Match Thread Coventry City at Colchester United Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Feb (9 Viewers)

[Johhny Blue]

you've no interest in this club you sad c**t. This is the first time I've seen you on a match thread, gloating because it's going to shit, what a pathetic life you must have.

Let's all sing together

Come on Robins make the changes now, not on 70 mins

 

[Nick]

Why does Stokes shoot? Embarrassing.

 

[Nick]

half time, needs big changes

 

[runner]

Thank God we have the FA this weekend ... at least that's one extra game to allow our injured players, especially Doyle, get fit again ... so they can get back to league action sooner ?

 

[Otis]

Oh, not it isn't! We've seen far worse. Remember under Mowbray we didn't win 10 league games in a row, for starters. Under Thorn no away wins all season. Last season we only won about 5 league games until MR arrived. Then there was Mowbray's implosion after the Gillingham 4-1. They're all worse than this, 2.5 games lost. We'd won 6 in a row at home before that!

I'm talking about meltdown on here, not in terms of results.

 

[Liquid Gold]

30 seconds of added on time left and we’re taking ages with a throw in. Get the ball in the box. ‘Streetwise’

 

[oucho]

Please can someone at the game tell us that it's not as bad "live" as it appears on this thread?

Schoolboy, what is robins doing? It's cringeworthy

 

[larry_david]

This is an absolute fucking disaster

I don’t think this thread does justice to just how bad it is.

 

[Otis]

Only a couple of weeks ago we were just 1 point off the automatic promotion places.

As it stands now we are 9.

I'd fuckin' concede it, been nothing but a distraction.

Err....oh dear.

What makes it worse is how predictable.

Throw ins seemed a particular challenge for us on Saturday too. No movement whatsoever.

 

[covcity4life]

Shipley is a fucking cm ffs. He dont have pace. Cant beat a man. Robins is being an idiot by not changing it up

 

[superskyblue]

Shocking. Apart from McNulty, Willis is looking like our best player technically. That's how bad it is.

 

[PVA]

Terrible game, we look poor and Colchester don't look much better.

These injury problems are ruining our season. Jones/Andreu/Doyle/Davies/Grimmer all huge misses.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Robins needs to bring Reid and

Only a couple of weeks ago we were just 1 point off the automatic promotion places.

As it stands now we are 9.

We have lost this at the wrong end of the season.

 

[speedie87]

Reid and Clarke Harris have got to come at ht we need more goals in this team

 

[blueflint]

not gloating I want a city win but not looking good cu@t

 

[Nick]

Reid and Clarke Harris have got to come at ht we need more goals in this team

He needs to go all out, we have nothing going forward.

Bollocks to like for like, bring JCH on for Vincenti and change the shape a bit.

 

[clint van damme]

Only a couple of weeks ago we were just 1 point off the automatic promotion places.

As it stands now we are 9.

next stage is when we start needing other teams to lose followed by the inevitable when making the play offs becomes a mathematical impossibility. By then everyone is resigned to it. Fuckin' groundhog day.

 

[Liquid Gold]

We’ve got nothing. Absolutely nothing. If it carries on like this then we’ll only score from some incredible magic or an unbelievable mistake. 3-0 wouldn’t flatter them.

 

[Otis]

What makes it worse is how predictable.

Exactly.

You cross your fingers and hope something will be different, but as soon as it plays out in exactly the same manner as previous, you are simply not at all surprised by it.

 

[superskyblue]

Bayliss must be knackered. He's been rubbish again tonight. Shipley likewise. I've been a defender of Vincenti until now but as nice a fella as he seems he's not good enough. Kelly is doing alright but he needs more creative players with him. Both tonight and Saturday we relied on him to be creative and he just isn't. He's good at breaking up play and keeping the ball though.

 

[usskyblue]

You can’t say we haven’t improved. We made it past Christmas before we fucked it up

 

[rob9872]

How many cov there? Glad I didn't lose half a day by the sound of it.

 

[Otis]

We’ve got nothing. Absolutely nothing. If it carries on like this then we’ll only score from some incredible magic or an unbelievable mistake. 3-0 wouldn’t flatter them.

And if we're not creating anything we're not going to score are we.

A blank sheet for us tonight up front will mean it will be 3 games with not a single goal scored.

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

Going through the motions. No passion, nothing. This is atrocious.

Only 1 person to blame for that.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Exactly.

You cross your fingers and hope something will be different, but as soon as it plays out in exactly the same manner as previous, you are simply not at all surprised by it.

Which is why I don't think it was premature to call this side in freefall. Like his 3 predecessors. Robins has shown he can't or won't change things up in the face of overwhelming evidence.

 

[Esoterica]

This season in a gif

Vincenti and Shipley haven't been in it at all, that's because we hammer it forward to Biamou to try to flick it on to McNulty who has 4 or 5 men on him. Then they get the ball and we start chasing shadows while they pass it about.
