* The Unofficial "Official" Coventry v Boro P/off Semi Final 1st Leg Match-day Thread *

It might be my rose tinted out look but I think it’s been a text book performance

You are biased as hell but you certainly don’t have rose tinted glasses.

 

[Bernieslavenschin]

Should be a yellow card for kicking the ball like that, especially after the rolling around the floor 5 mins earlier

 

[Jedi boro]

Some of you lot would moan at anything

 

[boroboy6872]

Perfect, got to be happy with that

Only thing missing just like the 1st half was a goal

 

[h_m_boro]

Happy with that

We’ve lumped a whole lot of extra pressure on ourselves now. They’ve nothing to lose playing at the Riverside, we’re more than likely playing to a sold out expectant crowd who’re always nervous at best and will get on the players backs.

Can't understand this mentality. We've kept a very capable side quiet and have an excellent home record.

 

[r00fie1]

Well done Boro!

 

[SNEEKERS]

Match report... that'll do!

 

[Chappy112]

Not the end of the world, but as the home side in the reverse fixture all the pressure is on us now.

Probably the first time I've ever read someone thinking you have to win the 1st leg as the away team in any 2 legged knockout competition

 

[Laughing]

Job done as we go into half time.

 

[northriding]

Would have taken that before the game. McNair and Lenihan were excellent.

 

[Ipad1977]

That will do for me. In the main a good composed away performance.

Paddy was mint today.

 

[Redka]

Paddy my MotM by a mile.

 

[GazBoro]

Good performance that.

 

[Teesste]

Brilliant result.. anyone thinking otherwise needs to quit sniffing so much glue!

What a time for our ‘fragile defence’ to keep a rare clean sheet

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

McNair, Lenihan and Mowatt were excellent IMO but after that first half hour, we were absolutely awful in an attacking sense. I think it’s a good result though.

 

[breakthewallsdown]

They're garbage, aren't they?

 

[Jonathan]

Well, if you don't win, just don't lose, so a decent result. Second half wasn't great in terms of creating chances but the defence did a good job for once, McNair basically dominated Gyokeres.

Think Sky showed a graphic near the end the end there with Gyokeres "duel" stats for the game saying he'd won 3 and lost 18. Doing a good job if you're able to keep him quiet.

 

[Glover_elbow]

That will do for me. In the main a good composed away performance.

Paddy was mint today.

Apart from his corners.

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

Even if they beat us at home I’m glad I don’t have to listen to that turgid shiz again..
