 11 and we lost to Exeter or someone away 1-0. Magical days like this ease all that pain. What a fucking glorious day.

 

[shmmeee]

Absolutely rampant in attack. Onto every loose ball in packs. Best I’ve seen us for a long time. Lots of variety in our goals as well. Torp really maturing into a special player this season.

He offers something

Well said. The intensity first half was something I cant remember us ever doing. They seem really up for it this year
