Still waiting to see what simms can do

Get in. Today was a must win, and a win is what we got.

Ben Sheaf MOTM best player on the pitch by a mile.

Carrick won't last long, Boro were terrible.

Sakamoto basically got us that second goal. So much energy for the 5-10 Minutes after he came on.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Professional performance and you can see all the signs of a lot of positives.

More new players to come in as well.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Said it after last weeks game aswell but Haji is an absolute unit, he’s got it all.

hopefully Wrights form puts the pressure on Simms to kick on and show what he can do

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

I am glad i did not cancel my wembley hotel !! lost my voice

 

[Martin180]

Quality all over the park , quality on the bench , Robins said 3-4 incoming , what a time to be a sky blue

 

[Macca]

Sheaf immense, Godden proving us wrong again. Sloppy at times but a nice win to settle is down. Wright is going to score a few

 

[Ian1779]

More depth? We're inferior at the back, in midfield and have 2 unproven expensive forwards. Give it a rest. The delusion is sickly.

 

[Mr Panda]

Godden with the headlines but Sheaf with the overall performance in the end.

McFadz best in the first half

 

[pusbccfc]

And just think, we've still got millions to spend

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

fcuking brills result !!!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Well done Matty. 1 goals and 2 assists.

Wright couple of 15/20min cameos in 2 league games and a goal. Imagine what will happen once he gets going!

 

[Martin180]

Question - when was the last time we owned every player on the pitch ( including subs ) ?

 

[CCFCSteve]

important win today to suppress the meltdown and feels there’s a lot more to come from this team once the new lads have bedded in. Sheaf and Eccles very good in midfield and Godden lively up top

 

[Martin180]

Godden with the headlines but Sheaf with the overall performance in the end.

McFadz best in the first half

Thought Eccles first half was the stand out , tired second half

Question - when was the last time we owned every player on the pitch ( including subs ) ?

Not today. Binks on the bench.

 

[covmark]

That was a great, much needed win after the shit week we've had. We look like a solid side, and if what Robins says about getting in a few more players is correct, then despite some of the complete bedwetting of the last 24 hours on here. We could have a really good season.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Announce promotion

 

[Martin180]

Not today. Binks on the bench.

He didn’t come on though

 

[Garlana86]

Great result, good performance. So many positives, only negative is, if they had a decent forward line we'd have had a real game on our hands, two easy chances missed by them.

Tats was great when attacking, wright is an absolute beast, jury's still out on Simms and very happy for Godden.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Glad they were so rubbish
Needed more energy up front and simms and palmer going off sorted it

Sakamoto best of the new lot
Back 3 so good on the ball
Great for wright to get off the mark
No way godden gets the third

 

[steve101]

Great result, though I don't think we will face many teams as poor as Middlesbrough.
Wright looks sharp and quick. Him and Godden look good together. Eccles and Sheaf excellent.
Good use of subs today. Kelly and Bidwell did what was needed defensively.

 

[Alkhen]

Palmer is such a show pony

Eccles absolutely brilliant after some extremely unfair criticism recently.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Ben Sheaf...what game from him...top quality...maybe he's been held back tactically in the past, because Hamer was the main man ?
Whatever reason, that was the best i've seen him play, and he bossed it.

 

[Tommo1993]

Sheaf, Godden, Eccles, all had a great game.

It was my first prediction tbf. After FT at Leicester.

Personally feel we’ll pump Boro 3-0.

 

[stupot07]

Sakamoto basically got us that second goal. So much energy for the 5-10 Minutes after he came on.

We needed it, we had gone completely flat for 15 mins.

Honestly we can’t get on VE’s back too early, once he gets up to full fitness I can see him being a real handful. You can see he is reluctant to go past 1 on 1 at the minute and it’s limiting his game

 

[Paul Anthony]

From what I've seen these first couple of games, there's a lot of exciting potential in this team. Clearly a few players not up to full speed yet, but once we are I think we're going to have quite a team on our hands, especially if there's more to come in.

 

[clint van damme]

He really looks a player. Disciplined in defence, knew when to run with the ball, knew when to put a foot through it, was really impressed.

He gets in dangerous areas , at times in the first half he was the furthest player forward . Very exciting player

 

[Garlana86]

Eccles absolutely brilliant after some extremely unfair criticism recently.

Yeh difficult for him to get the plaudits playing that role but he was everywhere, Hamer being out the team hopefully gives him even more reason to fight for that spot.

 

[shmmeee]

Will take that. Clearly still learning roles and how to work with each other but lots of positives. Sakamoto and Wright look fun. Who the hell was the kid with the worlds shortest debut?
