Matt Talks Footy

The Sky Blues ended the year with a goalless draw against Millwall at the CBS Arena this afternoon. Star player Ephron Mason-Clark was a big miss for the hosts this afternoon who was out due to a hamstring tweak in Thursday's game. Jack Rudoni covered his position in left wing for the majority of the game, as they await the return of Haji Wright. The first big chance of the game came for the Sky Blues in the 17th minute from a short corner that came straight from the training ground. Some fancy footwork from Victor Torp to get into the Millwall penalty area allowed him to set up Ben Sheaf but his effort was straight at Lukas Jensen in the opposition net. Millwall rarely threatened the hosts throughout the game and had half a chance before the break through former Notts County striker Macauley Langstaff who's effort from the left hand side of the penalty area was easily met and saved by Swedish 'keeper Oliver Dovin.

The busy festive period continues again tomorrow as the Sky Blues return to action at the CBS Arena against Millwall in a Sunday afternoon Championship clash. Following the 4-0 win over Plymouth on Thursday, the Sky Blues find themselves 15th in the Championship table as the Sky Blues look to get back to back wins for the first time this season after a period of inconsistent results against a Millwall side that are currently managerless after Neil Harris resigned before Christmas. Millwall suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Carrow Road on Boxing Day at the hands of Norwich City which saw them slip down to 13th in the Championship table after the last gameweek. The two sides met just 5 games ago at The Den at the start of December in Frank Lampard's first away game in charge of the Sky Blues. A closely contested battle ended with a win for the Sky Blues thanks to a goal in the second half from inform winger Ephron Mason-Clark, which was helped in with some wind assistance in the b...

Frank Lampard's Sky Blues bounced back from a heavy defeat in true fashion with an impressive display, in front of a big crowd, with the helping hand of a poor away performance from Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle at the CBS Arena this afternoon. The Sky Blues opened the scoring after five minutes in front of a sell out crowd in Coventry. A well weighted cross from Ben Sheaf from just inside the penalty area was met at the far post by Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and he was able to head it past Daniel Grimshaw, who could've dealt with the goal better. After twenty minutes on the clock, an inform Ephron Mason-Clark was able to beat the Argyle defenders and teed up Coventry born midfielder Josh Eccles to powerfully strike his second goal of the season from outside the penalty area. Plymouth's day went from bad to worse in the 39th minute after a nicely lofted ball by Eccles was met by Mason-Clark who beat the Argyle back line and comfortably finished past Grimshaw who was left hopel...

After a difficult day in Portsmouth on Saturday, the Sky Blue's return to action in true boxing day style in front of a sold out CBS Arena against Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle, who drew 3-3 at home to Middlesbrough last time out. Both sides have struggled for wins this season, Plymouth stayed up last year by one point, so they may have expected to be in this position at this time. Wayne Rooney took over in the summer but is yet to see the hard work paying off. However, the Sky Blues expected to be in a battle at the other end of the table after splashing the cash over the previous two years building on the side they had but have struggled to string together a run of form, despite the arrival of Frank Lampard. Last time the two sides met was back in February where the points were shared on a cold Wednesday night down in Plymouth in a thrilling 2-2 draw with goals for the Sky Blues coming from Ellis Simms and Liam Kitching, who found an equaliser in the dying minutes at Home Pa...
