Bees v Coventry Reports

[wanderer paul]

Final point for Smiffy, who won the burgers as that thread seems to have vanished!!!!!!!!

Ska Bee guessed 5432. closet to 5415. message has been sent on behalf of Smiffy.

The tempo dropped a touch in the second half but the half chances kept coming........and being missed by Hayes. In his defence he linked well with CD outside the box and kept getting into the positions to miss. There is a good player in there somewhere. Things might have been very different if he hadn't missed that penalty against Yeovil.

.

I thought exactly that when he missed the penalty. I was hoping it wasn't going to become a millstone around his neck. If he had scored that he could be on 4-5 goals by now and we would be well pleased.

A word for Dave - I thought he had a really good match.

Can we ease off on the shiny new sprinklers that I assume were responsible for our lot going arse over tit numerous times in the first half?

Someone said earlier that we assumed their goal scorer was offside and eased up, letting him in. I thought there were a number of occasions last night when we didn't play to the whistle and could have been caught out.

Unfortunately he didn't and the rest is as they say history posing Uwe a bit of a conundrum. CD - a hard working, pacy striker who can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo if he has any time to think about it and Hayes- who either isn't fit as some suggest, not up to it (difficult to believe given his overall career record) or undergoing a major crisis of confidence. No pressure on young Spencers shoulders then!

New ground, biggish club. sh*te i reckon , they only took 700 to Swindon on a sat, now that is poo. Why would Champions League make any difference ? If you support a team enough to follow them away why would you stay in to watch someone else play ?

Don't disagree, but would point out that this is a very depressed club. Since relegation from the Premiership, they haven't finished higher than 11th in the Championship, they are near the bottom of Div One this season. Their fans have really had very little to cheer about for a long time.
I can't believe how soft this division is this season. Take away Sheff United and their superior resources and there really is nothing in this division. We could walk this with a striker like McGoldrick.

 

[West Wilts Bee]

Just like to add you stayaway fans are missing some fantastic football from the bees, and I do not mean the fans that suffer bad health, and the fans that cannot afford to go. 50years of supporting this club, and it is the best football I have ever seen fron the bees.. No point in moaning at Uwe cos he aint far off it. It was a pleasure doing the 200mile round tripand getting home at midnight. Hope the powers that be tie up Logan , Forshaw and Forrester on long contracts, get in there first, I've said it before and I say it again. Agree with most of what has been said, but what a pleasure watching this quality team that play at GP. Well done boys you do the club proud.

Good to read that,hoping to be at GP this Saturday.

McGoldrick aside from looking like he was carrying timber (he wasn't the only one in their side) looked a class act and the only oppo player I've seen at GP this season who I'd like to see playing for us.
He was deceptively quick, first touch like Deon Burton and happy to shoot on sight in or out of the box.
However, putting it in perspective he should be decent at this level seeing as Coventry paid a mill for him and Cody McDonald who was on the bench until last 10 cost them half that so no guess point in banging on that we should be signing players like that.

 

[King John]

Yes but I am not a Clayton fan but he has found his position on the wing and not centre forward

 

[King John]

Donaldson is a winger not a goalscorer as he misses too many chances but played well on the wing last night

 

[NorthamptonBee]

As I am am away, I have a pm telling me that I was quoted a lot on Beesplayers, do I need to get a solicitor?

 

[Markybee]

lol...its gets bit desperate John when you need two posts, saying basically the same thing, to get your point over.

No you haven't (get glasses)
No you weren't (we're not that short and desperate of material)
&...only if you've got in trouble in Spain

Oh, how cutting.

You sound like KB

 

[TOMOGP]

Don't know if this has been posted yet; but for an impartial take on things Talksport's Moose was at the game and tweeted this about 15mins from the end:75mins Brentford 1-1 Coventry -Bees should've scored at least 4/5- last time I saw something as battered as Cov it was on a plate with Chips

To reiterate live on air this am he said he was at GP last night and watched a very impressive brentford

 

[Herbert]

i thought Coventry was the big one this season.very sad attendance.Coventry's turnout was awful,still made more noise than us though

Midweek and they're rooted at the bottom, real shame a Tuesday night game that has a big effect on the gate.

But it was a tuesday night and they are sh*te. If they were putting in a decent season and looked like bouncing up again they would have filled it. When we went down to D4 we were considered one of the bigger teams, I bet we still took small numbers to midweek games in the midlands when we were crap under butcher. I can't see any reason why a coventry fan would be particularly enthused to travel to a midweek game to probably lose in another depressing way.

because theyre meant to be a big club ?

i thought it got people excited,midweeks

 

[Billy Hunt]

perennial relegation fighters in the top-flight. Done nothing since finally dropping down a division.

Not a big club, in my opinion, but I did expect more than they brought, simply cos of the novelty of their playing at Griffin Park. :shrug:

The away game will be one of our 'bigger' games this season. :thetruth:
VfTB should definitely be starting a 'To those who aren't going to the Ricoh Arena' thread for that one...........

 

[ChrisSmith1992]

Yet you chose him as your man of the match, according to the poll?

lolollol Someone had to for a laugh.

 

[Gwenynen]

Looks as though McGoldrick could be available:

[brundallbee]

He got applause from the New Road which I hope drowned it out. Senseless.

The applause from my side of the Bill Axbey was due to the fact he'd been taken off - at last!

Agree, for the first tfifteen minutes I thought he was going to beat us on his own - he looks like a footballer, he has the set of a footballer, opposition fans worry a bit when he has the ball - that said Harlee had him in his pocket for most of the match - which says a lot for Harlee.

Looked a real good player for Forest and suprised he's not featuring with them.
an intelligent player and scores some very good goals, would be a very good signing.

 

[To Bee Someone]

lolollol Someone had to for a laugh.

Yeah I'm in bits

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

A patchy performance, but we created enough chances to have got 5 or 6, and deserved the 3 points. The good thing about scoring in injury time is that we don't have to suffer watching the team try to hold on for an extended period.

For the first half at least, McGoldrick looked as good as anyone I've seen this season - would have liked us to get him on loan, but cost may be a factor.

 

[Paul O'Brien]

lolollol Someone had to for a laugh.

I thought it might be a repeat of 'Idegate' from a couple of years ago.

 

[ChrisSmith1992]

Cheer up We won the game, what's your problem lol?

Note O'Driscoill's remark about the standard of Division One this season.
The obvious destination for McGoldrick would be Sheff Utd.

 

[To Bee Someone]

None whatsoever. Apart from the fact you slagged off Paul Hayes(which is fair enough, opinion is divided on him as a couple of threads on here show) with nonsensical aspersions and didn't care to explain them.
