Another weekend, another win for Coventry
Shaky though.
We were woeful with ball in hand, and LS were actually quite impressive on that score. I found myself counting phases and getting pished-off as I never seemed to get past two.
The ref was shocking at times too. Inside the first two minutes he'd sinbinned Brett Daynes and given them a penalty try. Reason? Deliberate knock on. When he sees the video he'll realise how wrong he got it as Daynes went for a cut-out with both hands, failing to hold on. Result should obviously be a scrum-down, not the sanction(s) he applied.
Then later, Stokes went up for a box-kick, collected it well and was immediately hit very hard by a defender when way up in the air (I'd say he hadn't even started descending). Very poor decision given, of a penalty only. We can't even 'cite' it with that happening.
(Edit: Stokes was down for a long time after this, and eventually left the field after playing on for a time. Hopefully not too bad though.
He was generally just very shaky right through - and I'd thought last week's man-in-the-middle was poor...
Still, five points, and with two of the more-adrift chasing pack losing, I reckon it's now Cov's to lose, and DMP's to do something about it.
Fingers crossed.
