Want a signing , great finish

Either you're focusing on wanting a signing or commenting on the finish - make your mind up

He should have put it beyond any doubt. He was a matter of yards out.

According to xG Simms chance was xG 0.02, i.e. you'd be expected score only once in 50 attempts.

The fact you didn’t answer either of my questions says a lot

 

[TomRad85]

Think we miss the urgency of BTAs play honestly but we're winning so can't complain too much. Think Woolf has looked decent in Thomas' absence which is good.

 

[Shannerz]

That was a very tough watch. Until the goal, I was going to say that it was summed up by EMC smacking a goal bound shot straight at Rudoni.

Still, ahead. It needs a significant improvement in the second half, though.

The xG has had an absolute howler if that's what its saying tbh.

How can a header from 5 yards be 0.02 XG? I've backed Simms recently but it was a 50p header and he should have scored it. I don't really think anything else needs to be said.

 

[baldy]

Fed up of every co-commentator trotting out the 'Cov usually blow teams away by 3/4 goals' - we haven't done that for a while
Lazy soundbites

How dare you argue conjecture with facts!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Rudoni really isn’t the same level as last season.

 

[Evo1883]

We dont need to argue about a miss , opinions .. but that half overall was pretty average by our standards , we do miss JDS for the way we play ..EMC tremendous finish just a top player

I'd like to see Brau tried.

Ronald looks pretty crap for Swansea so I think he could cope with him.

Sheaf's left so you need a new "boo" boy to continue your 50p Grendal tribute act?

sound mate

Flat half but we're winning so who cares. It's BTA I'm really looking forward to seeing again.

XG is not facts. It is driven by questionable data models, which aren't watching the game, a bit like you.

You should spend more time pretending to be a woman.

how? xG isn't subjective, it's a historical record of goals scored

Im fairness , id like to see the replay anyway .. from block 16 it looked a fairly straight forward chance .. not an issue either way

I suggested that he played instead of Wright you absolute fucking moron.

He missed an easy chance. Many of you can't see it. Has nothing to do with what I think of the player.

 

[AOM]

Don't think Swansea have been too bad. Moved it about nicely although luckily toothless up front. Them having to go for an equaliser should hopefully work in our favour second half

 

[shmmeee]

Get the 2nd goal kill the game and make it boring

Its already boring?

 

[Evo1883]

Drives me mad the amount of banana feet

 

[TomRad85]

now? xG isn't subjective, it's a historical record of goals scored

It usually gets corrected at the end of a game does it not? So I doubt its accurate atm.

 

[David O'Day]

just watched a reply, worldie of a save

we've stood off them far too much

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Rudoni really isn’t the same level as last season.

That's true AFC but seeing glimpses in this game that he's getting back on it. Just needs time to be back at his very best.

 

[Evo1883]

I agree but maybe an instruction as they pass the ball well and he was worried we would tire , i expect us to press better after the hour

 

[covboy9]

More boring

I hear ya pal, was just a routine save from their goalkeeper…

not as annoying the the gimp
In the background shouting rubbish

Problem is when we know a player can be so good but off it doesn’t help. I wonder if this so called shoulder injury is hampering him still.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Anyone criticising Simms for that header needs to give their head a wobble. Morons.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Perfectly good first half. Could be 2-3 up. Rushworth very decisive - seems to get better every game. Just got to carry on getting it wide to Saka and EMC second half

 

[covboy9]

Want us to play like this vs Ipswich who are hopeless with the ball

They’ve been pretty ponderous in possession and slow coming forwards but their defence looks very good and composed. But hopefully you are right!
