Coventry City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[andrewjohnsmith]

And to think we got another good result away from home after not bringing in any new players in the transfer window, shouldn`t allowed

Tired of hearing how negligent we were in the window. Complacent. "Made our bed" etc etc

We have the squad to piss this league as shown on the last couple of games. We could easily be 10 points clear by now if we'd finished off the teams we should have finished off.

Glad we can shut up about the window now (or most of us can) and just enjoy the football

Not sure what you expected, me being such a glass-act and all

How transparent can you be, it's clear he's fishing for compliments.

And away we go again with the fish puns.

[Tyzy]

I can't remember the last time we created so many chances and failed to score,3pts in the end though so all good.

[andrewjohnsmith]

I think Farke's late subs indicate he'll be resting as many as possible on Saturday. We have another league game on Tuesday. Awful scheduling (again)

Darlow-Schmidt-Byram-Strujik-Wober (if fit)-Rothwell-Ramazani-Gnonto-Joseph all likely to start

I need to see the Meslier save again. Bit Gordon Banksy.

Poor sole.

Good win in a tough away game and another clean sheet. Not so bothered about the missed chances, hopefully we're saving out scoring boots for the blunts game.

Ah sole

Ah sole

Time for a kipper, I'm starting to flounder.

I need to sea my bed.

They were in decent form prior but their results flattered them a little. If the Coventry fans think Fatty is the answer then well they’re wrong.
But a comfortable win. And we dont seem to concede goals anymore….

It looked really good. It was point blank, on the ground (a yorker), and behind him such that he had to claw it out.

Its the reflex saves like that that had us raving over Mez 3 or 4 years ago. The lapses we could put down to youth and inexperience. But he hasn't been making the saves either. Soooo good to see that today.

[Cjay]

Early goal was vital imo.

We usually start slow away from home, and not unusual to concede first.

So that 1st goal was vital, that and Mes save from the header 2 most pivotal moments imo

Coventry didn't threaten until they were 2 down. Imagine it might have been much tighter at the back from them if we hadn't scored early.

The corners were mostly woeful. Let’s just all admit that Rothwell is the best we have. As I have said many times the bar isn’t high.

Definitely our best corner-taker.

Unlucky to lose his place tonight.

Yes well described. Great athleticism and strength.

[Jaydog]

Who scores from corners.
Watched the replay of Newc v Arse and they said Newc only conceded 1 all season. Arsenal never got close. Corners very rarely result in a goal. Especially not direct from the kick.

For now, looks like Farke likes Gruev for the away games and Rothwell for the home games.

4 top choices in midfield pushes Ampadu into center back. Looks like it will take an injury for Strujik to get back in.
