Not suggesting that but one game doesn’t determine a players value or worth to a team

We need to improve our home form against defensively organized rigid robust championship teams

Yeah that’s probably fair. I’m just posing the question as to whether we should be keeping more clean sheets

Get suckered in to slow tempo ponderous stuff, need higher tempo football to pull these sides out of position. That said we had plenty of chances today

Own goal knocked the stuffing out of the crowd and the team and gave them something to hold on for. Never seen a team with so much gamesmanship for essentially a pointless game for them.

I’m hoping the other Peterborough player were interested in is Ronnie Edwards but Premier league sides were sniffing round him in January

He’ll go better than us probably premier league

First 25 I was thinking my god such a shame he won't be playing bs man united. And literally from that moment onwards he got shit.
I was thinking could be 2-3 goals for cov the way we were passing it about at first

This is it. Lost count of how many simple passes we fluffed. Thomas and Eccles the worst culprits. Sheaf joined in the bad pass party. Palmer was too deep too often. Seemed like we just sank after the first OG. Meh.

Not quite on it but don't remember him sh*tting the bed with simple passes like others did. Felt he did his job. Got up the pitch, was an outlet, got balls in to the box from decent positions.

Sheaf didn’t have his best game, everyone had an off day
Frustrating as we just weren’t at our best today across the most of the team. Sloppiest passing game for a while, trying to force it even when we were winning/drawing…..I’d have been fuming if I was Bidwell first half, bombing forward time after time and then palmer, Thomas and sheaf (and a couple of others) trying to play it through congested areas/groups of Cardiff players. As i say, frustrating !
Surprised about some comments about Eccles, thought he played really well before the two poor passes just before being hooked. Unfortunately that’s what people remember but I thought he was one of our better players overall
A good point made by someone one cwr, if we want to be playing in the Prem then we need to be talking points of teams like Leeds and Southampton so here’s our chance. Still think we’re just a bit short but let’s hope we can keep the fun going a bit longer !

I’ll say a similar thing again, only Leeds, WBA, Ipswich, Leicester and Millwall (?!?) have kept more clean sheets than us this season…..
and yes, that’s basically 4 of the top 6, but Leicester and Ipswich are only 2 clean sheets ahead of us, so we’re actually not doing too bad on that front by the looks of things

Yup this.
Most tpeople agree this may be a season too soon for us so why moan now?
It's hard to make top 6 when have to bring tavares on for example. No disrespect to the lad
Yet here we are with a fighting chance. Playoffs are a bonus not an expectation. Most fans should be enjoying this season not throwing toys out of pram everytime we lose a game.

But for the Kitching OG after we score, we probably win the game. That was a criminal mistake at a costly moment in the game after we scored.
WE badly miss Sakamoto. Had we had him fit with MVE behind him i think we would have gone up though the play offs.
Norwich looked hopeless today though and i think 6th is definitely still on for us but i am not sure we will be good enough without Sakamoto to beat any of Leeds Leicester, Southampton Ipswich or West Brom over two legs.
However, this has been such a positive season for us, that really surely we should now all be super positive for next season which is the season we should really be hitting our straps properly. Kitching and Thomas will be miles better next season after a year experience at this level under their belts.

Think disappointment today is fine and a natural response. Would like performances to be strong until the end regardless though

I think they should be an expectation next year mind.
it’s hard to keep getting positive results in this league.
robins keeps referring to the fact he’s got a small squad, expect it to be much better next year as we won’t lose many we don’t want too

Disappointment is fine. Just no need for massive autopsy or getting on players backs or branding them shit etc
We can't win every game but we're still well placed for the bigger picture. Important to remember that, that's all.

Why wouldn’t there be a demand on the play offs next season? Definitely we should be making the play offs in the next one or two seasons

Long term it will be better going up next season as champions totally owning the league than through the play offs this season. I think the squad would be a bit young and naive next season in the PL, but the season after i think the squad would be at its peak and be better placed to stay up.
The squad is miles better than last season, the players are all ours and young and can compete on their day already against PL teams as we saw the Wolves. The foundations are there now for all to see. This is the best time to be a Coventry fan since the Sillet years imho. We are at the start of i feel at least a decade of joy.

Your both right in own way. Top 6 is tough every year and can never be taken for granted to get it but we should be targeting it also.
