Season 21/22 The Official Coventry City vs Swansea City Match Thread

[Allergic2Hoof]

Good stuff. A tidy little watch this and both teams capable of winning it.

Need to get Grimes and particularly Patterson into the game more. There is so much space in the middle of the field between their defence and deep midfielder. Quick turnover or side to side and there are holes everywhere.

Will be amazed if we don't get caught by one of those balls over the top mind

those deluded twats in the east think they can play this way with morrison and flint hahahahha

Only a couple of weeks ago loads of our own people thought we couldn't play this way with Bennett.

theyve never played this way and will struggle with it big time.

Excellent game of football this. Sometimes I wish we were capable of a little bit of shape mind. Next goal probably wins it and it could go either way. I’ll be honest I didn’t expect them to be as good as this. They are quick and inventive, a right handful. So are we, other than being slow and inventive. Going to be a great season to watch.

OK, got the match now!
It started just in time for me to see their goal. GRRR! Poor defending. Three blokes round the scorer, not one of them attacked the ball.
This playing out from the back is giving me kittens. We always look capable of giving away possession and a soft goal. Still, it's a million times better than Cooperball.

Yep Bennett defo has the look of a walking red card tonight

Cracking game of football.

Not that you'd know it from the Swans TV commentary. It's like they're commenting on a chess match. BBC Wales is much better but then they're ahead of the stream.

Watching on ifollow, Coventry commentators, but very enjoyable. They are enjoying the match despite being behind and giving fair commentary.

To be fair he's always like it! if he knows he hasn't got the pace he fouls.

I wasn't convinced Bennet would fit in to a ball playing backline, even moreso Cabango, but fair plair this manager is doing it - either getting it out of them or getting them playing above themselves. Even if we crash and burn RM has given us more moments in 15 games than Cooper gave us in two playoff seasons. This team is good enough to get promoted, probably best team in the Championship at this time. Well done Russ.

More goals in this 2 teams giving it a go.

 

[WalterBoyd]

Good first half, would have been fantastic without that corner.
Would love it if we just hoofed it sometimes, if only to prevent my palpitations.

Cracking game for the neutrals mind.

First goal Coventry have scored from a corner this season according to their commentators.

Hamer has been busier than I would like him to have been. We are playing a very high line.

 

[bakajack]

Christ that first half was played at a hundred miles an hour.
Ntcham and Laird are forming a better and better understanding as games go by.

Only because the players have ignored him, or changed his approach, or stats, or wibble.

"Like a Rocky film" is how the 1st half has been described by Andy Robinson.

Let's hope the 2nd half is not like "The Champ"

Same here. Cracking game, I just wish Grimes would hoof it sometimes when he's around our box when defending, a bit of a liability.

Obviously a mutiny. Players have been reading Dimi's posts and decided Copperbal was order of the day.
