Cba with rating the whole team, I will make a few points about today however.
Maddison looked very comfortable on the ball as if he'd been playing the game for years, not a left winger mind, really came into the game when deployed through the middle.
Thought Aaron Martin made umpteen interceptions and vital tackles, very pleased to have him back.
Willis isn't technically good enough to play at right back, need Phillips starting asap.
Reda needs to concentrate on his defensive duties, tried to play far too much football for some unknown reason.
Finch sadly looks like 'Conor Thomas Mark II', at the very least his was well out of his depth. Allowing Geddes (Formerly of Walsall) to run the game after the red card.
From a tactical point of view I have to commend Worcester, who came with a game plan and executed it to perfection (Although the RC helped).
Knowing that we like to play the ball out from the back and try to play the 'Coventry way' they pressed us ridiculously high up the pitch especially in the first half, with their fullbacks starting positions much advanced from their actual back line.
As a result we just couldn't start attacks and the ball kept going back to Burge, which admittedly didn't do great things for the lads mentality.
What stemmed from that was lots of aimless long balls, mainly in the direction of Jackson who obviously got dominated by former Stoke and Burnley CB Wayne Thomas, who along with Geddes was their best player.
This leads me to the games turning point. As bad a performance as people believe it was, up until the RC neither team was creating anything of note.
Burge does what he does (although not sure how it's a pen as the ball wasn't in play) and they score the pen. This is where Pressley made a key mistake in taking off the physical presence of Nouble leaving 5ft nothing Jackson as our lone striker. Perhaps his thinking was that on the break his pace would be key, but there was nothing to suggest we'd be able to string passes together to then feed Jackson through balls.
Pressley's second mistake was not screaming his Jock balls off when Reda picked the ball up for the pen, having seen his wayward shot five minutes earlier even my brother said 'Er why the fuck does Reda have the ball in his hands'. That was our chance to secure a replay.
Overall it was a very bad day at the office for the players and Pressley, saying that we could and arguably should have got something out of it second half with the chances we had.
Instead of looking too deeply into this, we should move on and concentrate on the league (And acquiring a new cm) as, let's be honest the fa cup means nothing to us and I couldn't care less if we don't get a day out at Arsenal in the 3rd round.
People on Twitter etc are making it out as the worst day in our history, in the grand scheme of things it's a nothing game in terms of our season, get over it, move on, done. (Although if those who hold that view keep banging on and get Pressley the sack, that would be one positive from today)
One more thing, where were Fleck and Madine?
