Half time. Lucky it’s only 2-0. Brighton yet to get out of second gear and break a sweat
Barratt a wide man? he hasn't offered any width in any of the games he's played in this season.

I don't think anybody knows, been saying it for weeks.
We are relying on somebody scoring a worldie.
He’s not alone! We’re a shambles defensively. Offensively I can understand that we might struggle against premiership teams but from a defensive point of view surely any pro footballer knows how to mark a man?
i think I can safely go ahead and book my train tickets for Crewe now.
Nothing wrong with under 23 loans if they are better than you already have. Barratt and JMD don't look any better than our own youngsters.

Locadia. Premier League striker needing 5 golden opportunities for 1 goal.
The guy on tv said it was like our defenders have an invisible barrier they can't cross
no one wants to see us lose but they're 63 places and 3 leagues above us. What do people really expect?
Completely outplayed, no question about it.
Seen us play better though, always either hoofing it up to JCH (looking at you Haynes) or trying the difficult ball. Keep things simple.
Let's see what the second half brings but I think this is the end of the cup run.

Commentator on sports net saying the same. We make the most basic errors, get a free kick in their half play it back when it should be going into the box
Ah they do say you pick your big players for big game...Robins took that literally

they're always a gamble though. Young players are notoriously inconsistent, just look at our own youngsters. I don't think it's the route we should go down.
We've done it now but it shouldn't be something we pursue in the future.
This is what a premier league team not trying to get their manager sacked looks like.
I’m pretty convinced it makes no difference other than a positive one winning games. We are on a bad run. We are missing
Jones
Andreu
Davies
Doyle
McDonald
Others carrying knocks and people are wondering why we are struggling to compete at a premier league team with a 12.5m striker up front
Ffs wake up will you!!
Summed it up perfectly, play it back to Burge to lump it long and lose possession.
If your gonna lose it put it in the box
Jch header and things could hsve been dofferent. Oh well. Lets hooe dont lose by more than 3 or 4
We're so defensive, we had no width, we try to play football in the wrong areas and thr amount of cheap ball we give away is ridiculous. Its pretty much how we play in the league, that free kick summed it up, it ended going back to burge who had to launch it anyway.

David Pleat on BBC Radio 5 live:
"If someone asked me are Coventry a direct side or do they play through the middle, I honestly could not say."
"They simply do not have the speed or the guile to trouble Brighton."
