MATCH DAY THREAD: Coventry City v The Might Blades

[seanbeenstattoo]

Loads of possession and fuck all goal threat in reality.
We really need to create convertable chances and get games won.

 

[Sneinton Blade 1952]

Notice who made the goal?

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Might Blades? (Mightn't Blades?)

Cracking finish from Billy, but all a bit stodgy so far. Boring 1-0 will do fine though.

 

[ucandomagic]

Fleck and Coutts invisible in first half.

Thank heavens for Billy's Ready, Fire, Aim mentality.

UTB

 

[Smirth]

This is shaping up to be a real slog so will just be happy to get away with 3 points tonight, regardless of the score or performance.

Must be a horrible game to play in, an empty stadium, protests and that fucking whistling. I've muted my TV, can't imagine how insufferable it must be to be there.

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

Hopefully Wilder will reinforce the mindset required to get a good win in these bizarre conditions. More attacking intent needed from Fleck,Coutts and Duffy. Also the back 3 need to be much more assertive when under threat.

Here in France following it on BBC updates this and Sheffield forum

 

[GrayBlade]

Let's be honest, it must be a nightmare trying to focus in that bloody atmosphere and not knowing what's coming next onto the pitch..balloons or fans.

We definitely need an early second and it'll kill them off.

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

This a fucking mess and we need to fucking focus.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Can this Ref only give fouls one way.
We are playing badly but this ref is a joke.

 

[Caseh]

This half has been last season quality.

 

[Stretch]

Absolute gash this second half. So many mistakes in possession and just really sluggish. I accept that the atmosphere isn't helping but it doesn't seem to be affecting the Cov lads. Come on Blades ffs or they will win this and it wouldn't be undeserved either!

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Lethargic, slow build up. Giving the ball away so much in the middle. It's not been great, but still 15 minutes to grab a winner yet... or lose it.

 

[Jonboy60]

Need new blood to tweek the side in January.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Referee in the bowels.

 

[Barnette]

Its all about Coventry isn't it.......bless them..............we're just trying to win a match............but poor old Cov - let them do what they want.

 

[Geezer]

Av it!

 

[loyalblade95]

get in sharp

 

[Barnette]

Serves Coventry and their grotty fans right.................however angry they are - that shouldn't have happened

 

[Blade58]

Well that were a bit shit

But guess what? Don't give a fk. GTFI

 

[Geordie Blade]

Cliche alert, but... that's the kind of win that promotion teams grind out. Bolton and Scunthorpe will have been so frustrated watching that.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Not good, but in circumstances like that, just get the points and go home. Job done.

 

[Blade58]

Too many players not on their game tonight I thought

Defence looked a bit slow

Duffy and Fleck not at their best

Thank God for Billy tonight

A word for Lavery who I thought had some bad luck with the two efforts that hit the post

 

[BushBlade]

Got away with that one. Another three points in the bag.

 

[Blade58]

Its all about Coventry isn't it.......bless them..............we're just trying to win a match............but poor old Cov - let them do what they want.

I said same

That fkin Birtles gets on my tits

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Cheers for't pitch invasion, Cov

 

[Smirth]

Hands down that was the best win of the season so far IMO.

Horrible conditions and atmosphere to play in, I've never seen a match like it.

All that mattered tonight was that we won, forget the performance, it really doesn't matter in the slightest as that was a unique match and there won't be another like it this season. Proud of the bottle shown to keep going and get the all important win.

 

[Basegreen_Blade]

I was bouncing around the living room like a mad man when the winner went in. Such an important goal so late in the game. To win a game like that with the atmosphere as it was and not playing very well at all speaks volumes about the character in the team. I'm absolutely buzzing. Roll on boxing day!

 

[metalblade]

Well that serves the cunts right hahahahaha

 

[cahill]

What happened with the crowd, got no access to TV or radio ? Me, not them

Well done Blades
