Robins interview is a throwback to League 2 days.

I'm assuming the bit about wright adding more is a joke? Simms plays a more central role but his energy got the goal for us and seemed the only outlet. Godden was bang average tonight and didn't hold up the ball as needed.

No mate, not a joke. An opinion. Get over it if yours differs.

Down the channels Simms looked quicker and keener when he came on, I thought. Simms was probably tiring by then in fairness.

I'm interested in your genius though mate, you're of the opinion that Simms is a striker that doesn't need to work and run the channels perhaps. That's a new one to me, and you might want to look again at what happened just before he got his shot in tonight. Are you sure you're not having a joke?

As for Godden, he's the only one scoring and he's not a six foot target man. In my opinion the people you want holding up the ball and causing defenders problems are Simms and Wright; the person you want in front of goal is Godden.

We hadn't just spent 20m on a couple of strikers and centre halves while starting games with Eccles and Kelly in the middle.

It's ok though, we spent 5m on the centre half to be on the bench.

Yasin Ayari’s first goal for the Sky Blues helped to secure a point against Huddersfield Town at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Ellis Simms unleashed a ferocious effort which was tipped onto the bar by Lee Nicholls and came off Ayari and went into the back of the net.

Ben Wilson produced some fine saves in the second half to help secure the points and keep a third clean sheet of the season.


Quality reporting from the club
“However, Ayari’s first goal for the Club would prove to be enough, as City got back to winning ways against the Terriers.”

Pretty much sums up the night

But you are disrespecting them. Kelly's performance as a holding midfielder tonight was seriously good IMO. The team shape isn't working, the balance isn't right, but that shouldn't detract from the way he did his specific job.
I think Kelly can have a decent game here and there and is obviously key in the dressing room and played a very important role in our end of season run last year

BUT

I wouldn't have offered him a new deal. The comfort blanket of having him as cover stopped us going out for the midfielder we needed with or without Hamer's departure and that has lead to us having to play him next to a very similar style player in Eccles.

He bought the cards

I'm not saying you're wrong but managers have less say in who comes in nowadays. They usually tell the director of football what position they want and the DoF liases with the scouting team and owner and they bring a player in.

Shocking defending at the end - the entire back line went to pieces. Why bring Bidwell on to shore things up if that’s the result?

Ayari looks completely lost in the #10 position - if he can be moulded into an Aldi-level Hamer replacement in a deeper role then he has the talent to make a difference but otherwise it’s not working.

Wright has the pace and the strength, but not the feet. Would be nice if he could stay onside too. Hard to say he’s a £7 million player with a straight face at the moment.

Allen, Kelly and Simms were good. Atmosphere was dire.

Maybe think of it this way

We are prob in the worst shape we will be all season yet we are 5pts off playoffs and not losing many games. Close to winning quite a few too.

O hare Palmer sheaf mVE all to return yet. And possibly hamer replacement signing to come in January.

Things are probably only going to get better this season.
