Couldn’t disagree more. Dabo was facing Ben Osborn and I thought he played him very well.

He got done easily by Davis before he went off injured (luckily for us).
His first booking was the result of a terrible first touch and he was lucky to escape with not getting a second.
Thought he was poor.

He should have been sent off, put three terrible crosses in, ran the ball out of play under little pressure and had a first touch that rebounded off him to an opposition player. I am not sure if I agree with dropping him for Kane for tomorrow, but he had a very, very poor 55 minutes he was on the pitch.

I thought Dabo was OK on Wednesday but looked tired in the second half.

He should have been sent off for sure.

Probably needs a rest, but I don't see MR changing it as he's clearly not keen on Kane at the moment.

Every player and I mean every Coventry City player had a very poor game by your definition. None was exempt from poor control, poor distribution. I agree he could have been sent off but he wasn’t by a referee who was useless by any measure.
I thought Dabo was par for the course. Obviously others see it differentl.

As much as it's working in terms of the result I wouldn't say we've deserved to win either game. Defensively digging in has got us over the line. Godden has been a passenger

Question is if Alex Neil goes for the same tactics he got Sunderland to use on the opening day. If so we should have a little up our sleeve

I could be tempted to replace dabo with Kane but Stoke have pace down that side. Sheaf unavailable so clearly palmer comes in. hamer replaces Allen or Eccles. I'd play one up top if Palmer is in and put the extra man in midfield.

Tough call this one. can go either way so probably a 1-1 draw!

You bring Hamer in for Sheaf obviously

Dabo was up against a good player the other day but I don’t think he’s playing too well and hasn’t all season right back is a position that might need looking at.

Dabo hasn’t played consistently well since the league 1 promotion season.

Doesnt bring enough to be a regular at this level

Squad player only

Will be at the Gamble Dome tomorrow with Mrs BSB. Would very much like a win against the gambling tycoons’ plaything but it’s going to be tough. Take a draw, think we’ll lose by the odd goal.

0-0 which I'd be happy with. We need a better performance than Wednesday but I wouldnt care less if we got the three points.

It was an absolute nightmare getting out last season. They let all fans and coaches leave first by closing the roads including the away coaches back to the train station. I’d try and find somewhere 10-15 mins walk away to park.

I’ve ended up jumping on the coach from craftsman mate. The wife won’t be happy later mind haha. Let’s hope for 3 points

Just got back this morning and hoping I can keep my eyes open for this one! Hoping we can keep the good run going and would be happy with a point.
