Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Monday 30th Oct (12 Viewers)

Possession based football works great if you have players constantly moving into areas dragging the opposition around the pitch. We don't do that , it's walking football a lot of the time. So easy to counteract. That's most likely down to Robins or are the players just incapable or a combination of both ? Having no midfield creativity doesn't help either.

Exactly this. When WBA bothered to play last night they were dragging our player all over, people coming short, overlapping, etc. We are so static aside from Saka.

Hmmm

 

[alexccfc99]

I will call you blindly optimistic if that’s alright

Not even remotely concerned

Happy to wager you £20 to a charity of your choice that by the Brum away match we are mathematically safe from relegation

When is that?

 

[alexccfc99]

When is that?

13 April - No particular reason I chose that match just the first one that stood out

 

[shmmeee]

Hmmm

You don’t have to be excellent to not get relegated

Charity bet accepted and bookmarked.

We look terrible.

As I've said mate there's absolutely no relationships in the camp. The likes of Fadz, Allen, Godden, Callum etc have all tried to include the new signings, get them to a level on the training and matchday pitch, arrange to do things outside of the club, and its just not being reciprocated.

Apparently MVE is very egotistical and believes his own Rhetoric.


Take a look at Fadz interview yesterday. When has he ever been so downhearted? He didnt even know if Wright had a boy or a girl. Imagine that being the case between players for the last 3 or 4 seasons? That interview says it all to me, and I hope people realise this is the reason why I've said for a while we are genuinely in trouble this year.

Part of the reason as to Why Robins is so lost also. Hes prided himself on players that fight, battle, carry off his instructions to a tee on the field. This lot dont do any of that, the recruitment has been horrifying

Hang on, you've said players that have been around a long time, like Fadz, have tried to build a relationship with the new players - but it's not reciprocated. Yet in the interview on CWR last night, he didn't even know whether Wright's kid was a boy or a girl. I might be in the minority here, but if I'm even making the slightest effort to build a relationship with someone, I'd probably try and remember what gender their kid is.

CHARITY BET ALERT

We have done the last two games

Bristol city was good first half

In fairness to McF he isn’t the sharpest tool in the box.

An illuminating response. Sadly, only in a literal sense

We’ve got QPR on the final day, could be to stay up

I just hope you’re ready to be challenged to a boxing match/get called a cuck/be asked to write a book review

Make no mistake it’s not a bet I particularly want to win

Maybe Kyle's stupidity is making Wright feel alienated. He may be repeatedly calling him "Hadji", or "Hagi", or one of the other versions used on here.

Don’t get him started on Yakatomo

Course not, think you’ve got a great chance though

If you watch the offside back it’s very marginal. Hardly obvious.

True but hard to take when Wright had 3 or 4 which were just as tight and flag went up every time

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We don’t look anything like a relegation team.

Teams who can’t score and gift the opposition soft goals every game tend to go down.

Being able to pass it around nicely 30 yards from goal when we’re already losing doesn’t earn any bonus points.

It’s offside

he didn’t do his job properly

the linesman was a wanker

 

[jordan210]

Whats worrying is every time Saka tried to play a ball in from the byline no one in the box made any sort of movement to go to the ball. Multiple times he played a low diagonal ball the the penalty spot and no one ever tried to get on to it all just stood around waiting for it to come to them.

‘Camaraderie’ is great but I don’t think it’s as important as people make out, we’ve all heard the Sheringham/Cole scenario, half the Wimbledon Crazy Gang couldn’t stand eachother either

Whether they get on or not they’re all going to want the same thing, it really doesn’t, or shouldn’t matter if Haji doesn’t fancy going for a Nandos with Fadz and Wilson as soon as they cross the white line and I’d hope grown men, some of which are over 30 can see it like that

You wouldnt know if they didnt want to bother responding to you and spending time with you

I don’t think this story reflects as well on Fadz and co. as the person leaking it to you thinks it does

 

[alexccfc99]

But we’re signing a different dynamic of player now, we aren’t signing kids Ayari aside - We’re signing blokes some of which have families to go home to, who have kids to pick up from school or from childcare etc.

 

[alexccfc99]

Agreed, comes across very cliquey if what is being said is all correct - they’re not obligated to spend every minute of every day together

Were better than we were first season up and we didn’t come close to relegation there

Seriously? How does that work, Kyle approached him and said "you got any kids mate?". Wright stared him in the eye silently for a couple of seconds, and then backed away.

 

[skybluecam]

Not really heard Fadz speak much before and I can see why now. Sounded like a lost child in that interview.

Don’t be silly.

he wouldn’t make eye contact.

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Thought the problem last night stemmed from midfield. Took to many touches, Wright was making runs but no one wanted to at least try and make the pass. It slowed possession down and then we ended up trying to walk it into the net from around their box,- Wrights finishing needs to be better and Wilson had a howler. Another night we could have had 2 pens and the second goal ruled out for offside, we didnt handle the dark arts very well either, West Brom played on the edge with their game management.
