[Nick]

Are we with or against the wind (or is it blowing across)?

against it, their goalkicks are like shots.

What does Westbrooke actually do? Could replace him with any lower league midfielder and you wouldn't notice.

He's been decent so far

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hyam should have scored

 

[Nick]

"Will McCallum take a long one here? I think he will"

 

[kg82]

Is the wind at their backs then (Southend)?

 

[Nick]

Rose header straight at keeper.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Rose header straight at keeper.

Aarrgghhh

 

[Danceswithhorses]

72% possession for us according to bbc...cmon city

 

[Nick]

"A very wet ball now"

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Rose should have scored

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Our central defenders for all their quality are absolutely pants at attacking headers.

Have they scored any this season?

No wonder we are so shit at attacking set pieces.

 

[mmttww]

Dabo’s poor discipline is going to cost us eventually.

You're a barrel of laughs, aren't you!

He's arguably player of the season FFS

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Think we need 2 up front 2nd half.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

AFC coventry should have scored repeat ad infinitim

 

[Nick]

We are just lacking the final ball

 

[Liquid Gold]

I hate to say it but we have such less presence up from when Godden is on his own. Should be in a two or Baka/Max should be in.

 

[cc84cov]

We surely must be looking at 2 up front second half Godden is just running round getting his hair wet.

Westbrooke is a lovely footballer just not doing enough for me

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Ipswich 2-1

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

AFC coventry should have scored repeat ad infinitim

I’m winding you up...

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wycombe one up

 

[Nick]

Godden miles offside.

 

[skyblueheaven]

Wycombe 1 up

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We surely must be looking at 2 up front second half Godden is just running round getting his hair wet.

Westbrooke is a lovely footballer just not doing enough for me

max with Godden will be more effective

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

[Nick]

I think with the wind behind us second half, Bakayoko hassling their defenders like the other night would help us.

Would still like to see Giles play.

 

[Esoterica]

Can't remember the last time we made decent contact with a header from a corner. Do think that is one area we could still significantly improve in, especially with 3 CBs on the pitch.

 

[Captain Caveman]

We need to convert some of these chances into goals in the second half now. We have been by far the better team in the first half.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Bring max or baka on and go 2 upfront robins FFS

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Poor half

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Need to really go for it on the 2nd half. Put Max on up with Matty and get some pace on the wing.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Shipley and Walsh shooting with that wind behind them in the second half should be a real threat and worth a couple of goals. Westbrooke started well but went too backwards and sideways towards the end of the half

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Down to 4th a goal would take us top

 

[PVA]

I can't be the only one who thinks that wasn't bad?

72% possession and some good chances, in difficult conditions.

I think we're doing OK and will win the game.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

72% possession. Have to make this count.

 

[coop]

Need two up top max for shippers.
