Match Thread Coventry City vs. Wycombe Wanderers Match Thread - Saturday 13th Oct (20 Viewers)

[Esoterica]

Been surprised how little Wycombe have looked long for Akinfenwa. Ainsworth slowly transitioning away from last year's style of play?

Great balls in by Hiwula. Strikers should be busting a gut to score

And what if they make the run and he plays behind them? His heads down when he crosses - it’s only a good ball if the runs made. It’s all a bit frantic from him.

Keep as we are and I think it’ll come. They’ve offered little and have the inevitable one attacking tactic. Plus loads of time wasting.

Hiwula looks good and Thomas has the beating of his man with absolute ease. We need to use them more and hope JCH/Chaplin can capitalise on a chance.

Bayliss is anonymous, but I’m not sure Andreu would offer much more and Kelly is too defensive.

With the wide players having a good game, we need the strikers to gamble and make runs to get into the end of it. There's no point standing watching Thomas take a man on, get in there and either lose your defender or take a defender away from the other striker.

Give it time!

 

[Grendel]

JCH has to put in a shift to justify his place and so far he has not. He seems to not be on the thinking of others around him? He's a league 2 player for me. Jordy Hiwula is streets ahead in his reading of the game. At least two of his crosses should have been converted.
Wycombe will frustrate, foul, waste time and hope for a point. We must keep the ball down.

Lol. If anything it’s Chaplin that looks league two player. Hiwula is head down and hit and hope.

No, they are good balls if they are in a dangerous area. Strikers should be there on instinct. We moan all the time about poor crossing and when we finally have some good balls in the box people complain that they weren’t read by the strikers.

 

[Nick]

Chaplin laid it out wide then but just stood watching rather then running into the box

 

[Esoterica]

If I was Ainsworth I'd get Akinfenwa dropping on to Brown like Rhead/Lincoln did against us last year.

 

[ccfcway]

If we were half decent at finishing we’d be out of sight by now.

Odds on a mistake gifting them a 1-0 win?

11/2

How does akinfenwa get away with his fouls

Well that would be more Chaplin as the number 9 would go deeper for the higher cross of it came

No it would be either of them. Just face it, JCH has been no better than Chaplin today stop trying to defend him.

He two handed pushed hiwula in the back on that corner

We need to start making a meal of it

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Every time he goes near the ball he could somebody

I’m not - I don’t think either are to blame for that as previously stated

Strange how every other fan on this forum commenting on the game thought they were good crosses.

 

[Nick]

We need a goal soon, have a feeling they will if we don't

 

[Nick]

This ref is awful, he's miles away from play as well

 

[Grendel]

One was Paxman

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Another shocking ref where do they find these twats

 

[Grendel]

Doyle stupid foul

 

[Nick]

Their player near enough picks it up in box, ref nowhere near to see it

 

[mark82]

You can lie on the ball as long as it's in your own penalty area. Thomas should have had a go though.

 

[Nick]

Their player falls over in the wind

WTF?

 

[Grendel]

Their player falls over in the wind

It was a foul

 

[mark82]

This ref is awful .

 

[Grendel]

Slightly worrying the best diagonal passes made by our centre half.

 

[Nick]

It was a foul

They won it, we should be

 

[sw88]

Superb ball from Sterling to find Hiwula who skied another effort

 

[Gazolba]

Need to get Bakayoko on.

 

[Nick]

Hiwula shoots high and wide on his left

Should be shooting quicker

 

[Grendel]

Yeah Hiwula clearly isn’t head down and hope

He’s ahead of all the other forwards in his thinking

 

[Spurs 'City Away Kit' Kit]

Their player falls over in the wind

Was Doyler seen running away looking sheepish?

 

[mark82]

WTF?

Yep, their player basically just lay down on the ball. Anywhere else and it's a foul. Ref was nowhere near it.
