They'll be playing for a penalty shootout on Wednesday going to be a frustrating evening
They'll probably park the bus and hope for a smash and grab. A difficult team to break down. I see a 1-0 very hard fought game.

We did a job on their two best players in Hamer and Gyokeres yesterday, so much so that they both were very frustrated and resorted to whinging. Take those two out and they're a very average team.
OPCoventry are definitely not $h1t. They carry some potency up front and are solid at the back and dangerous at set pieces. They have learned to press high and cause a little panic, there will be much more of that on Wednesday. We will need to be as strong as we were today and hope we get one or two breaks. Anyone thinking the tie is as good as ours is much mistaken. Coventry only lost 7 games away from home, we only lost 3 at home, sets it up for a nail biter that hopefully we can overcome.
Bizarre thread. Makes us look pathetic as a fan base with thread titles such as this
In fairness there is one poster (Diego) who had been his biggest critic, but started a thread yesterday calling himself out and admitting he got McNair wrong. I thought fair play, as very few posters are prepared to do that.couldn't have finished 5th if they were. BUT the big thing from today's game for me was that McNair was immense. It got me thinking to all those board expert chicken lickens a few weeks ago saying he was carp, should never play for us again, that he's shot, he's useless etc etc. Haven't seen any of them today for some reason!
Apparently Ex-FLs posts are too nuanced for the likes of me.Bizarre thread. Makes us look pathetic as a fan base with thread titles such as this
Only a very stubborn individual would not have good words to say about McNair yesterday. He has done well for a little while now but yesterday he really was outstanding and deserves the plaudits. Really has earned to keep his place in the team now. Hopefully another great display on Wednesday.In fairness there is one poster (Diego) who had been his biggest critic, but started a thread yesterday calling himself out and admitting he got McNair wrong.

The board is here for folk to express opinions and the strong ones make it tasty.
When outspoken folk put their hands up, then good on them.
We finished 5th under Pulis and we were definitely $h!t!They're nowhere near $hit IMHO, a side who finishes 5th rarely are. They have their limitations like most sides and control their best players and they look a lot more average. But again that could be applied to all teams.
Unsurprisingly plenty on the RTG forum are dismissing both us and Cov as $hit after yesterday's cagey encounter, just us slightly less so, stating that they have nothing to worry about from either team. Which of course is complete ballhooks and I'd like to think that we're a more discerning bunch.
Well I did say "rarely"We finished 5th under Pulis and we were definitely $h!t!
That said, whatever is said on here has absolutely no bearing on Carrick and his team.As Uwefuchs has mentioned this thread has already reached the attention of Coventrys fan forums. This sort of thing can have a nasty habit of biting you on the backside. Lets make sure we do our job and pay the opposition the respect they deserve.
We were **** if you could keep Adama quiet....kinda similar to Coventry being pretty unwatchable if Gyokeres isn't having any joy.Well I did say "rarely"
But even then I wouldn't have described us as "$hit" (though definitely $hit to watch) just boring, tedious, anti-football clods. And a team of clods will have their limitations, which are plain to see! But we were effective at being anti-football clods more often than we weren't.
But did you get it wrong, Diego?Only a very stubborn individual would not have good words to say about McNair yesterday. He has done well for a little while now but yesterday he really was outstanding and deserves the plaudits. Really has earned to keep his place in the team now. Hopefully another great display on Wednesday.
But yeah, if you get something wrong you have to be man enough to admit that.
Who knows, he might even get himself a new deal.
