Lets try and keep my unbeaten match thread starting run and the teams unbeaten run going.
Us 3 Them 1 - Charlie to score 1st
Feeling quite bullish about this one - both the team and the chances of me getting into the ground 1st time!
What could possibly go wrong!  | | | |  |

The fact that we've named about five different MoMs tells you about our performance in the second half. Truly a job well done.
Only downside is we have to wait 14 days to see this team again. | | | |

Maybe we just have to accept we are a slow to start team. Because we pass it around so well other teams seem to get tired. When we step it up like we can do in the second half both Coventry and Barnsley looked spent. | | | |

I think the players will benefit from the rest and, I don't usually have much time for international or any other type of breaks. | |

Have people changed their mind about Dykes from last season? | | | |

I don't think we played badly first half - both Barnsley and Coventry have flown out of the traps with the high press, fast breaks and lots of attempts on goal. We just need to impose ourselves a bit more first half on teams that do that. | | | |

How did they get away with only one booking?
16 fouls to our 5.
Be interesting to see what Clive makes of the ref. | | | |

Can we start to dream yet? | |

Another thing to bear in mind is that Coventry didn't have a midweek match but we did, which both impacts the amount of rest and the time to prepare, while we played away against Middlesbrough on the Wednesday and Barnsley played at home on the Tuesday, both giving them more rest time and more preparation time. It may make a difference as to how we start out of the blocks. | | | |

Normally I absolutely hate the things but this time I'm delighted for the break ahead of another seven-matches-in-three-weeks sprint up to the start of October.
What a month. End-to-end football, red cards, come-backs galore, injury scares, a "cup run", Rob Dickie, averaging more than two goals per match, miracle goal-line clearances, even a couple of clean sheets in there (God knows how).....and breathe. | | | |

He let them get away with a lot today. Nothing massively malicious just lots of really cynical fouls to stop our flow. A few yellows might have stopped that. | | | |

Same thing happened against Barnsley. They had fifteen fouls to our three and only one extra yellow card (3 to our 2j | | | |

I'm sure that's at least partly true.
If we can see the high-press and early pressure is a weakness I'm sure Warbs can too. Maybe part of the response is to keep calm and tire the b*ggers out.
In the first year of Warbsball you knew we'd let at least one in but we hoped to get two or three back. This year it's more like we're sure we'll get at least one so even if we do go behind it's not the end of the world, and if we can hang in there we'll get two or three (like today and vs Hull) | | | |

I think full dream licences are issued after the 10th match, but daydreaming is allowed now. | | | |

Just got back to brothers and a great win by us today
As I said at HT thought Coventry were really good and when they had that shot right at the start of the 2nd half I thought be happy with the draw and hopefully a clean sheet, but Warbs had another idea
We really played well and no exaggeration we outplayed them the 2nd half
We pushed higher and everyone in the team stepped up. The defence was solid and Dieng was really solid and did everything asked of him
The midfield also upped their game and Willock was a different player on the left.
Chair and Charlie were off a little to be honest
For me the WB were superb. And rarely would I say that they were both MOTM.
But for me I have to eat so much humble pie about Dykes . He was a real handful and took that goal so well. Credit where it is due he looked impressive
Finally the crowd was literally the 12th man, the noise on Barbet goal was fantastic.
Great August and look forward to a better September | | | |

From BBC...
Attendance: 14,774
But they also had a line-up listing Barbet in midfield! | |

Get behind our players, so my opinion stays the same.
In terms of impact, he did have a major one imo. | | | |

Jordy our best today over the whole game, kept us in it early. Dieng very solid and Dykes made a huge difference. Moses very lively going forward but seemed to be the hole Coventry ran into in the first half.
Two other things - the ref must be the founder of the Campaign for Free Kicks from the Right Place. Only idea in his head, ignored people kicking each other.
Real treat to see Coventry in their sky blue rather a generic away kit. Great support too, though the average age looked about 58. | | | |

Said at half time Johansen is playing too deep, second half pushed up 15 yards and ran the show, also Charlie and Dykes together are a real handful.
By the way I'm 66, am I not allowed to go anymore 😠| |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |

I wonder what Robins was thinking when he took Waghorn and Gyokeres off together early into the second half. Coventry were so much weaker without them. Conversely Warburton showed that with his Dykes for Chair substitution that it's utterly irrelevant that I can't see anything in Thomas and Kelman. Warburton can and that's good enough for me. | | | |
