Coventry v Yeovil matchday thread

[skyblue4ever]

So you think this league is where a club the size of Coventry should be?

But we do deserve to be!

 

[mark82]

Sheff-not a winger
Kilbane-too slow for LW
Baker-more suited to a central role in the hole or centre-right of a 3
Bell-never fit, legs completely shot from injury.

Fair comment. But we do have people who can play those positions if necessary.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

And I think you will find those clubs considered not getting promotion failure. I am not saying we will go up but we should be aiming for it and be disappointed if we don't. I think the lack of ambition from the fans is a symptom of our failures over the last 10 years.

Didn't say they didn't, but them, Sheff Wed, Preston, Sheff U, Forest and other "big clubs" have failed to get out of this league first attempt. It's the expectation that this will be a cake-walk that irks me as disrespectful to the division.

 

[sw88]

It creates nice football.

Can't afford to be nice in this league tho

 

[coundonskyblue]

Maybe we will be? But no, lose or-shock-draw today, and we won't?

Not at all, its only 1 game, but its against a team that nearly went down last year.

 

[torchomatic]

We won on Tuesday.

It's no surprised we've panicked and started hoofing after the equaliser, the dark cloud that is last season's away record will still be hanging over the club and be firmly on the players' minds. The sooner we shake that the better.

It's a big team talk for AT. Maybe bring Jennings on to try and get control of the midfield?

 

[mark82]

But we do deserve to be!

Absolutely we do. But we should be aiming to get back to the Championship.

 

[sylus]

And? I think a lot of people still have the Premiership mentality for our League One club.

are you for real....

 

[torchomatic]

So what? That was last year.

Not at all, its only 1 game, but its against a team that nearly went down last year.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

baker and macca both very effective out wide and certainly at this level.

They weren't in The Championship!

I'm sure that's what Sheff Utd fans are saying in their second season in league one.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

They were all but relegated, then showed play-off form under Johnson to stay up. Then signed players.

 

[torchomatic]

Just realistic. Believe it or not, we are going to lose some games this year. Doesn't mean we are shit or that Thorn is shit. Some fans think we will win every game we play. The same happened when we dropped out of the Prem.

are you for real....

 

[Sutty]

We won on Tuesday.

It will take more than one win to fully shake last season off.

 

[Perryccfc]

And look at the game from Yeovils perspective, a big club, with good players, and decent fanbase, first game of the season, at home, full house. They will want a win just as much as we do. Id have snatched your hand off for a point before the game

 

[Marty]

Lets hope the players are going to perform this half. PUSB!

Although just stuck some money on us to lose

 

[skyblue4ever]

Absolutely we do. But we should be aiming to get back to the Championship.

I know we should and im sure they are but we r only 45mins into the season. it will take time

I didn't say it would be a cake-walk. Merely said we should be challenging promotion. If not, changes are needed.

 

[Paxman II]

Just because people are positively looking at promotion or playoffs as a minimum does make them beleive it's a cake walk! Some people like to have their glass half full not half empty in their line of thinking. Then some i see simply refuse to be positive...

 

[coundonskyblue]

So what? That was last year.

All I'm saying is if we're serious about promotion we need to win these sort of games.

I just hope we come out all guns blazing in the 2nd half.

 

[mrtickle]

For me top 6 is a minimum requirement. We should realistically be challenging top 2 and automatic promotion. If we don't do it then there should be consequences.

Liquidation I imagine. If we don't go up I can see us in real trouble. We need to at least get into playoffs

 

[mark82]

I'm sure that's what Sheff Utd fans are saying in their second season in league one.

Yes they are. And so they should be.

 

[sylus]

you see with thorn...losing is in his nature...thorn is shit...

 

[torchomatic]

Well, there you go. Your mind is made up; Thorn is shit.

Thats fine. But I'm suggesting that those who are complaining about a draw at Yeovil (at H/T, FFS!) do have expectaions that it would be a cakewalk. Mmm, cake...

 

[mark82]

Is there anything happening in the game?

 

[Sky_Blue_Ste]

9 new players - not going to be easy to get them to gel

 

[hill83]

No..........

Think people are complaining about the performance rather than the score.

 

[stringyb92]

A point is better than a defeat!!!

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

9 new players - not going to be easy to get them to gel

Which is one reason why I'd have rather kept Gael & Keogh and not signed so many players!

 

[mrtickle]

Sounds like thorns given them a rocket!

 

[sw88]

Cody just taken down closing down a pass back but no pen given. Looked like a good shout to me!

Barton then follows us with a terrible attempt to con the ref by diving

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Wow, I never get how people can watch a game and type at the same time. Surely they are missing most of the action?

 

[Grendel]

What 9 players are making their debuts? That must be a league record. Who are the 2 from last season who are playing?
