Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec (13 Viewers)

[Great_Expectations]

He’s not being told to play behind the forward - again on that attack he was running on from hiwula - he just seems to lack pace

The pace comment has nothing to do with my point around positioning. But I agree he lacks it. Every time we defend he drops into the 10 position. Regardless he adds little.

Looks like they are all ready time wasting

 

[Grendel]

Slightly generous free kick - good chance

 

[Nick]

It's that bad I didn't even stand up ready when it went to Chaplin, awful

 

[Grendel]

Oh look playing to Chaplin strengths - fuck

 

[sw88]

Great set piece from Westwood to find Chaplin who lacks composure unmarked and in front of goal

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Chaplin terrible miss. Lace it not side foot bloody hell

 

[Great_Expectations]

We’re letting an average team dictate tempo.

We need more movement when we attack.

Awful awful miss from Chaplin.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Chaplin cannot have many chances left.

Awful miss.

Southend have that and they'd score it.

 

[Paxman II]

We need Doyle for this game. It's like a pinball at the moment. We need to get it down and get a foot on the ball.

 

[jordan210]

Chaplin needs the ball to smash off his shin to score. Hopefully that will give him some confidence in front of goal

Unfortunately that one did come off his shin.

 

[bawtryneal]

Chaplin hoping to score today
Have him first goal and 1-0

 

[Paxman II]

Shipley is awful

 

[jordan210]

Why do we never really shoot outside the box. We get in good space and then try and cross it in

 

[Johhny Blue]

Chaplin hoping to score today

He'll probably screw it up for you and score 2

 

[Great_Expectations]

Westbrooke is not a winger.

Kelly has taken on the Doyle role of playing left back, and we have a lack of passing options across the midfield.

Too many passengers.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Shipley is awful

Here we go

 

[Nick]

Shipley, Jesus Christ

 

[Nick]

Westbrooke is not a winger.

Kelly has taken on the Doyle role of playing left back, and we have a lack of passing options across the midfield.

Too many passengers.

Yeah, nowhere near a winger.

 

[Nick]

We look as if they have extra players

 

[sw88]

Chaplin shoots after cutting inside. GOAL kick

 

[jordan210]

Yeah, nowhere near a winger.

Wasn’t he signed as a creative midfielder

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Good effort after Kelly interception Chaplin wide

 

[Nick]

Chaplin shoots after cutting inside. GOAL kick

Way wide

 

[Grendel]

Shipley is awful

He’s offering a lot more than Chaplin. If that was clarke Harris you’d be slaughtering him

 

[Paxman II]

Westbrooke out of his depth here

 

[PVA]

Way wide

It wasn't, it was pretty close. A good effort.

 

[Nick]

It wasn't, it was pretty close. A good effort.

The keeper didn't bother with it, it wasn't that close need to be testing the keeper at least

 

[Grendel]

It wasn't, it was pretty close. A good effort.

It was awful

 

[Grendel]

Westbrooke out of his depth here

At least he’s not costing half a million next week

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Should be one go poor poor game

 

[Nick]

Half time, they need a kick up the arse.

Who do they have on their bench to bring in?

 

[Grendel]

Half time, they need a kick up the arse.

Who do they have on their bench to bring in?

If nothing changes after 10’minutes he needs to try clarke Harris and hiwula together

 

[Paxman II]

I'd be very temped to bring Doyle on for Shipley at half time and Andreu for Westbrooke.
