This defence will concede at least 3 in the second half so not sure what everyone’s excited about.

Bore off you troll

 

[luffenhamblade]

Bore off you troll

so much more lucid than my reply

 

[BangorBlade]

Ohhhhhh fck Cooper off Davis in goal

 

[drblade]

Need to recall Grbic if Coops is out for while

 

[Belvedere Blade]

OH NO Davis on for injured Cooper

 

[gooseh]

Well, that's not good

 

[Nick Jansky]

Derby - big club, given one of the biggest budgets in the division without parachute payments, managed to get top Chelsea loanees in but finished 6th.

Chelsea - one of the biggest clubs in the country, serial trophy winners with a squad of about 100 to pick from. Won fuck all, then got the job again as interim and did even worse.

Everton - established PL club, large squad and wage bill.

Coventry - brilliantly ran, on the up, expensively assembled squad. Good underlying stats when Robins was sacked, everything going against them, was bound to turn around. No pressure first season, we'll see how he does this season (well so far).

No teams struggling with no money, battling against relegation, in League 2, despite failing everywhere he's been.

Derby - matched what Wilder did last season by getting to a play off final, but did it without parachute payments.

Chelsea - how long does any manager last there since Mourinho? One of the most difficult managerial jobs along with Man Utd, and he was also operating under a transfer embargo.

Everton - give over! Absolute car crash of a club and had been for a while before he went there, thanks to Moshiri. Serially clinging on to the PL by a cat’s cock hair.

Coventry - first stable club he’s managed and as you’ve admitted he’s doing a good job with a lower budget than us.

 

[Espania blade]

Tanganga has been terrible first half, McCallum the standout and Cannon is doing ok he's had some decent touches

 

[ml1997]

Ffs. Cooper’s had a poor season but he’s much better than Davies (who I think is underrated by our fan base).

 

[Sheffsteel]

Oh shit.

2nd half you can gaurantee Coventry will go all out attack and our defence will be extra busy.

Not a good sign with Cooper having a back injury and unable to come out 2nd half. Don’t have much confidence in his replacement Adam Davies.

Saying that….Cooper has looked partially injured all season and he didn’t anything particularly impressive 1st half.

So maybe it’s not such a downgrade.

 

[gooseh]

And there you go

Clown show defending

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

What does he say to them at half time

 

[toledo]

Same again !!!!

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Well there you go

 

[Innuendoandouttheother]

So unfortunate. A cruel game is football.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Every game we concede in first few minutes of second half. Spineless fucks

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Mcguinness stood there like a lamp post

 

[Rufus Smalls]

What the fuck was Tanganga doing there ???

 

[utd4ever]

Wilder masterclass incoming

 

[Sheffsteel]

Wow….first show on target and it’s a goal for Coventry.

Poor defending….with Tanganga and McCallum going for the same ball with both knocking each other off the ball leaving their player in space to score an easy….very avoidable goal.

Our defence does have this knack of shooting itself in the foot basically gift wrapping goals for the opposition.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Tanganga has been terrible first half, McCallum the standout and Cannon is doing ok he's had some decent touches

And then he took out McCallum

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Mcguinness stood there like a lamp post

Binden surely is better

 

[Jon B]

Asleep. Fast asleep.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

What the fuck was Tanganga doing there ???

Wasnt him the reason they scored, he was on the floor it was mcguinness just looking at the fckin ball instead of closing it down

 

[Working Class Hero]

Binden surely is better

Or Zatterstrom. I know he's young, but if he's not already better than McGuinness then he can't be much of a prospect.

 

[skegblade]

Usual night nurse half time cuppa ffs

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Anyone seen Luke Faxon? Adam Davies gives me the shits every time he’s in the net.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Get Seriki on ffs, Mason Clark is going to dominate Tanganga everytime

 

[Sheffsteel]

Great block from Peck.

Coventry upping their levels now…pushing us back.
The goal has boosted their confidence and they can smell blood.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Usual night nurse half time cuppa ffs

Looks like they’ve been having Wallace’s Snoozy Choc served by Norbot.
