    Match Thread Shef Utd - Coventry City Match Thread Wednesday 25th Feb 19.45 KO

    That's a dream result, and I really didn't expect it. Why do my nerves get so much worse when we are in front?

    Match Thread Shef Utd - Coventry City Match Thread Wednesday 25th Feb 19.45 KO

    The rave reviews for the first two games were way over the top anyway IMO. Of course he's a useful player but you'd have thought people were talking about Patrick Vieira.

    Chest control and EMC

    Not a City player, but the best exponent of the art was Stuart Pearson in the mid to late 70s for Man Utd. He passed the ball with ease using his chest.

    Tactically - Lampard is pretty good

    We squandered a lot of potential points in the weeks before that, being way too open when we didn't need to be.

    Tactically - Lampard is pretty good

    Anyone else think it wasn't necessary to wait for the recruitment of Onyeka before tweaking the tactics? IMO Eccles would be capable of providing similar support for Grimes, and if Onyeka becomes unavailable that's exactly what I'd do. Quite strange to me that Lampard only ever seems to want to...

    Joel Latibeaudiere

    Another pointless stat for those of us with eyes and a lifetime of experience.

    I imagine your careers adviser thought calligraphy was your true calling.

    Boro

    Apropos of nothing, I think Hayden Hackney facially resembles Chris Waddle 🤷‍

    Re-watched the game on ITVX. One key takeaway is that Bobby Thomas can (hands-free) evacuate both nostrils in a fine atomiser mist, a bit like Eau de Parfum.

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    He'd look quite strange if he did.

    Favourite ever goal…

    Don't think anyone's mentioned Gynn's equaliser in the 1987 semi? Not a stylish goal, but the explosion of sound in that end must have registered on seismographs all over the planet.

    Dirtiest Coventry City Team

    Allardyce was disgraceful at times.

    Our Two Strikers

    It's a view that's sometimes been ridiculed on here, and I know it conflicts with what Frank thinks too, but I've always thought Wright looks much better playing wide left. In the absence of EMC that's where I'd play him, leaving room for Simms to play down the middle. We need both to deliver...

    What was the sliding doors moment of the season

    He's a much more cultured player though, and would surely have improved our control of games.

    Tattoo

    Struggling to work out which bit of your body that is. Does it expand and contract according to the match score?

    Surely depends on what browser you're using though? In chrome (on my android phone) I have to press the 3 dots at top right in order to reveal that refresh button. Or, as has already been said, swipe down from the top of the screen.

    He looked like an outstanding buy at the price when he was available, and I was disappointed we didn't seem to pursue it. Strength and (at least at this level) technically better than most centre forwards.
