Match Thread Coventry City vs Fulham (H) - Coventry Building Society Arena - Sat 24th October (3pm KO)

[DT-R]

We just look so void on confidence and negative going forward. How have we gone from.the free scoring team of last season to the lowest threat in the league? With the same fucking personal near on. I get it against teams like Brighton and Arsenal we were a bit defensive, negative and not our usual selves. But in games like this, spurs, etc, weve got no threat and its so frustrating.

Good championship players, trying to do the same again in the premier.
Unfortunately they are just not good enough.
But we know there will be no changes, until an hour has passed.

 

[Briles]

Bit of extra pace on the wings and we do these

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I think some of our supporters are deluded - do we think we are going to dominate established PL teams?

Many do yes

I Agree we wont , id like us however to sometimes move the ball a bit quicker

 

[Mr pot]

Stonewall pen, I'm only thinking that Fulham players first contact cancelled out his contact but even considering that I know I'm chatting shite.

If we had of gone 1-0 down then the day would have been a write-off.

BTA is a Championship striker playing in the Premier League
Not his fault he's getting picked

 

[only farms]

Only real positive for me is that I like JDS and Rudonis link up play.

 

[RJASkyblue]

We are giving it a go
Thought mve was excellent defensively

Apart from when he was playing centre half giving them 50 yards of space on the wing and they nearly scored with the deflected shot .

It’s a balance though isn’t it? We need to grind results out somehow.

 

[DT-R]

Grimes not working at all
Yirenki playing within himself probably been told to be more aware
Saka trying his heart out
Bobby and pinnock excelletn

Pretty much echo this. Would add though Cherif has been strong, but as a whole we're toothless in attack and have offered nothing. Hes done well with the little service hes had via long ball.

I dont mind drawing today , but beat the mackems

Its just been a bad match to watch

Still think we'll nick a winner

 

[Winny the Bish]

Because he's got good workrate and anticipation, hence why he's playing. Yes he hasn't always got quality but the scapegoating of him on here is just ridiculous.

That's why I understand him playing. Sakamoto the more confusing selection for me out of the 2 because he's less of a goal threat. (Watch him score now)

 

[covcity4life]

We're a newly promoted team in a league that is levels above the last one we were in. If you think we were going to seamlessly migrate into it you are pretty deluded.

Don't forget these same posters were crying in our first season back in championship too about how we were going down etc

 

[Evo1883]

No i agree generally with what you are saying , but there are issues with what we are doing too

This Fulham team look anything but established though. They're looking over their shoulders and we have to step up and take it to them at home. Surely even you agree with that

January is a while off.
The game will be finished by then!

We need somebody to have a shot rather than going back to rushworth.

Sakamoto has been exactly what we need in a game like this

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

I agree that it's another good outing for Pinnock and especially Thomas

 

[Evo1883]

Hope so

 

[DT-R]

Every time Yirenki gets on the in ball he wants to turn backwards, if Grimes was as regressive in his passing this board would fall over.

Grimes IS as regressive with his passing

Still too many gaps in midfield that any opponent can exploit. We constantly back off and invite pressure which is worrying

They are very established

 

[Deleted member 3487]

Pulled Bassey down at the corner. Long VAR check. That’s why the HT whistle was so delayed

Wow had no idea about that in the ground. Was so confused why they were playing longer. Very poor.

 

[Skybluedogwood]

He just needs a steady player next to him like Bobby has with Pinnock. Grimes dropping deep means it’s just Caleb on his own in the middle

100%. You’ve got to be blind not to realise the middle of the pitch is an ongoing problem, do we want to win games or just constantly try not to lose them and nick something?

 

[Nick]

How's he not booked him

 

[Tommo1993]

Deluded

£26m for Yirenkyi, we've been done.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I don't expect us to "dominate" anyone, but I would've expected us to look more like a challenge at home against teams in the relegation zone.

As a newly promoted I would hope we would be relentless, defend like lions, and chase everything. Put fear into teams that Coventry City go 100% and you will never come to the Ricoh and have a relatively easy day, even if you win by multiple goals.

 

[Nick]

He's letting bassey get away with murder

 

[robbiekeane]

lol rudoni seeing balls that BTA didn’t even know were on

 

[fernandopartridge]

How hasn't Bassey been booked yet?

Because we're in a much better league

That was never a foul on bta
