Cov had 69% of possession and 15 corners to our 2. 

They must be absolutely gutted...

well done lads

COYR!!

They also had 1 shot on target to our 3 and I can't recall them having a clear cut chance all game.

Yes, Cov outplayed us in the middle of the pitch in the first half, but the game ended up being far far less one sided than many are making out.

Get in.
 

I really don’t know what to make of that. Very strange. I get we have injuries but by god the first 40 minutes was an utter mess. We looked all over the place. 
Once we finally changed it, we looked alot more organised and for all their possession they didn’t look like scoring. Why not just look to pass the ball around. We just kept hoofing it to their centre half’s to recycle possession. @Davefevs there must be some pretty poor passing stats there. I can’t remember the last time we struggled to pass the ball. If I was a Cov fan I’d be fuming with my team after that. Dickie ( who looks a great signing) and King standouts. Knight made a big difference.

A massive win but painful to watch.

Patched up Pearson’s reds beating a Mark Robins side with them having 1 shot on target, Steve Lansdown won’t sleep tonight

A manager who’s been backed to the hills to one who can’t even get offered a new contract who has us joint 6th. 

 Edit a point short it seems.

We set up completely wrong first half but credit to pearson for changing it just before halftime, maybe if he didnt we wouldn't of scored.

 

Dickie was quality, sykes is a warrior, pring shaky at times but did great in the end.

To be this close to the playoffs with the amount of investment we have had these past years is a credit to pearson and the backroom staff.

Up to the change in formation we were pretty much being overrun.

Afterwards, we controlled them pretty much and restricted them to very little in the way of chances. In fairness we did not trouble them much either, but we were a goal up and it was up to them to make something happen.

I don’t think any neutral watching us is going to think we are about the take the table by storm, but get some players back and who knows, we might be able to push on a bit.

I just can’t imagine where we would be in the league with this squad without Nige.

Do wake up and smell the coffee, SL, before some other club seeking promotion offer Nige a contract he can’t turn down.  Very poor managerial skills, but hey ho it is what we have come to expect.

Even second half, except for their late pressure. Not a great show but a very good win, especially given our injury situation.

Dickie MOTM but Pring was excellent too, good performances by King and Sykes, more hard work than quality from the others, included Yeboah, who did some clever tackles.

For once a good refereeing too.
