20 minutes of the second half 3-0 down and we have had 1 shot, Milan's long ranger.

Not sure about this formation

[AFCCOVENTRY]

At least we’re safe from relegation.
That was the fear after the first load of games at the start of the season

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

So essentially you’re putting Latis deficiencies and making them Eccles fault?

No

essentially I’m pointing out Lati isn’t a midfielder, and is limited in that position, and if you’re playing someone alongside him they need to understand and compensate

tonight Eccles hasn’t done that - he’s been out of position and his passing has been very poor

There’s no blame, it’s just facts

 

[Jamesimus]

Good from Lati then

 

[sw88]

Joel L is not a captain. Mental how we’ve gone from Mr dependable Fadz to this make shift man

 

[skyblu3sk]

Thomas is awful tonight worst game for us by far.

 

[procdoc]

Lots of players forward but nothing to do with a high press?

I give up.

Can you not read? How did the goals come from their press? First goal was a short corner, he crossed it and then the forward headed it in. What has that got to do with pressing?
The second goal Dasilva had an age to clear it and decided to Cruyff turn in his own box, again fuck all to do with pressing.
the third goal they hit us on the counter, again fuck all to do with pressing

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Riis is a nasty piece but he's been great for them tonight.

The lack of willingness to bring in loans and loaning back a signing in January will end up costing us.

It's not worked at all this season.

Bobby Thomas has very quietly had an absolutely shambolic month. He's been awful

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

O'Hare thinks he's in the premier league already

He’s quality in this league but he’s far from being Premiership quality. Maybe a squad player at most with one of the ex Prem teams going up this year.

 

[Great_Expectations]

We look so flat. Zero leadership out there.

We had to change something but formation change has added nothing at this point.

 

[Nick]

Godden coming on

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Fadz been fantastic for Blackburn.

We lack leadership on the pitch and have for a while.

 

[procdoc]

Godden coming on

Great

 

[Nick]

Please tell me he's not taking Simms off

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Missing Kitching?

 

[larry_david]

Godden coming on

That'll help

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Palmer slows us down

As does COH a lot if the time. It’s probably a tactical thing. Plays a lot of safe passes.

So essentially you’re putting Latis deficiencies and making them Eccles fault?

Lati looks a much better player as a 3rd CB.

 

[sw88]

3-0 down, nothing to play for as we aren’t coming back from this having had, what, 2 shots all game? And we’re going to bring on a player who is carrying a knock

 

[Deleted member 5849]

If Simms could control a football he'd be awesome.

 

[Nick]

He gives them a free kick because their bench wanted it.

This ref is awful

Have you not seen others say that even when we get a corner they leave players up then if they get the ball we're in trouble. They get a corner we all get back in defence. And it's us that need to score.

 

[Nick]

He's held it up very well tonight

 

[sw88]

Godden coming on

Yay

 

[Alkhen]

Punishment should be most of these start Monday, that'll teach them

 

[Nick]

Kick anybody out shining their phone.

 

[larry_david]

How many fouls do Preston wanna commit tonight

 

[skyblu3sk]

This ref is fucking useless

 

[fernandopartridge]

Please tell me he's not taking Simms off

TBF Simms has been poor second half, I think Godden makes sense on this occasion

Why has the ref not booked all the players who had a drink ls brake

 

[Matt smith]

Can you honestly see us bouncing back

 

[procdoc]

I don’t know why we bring everyone back to defend corners tbh

 

[sw88]

Fucking hell, the lights are back! Why?!?

I get the game is shite but the Mexican Wave would be less shit
