  • It’s Lyle Taylor’s match so far - playing as a Swan Vesta :wink:
  • Now let’s put it to bed early doors.
  • Half times

    Pompey 0 Gills 2
    Peterborough 0 Barnsley 2
    Donny 0 Fleetwood 2
    Barnsley 0 Sunderland 1
  • The order of posting is so jumbled... but

    Yes?

    I think we just scored 3 penalties.
  • A lot can happen in 45 minutes but if results stay as they are this afternoon, this could be a good day for us.
  • We are playing really well, should be more than 1 up. Stonewall penalty and was well taken by Taylor. Fosu looking unplayable at the moment. Special mention to Sarr who is looking solid at the back and played a few cracking through balls. COYRs!
  • We seem to be getting our fair share of Pens for a change, how many is that so far, 4? Indication of a more potent strike force?
  • Thoroughly deserved HT lead, had the better possession and chances.

    Liking Cullen's work across half-back, putting in a decent shift and the starting point for most of our attacks.

    Lyle, Karlan, and Fossy operating very nicely across the front, rotating positions to make it difficult for the defence.

    Another penalty! Have you ever known a season where we've had this many? It's normally doughnuts across the entire season!

    Come on boys, build on the first half performance and dish out a battering in the second half.
  • Glad we got that goal just before half time. We had had the majority of the play first half but Cov weren’t without threat.

    The longer that went on without us scoring, the more I was a expecting a late winner for the away side.

    Hopefully we can kick on second half and get another to put it to bed.

  • Joe Aribo appeared to be hit by an object thrown from the Coventry end during the goal celebrations.
  • Very good first 45 - midfield were excellent. Pity we're only 1 up.
  • My broadband is fastest... anyone want the Grand Prix result?
  • Half times

    Pompey 0 Gills 2
    Peterborough 0 Barnsley 2
    Donny 0 Fleetwood 2
    Barnsley 0 Sunderland 1

    Sorry Bradford 0 Sunderland 1
    Also now Donny 0 Fleetwood 3
  • Not a bad first half... Charlton have dominated yet not in the fashion of the Plymouth game the other week - Coventry have been bit rubbish going forward and Steer hasnt really been tested

    All our play is going through Aribo whilst Solly and Sarr are standouts at the back (Dijksteel is playing better than Tuesday).

    About to become even more unpopular yet wonder about Fosu in this formation; the opposition seems to just crowd him out to stop him running and them (and so be effective) whereas having Clarke or Ward in that role would be better as they have the ability to pass it around and open up space
  • We’ve looked better if not comfortable. Taylor struck the penalty very well.

    We’re actually actively trying to get the ball in the penalty area for a change instead of fannying about with it 40 yards from goal. Amazing what can happen when you actually try hard to score.
  • We’re trying to play every move starting with Pearce or Sarr and it’s letting Coventry organise themselves and close our plays down. We need to be spraying more balls out for taylor and grant to chase down

    Hate when they Fanny about.

  • Always ends in a CockUp.
  • Watching on iFollow it looks more like a flat 4-4-2. We’ve passed the ball well but the front two weren’t involved enough for most of he half. We missed a couple of decent chances but a lot of the play was going out wide, especially down the left where Solly is more comfortble on his right. The strikers started to see more of the ball which led to Taylor winning and scoring the penalty.
  • Up to 6th at half-time, behind Donny on GD, 6 pts off the top.

    Build up the GD in the second half and set us up for a post-international break charge up the table.
  • Steer just got away with losing the ball on the ground.

    He was fouled.
  • Thought Reeves had a good half .
  • There are times when shorts and t-shirt are acceptable.

    Today's crossbar challenge is an example of when it isn't.
  • We look good going forward. Lots of diagonals from Reeves to Solly but they might wise up to that second half.

    Still giving it away easily at times and can look shaky at back - slippery pitch.

    Hope we can last the pace and build on this.
  • Up to 6th as it stands and 3 points off second place. Come on you Reds!!!!
  • Steer just got away with losing the ball on the ground.

    He was fouled.
    Yes, this ref gave it but not sure all would have done.
  • Thought Reeves had a good half .

    Yeah he was great. Exactly what we've needed too - someone to expand our range of passing
