The unofficial "Official" Coventry City v The Mighty Boro Matchday Thread. UTMB.

Performance?
Entertainment?
Results?
We have been having this debate for years, for me just now it's got to be results all the way.
When we are in the Premiership and entertaining the top teams I would like a little more entertainment.

 

[FatCat]

Subs time?

Tough game - pitch won, entertainment wise.
But Boro took the points.
Hope Tav is OK.

oh i wondered why he came off as I thought he was playing really well.

 

[nowthen]

Not the first time we’ve conceded first at St Andrew’s. Hopefully another come back!

 

[WindyNook]

Tav injured? I hope not we would miss his drive on Saturday.
I suspect a more defensive line up away at Swansea

 

[Hap]

I think for one min he was worried he had poked it wide

I was!

 

[Muttley]

Bounce on that pitch was like an artificial one of yore. Big advantage for them I suppose in that they know how it bounces but not a good surface to play football on.

One of the worst victories I've ever dozed through.

 

[Englishteacher]

Cardiff just beat Derby 4-0 despite only having 27% possession according to the BBC website. Amazing if it is accurate. I’ll happily sacrifice a bit of decent football to go 10 games unbeaten.

Its March and we are still talking play offs.
Season isn't over for us yet.
Gives us something to play for still.

That display tells me, we don’t have enough for the play offs unfortunately but a much better season than originally expected.

 

[Transitarmy]

For all we're saying we were poor and didn't deserve it, their commentators were bulling us up and sounded worried as the game went on. The odd occasion we kept it on the deck we made good chances.

 

[Cuthbert]

To be fair I think as I did Bolasie never expected Saville to give him the ball, it looked easier for Saville to go on and score.

100%. Surely Bolasie ran that way so that it was wide open for Sav. Crazy to pass it.

 

[Corco65]

We could save the NHS thousands if they made patients watch our games before surgery, there would be no need to have an anaesthetic to put you to sleep.

Saville has no turn of speed whatsoever - both of their defenders would have caught up with him by the time he reached the edge of the box - I thought it was a clever little pass.

THIS
The fact that we're still in the frame and have meaningful matches to come, with the outside chance of getting in the the playoffs, is a massive bonus for me.

 

[indeedido]

A win is a win and an away one is always nice.
We've played better and lost, I'm grateful for the 3 points.

 

[Cuthbert]

I agree that Sav looked like he was running in treacle. Surely he was in the box already? Would have been better just to smash it IMO.

 

[sambaDTR]

Terrible game but makes a change to win ugly. It’s nice when you can bring on £30M + of subs to win the game. Considering, according to the commentators, we had a makeshift team of Paddy O’Neill, Daniel Fry and Tavernieree! Oh, and by the way, we were playing the “Sky Blues”.

 

[Erimus74]

Blackburn, Stoke, Bristol City even were all talked about as genuine playoff challengers yet all now languish behind the Boro
Yes there are some games still to play tomorrow but winning has put more pressure on other teams winning, Barnsley winning at QPR, Stoke beating Swansea

We should be full of confidence going to Swansea

They sounded very worried before the match had even started.
I think they're just pessimistic commentators.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Thought Hall was MOTM. He's a no nonsense CB who tries to clear anything.

Decent in the air
