Bizarrely. Clive on the radio says Armstrong doesn't do Interviews on his agents Instruction.

BBC says 'outside the UK'
I'm probably being greedy but it seems like we should have won this by more than 3 goals. 18 shots with 9 on target.

Last few games with those stats we only scored 1 it's an improvement.

Is Charles-Cook better than Burge, or has he not been tested yet?

Well in terms of handling crosses, distribution, calmness under pressure on the evidence of one game he's a lot better.

Good win but Jesus Christ Shrewsbury were awful. The score could have been anything after we went 1-0 up.

Fortune was brilliant, he and Armstrong reminded me of how Adebola and Mifsud used to link together.

2nd half much better ball retention. Brings up the overall performance.

Rcc brilliant with simple things he had to do. Great defensive performance from wholenunit. Only rmemeber 1 shot on target from shrews

Motm between vincelot ,reda, kent or Armstrong for me.

He was brilliant you stupid troll c**t

No he wasn't. His distribution especially in the first half was horrendous.

The back four were all guilty of it but he was the biggest culprit. His first touch was horrendous and some of his block tackles which were a consequence of his dire first touch were borderline.

In a game where the opposing forward line was mediocre in the extreme he did not shine.

To not even mention Fortune as a potential MOM contender shows your lack of knowledge.

Still as soon as the terraces find a silly song to sing about him I'm sure he will be a contender.

6 out of 10 for Johnson. Ricketts and Martin were far better.

I though Fortune was impressive a very well taken penalty and brought the others into play well, if I had to use one word to sum it up today it was comfortable.

Tbf to Grendal, I'm inclined to agree. Reda wasn't that good. Nothing special. Only thing he did out of the ordinary was go on the run that took defenders away to allow Armstrong get his 2nd. Can say he did anything to warrant being a MOTM contender though.

Without appearing critical or negative after a 3-0 win, he does seem to live off the hero status a bit too much and some times people see games through Reda glasses (bit like sky blue glasses but in the form of Reda Johnsons).

Don't get me wrong, the defence kept a clean sheet but we weren't really troubled by Shrewsbury all game (or Chesterfield if my earlier post is to be believed)

Sw88 that's fine mate. Everyone can see game different. I just took offence to gender saying it in a troll way. As Huckerby said I bit

He tried doing it again as I forgot to mention MAF but as ratings thread shows I definitely appreciated him. He was amazing. Won't bite on that one though

Moving on though we won 3 nil and it could have been 5 or 6. Ricoh visits are brilliant lately

Thank you mowbray!

Very comfortable win. Could and should have been more. First half we looked a little shaky at the back re distribution but never looked like conceding. City are playing some great football at home. Last game could have been 5. Same today. Pusb

Yeh agrees. Tad sloppy 1st half. To come out of it with 2 goal lead is pleasing tho. Also shows we can make chances with more direct approach too st times. Maf a big part of that with hold up

You do talk sense sometimes , but you strike me as somebody who holds a grudge , and for some reason you have it in for Reda .
He is a huge player for coventry , the STATS tell us that you are wrong about him .

M-O-M. Fortune by a mile, laid 2 goals on and scored the penalty going to be a very important player for a promotion push followed by Aaron Martin, has to be our most improved player. Covers Johnson's runs superbly. Another top team performance need to repeat this away from home though starting at Yeovil,

Well win ratio stats show Lee Burge is a better goalkeeper than Westwood.
