hinsleburg Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just having a glance at their forum and quite a few of them saying they were better than us today, did they have their live streams mixed up or something? Whilst they looked reasonable on the ball they were never a threat and whilst we weren't good we certainly looked better than them I thought?

And Its Smith Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 They were appalling, we were decent. Hence, we won! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBS14 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 they were the worst team i have seen this season, shocking absolutley no threat up front - i cant see how they have even got their results of late - very poor team - they will go down - how the bloody hell they can say they were the better side today, very odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Must be the cricked necks causing them memory issues after so many punts to Platt. They were awful. A good team wouldve battered them today. We arent good but we were certainly better. I expect theyl be saying they were loud next!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcbs20 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 They were ok in the first half but did'nt cause us to many problems. They fell to pieces in the seconded half we looked fresh and up for it where as they looked dead on there feet hence with only 10 men we scored a brillant third goal.

screech Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 One thing I would say is, in the first half they were a lot better at keeping the ball than we were. Our passing was shocking first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderArmyy Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 had decent 10 minute spells. but a real scrappy game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hippo Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Think a better side could have put a few past us today as Cov did get into a few decent positions but had no decent delivery and were crap up front. But hey, you can only beat whats put in front of you and we did, so I'm happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I thought they were far from one of the worse teams we have seen this season, and played some good football at the back and in the middle, albeit in hindsight they did not create many chances in the final third. And yes, their fans were a credit. A decent support and good noise, even before they scored. Come on chaps, enjoy the win, but credit is due. I would rather the likes of Forest or Barnsley went down instead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Been reading their forum off and on the last week, and there are in fairness very few saying that - more suicidal, and indeed much like OTIB last week! http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/15962-Terrible-just-terrible-Ratings...-Ha What a difference a week makes.

MichaelRobartes Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I looked on their live match thread earlier and most were very downbeat and down on the performance. Have to say, they were as bad (and maybe even worse) as us at our worst this season. First half I thought was fairly even, we perhaps shaded it and were unlucky to go in trailing. Second half they had one or two little spells but were definitely second best. Today will have been hard for them and they'll be absolutely gutted. I can't imagine how I'd be feeling now had we lost, it was massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talk Of The Town Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 When you say quite a few. Thats all it is. Majority of the forum is slating their performance and saying they werent good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 First goal set their destiny. One on top they played some decent football at the end of first half but once we equalised it was only going to end in one way despite Platts chance late on.

cityexile Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Would still much rather Millwall went down mind - and with them still to play at Coventry, its not over yet for them. Must say, they are more convinced that it is over that many of us are - they win at Burnley and its all back in the melting pot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 They were not that bad. Personally thought Millwall at our place were worse than them. To simply claim 'they will go down' is so naive. If they had a decent strike force they would have caused us problems. They were a lot more organised than we were up until we scored where the game naturally became more open.

Portland Bill Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 One thing I would say is, in the first half they were a lot better at keeping the ball than we were. Our passing was shocking first half. Totally agree, I thought they were far better than us first half. They tired in the 2nd half, Del's 6 changes to there 2 from Saturdays game made all the difference IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 TBH their sh!t defence gifted us our first two goals. They were about as well organised as Rangers' accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just having a glance at their forum and quite a few of them saying they were better than us today, did they have their live streams mixed up or something? Whilst they looked reasonable on the ball they were never a threat and whilst we weren't good we certainly looked better than them I thought? Coventry were OK in the first half and were lucky for us to score their goal. In the second half they really started to flag as a team in the pouring rain while our redz just grew stronger. I think the manner of our victory had a lot to do with the huge home crowd that we've lacked at all previous home games. £10 adult entry for the upcoming West Ham and Barnsley games is a must to get the vocal support for the team.

The only way is up.... Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Clive Platt is built like a brick sh*thouse but was about as physical as my nan. I didnt think they looked dangerous and we bossed them big time cond half. Credit to the Del for the number of fresh legs we had in our team as this was the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Cov were organised at the back, wide open in midfield and toothless in attack. When I saw our team lineup with Killa and Skuse in midfield my heart sank. But they had no one in midfield so Killa ran the show. At the back, lacking confidence from a poor season , as they tired they just hoofed it. Up front Platt's been around for such a long time. I remember him rearranging Tony Butler's smile in the tunnel (allegedly) some 6 or 7 years ago. But no real threat. All in all I can see why they are where they are but I've seen worse at the Gate. Pompey for example. For what its worth, I'd rather see Milwall or Forest go down before Cov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Cov were organised at the back, wide open in midfield and toothless in attack. Yer joking mate. They had three men who could've tackled Bolassie but they all left it for the others. One looked like he lifted his leg to let the shot pass under it!

Lrrr Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Didn't think Cov were that organised at all, they went through 5-10 min patches where they played well and got hold of the ball otherwise offered little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 They are marginally worse than us as we are of Forest. Table has it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
