Reckon he’s brave enough to give Wright 45 minutes at least?

I think he'll start, he was a handful despite looking like he had no idea where the end of his legs were (see Vic's Bambi on ice comparisons). Also, what a save (I think live) for the shot that hit the bar. He is a player.

Front 3 of Godden, Simms and Wright looks terrifying.................... 1 donkey, 1 sprinter and 1 poser. Dug Out.

Mate, when you were 15 maybe, did it occur to you that, when shooting with your weaker foot, you were likely to whack it at the goalie, at around his height of diving. The first thing you adapt is either 'toe poke' it to other corner or feign and get it on your best foot. The guys in his mid twenties mate.

Or pummel it into the bottom corner, near or far. As a rule you aim away from the ugly c**t trying to stop you from scoring.

@hill83 has. Bet he still remembers my dicanio goal

Pushing the official over is not counted as a goal in today's game I'm afraid #gamesgone

5 city fans arrested

Serious question - how does one make a helicopter gesture?

What a twat. Name and shame him if you know him

If a guy’s got arrested for doing that then it’s completely ridiculous.

All I'm saying is

 

[Evo1883]

Can I just say if this went in it would have been one of the best cov team goals for a long time

[Offhegoes]

Still so pissed off we lost this, even a draw would have felt a bit disappointing.

Hopefully bounce back vs Middlesbrough at the weekend.

Yep, pissed off, but we bossed that game, and and all the new signings looked good.
Think Boro will be in for a tough afternoon next Saturday.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Those saying we need amother midfielder in the Gus mould i agree. Just one caveat though


Where the fuck does the money come from for that? There's not enough left in the kitty for that kind of quality.

What have we got? Maybe £4m? I’d pick up a couple of younger players abroad or lower league for £1-2m. Then when we sell O’Hare next year for £10m get a proper replacement in if they haven’t come off.

Surely a couple of Spanish lads that need a solid move

 

[mrfr]

Yes. Do it.

I owe you a pint.

There’d be enough for the type of fee we paid for Hamer in the first place.

 

[robbiethemole]

All very balanced in here tonight...........................unlike the Sunderland board, as usual blaming everyone but themselves hahahahhahaha

 

[Great_Expectations]

Obviously disappointing to lose, but plenty of positives to take from that.

We looked good and our counter attacking style is still promising even without Vik, while we also played football more. If we have the ability to do both this year it’s a big big positive.

It is game one with several new players plus seemingly a few not up to speed yet - fitness or tactics wise.

Excited for things to click together and to see how exciting we’ll be.

 

[Greggs]

Encouraging signs though

thought Eccles was good today but we need to get some minutes into MVE

Bobby and Joel were very good

shame we spent 2 million on a defense that played well, yet 15 millioon on 2 shit forwards......

 

[Blind-Faith]

If we can pick Hamer up for £1.2m or what ever it was, even with inflation you’d like to think we could get someone in again, for around £3m

Trouble being, we won’t have heard of him and we might not get lucky again

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Wright only played 20 odd minutes, bit harsh!!

 

[Peter Billing Eyes]

People getting hot under the collar about narrowly losing to a team who have maintained a lot of their prem players and are favourite for promotion. We can afford to give teams a five game head start, we’ll sort it, we have amazing coaching staff, cracking fans, plus a stadium and a pitch from the get-go this season.

If the match today was at the CBS, we would have walloped them.

Just watched the game as was in an airport when the match was being played.
Not sure with subs today. We make 3 and we concede 2 goals. Not sure they were the right players to change but it's difficult for management but Godden should have been taken off for Weight.

Could've took either off , even both , but Godden was linking better and getting in decent areas . Pity he made such a bollocks of those chances
Gus was struggling and Eccles had ran himself into the ground playing their best player off the park

Leicester fan living in the Cov area. Only jumped on here as had some Cov mates showing me some posts on this forum after I’ve got back from the game. I personally thought a draw would’ve been a fair result. We had the first half but you did have a 15/20 minute spell after you scored when you could have put the game to bed. Defensively I thought you set up very well and were only undone by two very good goals. Great ball in and a great header. Might be a little justified criticism on the second for not getting tight enough in the box in regard to allowing a few short passes but it was a cracking finish nevertheless. I can see you being there and thereabouts come the end of the season along with a few others. Having some very good friends who are Cov fans I genuinely hope you are up there come the end of season. (Obviously not quite as well as hopefully we do!) But after all the shit you’ve been through with SISU and the Wasps and having to play at different grounds, hopefully your lucks on the turn! Anyway! Love in over and as you all well know the Championship is a marathon not a sprint!!!

Very fair post
You've retained a lot of decent players and with Dewsbury-Hall have one of the best in the division. For me you need to keep Iniacho(sp) and defensively you need some pace but you've recruited well , hopefully we both get automatically promoted question is whether you'll be happy with runner ups

I’ll take runners up now!! Season over. Let’s all go down the pub!!!

Loss was harsh on us. Would’ve taken a draw before the match, but considering how we played and the number of missed gilt-edged chances, I’m gutted to lose that. Palmer had 1 in the first half, Simms had 1 in the second and Godden could’ve scored a couple. When you don’t put those away, doesn’t matter if it’s against a top team or any team you just leave the door open for the opposition. In the end we ran out of gas and poor substitutions cost us. We need to beat Boro next week, get back on track and keep pace.

 

[slowpoke]

Night to reflect, not down cast at all no one likes to lose especially with the chances we created. Going to take nine or ten games for us to gel properly and I suspect our first choice eleven could be a bit different to yesterdays.
Defence sound and largely safe, strikers although missing excellent chances at least got into those dangerous positions to miss I’m confident they we progress in that department.
Midfield for me is the area that needs to be a lot better than it was yesterday, individually okay but collectively not good enough, it’s the engine room and with or without Hamer imo needs working on, not sure if the answer is within the club.
