[AFCCOVENTRY]

Robins was crazy not playing Bassette more

We all said it

[covcity4life]

We were so deep in their box at times and nobody dared to just have a go and shoot. Only MVE tried a shot that hit the post and went out. That was disappointing.

We were trying to break then down tbf. A few crosses rebound differently and perhaps we get the 3rd who knows

overall play was good though

 

[Otis]

Think he had to take Norman off. On a yellow and they were clearly targeting him

Definitely.

People can say leave him on all they want. The guy was odds on to get sent off, 100%

 

[fatso]

I'd of settled for a point before kick off, so you've got to be happy.
Lots of positives from the performance (even before the red card) and you can't fault the effort, and Carr gets plenty of credit.

I've said it before, we are only a couple of decent defenders away from being a very good side.

Bassette man of the match, some great shithousery.

 

[clint van damme]

Is Dasilva good going forward? He’s so ponderous when he gets in the final third

He can't defend. And that's his primary objective

 

[pusbccfc]

Bassette potentially would have got sent off in the 2nd half. If he stayed on reckon he’s got the winner.

Yeah he had to go off really.

Simms should have been on earlier.

 

[Matt smith]

Encouraged by that

We have to stick with 4/3/3

 

[Matt smith]

He can't defend. And that's his primary objective

Yeah agreed, cost us both goals

usual theme

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Is Dasilva good going forward? He’s so ponderous when he gets in the final third

He doesn’t have the athleticism to beat a man

 

[stupot07]

The same Thomas who got man of match from sky? I may not quite agree with that, but certainly says he isn't the confectionery you make him out to be.

He scored the equaliser, typical sky sport MOTM

We were trying to break then down tbf. A few crosses rebound differently and perhaps we get the 3rd who knows

overall play was good though

I called 15 passes in their half in a row ahead of time. You shouldn’t be able to do that. Far far too predictable going forwards. Started well but fell back to old habits passing around the U

 

[alexccfc99]

What's Wilder not happy about? It's beyond me.

course he’s not happy

it’s never his or his sides fault

the biggest prized prick in football

 

[pusbccfc]

Yeah agreed, cost us both goals

usual theme

Bidwell isn't that good at defending either.

 

[shmmeee]

He can't defend. And that's his primary objective

He’s a wide midfielder that’s not his primary job.

 

[shmmeee]

Bidwell isn't that good at defending either.

Bidwell was atrocious when he came on.

 

[stupot07]

Sakamoto is our best crosser of the ball in the squad from open play by an absolute country mile.

 

[Matt smith]

Bidwell isn't that good at defending either.

He’s better than da Silva

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Bidwell was atrocious when he came on.

Looked stiff

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Yeah he had to go off really.

Simms should have been on earlier.

Bassette on a yellow is better than scaredy-cat Simms any day of the week.

 

[pusbccfc]

He’s better than da Silva

Didn't look that way when he came on

 

[Wolston-Sky Blues]

A bit disappointed would have taken a point but Sheffield United were there for the taking and looked absolutely knackered after about 65 minutes.

 

[pusbccfc]

Bidwell was atrocious when he came on.

Agreed. It was stark the difference between the two.

 

[stupot07]

Bidwell was atrocious when he came on.

He's never been good coming off the bench late in games. Not helped by EMC running away from him every time he got the ball, when he's calling for him to come feet.

 

[Macca]

Would it be crazy to hive RC a crack at this. Accept the answer is probably yes

 

[Matt smith]

Didn't look that way when he came on

He had no defending to do

their second goal da Silva just has to clear his lines

 

[skybluegod]

Pressley is looking fucking old isn't he on sky.

 

[jordan210]

If we could defend we would be up 6

I thought we got some good play between winger and wing back towards end. Made space in the box for once

Just couldn't get that final pass or cross right

Sheafs chance from corner was great I can't believe he shot it wide

 

[shmmeee]

EMC has no idea how to play with him clearly.

 

[clint van damme]

He’s a wide midfielder that’s not his primary job.

What?! He's been targeted as a defensive weak spot in several games.
They go over him or inside him. We can't continue with him there.

Sheafs chance from corner was great I can't believe he shot it wide

We couldn’t get the final pass right because by the time we got around to making it our strikers had given up guessing when it’s going in and their defenders were well set.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Bidwell isn't that good at defending either.

Compared to Da Silva he’s like Maldini

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

He’s a wide midfielder that’s not his primary job.

What on earth. You do realise the role of wing backs is to defend and attack don't you?

 

[Nick]

Is Dasilva good going forward? He’s so ponderous when he gets in the final third

No it's a myth

 

[shmmeee]

Considering his lack of tactical awareness was reason Robins got the boot it would be fucking mental to appoint him.
