...and some Bradford views:
What a bizarre debut - two goals for a defender (a huge, huge unit) and some good touches on occasion - but ultimately, he gave away the most needless penalty I've seen in a long, long time, couldn't beat Hanson in the air, and produced two or three comedy moments.
If Coventry are genuinely looking at Rede as a yardstick of their season, they're in for a very entertaining roller coaster ride, probably seeing them in the bottom six.
They looked pretty ropey at the back last season and clearly it hasn't improved. I can see them struggling both ends as their strikers were largely ineffective too, bit of a surprise really as PP said in the pulse interview they've recruited a fair few championship standard players. Maybe they'll take time to gel so playing them this early is a good thing, rather like Brentford last season
Some interesting scenes from the cov fans. They seemed to be under the impression they had won the fa cup when they equalised, kept chanting about the worst player on the pitch (johnson), throw numerous missiles at their own keeper, after we scored the winner decide to get ejected.
Last season Coventry placed a fast paced passing game with lots of through balls. This year they looked toothless upfront and the defence seemed to be lacking focus. I can't say I noticed Tudgay? In any case I think coventry will still do ok but really lacking that cutting edge from last year, I fear a step backwards?
