Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 11th Mar

[Macca]

Fair result really. Just relieved we came away with something.

I thought Hull were half decent.

We're not going to make play offs, I don't think anyone really believes that, it too much to ask of this squad with O'Hare, Palmer, Sheaf and Allen out. That we're competing still and picking up points is a real credit to us.

I thought we were decent today. Bit sloppy for a few periods and wasteful in front of goal but given our injury situation ok. Agreed that play offs feel unlikely. Guess we will have a very good idea this time next week

Just realised Godden has scored our last 4 goals v Hull

After their goal, I didn’t notice any of our players go to Howley and give him any encouragement after his mistake. Did I miss it?

 

[CV22SBA]

Free kick everywhere else on the pitch

He dived and should have been booked.

Thought Rose scored one in the August fixture?

Did anyone have a decent view of the handball shout second half ?

I thought it was handball in real time but haven't seen it back his hand didn't look to be in a natural position.

Thought McGuire looked ok when he came on personally along with esbrand

Howleys not an attacking midfielder but needs must.

Thought we looked tired today and some of these injured players need to get back soon as some of the players included gyokeres looked utterly shattered.

Thought we really missed Fadz when subbed, a really odd decision given the way he marshalls the defence and results recently clearly indicate his influence. Robins subs at home recently have been most odd clearly the loanee contracts comply us to play both of them, yet neither really add anything to our team currently

If there’s a financial penalty for not fielding them, take the hit unless you really want them on the pitch for a footballing reason.

 

[Ashdown]

Have I really missed something here, I thought Maguire offered next to fuck all.
Norton Cuffy was better. We knocked the ball around really well at times but why can’t we shoot on the edge of the area ??
How many actual saves did their keeper make ? We can do a lot better ……

Hull were shit simple as that we weren't at the races

Deffo missed fadz after he went off

They've not played since last week tired are you taking the piss?

 

[Alkhen]

Their keeper would be a great signing.

Looked good but not convinced by his kicking. Hoofed it straight through to Wilson 3 times, none of their players anywhere near

 

[Hobo]

Eccles shite 1st half, good 2nd half.
Hamer good 1st half, shite 2nd half.
Gyok shite throughout bar moment of brilliance for goal.
Godden passenger bar scrappy goal.

Robins out

I agree with some of that except Godden ran his socks off and his closing down on them was brilliant.

He stopped them playing in first half from the back. He certainly was not a passenger.

 

[Hobo]

From block 24 it looked like Howley dived for the penalty shout first half. Anyone from that end see it differently?

I think it was a tangle of legs rather than a foul. Plus Howleys first touch was poor and he was going away from goal. The ref let a lot of contact go for both sides.

 

[Hobo]

After their goal, I didn’t notice any of our players go to Howley and give him any encouragement after his mistake. Did I miss it?

Yes you did.

We had plenty of shots in and around the box. We were not shot shy today. They packed the defence and blocked loads.

 

[Greggs]

Just realised Godden has scored our last 4 goals v Hull

so has their bloke, the cheap looking Marlon King one.

 

[olderskyblue]

Yes you did.

Well, I watched from seconds after the goal went in until we kicked off again, and not one player went near him.

 

[CCFC54321]

They've not played since last week tired are you taking the piss?

Wake up. The same 11 have been playing week in week out. Obviously your not considering the physical demands week in week out the same players are having to go through. You really think a few days will make it all ok?

Thought maguire looked sharp myself and the people I was with thought the same.

 

[Hobo]

Why ask "did I miss it" then? McFadz and I think Hamer (?) both spoke to him. But after the restart.

If Hull weren’t that good then that says a lot about how ugly and disjointed we were. If I had to put money on who scored next after they went 1-0 up, I’d have put it on them.

I agree. As I’ve already said my thoughts that I thought we were looking tired. Not surprised with the same players week in week out thanks to a packed treatment room.

 

[Frostie]

I think if Godden hadn’t scored he’d have been on. Maguire linked quite well when he came on to be fair. Howley was dead on his feet second half, he’ll come again though

Walker was being readied to come on at the same time as Burroughs & JWE but, as you say, the Godden goal changed it.

 

[Frostie]

Their keeper would be a great signing.

He's under contract at Newcastle until 2025 on £30k p/w

Good job you didn't then

 

[Tommo1993]

Good job you didn't then

If I put money on more miserable weather tomorrow, we’d all see an outrageously unexpected heatwave.

That's a shame and I wouldn't count it as a mistake. He was unlucky in my view.

Absolutely brilliant play by their player to score though.

By his standards McFadzean had a poor game but we definitely lost something by taking him off.

 

[PVA]

I guess it was a fitness thing with Fadz. Trying to keep him fresh for Tuesday?

 

[slowpoke]

A draw is a fair result - if Mcfazdean is injured it’s not looking good

I thought the McFadz substitution looked a tactical one well I hope it was, gave us an extra body in midfield which Hull were dominating bit risky with the kids at the back but thought it worked.

Did anyone have a decent view of the handball shout second half ?

Ball did hit his hand, ball to hand imo but in these days of var who knows.

 

[slowpoke]

Just realised Godden has scored our last 4 goals v Hull

And the Hull scorer Estupinan scored the last four Hull goals against us, as they say footballs’ a funny old day.
