Just have to say what an enjoyable game that was. Tony Mowbray has got them motivated.Cov reminded me of ourselves; played the game, pure and simple; nothing dirty or trying to cheat. I think had they had their loanee from Newcastle they may well have snatched the game with that late pressure. Credit to us for seeing that spell out and finishing the stronger.
I have Coventry and Chesterfield as the team's to beat in our league after the first round of games. Having seen Cov now I can't see them not making the play offs.
I have nothing against Coventry. I wish them all the best and look forward to the game at the Ricoh. |  |

They must love coming to Spotland in cup competitions.  |  |

2/2 defeats at Spotland in the league as well. |  |

Coventry were a great team to watch last night at times, and the back end of the second half they were all over us and had fantastic pace. If they play like that on a regular basis, they'll get play-offs at least.
And we still beat 'em  |  | | |

There was a great stat doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday saying that Cov hasn't finished in the top six in any division since 1970. They must beat that this season. |  | | |

Coventry responded well after being given the run around for the first thirty minutes. I was particularly impressed with their number 11, think it was O'Brien, he was subbed later in the game.
Second half they continued to improve and we began to look a bit weary, hitting too many long balls to the Black Pearl didn't help because we kept losing possession
Then came Extra Time and we found our second wind and started moving the ball again. Overall we deserved the victory but Coventry have a bit of class about them that's for sure. Tudgay showed some lovely touches and their young goalkeeper also deserves a mention.
An enjoyable game and also a mention to the Coventry fans who turned up in decent numbers and gave their team plenty of vocal backing. [Post edited 12 Aug 2015 6:51]

We've only lost once to Coventry since 1920!
Some might say Spotland is a bit of a 'fortress'..! |  | | |

I also wish Coventry well.
I agree with their Newcastle loan added to that side they will be pushing top 6 for sure.
Put us under immense pressure last 20.
Michael Flatley ( who missed his pen ) looked a good un too. |  | | |

Seriously, is that true? Fair play to their fans for keep turning up that is hideous.
Can you imagine how depressing that would be? | | | |

We've got a pretty good idea!
tbf there's a difference between our record between about 1974 - 2000* and Coventry being in the top division and winning the FA Cup in '87
*may have included a top six finish but mainly bottom half/rock bottom |  |

Cheers ddb, and the odd thing is - it wasn't depressing at all!
Out of adversity has arisen a unique spirit among Daleys that exists to this day, worth more to those of us who've lived through it and emerged into the sunlight than any amount of "bought" success. | |

Don't think anyone didn't join in - from what I could see, the whole ground did. |  |

We might all belong to different clubs, but really we're all part of one big club.
Except Man. United obviously!
Personally I thought Cov's team and fans were excellent. Decent people. Although Mowbray seems to have become an embarrassing Grandad! |  |
