Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Dec (30 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Why is nearly every goal we concede such a farce?

[Perennial Lurker]

"Elite tactician"

Can you not see the major differences in our play then ?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Sick of this crap, honestly. It's like watching a crap TV series where more or less every episode follows the exact same plot. You know what's going to happen.

 

[stupot07]

We are so slow in possession, I'd hate to be a striker in this team, you never know when or if the ball is coming into you.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Is it too early to start drinking?

Ask Parks

 

[ccfc922]

What's concerning is just before their goal, Torp took the ball away from the edge of our area and we allowed all their players to get back behind the ball and return to (As their commentator said) walking pace football.

 

[covcity4life]

Playing well? We have hardly looked like scoring and can’t defend.

We have had some good chances and got into promising areas where we need to add to that shit count from with better crosses

Defence wise we have limited then to very little bar the goal

I get that many won't agree and will be angry were losing but I'm quite optimistic with what I am seeing

 

[Chris1987]

Yet he’s was getting better results than Lampard thus far

Lol . Stupid comment . 3 and a half games is hardly a significant sample size.

 

[Liquid Gold]

can't score any chances

concede every time an attacker looks at our goal

mad to think anybody thinks this is a decent team

 

[Sick Boy]

Bassette is one of the most overrated players to have played for us in recent years.

 

[shmmeee]

Every week I like one of our ex players playing for the opposition more than any of our lot.

 

[fatso]

4-4-2 second half please, Simms and BTA on for Bassette and Rudoni or Torp.

Batter them and they'll fold

 

[Frostie]

Can you not see the majority differences in our play then ?

Yes. Not many positive ones though.

 

[shmmeee]

Bassette is one of the most overrated players to have played for us in recent years.

Belgian Tavares.

 

[MacReady]

In fairness to Bassett he’s not a lone striker type - he’d play better off Simms. This lone striker malarkey is bollocks. Just like this shite team. Proper grumpy.

 

[Jamesimus]

Kasey Palmer has been shite as well.

Simms for Bassette half time. The latter will be a good player, don’t care what people on here can’t see. He is however having a mare today and I don’t think it’s the game for him - we’re putting lots of crosses into the box.

 

[Covstar]

Lots of possession, go down the wings, aimlessly cross the ball, win the ball, repeat.

Why don't we ever try to switch it up and actually play through the middle for once?

 

[ccfc922]

We are so slow in possession, I'd hate to be a striker in this team, you never know when or if the ball is coming into you.

Then when the ball does come towards you, it's 60-70% towards the opponent, so you're having to win the ball again before doing anything else

 

[gspotgaz]

I fucking hate Da Silva, honestly he is the worst defender I’ve ever seen at this level

 

[bukayosakamoto]

It’s fine guys, we’re maintaining our high xG

It's unbelievable how a team can get promoted to the xG Premier league while actually getting relegated

 

[chiefdave]

Hull are absolutely woeful, but apparently we’re worse

 

[Evo1883]

Yes. Not many positive ones though.

We're definitely a bit slower

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Can you not see the majority differences in our play then ?

No. They look clueless today and cannot break down the worst team in the league.

 

[Ian1779]

Is it too early to start drinking?

Already started

 

[Liquid Gold]

Genuine question. Whose fault is it that we paid double what most all these players are actually worth, put all our eggs in the ‘future potential’ basket and have an imbalanced squad with no leaders? Is it King? Robins? The recruitment team?

Darragh Mcanthony must have been taking the piss saying King was a tough negotiator after he banked nearly £5 for EMC

 

[LastGarrison]

We really need some leaders in this team.

Far too soft across all areas.

 

[itsabuzzard]

If FL can't get a positive response from these players in the second half after dominating the first, the outlook is grim. Simms on straight away.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We have had some good chances and got into promising areas where we need to add to that shit count from with better crosses

Defence wise we have limited then to very little bar the goal

I get that many won't agree and will be angry were losing but I'm quite optimistic with what I am seeing

We’re playing the shittest team in the league, at home. There shouldn’t be an easier game quite frankly

 

[robbiethemole]

Ball in the six yard box, a competent keeper claims that but no, WEVE got Brad fucking Collins

 

[Sandgroper Skybluel]

Trust the process. We have played well. Lampard is making improvements and the potential when we click is exciting

Scoreline isn't gonna change how I feel. We're doing well and will pick up what we deserve either second half or in the next games

Get outta of here with your rational thoughts.

 

[steve101]

How on earth are we losing that?! Van Erwijk is really starting to get on my nerves with his performances. He is so careless in possession and his crossing from good positions is so poor.
We need more runs driving at their defence. Its all too deliberate.

 

[lewys33]

Painfully slow … even with FL trying to get a quick throw we went backwards

 

[standupforcity]

I genuinely hate this team

Go and support someone else then!?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Bassette is one of the most overrated players to have played for us in recent years.

That's harsh . He's got great attributes but is way too raw to be a regular starter yet . Simms on the bench makes no sense currently

 

[ccfc922]

Bassette is one of the most overrated players to have played for us in recent years.

Think his effort shone and gave a skewed opinion of him due to how poor everyone else was at the beginning of the season.
