Shambolic display really.
Jones was man of the match as he posed some threat and Vincetti and Kelley were strong as well.
Stokes did well.
Doyle was poor, Willis not a lot better.
Burge made two saves - one routine so not too sure what the fuss is about there in truth.

His handling was secure. Looked a safe pair of hands today.

Other than when he flailed around in the first half when they hit the bar

Pretty dreadful all in all. We just don't seem to have a system as such just a load of players doing jobs that don't compliment each other. Clean sheet though but we're not creating anywhere near enough, not even forcing mistakes as the whole team is too deep.

Agreed. The opposition rarely threaten. They had two attempts late on and that is it. Robins was as ever ultra cautious and that's an issue
Vale were rubbish but we never are going to score many
Why are people obsessed with Nazon - he's terrible.

So Burge did what was required of him. That is all he can do. Let's be honest one slight mistake and there would have post after post of moaning.

Lowest home attendance for a league game (in Coventry) since 1958 apparently.

Gave me more concerns than positives I'm afraid.
Our forwards never will score, we create nowhere near enough chances or pressure and this against a team that is devoid of any confidence.
It's clear the club can get promotion but the manager needs to do a lot better.

Early goal, another clean sheet, couldve blown it with the red, but didn't. I'm happy.

For a change, Geoff asked a sensible question re the late change and asked if Biamou pulled up in the warm up. Robins answer sort of suggested he'd done something in a behind-closed-doors friendly v Villa in the week, and today he still wasn't fit so they replaced him with Ponticelli. So not sure now if it was actually a late change or just an error on the original team sheet published?
Seemed a little annoyed when talking about it. Hoping it's not another Reds type scenario when the player tries to decide if when he's fit and when he's not!?!

sw88 and Nick should go and sit next to each other then we wouldn't need match threads at all for home games!
Rubbish game. I'd be fuming with the manager if I was a Vale fan, everyone knows which foot Jones is going to shoot with, why was he allowed so much time to set up.
Not sure about the sending off (ref was generally rubbish), will need to see it again but for me he wasn't last man, there were other players moving to cover and the Vale player seemed to be moving away from goal. If the ref wasn't sure to the point he had to go and ask the lino in the other half it shouldn't be a red.
Very disappointing crowd. And not much sign off life on here either. Seems more people are drifting away.
Still 3 points in the bag and on to Tuesday.

That is exactly the sort of game I was expecting to see in league 2. The quality is awful all round but 2nd half provided some entertainment. If we had someone more incisive in front of goal we'd have scored more in the period after half time. Still think Doyle and Kelly are too similar in the middle and would like to see Andreu there, especially at home. Burge and Jones both improved from last season. Not the best but give me a season of them and get out of this league and I'll bit your hand off. Nearly had a heart attack at the end there when we nearly conceded the most Coventry City own goal conceivable. From where I was it looked as though their attacker ran into McDonald and went down, not a foul, never a sending off, would like to see the replay though.

Two very poor teams who cant score. We are not a promotion team or even near at the moment

Apparently Robins said in his post match interview that McNulty has done him hamstring and will see him out for about 3 weeks, Andreu has done his ACL and potentially 6 months out as well as Grimmer straining his calf and he will also be out for a few weeks

He didn't.

Ssshhh, you'll anger the locals with talk like that!
Anyway, I did think we'd shade it and although it sounded crap I'm happy if we can grind out wins when not playing well. A crap 1-0 is better than a pretty draw any day of the week, it's only points that matter at the end of the season.
