We wish 

[Saint NL]

I have the Coventry commentary and one of them is called Oggy. It's not the legendary goalkeeper from my youth is it?

With his notepad in one pocket and cards in the other, sadly it's the second one

[trousers]

Larin close!

[obelisk]

Larin close.

[Lighthouse]

Well worked corner, unlucky.

[Saint_clark]

Larin should have scored 

[Edmonton Saint]

Damn Larin. I could have scored That

[pingpong]

I'm going to say it early, we need to take manning off. His positioning is horrific, its already clear he is on an off day.

More of a half chance IMO

[Saint NL]

Just to add fuel to the Matsuki pronunciation arguement, one commentator is saying "Mat-suki" and the other is saying "Matski"

[Patches O Houlihan]

Matsuki - our unexpected silent assassin at corners. Shame Cyle couldn't take advantage

The former was close to perfection

Looked like he was held back…so why no penalty

Damion Downs is scoring that

[goodymatt]

Larin has to score, his chest control just a bit heavy so he was stretching. 

[Saint NL]

Bree still wearing the bandage from midweek. Good to see he's fit to start

[goodymatt]

Pretty decent start from Saints

[Saint NL]

Matsuki has started well tbf.

Everything down his side so far

The same Damion Downs that would've still been rooted to the edge of the box and nowhere near the ball to have a chance in the first place...? That Damion Downs...?

It is!

They were talking about Tonda being 32 and Oggy says at that age he still had 10 years of playing time ahead of him 😂

[macca155]

Good to see the midfield bossing the game for once. Bragg's calm approach really helps us

[Saint NL]

These linesman need glasses

I’d settle for Alicia Vikander too, if I had to. It’s just a shame the movies were more about daddy issues than actual historical fantasy and action.

His postioning and movement is so good the rest of our players can’t pick him out, that’s the issue

Yep, Bragg playing well 

[die Mannyschaft]

We have a better xG if that means anything. 0.03 v 0.29.

Saints doing better than I expected. So far!

I just watch the Angelina Jolie ones on mute tbh, much more enjoyable.

[Saint NL]

Not a great tackle by Azaz

I always thought he was one of those players who are at their best against the ball, and in his case even better when he was nowhere near it.

[Saint_clark]

Nowhere near as bad as the commentators are making out, implying it should be a red and saying he couldn't win the ball while the replay shows him clearly getting the ball first.

[John Boy Saint]

Wasn’t that bad he just swept him - reaction was theatrical 

[Saint NL]

Peretz just wasted a minute or two there 😂

[macca155]

Bit of needle in this game, Saints not getting pushed around for once

[Saint_clark]

Just now, Saint NL said:

Absolutely taking the piss, I love him. Reminds me of Boruc.

[obelisk]

Larin needed some support there.

[Saint_clark]

Fuck, great ball and run but Larin should have hit that right footed across the keeper rather than cut in.

[Saint Matty 76]

Not doing badly but feels like there could be a lot of space for Edozie and Fellows later.

[trousers]

Good first 20 mins from us. Keep it up boys!

[Saint NL]

Unlucky, Larin just ran out of steam 

[macca155]

Oh dear Larin .... he had no idea what to do

[Saint NL]

Coventry crowd are getting frustrated already, shows what a solid start we've had

Fellows will cut inside and head to where there is no space
