Match Thread Blackburn Rovers - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 17th Apr

[Finham]

He hasn’t looked much of a tank tonight or the last few games.

One of those shit French ones from 1940 without rotating turrets?

 

[fernandopartridge]

You say that but hes been the least of our problems first half and done some ok stuff when he finally gets the ball. The problems been most of what’s behind him. MvE and Grimes only ones playing to usual standard

He's completely anonymous, when does he ever come towards goal to offer an option for a midfielder?

 

[wingy]

Anyway score towards our end, honestly!

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

To be fair to him, I don't think he's had a bad game. He's slipped twice and once robbed of the ball when it should have been a foul.

Some of the other stuff he has done has been decent

Oh, I agree. I think he's dropped off maybe 10%, but he's still class.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Don’t even think that. They just look a bit panicked. Constantly playing safe and worrying in possession imo

Yep tense far too tense
They realy are a poor side

 

[Nick]

When he turned the defender and put a good cross in.

 

[mark82]

The boys are shattered

Blackburn played midweek. Come on, that's no excuse.

 

[Grendel]

Well, it's been a great season. That's no good...there must be someone to hate...who to hate, who to hate....ah, Ellis, step into my office!

I don’t hate him I just think he’s disappointed given his strength and potential

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Same line-up

 

[Grendel]

When he turned the defender and put a good cross in.

Great get the firecrackers and weenies out - Ellis used his attributes once

 

[RoysterE17]

The stands are empty! Should of put they're fans in 2 stands and give us the other 2 im sure we would of sold it out!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Lati touched the ball once and made a simple pass behind his man, this is a real issue when you're trying to build any sort of momentum

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Great get the firecrackers and weenies out - Ellis used his attributes once

your hatred for his is very odd.

and who calls them weenies WTF

 

[wingy]

Conviction required, I actually wanted a change of formation but not this TBF,more across the front than anything!

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Disagree, Torp would show for the ball and pass it to our players which when we’re dominating possession is more important than disrupting play for me.

Torp is too slow for me. It's a shame, because he's got some ability, but obviously that's not something that can be coached.

 

[hotrod]

Blackburn played midweek. Come on, that's no excuse.

If they are shattered the coaching staff need sacking.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Then a great ball behind!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Comical from Simms

 

[Nick]

Jds getting terrorised by a Harry potter spell

 

[fernandopartridge]

Simms as usual unable to set himself before a cross

 

[mark82]

Better. Never gonna get away with the overhead kick there though.

 

[Briles]

We miss sakamoto

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

As much as I love a bicycle kick goal, it’s such a stupid things to do these days. Defenders just throw themselves into the foot and get a free kick

 

[wingy]

Great get the firecrackers and weenies out - Ellis used his attributes once

Eat your words mate!

We’re playing with two semi tens, I’d imagine hes been told to stay furthest forward as focal point. Im not saying he’s having a great game, im saying due to set up and other performances hes not really had a sniff

 

[covboy9]

The Ellis Simms appreciation society is all very nice but he’s just never really managed to improve his movement and take out defenders.

I hoped he may get a couple of goals between now and the end of the season to get his value up but like last season he’s going backwards

We all like him and want to do well but he’s just not at this level let alone premier level

 

[fernandopartridge]

When he does he's not ready

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We all like him and want to do well but he’s just not at this level let alone premier level

he’s got 10 goals this year

 

[Grendel]

your hatred for his is very odd.

and who calls them weenies WTF

Your wumming is boring

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Your wumming is boring

yet you reply again

 

[jordan210]

Can see why Frank was annoyed the guy chopped his neck

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Massively over complicating it when we get in attacking positions

 

[jordan210]

How’s that not a booking

 

[Moff]

Are we not allowed to cross the ball tonight?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Pathetic. All from our own set piece
