We're heading into league Two, simple as that, no win away since March, can't see where one will come from when the tactically inept SP is at the helm. Wonder if he wants AT's record for no away win in a whole year..

Grow up.

this is the weakest cov squad in living memory.

Can you argue otherwise?

I am grown up, because i'm allowed on the computer. ;)

Yes I can, I can argue that SP has not used this squads potential, due to having a formation that requires a different squad altogether.

We have a 442 squad, can you not see that? No away win since March, and he's had two squads trying too!!

An away point is never awful but a massive opportunity missed today against a pretty poor side.

Agreed. Orient definitely didn't deserve all 3 points and I'd have been gutted if they got them. Our equaliser did have a bit of luck that came with it, but their second was our own fault so we made amends showing the spirit to seek the equaliser.

Wasn't the standard of last weeks second half but a point away from home is always a bonus

Is SP's tactics helping us? on this winless away win since March?

On the tube home. Was everything wrong with Coventry city. 1-0 up and cruising with orient looking beyond useless and within 15 minutes we are 2-1 behind. Both shit goals for them and we scrape a draw when we should of won 4-0 in all honesty.

In fairness we had a definite pen turned away and the ref wasn't great full stop but what's new. We are a decent team but not a great team. A draw probably a fair result with 2 ok teams slugging out a 2-2 draw.

Cov fans were great as usual and deserve so much better. We all do. We did play 4-4-2 by the way and I highly doubt we will get a much better chance to win away.

Barton and finch looked good as a positive but madine and nouble do not work together as both too similar. Jackson looked good when on and needs to start as he is very fast so that's justifies that.

Overall I've had a good day but could have been so much better but also worse. We need to start winning away. Today was such a missed opportunity.

We can't keep conceding 2+ goals per game. We're never going to put a decent run together whilst we're doing that.

It's the 7th league game running we've conceded 2+ goals.

We've not kept a cleansheet since 5 September (Vs Gillingham) that was 11 games ago.

Exactly my concern. Not sure having to big strikers works as well and would much rather a big target man, small, zippy striker alongside.

Couldn't agree more and for us it's evrrything. We are good going forward. Look at all the goals we have conceded from those last 7 games and how many were any good goals?

Not many. Lots of poor defensive errors.

Now were back to 442, I think we look better. But still letting poor goal after poor goal in which is a major concern.

Subbing Webster who came on as a sub shows SP no longer rates him and uses him only when he has to. Know the injury to Reda wasn't planned (although with his record should probably have been expected) it makes you wonder why Clarke has been allowed to go, atleast while Phillips is sidelined anyway.

Forward wise, I though Madine offered us more than Nouble today, although Nouble was the more physical. Both offer us something up top, but can they play together? I don't think so (although too easy to say that after only one game and be completely wrong!!).

Still think if we're going to play a flat 4 midfield though we need someone instead of Fleck on the left. Otherwise you end up with a kind of diamond.

Thought Barton did well again atleast until the last 10 or so minutes. Could easily have gifted Orient a winner just after we equalised
