That's what happens when you share a pitch with egg chasing piss drinkers.

Trigger warning, FFS!

Went on their official website earlier for a giggle, was like the fucking Marie Celeste. Delightful.

Interesting point from lampard. We sometimes think it's an excuse to blame pitch but if it truly is a factor it bodes well for next year when pitches will all be good condition(ignoring fact we are up against quality players week in week out)

I actually expected Hull to be much easier to beat than Derby for some reason and was impressed by how solid and compact they looked today.

Some teams raise their game to play the leaders

But unlike our situation the football team are they least welcome team in that city.

Result was ‘meh’ but we’re hitting the required run rate. Win v Sheff Wednesday should be job job done be it mathematically or we set the scene for the promotion party for Blackburn away.

Not much to say about the game aside from it being Onyeka’s poorest game by far for us.

 

[Macca]

Reality is with the incredible physical and mental effort put in this season they are probably running on empty. All these mathematical gymnastics assume a perfect run by Millwall and Boro. I wouldn't be surprised if neither get to the points we have now

 

[Great_Expectations]

Fair few people calling out Onyekas sub par performance.

I got pelters when I did that just before HT.

I truly believe signing him saved our season

Two poor performances in a row really, might benefit from a rest

No you called him overrated

If his poor performances include worldy goals and clean sheets it'll take that!

It’s allowed Grimes to do what he does best and control games, without having to worry about doing everything.

Looks that way - Sheff W is the ideal opportunity really!

To be fair you said "he wasn't all that" which is different from what most people think which he is all that that but he just had an off day

 

[Great_Expectations]

No you called him overrated

Not sure I used those words tbh.

 

[Martw]

Saka, Grimes and JDS the pick tonight.

A lot of mediocre performances but a point is a point.

Thought Grimes was always available - mopping up and helping create moves forward.

Players are not machines. A lot of football in a very short timeframe for Onyeka. No need to "call him out" . Yes he wasn't at his best but it really won't have any bearing in the general scheme of things .

 

[Ccfcisparks]

well you did in effect let’s be honest

 

[Great_Expectations]

To be fair you said "he wasn't all that" which is different from what most people think which he is all that that but he just had an off day

As my secondary post outlined, I rate him, he’s had a big impact etc etc etc, but he’s not been as on it the last two games.

I stand by that (worldie aside!).

Yea man.

Call him out, commenting on, making an observation - all the same connotations really.

My point was more around the fact, it wasn’t just me seeing it - I wasn’t an outlier.

But that is the part people gave you "pelters" for.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Arm outstretched and moved towards the ball the only defence is how close he was to rudi

Pen for me

MVE

Not really a bells and whistles performance but the old saying of “if you can’t win the game then don’t lose the game” was very apt.
We looked tired which is understandable but 4 points over Easter is a good return.

 

[Joe King]

99 now - Coventry City Championship Tracker

That's assuming we win all remaining 5 games. Not impossible, but I won't hold my breath!

We were leggy weren’t we but the effort wasn’t lacking and we kept a clean sheet which is always good away from home. Plenty of rest before Saturday now

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

100+ point dream is over

99 point dream has begun

 

[Ashdown]

Onyeka was fine for an hour, he was pretty good at times. Our issues tonight were with two clumsy strikers again. Haji looked half arsed at times.
I thought from 25 mins in this would be a stalemate and quite frankly I think the aim was not to lose so it’s another step in the direction of the title.
Onwards and Upwards

 

[Otis]

Frank says he’s satisfied with a point playing on that pitch

Pitch made it difficult for our technical players.

Was 1st class to get a clean sheet.

That wasn’t a debatable penalty.

Boys need some rest.

Need to respect SW and do our job.

SW?

I have zero respect for that man.

Maybe people jumped the gun or didn’t want to hear anything negative about him. Dunno.

Same as the Derby game when I called out a tired JDS, Kitching and Esse means we’ll likely be weaker down our left - and we were. Got some kickback on the initial comment then too.

I have no agenda, just sharing observations like the rest of us. On an internet forum.

Anyone noticed Lampard putting his hand over his mouth when talking to staff and players in games on sky. Clearly making sure no one can lip read what hes saying. He did it during the Derby game talking to his staff on the bench and again tonight after the game he was having quit a long conversation with Wright and shielded his mouth

He was good v Derby…?

Haha fucking hell the Opinion Police are out again

They moved the ball out of defence quickly very well.
