I'm going for.......

Coventry 1-2 Blades Henderson & Howard

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Halford injured????

Sounds like they've both got niggles and aren't being risked.

 

[SotonBlade]

I'll go for 2-0 Blades

Howard and Beattie

Strange lineup tonight

 

[Linz]

Why are RS trying to shit stir with the contract situation?

Not an exact quote but...

"OMG! THERE ARE PLAYERS THAT MIGHT BE OUT OF CONTRACT AT THE END OF THIS SEASON! PANIC!"

... about sums up what they are trying to achieve.

 

[Linz]

At least we know who's responsible for this "Howard isn't playing well because the ball keeps going over his head" myth.

Step forward... Keith Edwards.

 

[Linz]

Corner to Coventry... headed wide for Paddy.

 

[Foxy]

Bromby scores... according to the linesman!

 

[stinkyblade]

How many we taken anyone know?

 

[Linz]

How many we taken anyone know?

Think we sold about 800 tickets as of yesterday.

Just over an hour gone, United score two and the Coventry fans aren't happy

 

[Linz]

Bugger... let one back from the long throw.

Coventry 1 - 2 Blades

 

[Linz]

Full time and all three points.

A bugger about Brum scoring though

 

[happyhippy]

We can only win, and that'll do for me!

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Delighted. 50p on 2-1 at 10/1 wohoo!

 

[Monty's_Girl]

Great result tonight Blades, wish i'd gone!

 

[Come from away]

Can anybody at the game tell us what number O'Toole had on his back, plus how did he look?

 

[Kev Gee]

good win for the blades!

Shame the Brum scored though!!

hopefully the teams above us will choke come Saturday.

i really do feel that we have hit form at the right time!

 

[Hartyblade]

If we can grab a point or maybe all 3, then the 2 games after that Blackpool & Derby should be wins, and then we should of the play offs in the bag and could push for promotion!

Heaps of praise to blackwell, added depth to the squad, im sure there planty of premiership teams who'd love to have our bench, great substitions, and granted he might have lost our record of 95 years against the pigs, but has set a club record of 12 away games unbeaten!

Up the Blades!!

He looked beautiful. His hair was a bit greasy though.

But on a footballing note, I was impressed with him when he came on. It's funny how when a player comes on to play Howard's position you tend to see the ball on the deck more with that player on the ball.

Cotterill was the biggest danger for me, was impressed with his performance again. He was the most dangerous player for us in the first half but was playing on the left wing which I thought was stupid.

Morgan was a rock again. I don't need to say more.

Was close between Cotts and Morgs for MOTM for me but went Cotts, cos I went Morgs last game

P.S. Thought the first half was awful. Decent enough improvement in the second but nothing special.

Thanks for this - did you catch his number?

 

[Mousey]

He was number 21.

This reads like Blackies interview after the Hull game

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7908492.stm

Coventry boss Chris Coleman on Sheffield United's opener:
"I can't tell you how angry I am.

"One, we defended it poorly. But two, the linesman has had an absolute horror show with the decision.

"I have seen it again and again and he isn't even in line with the ball and there are players in front of him so his view is obstructed.

"Unless he is 100% sure - 100% sure - that the ball is over the line he can't give that.

 

[Linz]

The thing is... if we look to be getting some decisions our way, it won't be long until the pendulum swings back and the results are going against us again.

Despite some dodgy things in our favour on Sunday, the ref and his officials were still very poor and if those things start to go against us, we can feel very aggrieved if it costs us the chance of promotion.

Chris Coleman is a miserable arse anyway... served him at the hotel once. Half pint of Guinness drinking puff.

PS: Wasn't there, but Morgan gets the MOTM for me as captain of a winning team and his pumped up interview following the match. As long as he continues to lead and keep his head, we've at least got a fighting chance of promotion.

 

[S64 Blade]

It's good to see us break a new record away from home too! Let's hope we can add to it further.

Was it a good interview? Anywhere where I can hear it?

 

[keenzy]

Morgan was awesome again.
O'toole was getting stuck in well.. think him and monty in the middle will work!
