Match Thread Coventry City - Wrexham AFC Match Thread - Sunday 26th Apr (11 Viewers)

Onyeka was great last night. I’ve never known a poster as clueless as you

Got your like from the weirdo crew I guess. Back in reality he was poor and it’s not just me who has said so. Not sure why so many of you lose your shit at normal statements about players.

Do we get to ware the gold number/name set for the remaining games

 

[Aelfgar]

I like the blue smoke. But I just look at it from afar I guess so can say that

It stinks, and it must be really bad for you because I've lost my voice today. I can't think what else would have caused that...

 

[JohnWH]

I know I have already said this above but WHY? why take in a pyro just to show a bit of blue smoke? Why risk safety of others? Why do it knowing you are going to get banned? Just senseless! If you want to do something on Sunday, wear Sky Blue… weather looks good, so everyone if possible please wear Sky Blue. Far better then breathing in that shit smoke… rant over but justified I believe 🩵

Seemed to me there's better security at Legoland. I get the excitement and all, but I agree that smoke canisters are an awkward expression of happiness that just poses a safety risk and an annoyance for safety staff, players, and fans alike.

WHO CARES....PLAY THE RESERVES.

 

[skyblue025]

Need to get a win before the trophy lift not a damp squib of a game.

I want a day of celebration and that doesn't include losing to Wrexham again.

Imagine being hit in the head by one and having your coat set on fire. I literally had to wash my face with acetone to get it off.

Lots of mad throwing into the crowd on Tuesday.
Doug did put a very clear message out

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

As for the game, let’s win both remaining games and end up on the same points Lampard got in the first title of his playing career.

Unless you’re going to use CCTV to identify and punish people doing it, the messages are pointless.

Wait and see

 

[Boicey]

I think we'll start with the strongest team and sub on Bidders and Allen. I don't think he'll do Wilson that would be too much and the likes of Hull would be furious. As would we.

 

[Jamesimus]

Yes seriously. Have a glance at the ratings threads the last three or four games it’s not just me saying it.

He was poor in a few games, he was very good against Portsmouth. It usually is just you saying weird stuff yes.

 

[Seamus1]

I’m not one for sympathy with regards to starting with the older players. If I were somebody who paid £40+ for a ticket for this match, or the ticket and travel costs for Watford, then I’d be majorly pissed off if we put out a weakened side for sentimentality!

If the club wants to play them as a means of a goodbye, then put them on as subs with a minute to go, or give them a testimonial

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Most of the Wrexham posters seem level headed, but one posted 'Cov aren't as good as Southampton' so for that reason alone (plus want the 90+ points), I hope we turn up !!

 

[Milan's hair dye]

Nah, they only bought 20 odd from Birmingham

Not sure there's a reason to be majorly pissed off. As a fan, I'd be a bit gutted if I couldn't give a farewell to the likes of Jamie Allen, and I want to see more of what KKH can do. I obviously don't want to throw the game, but it's not as if we'd be fielding players from the Dog & Duck to face them. I do think there is some merit starting some on the bench, but I'd prefer more than a 5 minute cameo.

Edit: Letting Ben Wilson play up front for 10 minutes would probably be the cherry on top moment for me !!!

 

[Boicey]

I do think Frank will be professional re respecting other teams and managers in the play off hunt. He has a good relationship with them and is always a pro.
I don't think he'll go mad with the sentimentality. Wilson would be too much I reckon.

I noticed one that was thrown onto the pitch never discharged any smoke it just burst into flames and was burning away.
imagine what would have happened if that had been thrown and caught up in someones clothing etc.

 

[HJones23]

Random one, but have the club announced whether FZ will be open for this ? conscious if they have a pre booked event starting on the Monday it may be occupied

 

[SafeAsMilk]

The winning mentality has to continue … get the game well won before pissing about with subs … and theres unfinished business after the defeat at their place … add to that the Disney element and this game is important as any other

I'm sure I saw a couple chucked from between block 15 and the away fans, from high up, that didn't make the pitch and would've hit/landed amongst fellow Cov fans.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Anyway, do Wrexham have to give us a guard of honour?

Don’t have to but it’s the done thing so it would be mad for them to not

 

[clint van damme]

They definitely will.

 

[skybluecam]

Seriously? Onyeka has not been rubbish. There was one game when he put in a poor performance (can't remember which one), but besides that he's been just fine.

Onyeka has been poor recently in multiple games. If we’re actually dominating a game he’s less useful, and he’s been dreadfully sloppy in possession at times.

Was better Tuesday

 

[JSL]

International breaks generally mess with our players. Onyeka and EMC have not been great since the last break. EMC was much better on Tuesday though

He has.

But one poster said he was poor against Portsmouth, which he was not, he was very good.

After the Derby match on Good Friday he admitted to being tired. It's not a great surprise that he had a few poorer performances after that. He was much better on Tuesday night.

No, we’re giving Wrexham one.
