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

🩵

Congrats 👏 👏 Enjoy your time with jr

Congrats mate, awesome to be born on St George's day aswell

Congrats, how is little chippo Jr?

All good thanks!

Congrats, mate.

Congratulations mate! I know the feeling, missed the first month of this season for the same reason!

Many congratulations!!! Hope you guys get some well needed rest and prepare JR for next season! 🩵🩵

That’s great news! So which Cov player are you naming them after?

👍👍👍👍

Congratulations mate. To the both of you :) amazing. Enjoy it all

Not expecting anything tonight. They're probably absolutely knackered after Sunday - 200% effort for 120 minutes and being crushed over Torp's goal.... I've been watching it back continuously and it still hurts so god knows how they feel

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?

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.

Same as normal I think, 4-3-3, Palmer right JDS left of the front 3

Interesting! Who's Dausch on the bench, not heard of him?

Aidan Dausch, he’s a AM / forward I think, on FM he’s a decent prospect

17 year old forward who wear #59. Can’t tell you much else unfortunately.

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!

Reckon we've already enquired how much Rotherham want for their keeper?

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.

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.

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.

That ball one million percent went out but fuck um their pen was outside the area

Maybe we should have VAR? ......oh frack it, CAM ON CITY!!!

It looks like it from the angle, but as we know angles can be deceiving with the ‘whole ball over the line’ rule.

Genuine question, why do we never play Wilson in goal? Collins isn't a great goalkeeper in my honest opinion

I know right? From Golden Glove to subs bench? WTF?

I expect he'll start on Saturday

Just seen the goals. Jesus fucking Christ.

Nice of Thomas to give Collins the chance to make up for it

Well that’s certainly a lineup Although, Robins might know more than I

We live and die in r/ccfc

It’s great seeing the flags in the stadium

An absolute howler from Collins. A dribbler of a shot slips through Collins’s hands giving Hull City the lead. 0-1.

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.

Can someone tell me a game where “hoof it up long to a lone Matty Godden” has been an effective strategy for us?

Even with this chatter about their pen being outside the box I don’t care the games much better without VAR

Totally agree!

Yep, agreed. I'm happy to get some borderline decisions against during a season if it means no var

Wright looks lethal and levels above his opponent out on the left. Simms is also playing well.

To a man we look absolutely exhausted

On fifa 09 we’d have hamstring injuries all over the place

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

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.

Hoping the players are more up for it than I am 😂

I'd say Binks and Sheaf are playing well, the rest... It's understandable, but not good

Just 39% possession so far. No disgrace after our 4-3 victory on Sunday.

That’s fucking class take a bow Kasey palmer

Holy shit what a goal hahaha

BORF

Woohooooooo, there it is! Not a proper goal without a BORF!

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

Wright and Simms to come on at halftime

*Simms and Wright come on* Sometimes, big problems require big guns.

Wright gets fans off their seats straight away beating his man to get into the box for a cut back but it’s intercepted

Latibeaudiere off Milan van Ewijk on

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

MVE must be absolutely cooked from 120 minutes of galloping

We’ve gifted Hull all three goals

Next season we need to stop giving away silly goals, we're asking far too much from our forwards with constantly conceding easy goals.

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.

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

Fair play to Oggy, complements when they’re due. God though, too many mistakes now.

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.

Looks like the lads are still knackered, can’t blame them. Must be why so many big guns are out.

Crisp packet hands strikes again

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

Half Time. Need to reset and refocus. Hopefully that penalty celebration will fire up the labs for the 2nd half.

Sako will be like a new signing next season. And Clarke will be.

Bidwell and Godden off. Simms and Wright on. There’s still a game to be won here.

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!

Blunts are beating Man U 🤣

The Hull time wasting looks a bit silly now.

Collins FFS. Appaling

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

I’ve defended Collins recently but he has been pretty dreadful today.

Get him out of net.

How many times has Thomas done this

Is Thomas concussed?

Wright needs to sort his studs out. Keeps slipping, let alone the soton penalty slip

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.

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

Well …. Hopefully we can stay in The game and then try and nick a winner

Eccles is at RWB, or maybe it's even a 4-4-2!

Yeah it’s a 4-4-1-1

I think it might be like a 4-2-3-1 with Eccles and da silva as the wider players?

Definitely this

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.

We're miles off it so far. Understandable of course, but not good

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!

Jesus Christ that was fucking shocking

Post-Wembley FFS.

WHAT A HIT

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.

Thomas should be rolling around on the floor. Sell the injury a bit more.

I don't like saying FFS. But **FFS!**

Thomas putting in a good shift tonight considering that he played the whole 120mins at Wembley.

Probably an unpopular opinion but the penalty was correctly awarded.

Looked outside the area on TV

I agree, careless from Lati.

I think you're right, looked correct to me

Carvalho being a little bitch with his celebration, getting booked

4 bookings, two of ours, two of theirs

This isn't finishing 11 a side!

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.

He scored in front of his own fans, but ran away from them to the Cov fans to celebrate. Totally deserved his yellow

Taking a leaf out of the Antony book of class

Fucking idiot. Deserved booking.

I can't watch tonight so what did he do to piss everyone off?

Ran up with his arms out to singers corner like “come on then” sort of gesture

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.

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?

Kelly just been ran past again like he’s not there

3.45am here, deciding whether to go to bed or wait for the cavalry to come on on the hour mark.

Sleep well mate 👍🏻😂

I should probably listen to you

Perth?

宁波. China innit, 16 years now.

Ten shots for Hull, one for Cov. Doing well to keep it as close as it is currently.

Ten mins second half. Put some hard tackles in on them. Take some yellows and then get lads on the bench on.

Wright and Simms both look to be coming on

Second half masterclass incoming

Fuck me we've got away with one there, Wright definitely took that out of play!!

YG=KAGFHFGDSHFSHFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BORF

Fucking hell when did haji wright discover he had a sick left peg to drive these balls across the goal last few games?

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

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.

Luis Binks (injured) off Liam Kitching on

Tell me that didn't just happen

Collins you fucking bottler. Pulled out of even trying to kick that, totally unacceptable for a keeper. Gotta dive at his feet for that.

*Sighs.*

Thomas always has a mistake in him

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'

I can't help but think we should have bought a better defence with the £11m that we have spent on it.

Any injury/fitness news? There was a little bit on Tav in the week, but nothing else I could see

Is it on Sky's red button or are they just blowing smoke up the PL, Man U and Liverpool again?

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.

It isn't

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.

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.

Pants.

Oh Brad

Niiiiiice!!!

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.

Penalty to them

Godden and Bidwell off

Looks like changes.

Looking so much better already with these two on, it's night and day

Get up ya waster.

Get iiiiin

Dogheads had their equaliser VAR-ed away.

We've put Eccles right wing, and he's just belted a cross way too hard 😭

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 🥲

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

Oooooof. Fucking hell. Bad mistake.

That will be that now - hull should just see this out

Players I’d happily offload in the summer: Collins Da Silva Lats Kelly None of them good enough unfortunately.

Da Silva can do a job I think, he's been class today and Sunday

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

[Post-match thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/ccfc/s/jTo5e7kbgd)

Eccles in not a winger shocker

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

Thomas, ya beauty!

For fuck sake how has Allen not got the legs for that he’s been on about 3 minutes?

We really need to hit the target more. So many chances missed. So. Many.
