Match Thread Coventry City vs. Lincoln City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Dec (3 Viewers)

When this team starts to settle down with everyone coming back from injury and jells together then it's going to get interesting.

Do you not think it should already be interesting, it's December.

Clive moaning about Santa now. He'd prefer to be back commentating on matches in the 60s wouldn't he!

Seems quieter in the stand than usual.

Good question.

I think over the last few games we have been holding our own in the league with position but not pushing forward up the league. With those that are coming back in to the team I do suspect that thing will be on the up again. Might take a few games though for everyone to get use to each other's playing styles etc.

 

[Great_Expectations]

I don’t like one up front, nobody does. But let’s add context it isn’t a completely isolated 1, he has up attacking midfielders behind him. As per my earlier post, they aren’t natural 10’s, but there role is to be attacking today.

However, as I type we punt a stupid long ball to Godden....

 

[Great_Expectations]

Confident start from McCallum; the Liverpool rumours have obviously gone to his head. It’s clearly all a tactical ploy from MR!

 

[chiefdave]

How hard is it for them to get the commentary roughly in sync with the pictures? Every week its the same problem.

 

[CCFC88]

Godden is nowhere near fit enough to start a game.

Yea, you’re probably right

 

[fatso]

Looking at that starting line up, I'm saying it's a nailed on 0-0

 

[Grendel]

Good clean strike from Shipley just over

 

[Great_Expectations]

Just realised their striker - Walker - is the one who rejected us in the summer (if I remember the events correctly?).

Good, five minutes in and he looks shit. Didn’t want him anyway, next.

 

[chiefdave]

Not a bad effort from Shipley. Not sure the keeper had that covered if it had been a bit lower.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Godden looks off the pace

McCallum is fine on the ball and moving forward it’s his defending that’s not great

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

1 in the box we won’t score like that so annoying

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Kelly shot wide. Playing well but nowhere near enough men in the box when we attack

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

“Godden’s pulled off the centre back, which he does well”

We’re definitely too friendly with the opposition

 

[Great_Expectations]

I agree, I also think his crossing is poor; too floaty.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Great ball in by Kelly Godden just missed the flick. 2 in the box then

 

[Great_Expectations]

Lincoln are trying to play out from the back, but their centre backs are absolutely not footballers and we are doing a good job of exploiting and pressuring that.

 

[cc84cov]

Biamou & Allen on the bench strange one

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

They look defensive. Very comfy against 1 striker. We are making all the running

 

[jordan210]

The subs bench is so strong you would struggle to pick who to bring on in the 89th min

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Fucking hell godden is isolated, this game is crying out for some creativity from allen/Ohare

 

[Johhny Blue]

Clive moaning about Santa now. He'd prefer to be back commentating on matches in the 60s wouldn't he!

At least he got his name right

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Good run great ball. So frustrating we haven’t got a couple of strikers banging them in

 

[Nick]

Lino not watching the game again, ref corrects him

 

[PVA]

We're basically playing 3-4-3, I'm not sure how much more attacking people want us to line up.

OnLy OnE uP fRoNt!!1!

 

[Nick]

We have fuck all up front and final ball

Who are the 3 up front?

 

[jordan210]

Lino not watching the game again, ref corrects him

That was pretty comical his flag was all over the place

 

[Grendel]

Fortunately Lincoln look to lack any ambition so its turgid but I think we will win

 

[jordan210]

Oggy has been with Clive to long. Calling Lincoln Ipswich

 

[Nick]

We have one in the box, they have five defenders

3 upfront? We have 1 striker on the pitch
