Match Thread Coventry City vs. Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan (2 Viewers)

Great performance today. Should have won and we should all take the positives of how far we have come under Robins. O’hare miss massive shame for the lad but blues gave little trouble today IMO.

Still in the hat....

Good day today.

First half showed the difference between the two sides. But once what many of us see as a stronger side were on the game changed.

Yes another replay, but we are now 4 points off the top with 2 games in hand. We are a point and 3 games ahead of Peterborough in 5th and 2 points and a game in hand over Sunderland in 6th. That second half has shown we are a decent side if we can keep players fit.

When is the replay likely to be? Back in UK in 2 weeks.

Yep agreed only one team deserved to win that.

Walsh is a level above league 1... Contract expires in June... Here's hoping we can try and do something with Bristol

Would expect a week on Tues/Weds

The worst part of today was how rammed it was

Edit, and the miss

He would an immense signing, think we’d need to go up to get him though.

Birmingham are the old us. Mediocre seasons until they inevitably fall through the trap door to League One

Usually in a week and a half

I really want to go to the new spurs stadium, would love to get that draw in the next round and hopefully pull it out the bag in the replay

wont be a problem at the replay unless we draw big team at home in round 5 and you need a 4th round ticket

we could lose any player in this team as none of them are as important as Robins !. some will only realise that when he's not here any more

I'd say the replay might be televised but they'll show Newcastle Oxford and Spurs Southampton in case you don't get to see the same teams on telly all of the time

Possession 57/43 to us, and fouls 3/16 (Dirty Brummies!)

ccfcway said:

don't agree at all.

Being spanked 0-4 would have been woeful. Fans would not have returned, moral would have been down and talk would have been "this is what would happen to us if we get promote".

If every player and fan isn't bouncing at the moment knowing we can (and did) compete with a championship side on their own turf, then something is wrong. Personally I think this is a huge boost for Tuesday.

I don't disagree to be honest. It's more the extra game we don't need.

We didn't get shown even when in the 5th round as an L2 side, no chance this will be

Awful game really. Barely a shot on target all afternoon from either side. We shaded it though, gutted with the late miss and could do without the replay.

That's a shame he offered nothing today

Is an aerial threat with decent delivery.

Dont even think he supports the club. Hes just an idiot who likes to abuse fans and hide behind his keyboard

Knocking on a 1000 games for city but you crack on with your st Andrew's love love in you fruit cake

chiefdave said:

Yep that will be one but would have thought we would be ahead of Oxford v Newcastle or Cardiff v Reading to be the other televised game.

Don’t forget Shrewsbury Liverpool

Nick i think this idiot needs a ban. Hes just a wum

Nick nick. Grow up you fucking idiot

Grendel said:

It won’t be the same no because he’s a much better overall player and he should have started - he has a great turn and movement snd a very low centre of gravity which gets a lot of fouls and pulls players away

The game changed mostly due to his addition

How come you didn’t mention Baka’s contribution?

The O'Hare miss. Sorry not a very good capture.
That's Bakayoko to the left not believing O'Hare missed.

I hate it on video mate 5th row back I can’t believe he’s missed 100% the worst I’ve ever seen live

Agreed also felt all subs were brilliant even Baka with that cross header to O’Hare

Walked to the car with O’Hare mum dad & sister who pulled me up for slagging him white watching his miss on my phone lol he done his ankle probably why he didn’t start no doubt he changed the game with max when they came on

Just realised - yet another clean sheet, which is encouraging.

You’ll be able to take the rubber sheets off if you keep this up mate. Well done.

Disagree. It wasn't a good spectacle, but not too critical of us, we were the better side, and it wasn't ugly, just a lack of opportunities. Atmosphere was flat at times also.
