Coventry City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Cjay]

Coventry didn't threaten until they were 2 down. Imagine it might have been much tighter at the back from them if we hadn't scored early.

I think the plan was contain first 20 or so minutes then look for mistakes.

They had less than 30% possession first 15 minutes we'd only had 2 shots to 1.

They weren't threatening but we weren't creating, familiar away theme.

After the 1st goal they had no choice but to push out (the possession went up massively and gaps appeared).

1st goal forced them to change probably earlier than they planned.

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

The push on Aaronson in his back as he was just about to shoot was also a disgrace.

[1964white]

8 wins in our final 15 games takes us to 90 points.

For now, looks like Farke likes Gruev for the away games and Rothwell for the home games.

4 top choices in midfield pushes Ampadu into center back. Looks like it will take an injury for Strujik to get back in.

Struijk comes back in when Farke is happy with his fitness. The triangle of Rodon Amps and Struijk is quality. Tanaka and Rothwell will dovetail. Not sure Gruev will get many starts tbh when Struijk is match fit.

[1964white]

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

Yes he did, Finn however our finishing was poor with shots being fired straight at their keeper.

The push on Aaronson in his back as he was just about to shoot was also a disgrace.

Aye the ref bottled that one. BA does tend to exaggerate when he does down and refs will know this. But that was a clear one for me, defender stepped across him and was no where near the ball.

Pretty sure Strujik will start the cup game

[1964white]

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

Dovin's stops wasn't of the high quality of Meslier's two brilliant saves.

[Jaydog]

Time for a kipper, I'm starting to flounder.

I need to sea my bed.

Thats a shoal of puns.

[1964white]

I need to see the Meslier save again. Bit Gordon Banksy.

Very much so, great comparison, Jay.

[AcrossThePondAsh]

How transparent can you be, it's clear he's fishing for compliments.

And away we go again with the fish puns.

Very nice pivot, CD

Dont be sill-y

Still haven't seen a team that have impressed me against us.

Fwank's comments....

You can see why Leeds are at the top of the league, they are a strong team.

Still haven't seen a team that have impressed me against us.

Watford and Sunderland were the toughest opponents in the games I've seen.

[1964white]

Watford and Sunderland were the toughest opponents in the games I've seen.

Both had 20/25 minutes good periods, but they weren't sustained performances.

I have to say I fear Sunderland at ER more than the Blunts game at Bramall Lane.

[1964white]

Bogle is like an extra winger in this Leeds team.

Bielsa would have loved him.

[SG90]

Piroe now second top scorer in the division, behind Borja Sainz. Not bad for someone who can't score

[SG90]

Blunts will park the bus and try nick a goal, whereas Sunderland will be more open. I see it being similar to the Boro game and we might need a late goal to win it.

[SG90]

Bayo got a straight red on Saturday, so that should rule him out of Tuesday's game.
