he's better than that Lesta fuckwit too, I wonder where he's hiding since they fucked up????Nowt wrong with him, and at least he comes on here after losing instead of that suspicious Ipswich chap.
I'm not being argumentative for the sake of it, I just really don't recall there being these great chances you speak of. Even the one they got was a bit flukey as it just slapped off Latis face right into the Boro player.
Yeah I have to admit I didn't think they created much of note.
Whittaker had two half decent header opportunities but one was well blocked by Dasilva (would've probably caused Rushworth problems if he hadn't) and the other was when he was completely unmarked in the box and headed over the bar.
The shot by Sarmiento was a serious effort as that had beaten Rushworth the moment it left his boot.
Their other attempts were either straight at Rushworth or pathetic efforts from outside the box.
You need to stop making excuses for why you lost using everything apart from we were just better than you.No, that's the meaning you're choosing to take from it, there's a difference.
Did you play the long ball game last night to bypass the midfield where possible? Yes. Did you utilise the height of some of your players against ours and their physicality? Yes. To deny either would be ridiculous.
It's not your style from earlier in the season, but it's a style you did indeed adopt to win the game, which it did. You may choose to continue with this style to complement your press, depending on the opponent, which is up to Lampard really. If you gain more points from it in the remaining games then you'd be insane not to. I don't see the problem.
You need to enjoy the win more, rather than develop a whole chip on the shoulder and an "Everyone is out to get us and I'll choose to take every comment as a personal insult if I can find a way to interpret it that way" mentality.
That's NOT a Coventry thing, just in case you were thinking, we have a few with that mentality on our board too. Try not to be like them as it's tiring debating with someone who makes you feel your conversation has to walk on eggshells the whole time.
Leeds last season were superior to both of us this season for a start.Just watched the extended highlights and this is pretty much spot on. Even the one Whittaker headed over the bar Rushworth had it covered. Its quite funny seeing some of the boro fans saying they could have easily had 2 or 3 goals last night. We limited them to next to nothing.
This idea that all we had to offer was the long ball is complete bollox. Sour grapes because they all expected to come down and us roll over. Dont get me wrong our fans have been guilty of getting ahead of themselves but the noise from this lot like their the best team the championship has ever seen. Hopefully this is the start of their down fall.
Whittaker had a header right after the start of the 2nd half that he should have buried. If Haji missed that we would be saying he missed a ‘sitter’Sorry you are making it up.
At the same time, we won the ball multiple times close to their box and squandered the opportunities. Throw in EMC going clean through then deciding to cut inside at the wrong moment.Whittaker had a header right after the start of the 2nd half that he should have buried. If Haji missed that we would be saying he missed a ‘sitter’
78th minute, Ayling shot straight at rushworth where it was easier to score. Another where if it was Haji, we’d be saying it was a sitter.
McGree 85th minute, good chance, not a sitter
88th minute, Sene, absolute sitter missed 2yds from goal, although It would have been offside.
so, 3 good chances to score, all of which we would have labelled as sitters if it was our strikers missed them.
@fernandopartridge you should take more water with it mate

Yeah, his reading of the game and technical ability to allow Wright in for the second was top class! You wont see better technical ability at this levelBoro fans love him:
Would take a heck of a header to beat Rushworth from there.Whittaker had a header right after the start of the 2nd half that he should have buried. If Haji missed that we would be saying he missed a ‘sitter’

Not Ayling, Strelec shot. Was a poor shot after cutting in but not even close to a sitter.

McGrees good chance... ball under his feet with little room to manoeuvre and hits a tame shot.

Sene not worth mentioning as offside.
Seems to me you have taken every half chance as a 'should score' moment for some reason. Whittakers is probably the best but would still have to be some header.
At the same time, we won the ball multiple times close to their box and squandered the opportunities. Throw in EMC going clean through then deciding to cut inside at the wrong moment.
For all this talk of long ball stuff, we should have scored a few from just pressing high up the pitch.
Well i would also add hitting the post although it was a shot from nothing. We had a great chance but McGree put hardly any power on it and straight at the keeper and also Sene the ball was at his foot about 1 yard out and he decided to well do nothing.Which great chances were these? You got into some promising positions but the only great chance you had was your goal.
I was right behind Sarmiento’s effort and thought it was in all the way. Thankfully it’s one where we get the rub of the green and it comes back out.Yeah, wright hit the post, Mason Clark had a couple of half chances first half where he could’ve done better and Rudoni with blocked shot.
I did think Boro deserved a second, fine margins in football though. I also felt we created as many good situations v Oxford and didn’t get a goal, yet three last night.
The one from Haji is a far better chance i would have thought...Looking back at the highlights all he really needed to do was keep it down and direct it and it would've certainly caused Rushworth some problems. He had the space and time to do so.
The header even if he hit the target it would have been saved as Rushworth had it covered, an offside, an ok chance and a shot in th 78th minute that actually wasn't that good a chance?Whittaker had a header right after the start of the 2nd half that he should have buried. If Haji missed that we would be saying he missed a ‘sitter’

I'm just not having them as 'should score' moments at all. It's nonsense, they are just normal half chances you get in every game.Im all for this level of pettiness to go and get receipts
You’re spot on btw.
If you count all those you count the 2 chances EMC should have done better with, the one Rudoni got blocked in the first few minutes and any that cross JDS put in that Sakamoto couldnt get to.I'm just not having them as 'should score' moments at all. It's nonsense, they are just normal half chances you get in every game.
They fact they have to count a time a player was well off shows how much it is bullshitI'm just not having them as 'should score' moments at all. It's nonsense, they are just normal half chances you get in every game.
Well yes its assuming every Championship player has the finishing of peak Batistuta on performance enhancing drugs.If you count all those you count the 2 chances EMC should have done better with, the one Rudoni got blocked in the first few minutes and any that cross JDS put in that Sakamoto couldnt get to.
I've re read my last post as requested. I suggest you do the same as to give you at least one bit of credit I did indeed say we had the best midfield in the league, which I stand by tbh.Please re read your last post. To summarise you implied we beat you because of hoodoo. You have the best defence and midfield in the league and no strikers….Fair play for being complementary about our goal keeper though
For the so called best championship team there’s ever been you looked bang average last night. You move the ball around nice though, I’ll give you that.
starting to sound like that boring Lesta twat now pal, let it go we've played you twice and beaten you twice, all this is just copium.As you say midfield is our strongest area, it dominates the league so Lampard did well to employ a succession of long punts from your half to a big lad, bypassing it.
We're actually very decent in defence too, but I feel it was was the wrong game to play Ayling in. He's 34 and has played every game this season so could do with a rest and Fry should have came in as he's bigger and better at dealing with long balls, barging and physicality which is a key part of your game so we'd have done well to include him.
Strikers...yeah, we could have done with getting an out and out poacher tbh. We don't tend to set up with strikers as our main goal threat so will feel it less than most, but it would have been ideal to bring one on in a game like tonight.
In terms of keepers, Bryn is ok, but he's not on Rushworth's level.
Hellball has been a revelation for us mind you. It's just you're never going to see it in any real full effect against yourselves for the same reason that you could play mediocre to good 5 times previously and have 1 absolutely awesome game against us..because Hoodoo. It therefore follows that our performance levels will drop, again because Hoodoo.
Against other decent sides such as the Blades obviously no Hoodoo exists so we were able to dominate to do the double over them no matter how well they played, which they did at theirs to give them credit. Against Ipswich whikst not guaranteed, we're also 3 or 4 times more likely to do the double over them than we were to get a single point off you. The reverse being true obviously for yourselves.
It remains that we've accumulated more points in the league than any other side since Hellberg rocked up, so it's doing him an injustice to claim that his methods aren't decent. A side with merely a good midfield and nothing else going for it including poor tactics racking up those kind of returns would be impossible and would render the entire league crap by comparison if that were the case. including yourselves. Which as both you and a clutch of other sides clearly aren't crap kind of refuses that theory.
Our PPG since he arrived and including tonight's result AND our christmas slump, expanded to a whole season would see us rack up 95 points plus. We may not get that high, but considering that, our manager's methods are certainly not slacking. And we only have 1 of our 4 Hoodoo games left to play. Other than that of course we expect to win most games.
hes harmless, just find it a bit odd is all. Of course hes going to get on peoples goat
Dont really care. The games done and hes dissecting it on here. He can go and do that on his forum. We've played them twice, beat them both times and now dont play them again.Not sure how. If they'd won and he came on here to gloat then fair enough, but he isn't. Seems quite a balanced supporter on the whole, who, of course, will skew things to the advantage of his team, which most fans would do, although a few on here wouldn't.

The one from Haji is a far better chance i would have thought...

The cross from Sakamoto is whipped towards the goal so all Haji has to do is direct it on target, Whittakers chance asks more of the player, not to mention him being a player i don't really associate with headers, although i could be wrong.
Amazing. I hadn’t included this one as they hit the post as well. You also included one that I didn’t mention.The one from Haji is a far better chance i would have thought...

it's nuts that you are claiming them as great chances, the Strelec one, how is that a "great chance" or a "sitter"?Amazing. I hadn’t included this one as they hit the post as well. You also included one that I didn’t mention.
if Haji had missed the 3 chances I mentioned, you would be berating him for missing sitters.
it was a great win, and a great night at the CBS, and I’m glad they didn't take their chances, but to claim they didn’t have those great chances is nuts.
I never mentioned that one, Tom didit's nuts that you are claiming them as great chances, the Strelec one, how is that a "great chance" or a "sitter"?
stop overthinking it, it will do your head in. It don't matter today we won, they lost just accept it at face value, don't be one of those who critcise every win.Amazing. I hadn’t included this one as they hit the post as well. You also included one that I didn’t mention.
