Coventry vs Everton (1 Viewer)

2-2 not a bad draw we came back from behind twice and gunner got on the score sheet which is a good sign.

It was a fairly decent result, I thought some fairly large patches of the game were a bit drab but the promise was there and we matched the Everton team put out there fairly well - and they had some of their "big" names playing too.

I missed the first 2 goals but caught the 2nd 2 - Everton's second was a corker! And Gunner's goal, which basically sort of just fell into the net, was a bit rubbish but they all count! Lets just hope the draw boosts the players to kicking off the season the right way with a win!

I was quite happy with the game. Was expecting a bit of a thrashing, and with the singing of McIndoe i'm at least a little less pessimistic about next season.

I still think Everton put on a decent enough display and they didn't let us walk over them etc, which is good because it's always good to see how your team shapes up to "higher" opposition - although if we can hold them to a draw, why did we falter against Hartlepool?! lol.

The own disappointing thing from my point of view was the turn out of 9k fans - I think I read somewhere that one of the guys who was organising all the testemonial events said that they needed about 12,000 to break even etc - as all the money from the programmes went 50/50 to his foundation and the charity etc. But it was nice to see the Everton fans giving a round of applause to Marcus anyway and I think the whole day was most enjoyable! I shall be donating my wage from that game to the charity that Marcus supports too!
