Dull...
Come up against a team who don't want to gift us the ball on the edge of their own area & we are completely bereft of ideas.

I don’t know how anyone can moan about atmosphere after we’ve just played out one of the most boring 45 minutes in Coventry history.

 

[shmmeee]

Same turgid shite it’s been most of the season. Slow shit passing around the U and no attempt to break their lines or do something different.

Chuck Rapha on

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Boring half doesn’t quite cover it. We need more creativity to unlock them. Would be Simms for Torp for me. Move Bassette into the wing position and play Rudoni in the centre

 

[ms639]

The centre midfield again so pedestrian, has moving rudoni out wide upset the balance? Surprised he messed with that rather than just playing BTA on the left.

Highlight of the half for Cov Bassette runs with ball… wasn’t much good that! Rafa on, Simms on for me can’t be much worse than what we’ve already tried

Think it needs somebody to try something and run at them.

Hopefully they will tire

 

[shmmeee]

Bidwell is absolutely in his last season at this level btw. Like watching Godden last year

 

[TomRad85]

Millwall want the game at snails pace and nick a 1-0. We're trying to figure out how to break them down without Wright and EMC. 0-0 at half time is ok.

 

[stupot07]

That was shit. Pedestrian, dull, one of the most boring halves of football I remember.

Half the team are having stinkers. Can see us losing this 1-0.

Dasilva is rubbish, you have to deal with it.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I waiting to see the improvements this game

It sure what this has to do with Bidwell being rubbish but sure.

 

[covcity4life]

Saka needs to step up. He's the only true winger and he's not trying to impact the game

Rudoni done ok tbf but would like him back central.

Simms is like to see given 30 mins or so if not the entire second half

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Worth trying Raphael on the left second half , put Rudoni back centrally?

for who, Torp or Eccles

weird that it looks like Torp is a different player with and without Eccles in midfield, and arguably vice-versa

 

[Paxman II]

Get Simms on. Bassette shows inexperience there. Should of got hold of it and waited for players to join him. He runs all day but has zero threat I'm afraid. Can we stop passing it around the defence so much and get our midfield on the ball and turn it? We have had no threat, no real chances the whole half. be more direct, throw in a long goal kick, mix it up.

 

[Alkhen]

Bassette off Simms on, skipping record from me.

All a bit aimless at the moment. They are very well organised and we are struggling for ideas. There isn't the space to play balls for Norm to chase so may as well have a physical presence up top instead

 

[fernandopartridge]

Time for the tactical genius to show its worth at half time

Bring on JDS

 

[covcity4life]

Well it's the reason most ppl big up bidwell so much let's be honest.

 

[The watchmaker]

Getting excited for this one . Believe we have more then enough to build a run with another home win!

Still?

 

[shmmeee]

Bring on JDS

I still want to see Binks there. Just to see. We need better in Jan.

 

[Sick Boy]

I waiting to see the improvements this game

We've not conceded a couple of sloppy goals, yet!

 

[Nick]

It sure what this has to do with Bidwell being rubbish but sure.

I mean it's pretty obvious why it's related.

 

[jto123]

On the plus side…no goals conceded for another half of football

 

[Alkhen]

Saka needs to step up. He's the only true winger and he's not trying to impact the game

Rudoni done ok tbf but would like him back central.

Simms is like to see given 30 mins or so if not the entire second half

30 mins at the end on at the same time they take Saka off and we stop any wing play

 

[shmmeee]

I mean it's pretty obvious why it's related.

All out left backs are poor. Does that pass the nick test?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Hard to see what the plan is. Moving to so slowly that they’re able to get set in their shape and we’re just constantly playing it out to the left and getting crowded out. MVE looks scared to cross the half way line so Sakamoto is dropping incredibly deep to try and get the ball and he’s just so ineffective in those areas. Something needs to change at half time.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Amazing how quickly EMC has become the heartbeat of this team.

 

[Macca]

Time for the tactical genius to show its worth at half time

Lets hope we win eh?

 

[SBAndy]

They are very compact. Every time we create an overload out wide we go the other way. Poor decision making, far too slow and risk averse.

Think we've had one shot on target , desperately missing a threat on the left. Everytime Taso has th ball he is surrounded by 2 of their players. Maybe bring Simms on and even Tavares for some speed or width or the Australian guy ?

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

People complained that all the action was in the first half on Boxing Day, so clearly the plan was to redress the balance today. Barnstorming second half on its way!!!!

 

[clint van damme]

Saka needs to step up. He's the only true winger and he's not trying to impact the game

He's hardly impacted any game this season

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

No subs out warming up yet

When lats got bored and lumped it to Saka was the best we’d attacked. At least the cat was amongst the pigeons in their half for a change.
