This has been stuck in my head all day so getting it out. When we get “Where were you when you were shit?” To the tune of On Top Of Old Smokey:

We were in Northampton
And we were in Brum
And when City weren’t playing, we were in your mum.

Do with that what you will

We just have a formidable front-loaded team of players who have the quality to score goals. We’re going to score goals even when we don’t play that well.

Thats without even talking about a goalkeeper (who some on here written off instantly) making game changing saves when it matters!

BTA in particular, since getting regular minutes has shown that a bit of confidence helps a player to show qualities we haven’t seen before.

Easy to say when you've won but thought the officials were on top of their game today. About time!

Wright understandably looked like he was in a different time zone. Simms another very good substitute performance.

He actually won a few headers, his coaching must be working

Rightly was criticized the last time we had him but for balance was on top of his game today.

Well that was a case of no bells and whistles but just getting the job done. Finding a way to win-a very good habit.

We found a way against a decent side I thought who pressed very well. We got it done though that’s all that matters. Next.

As others have said ‘we got the job done’. Not the best performance; v disjointed first half, front 4 didn’t work as too much space between front players and midfield, passes loose etc. but this is a team that roll its sleeves up and works as a team and together they did what was needed. I bet Lampard as impressed with the result as any this season.

'It was delightful to watch'published at 17:46 BST

FT: Coventry 2-0 Blackburn

Ben Mundy
BBC Final Score reporter at CBS Arena

It took the best part of an hour before Frank Lampard’s Coventry burned off the international break blues.

In fact, the first half against Blackburn Rovers was close. Very close. One of the Rovers’ staff joking with me over a half-time coffee that, “Coventry were holding on”.

It wasn’t quite that. But the hosts took a while to get going.

And yet, once Victor Torp and Brandon Thomas-Asante had fired them into a 2-0 lead, there was no letting up. No shutting up shop. No sitting back and soaking up.

It was delightful to watch – as Coventry continued to push and probe. And, a clear indication as to how the Sky Blues have managed to bag 14 goals in their last four games.

That tactic, on top of five consecutive clean sheets, means the rest of the Championship should have real Coventry concerns.

I thought that too, actually timed his leaps properly rather than jumping 17 seconds too early like normal

Looking a much more complete side now, yes a keeper who's making saves, claiming or punching crosses, don't fk about with the distribution. Thomas and Kitch look far more efficient with Grimes to almost marshal them, can't believe how much ground the skipper covers. Had a bit of luck in a lot of games but those clean sheets are incredible.

Yes BTA. Never put my thoughts on paper as they would have been laughed at now, but he's really turned a corner for me. Finally seems to have found his mojo and putting his energy to good use, majestic shot today. So nice to have people at work talking about the City rather than sneering and taking the pss lol.

Man United monitor exciting youngster at Championship side

The 16-year-old was named on the first team bench for Saturday's game against Blackburn. It comes after he impressed making his first appearance for the club's U21s earlier this season.

Apparently Man United are looking at stealing Shepherd off us....

Sign of a quality team that you can grind out, what turned out to be a pretty comfortable win, when not at your best.

Also telling that a team ups there game against you and goes home with 0 points.

True for the most part. There was one really strange throw-in decision in the first half which was very obviously ours and was given to Blackburn. First half was also a bit scrappy, couple of decisions that could’ve been let go that weren’t and ones that could’ve been pulled up that also weren’t. But second half flowed way more and didn’t really notice the officials then.
