Away Match Day Thread 07/02/2026 - MDT: Coventry City v Oxford United

All the post match analysis will be the controversy about Brown not seeing red, rather than how the referee's abysmal performance wrecked the game - the amount of decisions he got wrong was staggering.

I didn't see what Lankshear's first yellow was for and so many fouls he gave that screamed homer during the game. That the Brown decision doesn't counter balance how poor he was for us outside of that.

Regardless a great point, but really need to show it when it matters against teams lower in the table and especially at home.

 

[Royalstandard74]

Proud of the boys, feels like a win! I BELIEVE!

 

[ttg17]

Superb point. Great results for us elsewhere as well. Most pleasingly, I thought all the January additions looked great. I know we're all more used to McDonell than some of the newer boys now but my god that guy has an engine, still going hell for leather in stoppage time.

It's the hope that kills you...

 

[holdsteady]

Great point.

We now need to do what we have been terrible at, follow up a Saturday result with a midweek result.

Massive game Tuesday night.

 

[londonyellow]

That was pure fight all the way. Well done every one of them.

 

[unification]

I didn’t bother following today’s game since I had other things on and thought the result would be an inevitability.

Pleasantly surprised with a point.

 

[Stanford yellow]

So that's marris up front Tuesday then..,....

 

[tomoufc]

Now 4 points from safety. Can we do this? I think we can!

 

[Chippy]

A great battling point, well done boys. The referee will be disappointed that Coventry didn’t win!!

 

[Nadi-]

Thoroughly deserved
The basis was set midweek
MPH and straight through the middle superb
McDonnell just an education, reads and just hunts in front of the backline. Brannagan must love to have someone like him beside him

 

[OX14]

Great point against 12 men. Ref must have a Frank Lampard poster calender on his bedroom wall.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Great result, but like Leicester, was more down to the opposition being dire.

 

[Tinman]

I'll gladly eat humble pie. Hard fought draw, shame Stoke couldn't beat WBA but this was not a point I was expecting, especially going down to 10.

 

[90syeIlow]

From 5 points gap to 4 looks much more manageable, especially as we have games against West Brom, Sheff Wed, Blackburn and Charlton at home still to come.

Today was a massive point.

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

Very unexpected point.

 

[Oxfordpete]

Thankfully I don’t have a dodgy heart down to 10 men after Wills stupidity we made it well done

 

[Pgyellow]

We had a similar ref at home to Coventry last season. Completely in awe of Lampard.

 

[boogaloo]

Fantastic battling performance. We held on for the point. Well done.

 

[Teddydee1980]

Awful viewing that. Take a point.

Dread to think what the squad might look like on Tuesday after that.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

What a whopping performance, rode our luck massively and also had to play against the ref. Fantastic effort.

We're down, but not out.

 

[Symp59]

A great battling point, well done boys. The referee will be disappointed that Coventry didn’t win!!

Yes he hadn't cashed out

 

[Jason]

I really really hope we stay up, just to pee off the establishment within this league. Screw the big teams, the managers and the officials too.

COYY!!

 

[NorfolkExile]

So that's marris up front Tuesday then..,....

You say that but we didn’t start with either him or Lankshear today.

If you’d have offered us a point before the game today I’m sure most of us would have been more than happy with that against the league leaders. Shame we were up against 12 men for most of the game. We’ve had some poor refs this season but I think today’s was taking things to another level. I hope his performance today is scrutinised and is addressed accordingly

 

[greatunclekip]

Absolutely outclassed, never scoring, but we defended well with 7 defenders.

Lots of effort.

 

[Sarge]

how many yellow cards did we get today? Ive lost count , Lanks x2, Longy, Brown, Bran, JC, MB ( in the dugout), Romeny? who else? were there any more ?

 

[Mateo Corbo's Tackle]

We need to get far more composed on the ball to stand a chance of staying up, but the fight in this team cannot be questioned.

Every man put in a massive shift. A mention for Romeny - he fought for everything defensively when he came on, up against a serious challenge.

Makosso will be a cult hero if he carries on like this. Immense.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

Superb bonus point from a game I never expected would deliver anything.
Rock solid boys!

 

[Londox]

A good point against all odds.

We need to back it up with a good performance against Norwich

 

[Sarge]

You say that but we didn’t start with either him or Lankshear today.

If you’d have offered us a point before the game today I’m sure most of us would have been more than happy with that against the league leaders. Shame we were up against 12 men for most of the game. We’ve had some poor refs this season but I think today’s was taking things to another level. I hope his performance today is scrutinised and is addressed accordingly

agree 100%

the powers that be will do nothing about any poor referee, old boys club that it is

 

[Symp59]

We might still rue not having another striker in the January sales ,There's Harris or Harris, maybe try Romeny he's got abit more magic in them feet. But great effort, and some excellent debuts .
