Let's not talk about our new goalies kicking

I think he’s been asked to shorten his distribution to try and find the full backs when they are high up as opposed to hitting the forwards. That reduces his area to kick into pretty significantly and means he is often looking for smaller players too. If you have wright or Simms playing you probably go a bit longer and the kicks look better because they hit your man.

[Sick Boy]

We look pretty decent so far.

Dasilva played into trouble by Rushworth but did really well with it. I would love Dasilvas redemption arc to continue into next season because he is technically so good.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Not sure how it looks online but BTA putting on a decent shift.

He's doing OK. He seems to be running around with a bit more purpose and is finding space.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

He’s sitting behind the bench. Saw him talking to a steward before kick off with a wry smile on his face.

Why can’t he make the bench for a 2nd this week?

 

[Jamesimus]

Rudoni at the ground not sure if said but in a box in case anyone worried

Depends on the kind of box to be honest! Has it got air holes in it to allow breathing?

Christ, it’s some knock if they’ve got him in a casket already.

I agree we look pretty good , and im hoping fans have noticed just how much we fluidly change the formation as the games in play it really good to watch

 

[Ashdown]

When this was mentioned in betis thread people got called boo boys

I agree with you btw. But I would love Simms to come good for us

Everyone wants Simms to come good !

 

[covcity4life]

I'm not sure we are gonna get a striker signing so BTA and Simms may be it for us this season so let's hope they do well.

Wright of course too . Still personally like him LW though

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

We gave Real Betis a good game, and giving these a good challenge as well - we certainly don't look like a 'lesser team' against foreign top-flight opposition (albeit St Pauli are only just joining that level). Hopefully bodes well for the season ahead.

Rudoni at the ground not sure if said but in a box in case anyone worried

I'm very worried if he's died!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

KKH is getting battered in this first half

 

[Chris1987]

Let's be honest the sooner Wright is fit again the better. BTA is OK to have on the bench but not starting every week.

 

[shmmeee]

Oh dear

 

[mrfr]

Why can’t he make the bench for a 2nd this week?

Because the manager didn’t pick him? Maybe he’s off, maybe he’s pissed lampard off, but it’s all speculation until something is said or something happens.

 

[Evo1883]

Keeper , oh dear

 

[shmmeee]

Come back Brad all is forgiven

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Come back Brad, all is forgiven.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Kessler-Hayden seems have got injured by having the ball kicked at his ankle.

Ffs, what is is about us that turns goalkeepers to shit? We’re cursed.

 

[Garlana86]

Do we teach this stuff in training?

 

[ovduk78]

What a fuck up by Rushworth?

 

[Evo1883]

Hes not happy with sheaf

 

[pusbccfc]

For fuck sake

What did I just say!!

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

Wow!

 

[covcity4life]

Fucking hell. This guy is fucking shite lol

 

[Sick Boy]

Fucking hell.

 

[PVA]

Oh my

Hopefully just getting it out his system before the important stuff starts

 

[procdoc]

Bring back Collins

 

[StrettoBoy]

Is Collins in goal?

 

[Tommo1993]

Laughing stock, going down.

 

[Jamesimus]

We gave Real Betis a good game, and giving these a good challenge as well - we certainly don't look like a 'lesser team' against foreign top-flight opposition (albeit St Pauli are only just joining that level). Hopefully bodes well for the season ahead.

We look pretty good in possession, without too much cutting edge.

Oh god that was terrible though haha. Get them out the way with now Carl! Happy for that to be in preseason!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

This is a calamity performance from Rushworth. Get Wilson back

 

[mark82]

Have we found yet another disaster keeper?
