Match Thread Coventry City - Bristol City FC Match Thread - Saturday 18th Jan

[shmmeee]

I know everyone apparently is desperate for them to be sold, but BTA and especially Latibeaudiere have had a good half there

Dasilva too.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Midfield is an utter joke. Need 2 signings there

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Silly foul by JDS

 

[Nick]

Started off ropey but then actually attacked them and got shots off.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Awful from dasilva to give that free kick away

Just brainless, the defensive header before that wasn't good either though

 

[covboy9]

We are bang average at best and atmosphere is rubbish

 

[stupot07]

Bit of a Meh! Half. Some good bits some terrible bits.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Decent 10 minute spell in the middle but overall pretty dull. Safety first football without many players who are willing to try and make something happen.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

The quality of our play overall is very poor.

 

[shmmeee]

Scrappy and crappy today. BTA looks good, Simms much better, Dasilva showing Milan how you should use the ball as a wingback (hint it’s not always backwards). Defence looks dodgy other than Dovin. Torp played a few nice balls. Allen busy and always available.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We’ve been settled since the first 10 but the quality is absolute dross

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Congratulations to the ref for providing the best entertainment of the game with that corner

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

Can't be mad at Asante tbh, Wright and EMC fully fit he's warming the bench, it's not an application issue, it's a mixture of ability and the front 3 being fed nothing but scraps.

 

[procdoc]

Both teams look bang average. But can’t fault our effort

 

[fernandopartridge]

We've had literally no new manager bounce at all, there is just no zip to anything we do. It's laboured. It probably doesn't help with the injuries we've got but I'm not sure what sort of goal we're trying to score.

 

[Sick Boy]

I don't see anything there

He's yet another player we overpaid on.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

This really is average football.

 

[pusbccfc]

That was fine but of course people are fuming. Supposedly far better side than us and we're equally wasteful on the ball.

Simms is holding up well. Their centre halves are desperate for his shirt. Give it a few more times and it will be in pieces.

 

[Nick]

They probably had the best chance with that one on one dovin saved but we should have done loads better with our shooting. It's been terrible.

 

[shmmeee]

He's yet another player we overpaid on.

Said before he’s a promising young player you drop £2m on not a £5m tentpole signing.

 

[usskyblue]

Basics again. Passing from the back is horrendous. Zero creativity in midfield. Balls into the front two horrendous. It’s another hard fuckingwatch

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Get that wallet out Doug you useless clown

Could do with getting them on bookings

 

[steve101]

Passing and decision making is so poor. Very lucky that we haven't been punished for our sloppiness.
Smart save from Dovin.
We are desperate for a CM who can show composure.

I know everyone apparently is desperate for them to be sold, but BTA and especially Latibeaudiere have had a good half there

BTA loses the ball almost every time he gets it. I've watched him closely for a few games now in an attempt to see the positives but it's difficult. His touch is poor, he can't make simple passes and its all head down running up a blind alley stuff.

 

[procdoc]

We've had literally no new manager bounce at all, there is just no zip to anything we do. It's labourer

I said a few days ago it was utterly pointless sacking Robins. It’s not like Lampard is going to be able to do too much transfer wise either. I don’t dislike Lampard, he’s doing ok with what he’s got but at least back him in the transfer market

 

[torchomatic]

BTA having a good game. JdS good too apart from that silly foul.

 

[Liquid Gold]

This is just fucking boring. What’s the point at the moment.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I just do not get the amount of backwards passes we play. Is that coming from the coaches??

 

[shmmeee]

Really not sure how you can say his touch is poor today.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Get that wallet out Doug you useless clown

In fairness to him he's spent a good few million on the 11 out there, there is only Allen who wasn't signed under King's tenure and I think only JDS who we didn't pay a fee for.

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

Rudoni is shit

The fact people genuinely compare him to O'Hare is ridiculous

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Good half for me, had some decent chances to score and looked ok at the back other than a couple of rogue passes early on…

can’t understand why people are calling out players for being shit, yeah some are playing below their level and we know they are better, but it’s difficult when your own fans are on your back!

 

[Seymour_East]

I’m

Second to every ball. It's not ability it's effort

Agreed half a yard short at least

 

[Deleted member 7943]

Lati misplaced 2 passes in terrible areas and has wandered off twice leaving huge gaps but sure .. great half

As for the football
