Thomas on to save a point. Or get the winner maybe? Hmmm

Ricketts off

Eh?

[hill83]

The injured one?

Earlsdon has already decided that was a smoke screen so it's a fact in his mind now.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

did Tudgay coming on change it all? I dunno not there but is there a link ?

Thought if you give a penalty you can't give a red card under new rules?..

YEP

No you can still be sent off if its deliberate:


It is no longer an automatic red card if a player or goalkeeper brings down an opponent while acting as the last line of defence; where a genuine attempt has been made to play the ball, officials will be allowed to give a penalty and only book the offender.

But deliberate fouls - including holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity - will still result in dismissal.

Wont exactly help us get an equalizer though will it

Neither does having 10 men

 

[sw88]

Harries and Willis at the back

Another penalty

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Another penalty to Bradford

 

[skybluesam66]

3-1

 

[sw88]

I could cry

 

[Skybluebrummie]

ahhh so having 10 men means we just lie down and take a beating

 

[chiefdave]

Not directly his fault, but come on.

Its hardly his fault that we conceded a pen and got a player sent off is it?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Goal 3-1

 

[James Smith]

Oh bollocks it's all gone pear shaped. Come on Coventry get the lead back.

 

[Nick]

This is embarassing really.

Mowbray needs to have a think really, you can't go from being all over them to this.

 

[sw88]

Great penalty that. Top corner

 

[Bruce the Boot]

Game of 2 Halfs

 

[Skybluebrummie]

fuck fuck fuckity fuck

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Is that 2 pens in 4 games given away by Gazdev?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

ahhh so having 10 men means we just lie down and take a beating

No but I think having 10 men is a bigger disadvantage than Agyei being subbed off.

 

[skybluesam66]

need to have a rethink quick
need a good ball playing midfielder - a good winger, and somebody else to play up top
we need to put teams away or we will struggle badly

 

[sw88]

Tudgay tried the spectacular. Fails spectacularly

 

[higgs]

Dropped into relegation zone now

Yup cause signing an unfit player would help us ....

Instead of lapping up everything that is being said to you, use your initiative.

He wasn't unfit. Mowbray said he may have had a bad injury previously, but those comments were excused straight afterwards when he said we signed Turnbull instead.

It's comments like that which he uses to try and stop the fans getting on his back, and it sadly works.

One suspension like this and we suddenly look fragile again, if he has other defenders lined up then fair enough, but i'd be surprised.

So do we just keep signing loads of strikers?

Doesn't matter now...we are fucked either way

fair enough

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

11 players on the pitch, Mr Aup front next time and we beat northamptoon at home. Let's get all of our bad luck out of the way this afternoon and take the positives from the first half (still...ggrrrrrrrr)

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The injured one?

He wasn't injured.

 

[skybluesam66]

we need quality not quantity
we dont have enough quality - and that shows when Tudgay and Thomas are on the bench

 

[Liquid Gold]

We need to work on this formation. Can't keep playing wing backs, I've never seen us consistently perform with wing backs

 

[percy]

i cant wait till september

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Yea we are, because we gave away a penalty and had a player sent off. Not because of the substitution.
