Damn those Sky Blues

By: Stephen | February 21st, 2009

Well, well, it seems like light blue can beat dark blue. And I don’t like that. Coventry beat Birmingham City FC 1-0.

Coventry City (4-4-2): Kieren Westwood; Stephen Wright, Scott Dann (c), Ben Turner, Danny Fox; Leon McKenzie (Jordan Henderson, 55), Aron Gunnarsson, Michael Doyle, David Bell; Clinton Morrison (Freddy Eastwood, 89), Leon Best (Robbie Simpson, 88). Subs (Not Used): Andy Marshall (GK), Guillame Beuzelin.

Goals: Dann (2)

Bookings: None

Birmingham City (4-4-2): Maik Taylor; Sebastian Larsson, Martin Taylor, Liam Ridgewell, David Murphy; Scott Sinclair, Lee Carsley (c) (Hameur Bouazza, 33), Lee Bowyer, Keith Fahey; Cameron Jerome (Carlos Costly, 71), Marcus Bent. Subs (Not Used): Dean Lyness (GK), Damien Johnson, Djimi Traore.

Bookings: Bowyer (foul), Larsson (foul)

Attendance: 22,637 (4,248 Blues fans)

Ok now that we have that out of the way, losing sucks. Having been apart of many losses in my playing life (let’s not overhype me, I wasn’t a star). But the Blues need to go up this year. The Championship is one league too low for them. I know, the fans of the other Championship sides won’t like me saying that, but tough I’m allowed to have my own opinion.

What did our amazing gaffer say after the match: “There’s no doubting we have to be better than that and I certainly thought we would be – I came here full of confidence and optimism that we’d build on the good performance and result against Forest.”

He went further on to say on the club’s website: “We conceded so early in the game that it made life hard for us and it was the kind of goal you don’t want to be giving away – allowing an opposition defender to remain unmarked and finish easily from a corner.”
