Lucas 3,827 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I don't know why but I'm going and I know how this plays out already. We are absolutely cursed against them generally but even more so down there. Cardiff just have that voodoo magic over us and visiting one of our all time bogey grounds, it's got a loss written all over it. Teams know we have a bit of a soft underbelly away, we don't seem to respond well to the teams that try to bully and hack us all over the pitch and I see this one being no different. Gonna need more than Bamford worldies to defeat that curse. What worries me too is we really can't afford to let Saints pull away from us and as they are home to Wednesday, it does not bode well for a positive weekend.

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This is going to go one of two ways. Considering how poor we've been, we're either going to get twatted or Leeds continue to shit the bed and we get a result (though last time we were lucky to get anything as Leeds battered us).

It's a pub with a cinema-esque screen. But it's produced a good bit of wind up content anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I got to watch a fair bit of the Coventry - Leicester match. The red card seemed very much a leveller from the ref. The penalty, just a few minutes earlier, had perhaps been harsh. To me, the penalty seemed more of a natural collision than foul. Then the red is a yellow most times you see a strikers tackle like that. I imagine Leicester will feel done over by the ref. But, even still, Coventry did really well to use the man advantage & do look to be in the play off race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Utter. Fucking. Shite. I know Leeds are the superior team, but bar Bowler, we don't look remotely arsed today. When their first goal comes from comical defending and a player already on the floor, you don't have much hope for this. We're losing this match today, but let's at least put some fucking effort in.

The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 How did it even get up there? Coventry's security licence should be reviewed for that. That's part of the reason I'm off twitter. I'd see people make 'vichai on a plane' comments to Leicester players from faceless accounts and it would get under my skin. How anybody can think this is acceptable behaviour in any walk of life is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully don't think that's in the stadium, but nonetheless there's been a few absolute wrong'uns do similar banners around the city on roads etc. Disgusting.

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I read about the Coventry signs thing on the freshly confused BBC website. (why remove current days fixtures & league table from the football home page??) It's definitely not right, things like that, when any clubs 'fans' take digs about other clubs disasters & tragedies. It's up there with the attacks on away teams coaches. It might be the closest Coventry get to a derby, and the idiots really do go that bit further, at any club. What it really needs is Coventry fans condemning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted January 14 Subscriber Share Posted January 14 The worst thing about today is it's exactly the shot in the arm they needed to go on a proper run and get into the playoffs / possibly win them. Even if we'd just drawn it it would've at least killed their excitement a bit. You can always nail us on for at least one absolutely hideous collapse a season. I've had a feeling for a while Fatawu was going to get a red card and had a horrible feeling it would be today. He's a good player and a bright prospect, but he's a bit reckless. I actually don't think it's a red, but in the context of the situation, to fly in for a challenge like that after we've just had a contentious one go our way is naive in the extreme and I knew the minute he made it he'd get a red. Referee was absolutely woeful today. Embarrassing how a Premier League referee can be that weak. We will win the league, but I don't like our big game record, and it will bite us next year if we aren't careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted January 14 Author Administrator Share Posted January 14 Deeney is inexperienced in management but even so it's pretty obvious you don't call your players out in public in such a fashion. He won't last long there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the easiest game we've had all season without being too harsh. Not harsh at all, as it was that poor from us really. I don't mind losing to the better team on the day if we actually put some effort in, but yesterday was just laughable really. Two players going for the same ball, conceding when the players on the floor, a counter attack that leads to a goal because our players collided with each other, the list goes on. Either we gave you too much respect or the gameplan was simply 'Sit back and soak up the pressure', which works about 10% of the time. Not that it mattered as we did practically nothing. Why Bulut persists with a midfield of Siopis, Ralls and Wintle (all work horses but no creativity) is beyond me. We have no clue in midfield what to do with those three. We only looked a little better when Ralls got injured and Rubin Colwill came on, as him and Bowler (the latter for the first half anyway) were the only ones looking capable of doing anything. The fact Alnwick was our MOTM, despite conceding three, says a lot really. Plymouth away next. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
