Match Thread Blackburn Rovers - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Jan

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

We have to keep playing the 5 at the back. The defence isn't good enough as a 4, but with the 3 centre backs it's made a huge difference. Not sure if that's due to Thomas being dropped but 3 wins on the bounce, we have finally started to win some games.

Dovin is a fucking class act.

There's still issues with the defence for sure. We looked far too open at times in that game and a better side probably would've punished us.

Both sides were missing their biggest threats and conditions were also challenging. The difference between the sides quite possibly was the goalkeepers tonight.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

I know we haven’t been great this season,but where would we be if we hadn’t of had that clown Collins in goal.
I don’t blame Lampard,it’s all down to fu***** Carr. He bought him in,and Lampard just trusted him to much and went with it for to long.
Could cry about the points the useless pair have cost us.

I think it's the midfield three in front of them . None of Allen , Torp or Rudoni are natural holding players . They have all performed admirably of late but we are very open . Eccles to start at the weekend ?

 

[fatso]

Torp has come on loads under Frank, his shirt to lose now. Seems to have found some aggression and bite now

He's definitely improved, he's got the shirt on merit.

I watched on a stream, think it was Blackburn comms

Who was co commentary? Closet cov fan right there. Called us sky blues, knew eccles been at the club 7 yrs old,said it was a disgrace var dodgy decision knocked us out the cup and was banging on about gyokeres leaving sporting!

 

[SBT]

Credit to Joe Edwards and Chris Jones too

Having loads of coaches - it’s officially good again!

 

[Perennial Lurker]

He always had the ability just lacked the aggression and drive you need to perform in the Championship

 

[Macca]

The ref?

Apparently we are playing ugly football. I must have missed the Barca stuff before Frank this season

Was David Phillips

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Big shout out for Allen - he receives the ball and plays with a cool head - some others as well but Jamie was very good especially when we needed it

 

[ccfcchris]

Once Ellis scored I thought the team grew massively in confidence and never really looked like losing after BTA scored.

The bloke deserves more respect. Collins may well never play for City again but the fans need to support the players.

 

[Major Tom]

It’s the iPads that won it

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Just read that Watford lost their best forward Baah to injury, plus his replacement Ebosele too! The football gods are starting to smile on us!!

I’d keep it as it is, no coincidence, Eccles been on the bench and 2 wins, midfield isn’t great still but it’s working

David Phillips, played for us

Talking of Barca 3-1 and 4-2 down at Benfica , won 5-4.

 

[The CableGuy]

Watched that tonight thinking 'we ain't conceding goals tonight'. It was that good.

 

[covcity4life]

Was David Phillips

Oh right. I thought ppl said he was bitter about cov because sons career didn't work out here?

Glad that's not the case

 

[Nick]

Now somebody crying over robins

 

[shepardo01]

That was the Sky TV coverage.

Mentioned that he lives near Coventry in the first couple of minutes.

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

Kitching and Lati plus one other if we keep playing a back three

All I want is us to do well, I want Binks to be a a fucking top top player, same for for the whole squad. We criticise when criticism is due but we also must praise when they show us just how good they are.

I'm convinced now, Dovin is our best player.
Not seen someone with this much natural talent since Hedman.

 

[Major Tom]

Must be mates with the loon calling out the Trump inauguration

 

[theferret]

May have been mentioned already, but I make that the first midweek away league win in 3 years? Could be wrong ..

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Now somebody crying over robins

We all loved Robins but he's gone now we have Lamps, he needs to move on lol

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

There's still issues with the defence for sure. We looked far too open at times in that game and a better side probably would've punished us.

You're right, our centre backs aren't good enough, we must play 3 every game. Kitching is really proving me wrong though, he is our best centre back in my opinion.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

The bloke deserves more respect. Collins may well never play for City again but the fans need to support the players.

You have to earn respect,Collins has never done anything to warrant respect either from his performance or attitude.
Sooner the t*** is gone the better. And in 65 years I don’t think I have ever said that about a city player.

 

[Ricketts]

Attendance 12,800. My apologies I thought it was a league match not league cup round one.

 

[Nick]

Cwr and Clive don't help, why's he going on about the fucking playoffs

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Mentioned that he lives near Coventry in the first couple of minutes.

He is in Morrisons in Binley
