[HD8 Blades]

Take a draw now
Fear the worst with Gordon back in
Millwall repeat?

Wasn’t Gordon the one positive from Millwall?

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

So weird, all the bar staff in the ground are wearing last seasons home shirt.

 

[Bartleby]

I have some concerns about this ref, but cannot remember exactly what.
When did we last have him at BL ?

the 2-1 defeat to West Brom 2018/19. Can't remember him but OK according to Deadbat 's report

Referee – Jeremy Simpson. Fine. One booking, Egan which was right and stupid (handball) but maybe instinctive as it went over him. Not many bad tackles all game and cannot recall him getting too much wrong. Had to give decisions when both assistants did not help him – Duffy foul for instance.

 

[Vikkster]

Remember if your going dont forget your whistles and tennis balls, only when they attack

.

 

[BladesOnToast]

Is that 5 of 7 subs who last season were playing for the u-23s and hadn't even made a senior start between them until this season? Blimey

EDIT - apologies, Jebbo made a few starts back end of last season

 

[BigBed]

Wonder what's up with Davies, personal or injury problems?

Calf strain.

 

[BigBed]

Bench is looking young today...

 

[FriethBlade]

Showing the benefit of having a strong academy and getting kids out on loan. If Lopata is needed hes played plenty of games for southend so will be as match fit physically and mentally as he can be without having played first team for us.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Anyone have a link? Mine has been banned!

 

[Champagneblade]

"Strength through Adversity"

 

[JPSharpy93]

Is it live on SUTV?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Young Wilder lookalike at the game today...View attachment 132277top lad.

Is that the front door he's going through?

 

[PocketNines]

Get in Sander!

 

[Captain2]

What a player

 

[Terry Starlight]

First time watching on a firestick on the EFL page. What awful commentary. Can't pronounce any of our players' names and starts screaming every time cov get the ball in our third.

Is it always this bad?

He does get very excited, even when there doesn't seem that much danger

 

[Captain2]

Shocker from Robinson 1-1

 

[Drunk blade]

Shocker from Robinson 1-1

Egan left his man too, defending has been very poor so far

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Kevin gage thinks Djokovic is playing up front for Coventry

 

[Bobby b]

We really haven't settled down yet, the pressing game isnt working as it did against Middlesbrough

 

[jono_t2000]

Does anyone know the dimensions of Coventry ground.. has to be one of the narrowest in this league surely.

Also doesn't help this pitch is like playing on concrete, the bounce of the ball is so unnatural.

 

[Bobby b]

The Coventry fans slagged our style of play off in their view from, but they seem very much a long ball team, I suppose were playing a bit long today

 

[Terry Starlight]

Wow back pass

 

[Terry Starlight]

Haven't seen one of these for a while

 

[Bobby b]

I hope ref sends em back 10 yards

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

We have no focal point up front and it doesn’t help that we just lump it up to bill & MGW the ball just comes straight back

Why is he playing a flat 3 get MGW/Berge together on the ball as much as possible

You would think Hecky would have learnt from previous away games

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

We’ve really struggled to get a grip on the game first half. MGW needs to hold it up better, midfield and losing every second ball and for some reason if you punt it long ball against our defence we can’t deal with it today

 

[originaltrueblade]

Fuck sake sort the defence out at HT

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Fortunate to be going in drawing, chance to regroup

 

[HarryHaslam]

Below par first half, I’m sure we will improve the 2nd half, we have to.
