Coventry City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Thats 4 windows

Windows on the brain!

Based on Meslier probably tipping that chance onto the bar (until I see different), he's getting a 10/10 in the ratings today

Didn't touch it did he?

But even if he didn't the first save was crucial and brilliant

[DDB220]

2 brilliant saves from Illan MOTM

Showed his class tonight that throw to James was ala Southall.

DF appears to have got it spot on by standing by him.

[ElKapitan]

Funny how many refs are reaction at this level. Seem to cave in more to the crowd and player protests.

Yeah don't know what it is, think its the inconsistency between refs that gets me going one week a shoulder barge is a yellow other week can't buy a yellow for either side.

That last goal especially riled me.... Officials are advised to give doubt to the benefit of the attacker.... Kept his flag down for 30 seconds so obviously didn't have clear sight of it so went against the offical advice and bowed to player pressure (again refs are advised to caution anyone but the captain who shows dissent like bogle was carded for against Cardiff).

Something needs to be done for all teams/fans.... Genuinely think poor levels of officiciating contributes to crowd trouble (imagine if they'd have come back after those decisions)

But for Mes it might be 2-2.

Two fantastic saves at crucial times, Dave

Meslier has kept us in the game tonight, after our forwards had messed up so many times.

[Finnatic]

WOuldn't be surprised if our xg tonight was higher than it was against Cardiff. Was dreading Coventry nicking an undeserved goal and turning the match on its head. Gave me vibes about the Derby play-off second leg when we were in absolute control and didn't kill it off.

Yes, it had those vibes but it really shouldn’t have been like that.

[DDB220]

I do not like the Gruev Firpo combo on the left when we were pressed in the second half. They are so sideways to each other that they invited pressure on a few occasions.

[DDB220]

well if he missed it he shouldnt call it?

I think the ref saw it and asked the linesman if he was offside. Bit shambolic tbh.

We all know the panic that would have ensued had we conceded.

[Sean_Nile]

The corners were mostly woeful. Let’s just all admit that Rothwell is the best we have. As I have said many times the bar isn’t high.

it seems that is only by repeating something often enough that people will learn that only
3-5% of corners result in a goal.

If you can appreciate that then you won't be worried when opponents get a corner, and you won't be disappointed when we don't score from a corner.

You can relax if can internalise that simple fact.

Their keeper kept them in the game more though, despite the error for our second.

[AcrossThePondAsh]

You always could see right through me Ash

Not sure what you expected, me being such a glass-act and all

[Finnatic]

The ball was already over the line for Firpo’s “goal”.
Dallas on LUTV has just mentioned the penalty we should have had too.

[DDB220]

To be honest we did make it rather easy for him on a number of occasions.

5.73 against Cardiff, 2.70 tonight apparently. Felt like more than 2.70 though!

[GreennWhite]

And to think we got another good result away from home after not bringing in any new players in the transfer window, shouldn`t allowed

[Sean_Nile]

Agree the lob from James and blocking the shots from Piroe and Ramazani... Still their defence was like a sieve so many holes in it. Countless times James, Solomon, Aaronson, and Bogle tried to do a Cardiff by crossing across the box, but it just didn't happen for them, and James being frustrated that the crosses were failing tried to go it on his own with speculative potshot only to fail at each attempt... but never the less a good win.

Who need a good transfer window?

Dont be sill-y

Several of our chances seemed to add up to more than that

Wonder how they score Bogle's goal - technically it should have been in the keeper's hands and a 0.0 xg.

Or drink a lot of Guinness.
