He definitely has his fans on here.

Someone needs to do a study on Coventry as it appears to be a hub of visual impairment.

Desperately need a RCB in the Jan window. And a keeper.

That was shit Wilson needs to go

Not a surprising result considering MR was forced to put together a makeshift team a couple of hours before kickoff. I wonder how many players on the pitch today weren't ill. How that illness will affect Tuesday's game is anyone's guess.

 

[David O'Day]

2-1 was a bit cruel on them to be fair

Fully fit with Gyo starting we win that. But it was just absolutely dreadful.

Sick of staying in that bottom 3

 

[Speedie's Head]

Has Panz lost his confidence? Trouble is there's no b*gger else

 

[Paxman II]

We got what we deserved tbh - nothing. Yet you could see Blackpool were poor at the back and we failed to make the best of it. Dissjointed and unable to take our chances. Robin's will blame squad depth and to an extent that is true, but tbf his team starting 11 was a glaring error. Vik looked like he had more in him than waiting until 75 minutes? But regardless we were let down by the defending and giving the ball away too often. Sheaf the main culprit. If you are going to mess about like we have today, then don't expect a good result. Massive improvement required Tuesday night and a bit more brave selection from Robins. Still in the bottom 3 now - so frustrating.

Wilsons distribution is non league standard. Now the cleansheets have dried up there is no excuse to keep him in the team.

Clean sheets dried up as soon as Hamer and O’Hare were available and we could play more expansive football instead of 10 behind the ball.

He's going to blame the illness in the camp isn't he?

 

[Esoterica]

Defence looks really poor. Haven't seen Panzo play well for us since the opening game. Didn't win anything today. Doesn't look strong enough or fast enough, and look very nervous in possession.

He reminds me of a defender's version of Jordi Hiwula. Pretty good with the ball at his feet and moving forwards with it but the rest of his game is missing.

To be honest I genuinely think we’ll lose both next week, if they’re even played. This week was a huge chance-Blackpool garbage defensively but we were even worse.

Pathetic

Go back to 10 behind the ball we need points.

 

[shmmeee]

Unless there’s a good reason not to my back four would be Moore Rose Fadz Doyle on current showings. But even that isn’t good enough. We all said it over summer: the defence was our worst part last season and we weakened it instead of strengthening it.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Steaming pile of horseshit performance

GK - the King of Shitland
Central Defenders - shit (bar Fadz)
Wingbacks - decent (better than most)
Midfield - shit (bar Hamer and O'hare)
Gyok - better than most despite only playing 20 mins

Our games in hand are sadly masking our poor performances, and they'll be running out fast.
Rotherham and Blackpool at home should be wins, if we have any kind of ambition to do well.

I wonder if back a 4 is the way to go...

 

[Tommo1993]

Need a decent keeper to start with. We don’t have one of those.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Blackburn will tear this side a new arsehole.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

I'd normally say no (who'd play wide midfield, for a start?) but if today's first half is the alternative, bring it on!

SHITE

 

[fernandopartridge]

That’s so surprising. Usually our system of letting players fester behind the scenes with no game time is so effective at building fitness

You have to make allowances for the illness in the camp today though surely.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Atmosphere of a morgue waiting for the train back

 

[Tommo1993]

At this point I’d bring back Biamou to go in goal.

Yes, looks unnatural in his positioning and body shape

Nah

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

The lack of quality summer signings to strengthen the squad is really showing. There is no depth.

 

[mmttww]

Has Panzo won a header?

My exact thoughts on today. Awful.

But but but we kept Gyokeres and O’Hare (inadvertently)

 

[mmttww]

To be fair we’ve created a bit but it’s pub league defending we should have conceded 5 or 6

Sums it up. We should've had 3 or 4. Blackpool should have had a couple more. In the final third we looked more composed than I've seen us for a while. Made a lot of decent chances.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

The performances at home this season have been dreadful.

 

[Offhegoes]

The illness on the camp played it’s part in today’s result obviously. Rose, Vik and probably Eccles would of started. Robins should of put Vik on earlier when we started to get on top 2nd half. Hamer, O’Hare and Palmer (out of position) decent. Kane’s defending is shocking, although he got forward well. Be interesting to hear who was affected by the illness. Sheaf was well below par.
Wilson got lucky with those run of clean sheets. His distribution is awful,. Should of kept out their equaliser, and is a mistake waiting to happen. Moore back please.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

6 points as the underdog playing for solidity above everything else. Fancied home games, play more ‘expansive’ and 1 point.

 

[ajsccfc]

Blackpool fans would have been absolutely raging if they didn't win with all the chances they had, 2-1 really flattered us. I'm happy nobody shat themselves on the pitch

Would be nice for once though to win like that after all the times it happened against us before.
