    Strange

    How the sky sports highlights are picked. Last nights match starts with a Coventry attack, nothing of the first ten minutes total domination by us.Then the penalty incident. Looked like it was all Coventry. If we hadn’t have scored 2 goals we wouldn’t have featured at all!

    Obviously edited by a Cov' supporter. That said I think we rode our luck a bit last night.

    Definite penalty for them (Kipre handball) and I thought BTA was offside. After the officiating debacle at Blues I'll take it though.

    Good job Haji Wright couldn't have finished his tea last night too. Handball notwithstanding Kipre was my man of the match.

    We've got a very tough run of fixtures coming and needed those points in the bag and we can't get John back Swiftly enough.

    COYB 😎 .

    Kipre was outstanding. Could have been a pen. We pushed them hard though. We’ve got a playing ethos going through the whole squad now. I think we will get some good results. I only worry about Leicester and Ipswich tbh. They are the only consistent teams in the league.

    Interesting stats.
    Only two Coventry players reached a score of 7, whereas we had 10 players scoring over 7. These stats show how the players had any influence in the game.

    Asante’s goal did look offside and Kipre, to my mind, was lucky not to give away a penalty. Having said that, we deserved a bit of luck with the decisions that have gone against us this season.

    Was surprised myself when I watched and the clip began with a Coventry attack when we were all over them for opening 15 minutes or so. That said, after the first goal we did sit back and let them press and have the majority of possession when we were a bit lucky not to concede from the chances they created.

    A bit unsure as to whether it was a penalty against us, but however sweet a pass and then strike, must say that I thought BTA was off side. Still, as Albionic points out, after the Blues game maybe it was a bit of karma to even out refereeing decisions against us!

    Over all though, a very pleasing 3 points taken from what was always going to be a tough match. The next run of games will be harder still -and against teams with much better finishing quality than Coventry-but the team spirit and confidence in the squad at the moment will surely help.

    I'm not so sure it was a definite penalty, I saw it as one that could have gone either way. A bit 50/50.

    His arm was down by his side, but it did look like he leaned into it a bit.

    Sorry chap but I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. The only way that was 50/50 is if you add them together and come to 100%; a stonewall penalty. I'd have been fuming if we'd had a penalty appeal for that turned if it were the other way around.
