COVENTRY Match Thread

One thing that puzzles me at the Wham is the ludicrous overwatering of the pitch.
The sprinklers are on full blast for 20 minutes before kick-off & virtually throughout half time.
Even after heavy rain all week it still gets another soaking.
Today there were several near catastrophes with defenders slipping at vital moments.
Perhaps when we concede a goal through this folly the idiot in charge will give it a rest.
 
Gotta give some credit to the Coventry fans as well, 1500 of them and it would seem they were well behaved and made a big effort to drink the bar dry. On their forum it seems they were impressed with the double decker bus bar (im sure i got laughed at for suggesting that a few years back), and our humble surroundings. They were also impressed with the noise offered by a small home crowd. Makes a refreshing change to get a billy big nuts club who appreciate tiny tinpottery and the efforts our club make to compete

Our defense was outstanding in the second half. They were to a man. fantastic. I never thought they would be able to hold out against all the Coventry pr.
essure for over 35 minutes. What a performance!

Got to agree CG. I thought the big difference yesterday was the return of Big Ben, how we've missed him.
Some of his superb last ditch tackles kept us in the game.
But my lasting memory will be when Nazon launched an exocet missile toward our goal from 30 yards.
The words 'it's in!' were forming on my lips when, through a crowd of players the sight of what appeared to be horizontal yellow banana flew across the goal to deny them a certain goal.
All hail Chapman!

I think 76 minutes must be a new record for defending a one goal lead :D

And for biting nails!

And talking of flying bananas, whatever happened to goalies wearing contrasting colours? Was yesterday the second time this season that an away keeper has been allowed to wear red at The Wham?

So you think it's acceptable to throw a bottle onto the pitch that missed our keeper by inches ?
Adios.

Outback Ozzie - are you joking about the ref? He had a great game, let the match flow, got most decisions spot on.

sorry but I don;t think Billy nor Kayden would share your point of view both took a hammering yesterday with no protection from the referee

Are there any retired mill workers out there who can lip read and give a summary of what Professor Coleman said about the match? :rolleyes:
It's yet another that sounds like he's not in the same room as the interviewer.

Quite sure I said "it would seem they were well behaved"

Obviously no I dont think it's acceptable.

Are you tarnishing 1500 fans as bad uns because one threw something? Bear in mind one of ours threw a pie at Danny Hylton last week (missed and hit Seamus)

Bonsoir

Accybeme - I'll agree that Billy didn't get a free kick every time he fell down like he normally does.

It is a part of Billy's game he could without. If you go to ground to easy and are seen by the officials then you will get nothing. It is almost cheating, Billy does not need to do that, He can hold up and lay off with the best of them. Half a chance and he will score. We could do with more rotation of players instead of relying on the same strikers in particular each week. Hayden was not fully fit for the Coventry game and maybe should have been subbed at half time. However we got 3 valuable points.
