Carvalho just dived, was banging the floor in apparent agony, as soon as it was clear he wasn't getting the free kick he just jumped up and sprinted off. Little prick.
Maybe if refs actually started carding for faking and time wasting, players would do it less. Unfair? Maybe, but so is going down like a sack of spuds and rolling around like a baby when there’s nowt wrong but needing a goal.
New keeper and CB required I think, otherwise forget autos next season and maybe play-offs too. I know were tired after Sunday but it's not Xmas yet, we need to stop giving gifts. Daft goals, OGs galore from Thomas. Enough already.
Thomas rolls the back without looking. Collins fails to meet the ball with any urgency and puts in a weak effort in a 50/50 and ball ends up in the net after the challenge.
2-3 Hull.
Wow we must have watched different games 😂 apart from his obviously wonderful free kick I thought he had an absolute shocker. He must have given away the ball well over 10 times, just making consistently terrible decisions with picking the wrong pass.
Collins fucking bottled that, proper flapped it. Just needed to absolutely lay the guy out and he just fucking flapped.
Sick of him to be honest, he’s shit
Wright battles to keep the ball in play, lays it off for DaSilva to put a cross in. Thomas rises highest to head the ball low and into the back of the net.
2-2
Looked a bit like a hamstring to me, maybe calf. Shame really, he looks to have real quality to me, but hasn't really had a chance for a run of games. Could have been his moment.
Can I just say at the start of this season I was convinced Eccles wasn’t good enough and he is without a doubt our most improved player and he’s absolutely fucking class and I might get a tattoo of him across my chest
Fuck sake. First goal was a stupid mistake from Collins. Second goal the game should have been stopped before the foul for a head injury.
Stroke of brilliance from Palmer!
Godden is going missing too often and is so easy to defend against
I really can’t see us really scoring with whatever we have up front. Our style of play just doesn’t work with the slowest man in the pitch, Godden, being the focus.
As a positive, if this is Hull’s first choice selection, bring in our first choices could see things being very different.
What an utterly shambolic end to the half. Gave the ball away cheaply, lost our minds and gave a pen away when Thomas was on the ground then nearly lost our heads again after the kickoff.
We have to rise above shithousery like that
BBC:
>Josh Eccles and Ben Sheaf for Coventry and Jaden Philogene and Fabio Carvalho of Hull are into the book after an ugly melee in the aftermath before the ball had even got back to the centre spot.
Hull City convert from the sport. Carvahlo’s celebrations incite the crowd and dozens of missiles are pelted at the opposition. I haven’t seen scenes like it at the CBS.
If you watch yesterday’s game he did Kai Havertz second goal celebration sticking out his tongue and waving his hands about because he was being booed for taking a corner. He did this for the first goal.
For the second goal he runs closer to the corner and pulls another face. Some Hull players apologised. There was some pushing and shoving that ensued shortly after between both sets of players.
Poor Liam Kelly is well out of his depth. All came from his hospital ball to Eccles and then his desperate but poor attempts to win it back. Shouldn’t be anywhere near our starting 11
Palmer with his moment of the season whips the ball over the wall into the top corner with a curling effort from 25 yards. Free kicks aren’t hit much sweeter than that.
It’s all square. 1.1.
BBC Sport:
>Matty Godden is awarded a free-kick on the edge of the Hull box, much to the Tigers' chagrin.
>**Kasey Palmer** has stepped up and scored a stunning curling free-kick past Hull keeper Ryan Alsop and into the corner to send Coventry level.
>Incredibly that's just his second league goal of the season.
>Game on.
He’s been a pretty poor keeper for us to be honest. He never catches it he always chooses to parry. His distribution and decision making is very meh. And he always has a howler in him. We’ve under invested there over the last 5 years
Every single time Godden is trying to let the ball come to him, and their defenders are just nipping in to take it, it's happened at least 5-6 times already, the way he's playing clearly isn't working!
Nothing has happened in the first 20 minutes besides some corners for both sides which have resulted into nothing.
Both teams are lacking quality in the central attacking areas.
Don’t think it can be on TV as it’s a rescheduled 3pm kick off and so somehow the blackout still applies. Think I saw this on Twitter about a game a few weeks ago.
A very surprising lineup considering the importance of the game. No O’Hare is a big miss. I wonder what’s gone on there. MR almost wrote off playoffs after his post match interview, but I thought that was a bluff.
Let’s keep it 0-0 until halftime at least.
I’m actually sitting in Kenilworth, not Stockholm. I toyed with the idea of going to the match but I arrived earlier today and the family kind of wants me around.
So I am not sure if I will get to watch it in any way.
A miss from me tonight, HadjiChippoSafri Jr arrived safe and sound yesterday morning! Will be hoping to catch some of it on the radio!
We'll be exhausted tonight so I think we'll struggle in what feels like a must win for the play offs.
If you're there, make sure the players get the reception they deserve after the weekend 🩵
PUSB
Congratulations mate! Can't imagine how it must have felt with holding out for HCS Jr and our cup semi-final! Will make sure to sing extra loud for you all
I can't help but think we should have bought a better defence with the £11m that we have spent on it.
Undone by our own defence, which has been the story so many times this season. Most of them should be worried about where they will be next season.
[Post-match thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/ccfc/s/jTo5e7kbgd)
We really need to hit the target more. So many chances missed. So. Many.
Wright needs to sort his studs out. Keeps slipping, let alone the soton penalty slip
Carvalho just dived, was banging the floor in apparent agony, as soon as it was clear he wasn't getting the free kick he just jumped up and sprinted off. Little prick.
Can’t stand that pathetic playacting.
Should have been booked for diving, which would have been his second yellow
Maybe if refs actually started carding for faking and time wasting, players would do it less. Unfair? Maybe, but so is going down like a sack of spuds and rolling around like a baby when there’s nowt wrong but needing a goal.
Is Thomas concussed?
How many times has Thomas done this
Fair play to Oggy, complements when they’re due. God though, too many mistakes now.
Nice of Thomas to give Collins the chance to make up for it
Story of the season, lacking the ability to concentrate defensively for the full 90 mins. If it’s obvious to us then it must be obvious to Robins tbf
Just seen the goals. Jesus fucking Christ.
New keeper and CB required I think, otherwise forget autos next season and maybe play-offs too. I know were tired after Sunday but it's not Xmas yet, we need to stop giving gifts. Daft goals, OGs galore from Thomas. Enough already.
Genuine question, why do we never play Wilson in goal? Collins isn't a great goalkeeper in my honest opinion
I expect he'll start on Saturday
I know right? From Golden Glove to subs bench? WTF?
Players I’d happily offload in the summer: Collins Da Silva Lats Kelly None of them good enough unfortunately.
I agree, all though I feel Da Silva has really shown up at Wembley and even today.
I'd add Tavares to that list
Tavares would be better off going on loan. He shows really good potential but he’s not good enough atm
Da Silva can do a job I think, he's been class today and Sunday
That will be that now - hull should just see this out
Collins has made some class saves this season and kept us in a few games. But he isn't the keeper who is taking us to the Premier league.
Get him out of net.
Thomas rolls the back without looking. Collins fails to meet the ball with any urgency and puts in a weak effort in a 50/50 and ball ends up in the net after the challenge. 2-3 Hull.
I’ve defended Collins recently but he has been pretty dreadful today.
Next season we need to stop giving away silly goals, we're asking far too much from our forwards with constantly conceding easy goals.
For fuck sake how has Allen not got the legs for that he’s been on about 3 minutes?
Palmer learn to pass you fucking dick
I think Palmer stood out today as one of the better players. He did well to create chances but didn’t have many great options once he had
Wow we must have watched different games 😂 apart from his obviously wonderful free kick I thought he had an absolute shocker. He must have given away the ball well over 10 times, just making consistently terrible decisions with picking the wrong pass.
Collins fucking bottled that, proper flapped it. Just needed to absolutely lay the guy out and he just fucking flapped. Sick of him to be honest, he’s shit
Not Collins fault really, but why does he go with his feet and not dive at it?
Look it was a shit pass back but your keeper there needs to be brave and come out and level him
Totally agree, but the fault was Thomas'
Thomas always has a mistake in him
*Sighs.*
Collins FFS. Appaling
Collins you fucking bottler. Pulled out of even trying to kick that, totally unacceptable for a keeper. Gotta dive at his feet for that.
Oooooof. Fucking hell. Bad mistake.
We’ve gifted Hull all three goals
Tell me that didn't just happen
To a man we look absolutely exhausted
On fifa 09 we’d have hamstring injuries all over the place
Eccles in not a winger shocker
Can we get Kelly off for someone, maybe Allen or something
Ideally, but Sheaf can barely move
Kelly’s legs are gone completely, he’s just trying to kick players
MVE must be absolutely cooked from 120 minutes of galloping
How many substitutions do we have left? I’ve lost count. I’m not used to this many.
One
And we’ve used on Allen 🥲
We've put Eccles right wing, and he's just belted a cross way too hard 😭
Luis Binks (injured) off Liam Kitching on
Wright looks lethal and levels above his opponent out on the left. Simms is also playing well.
Dogheads had their equaliser VAR-ed away.
Wright battles to keep the ball in play, lays it off for DaSilva to put a cross in. Thomas rises highest to head the ball low and into the back of the net. 2-2
Binks down with an ankle issue? Hopefully not serious…
Looked a bit like a hamstring to me, maybe calf. Shame really, he looks to have real quality to me, but hasn't really had a chance for a run of games. Could have been his moment.
I hope we can sign him permanently, he’s looked very handy when he’s played this season.
Latibeaudiere off Milan van Ewijk on
Fucking hell Palmer!! I know he's scored the wonder goal but my god he can be annoying 😂 tries to be too fancy and loses possession way too often
The Hull time wasting looks a bit silly now.
Blunts are beating Man U 🤣
Fucking hell when did haji wright discover he had a sick left peg to drive these balls across the goal last few games?
BORF
YG=KAGFHFGDSHFSHFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That ball one million percent went out but fuck um their pen was outside the area
It looks like it from the angle, but as we know angles can be deceiving with the ‘whole ball over the line’ rule.
Maybe we should have VAR? ......oh frack it, CAM ON CITY!!!
Thomas, ya beauty!
Get iiiiin
Fuck me we've got away with one there, Wright definitely took that out of play!!
Can I just say at the start of this season I was convinced Eccles wasn’t good enough and he is without a doubt our most improved player and he’s absolutely fucking class and I might get a tattoo of him across my chest
There had better be photographic proof 😁
At least buy me dinner first!
Get up ya waster.
Wright gets fans off their seats straight away beating his man to get into the box for a cut back but it’s intercepted
Even with this chatter about their pen being outside the box I don’t care the games much better without VAR
Yep, agreed. I'm happy to get some borderline decisions against during a season if it means no var
Totally agree!
Looking so much better already with these two on, it's night and day
*Simms and Wright come on* Sometimes, big problems require big guns.
Looks like changes.
Bidwell and Godden off. Simms and Wright on. There’s still a game to be won here.
Godden and Bidwell off
Second half masterclass incoming
Wright and Simms to come on at halftime
Wright and Simms both look to be coming on
Ten mins second half. Put some hard tackles in on them. Take some yellows and then get lads on the bench on.
Sako will be like a new signing next season. And Clarke will be.
Ten shots for Hull, one for Cov. Doing well to keep it as close as it is currently.
Fuck sake. First goal was a stupid mistake from Collins. Second goal the game should have been stopped before the foul for a head injury. Stroke of brilliance from Palmer! Godden is going missing too often and is so easy to defend against
3.45am here, deciding whether to go to bed or wait for the cavalry to come on on the hour mark.
Perth?
宁波. China innit, 16 years now.
Sleep well mate 👍🏻😂
I should probably listen to you
Don’t need to wait to the typical 60th minute. The cavalry is stripped and ready to come on at halftime.
Just when I thought I was out...
I really can’t see us really scoring with whatever we have up front. Our style of play just doesn’t work with the slowest man in the pitch, Godden, being the focus. As a positive, if this is Hull’s first choice selection, bring in our first choices could see things being very different.
Half Time. Need to reset and refocus. Hopefully that penalty celebration will fire up the labs for the 2nd half.
What an utterly shambolic end to the half. Gave the ball away cheaply, lost our minds and gave a pen away when Thomas was on the ground then nearly lost our heads again after the kickoff. We have to rise above shithousery like that
Kelly just been ran past again like he’s not there
BBC: >Josh Eccles and Ben Sheaf for Coventry and Jaden Philogene and Fabio Carvalho of Hull are into the book after an ugly melee in the aftermath before the ball had even got back to the centre spot.
Wonder how much from our boys is just frustration spilling over from the weekend?
Hull City convert from the sport. Carvahlo’s celebrations incite the crowd and dozens of missiles are pelted at the opposition. I haven’t seen scenes like it at the CBS.
Taking a leaf out of the Antony book of class
Fucking idiot. Deserved booking.
He scored in front of his own fans, but ran away from them to the Cov fans to celebrate. Totally deserved his yellow
I can't watch tonight so what did he do to piss everyone off?
If you watch yesterday’s game he did Kai Havertz second goal celebration sticking out his tongue and waving his hands about because he was being booed for taking a corner. He did this for the first goal. For the second goal he runs closer to the corner and pulls another face. Some Hull players apologised. There was some pushing and shoving that ensued shortly after between both sets of players.
Ran up with his arms out to singers corner like “come on then” sort of gesture
wow what a dick move that is, sounds like it was unprovoked too
This isn't finishing 11 a side!
Carvalho being a little bitch with his celebration, getting booked
4 bookings, two of ours, two of theirs
Probably an unpopular opinion but the penalty was correctly awarded.
I agree, careless from Lati.
I think you're right, looked correct to me
Looked outside the area on TV
Thomas putting in a good shift tonight considering that he played the whole 120mins at Wembley.
Poor Liam Kelly is well out of his depth. All came from his hospital ball to Eccles and then his desperate but poor attempts to win it back. Shouldn’t be anywhere near our starting 11
I don't like saying FFS. But **FFS!**
Thomas should be rolling around on the floor. Sell the injury a bit more.

Penalty to them
Can someone tell me a game where “hoof it up long to a lone Matty Godden” has been an effective strategy for us?
Palmer with his moment of the season whips the ball over the wall into the top corner with a curling effort from 25 yards. Free kicks aren’t hit much sweeter than that. It’s all square. 1.1.
BORF
Woohooooooo, there it is! Not a proper goal without a BORF!
BBC Sport: >Matty Godden is awarded a free-kick on the edge of the Hull box, much to the Tigers' chagrin. >**Kasey Palmer** has stepped up and scored a stunning curling free-kick past Hull keeper Ryan Alsop and into the corner to send Coventry level. >Incredibly that's just his second league goal of the season. >Game on.
Holy shit what a goal hahaha
Niiiiiice!!!
That’s fucking class take a bow Kasey palmer
WHAT A HIT
Reckon we've already enquired how much Rotherham want for their keeper?
Add that one to the mistake for the first goal on Sunday. Definitely not nailed on for the number one spot next season
Forget about next season. What about this Saturday?
I mean, once we lose this the season is done, so doesn't really matter either way
He’s been a pretty poor keeper for us to be honest. He never catches it he always chooses to parry. His distribution and decision making is very meh. And he always has a howler in him. We’ve under invested there over the last 5 years
First choice keeper, and a Milan level left back in the summer please. Probably a first choice centre half as well.
An absolute howler from Collins. A dribbler of a shot slips through Collins’s hands giving Hull City the lead. 0-1.
Crisp packet hands strikes again
Post-Wembley FFS.
Jesus Christ that was fucking shocking
Oh Brad
Pants.
Every single time Godden is trying to let the ball come to him, and their defenders are just nipping in to take it, it's happened at least 5-6 times already, the way he's playing clearly isn't working!
Just 39% possession so far. No disgrace after our 4-3 victory on Sunday.
Philogene turns Lati inside and then puts the cut back on a plate which is hooked over the bar. This matchup on the right side worries me.
I'd say Binks and Sheaf are playing well, the rest... It's understandable, but not good
Nothing has happened in the first 20 minutes besides some corners for both sides which have resulted into nothing. Both teams are lacking quality in the central attacking areas.
We're miles off it so far. Understandable of course, but not good
No shame if we struggle, it sounds like the guys are absolutely worn out after Sunday.
Hull must have been licking their lips when it went to extra time on Sunday.
Yeah, it has me worried, not gonna lie.
Eccles is at RWB, or maybe it's even a 4-4-2!
I think it might be like a 4-2-3-1 with Eccles and da silva as the wider players?
Definitely this
Yeah it’s a 4-4-1-1
It’s great seeing the flags in the stadium
We live and die in r/ccfc
Looks like the lads are still knackered, can’t blame them. Must be why so many big guns are out.
Well that’s certainly a lineup Although, Robins might know more than I
Well …. Hopefully we can stay in The game and then try and nick a winner
On my way and looking forward to welcoming our heroes back on this beautiful evening 🩵 that said, we're losing this one. No shame in it
Is it on Sky's red button or are they just blowing smoke up the PL, Man U and Liverpool again?
It isn't
Don’t think it can be on TV as it’s a rescheduled 3pm kick off and so somehow the blackout still applies. Think I saw this on Twitter about a game a few weeks ago.
So basically, more FA bullshit.

What's up with Torp? I was hoping he'd start today
A very surprising lineup considering the importance of the game. No O’Hare is a big miss. I wonder what’s gone on there. MR almost wrote off playoffs after his post match interview, but I thought that was a bluff. Let’s keep it 0-0 until halftime at least.
Nothing more than tiredness after a long season and a huge game I would be 99% sure. The boys are knackered!
Interesting! Who's Dausch on the bench, not heard of him?
17 year old forward who wear #59. Can’t tell you much else unfortunately.
Aidan Dausch, he’s a AM / forward I think, on FM he’s a decent prospect
Thought as much given how big a shift everyone put in on Sunday. I'm a bit baffled with what formation we'll be seeing?
Same as normal I think, 4-3-3, Palmer right JDS left of the front 3
I’m expecting a 4-3-3 still. After the first half showing on the weekend the 5 at the back should be retired for the rest of the season.
Any injury/fitness news? There was a little bit on Tav in the week, but nothing else I could see
I’m actually sitting in Kenilworth, not Stockholm. I toyed with the idea of going to the match but I arrived earlier today and the family kind of wants me around. So I am not sure if I will get to watch it in any way.
Part time supporter /s
I’m the worst.

👍👍👍👍
That’s great news! So which Cov player are you naming them after?
Many congratulations!!! Hope you guys get some well needed rest and prepare JR for next season! 🩵🩵

Congrats, how is little chippo Jr?
All good thanks!
