Tell you what though, if we can’t beat Hull then there’s a problem.

There’s about half a dozen on here that whenever anyone points out that Sheaf loses the ball more than he should start dribbling like walruses.

They probably go around shouting at clouds when they’re not on here.

He played well today

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Was godden offside?

Good question. Not sure.

 

[cc84cov]

He played well today

No complaints from me with sheaf today

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

For Hull I would bring Kane in for Dabo and Waghorn for Gyo to give him a rest

 

[wingy]

Was godden offside?

About as offside as Tyler in the week.

 

[Evo1883]

Hamer looks like a headless chicken when Kelly is on .. thought he and sheaf were very good first half

 

[usskyblue]

Unbeaten at home, still 4th. Go to the box vs Hull and turn around the away form.

Happy dayz

Oh
Sorry…

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

All 4 teams directly below us lost today, our last 3 games are just a blip, got a good feeling about Hull next week!

Next week has to be a win. They’re a poor side

 

[shmmeee]

Haven’t read the thread but Hyam cost us three points there today. Though as a whole no energy second half at all. Very disappointing all round. First half looked comfortable. Then again like Preston decided 1-0 was enough and invited them on.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

The fact is Yok has been pivotal to our success so far this season. Even when not fully fit his physical presence and ability to hold the ball up gives the likes of OHare, Hamer, Godden, Dabo and Maatsen the space and opportunity to buzz around playing one twos in dangerous positions. You can only take him off if you absolutely have to. Certainly not when you're just 1-0 up.

100% the poor pass lead to their goal , and really it was needless

 

[COV]

Very strange subs again. Sheaf was our best player and we take him off - why? & why not bring Waghorn on after their goal, he would have been desperate to score

Is that the the main criteria for who to bring on?

the 2 subs cost us the win

 

[AJB1983]

Man in the middle on the edge of D playing him on I’d say. Even then the defender next to him it’s tight. Linesman has got to be sure to give that and I don’t think he can be…..

 

[fatso]

The man management of Walker is questionable after scoring 2 in 2.

Walker has done everything asked of him, but Gyokeres and Godden are different class. Godden has 2 in 2 and an assist and 1 disallowed and has contributed more to the team.

 

[COV]

Based on what do you think he is leaving? Do you know something?

Same as the U23 going to a Prem club probably

 

[cc84cov]

Same as the U23 going to a Prem club probably

I’ve asked Clive 236 times on that he’s never come back to me

 

[Johhny Blue]

Good turn out from Derby. It’s they don’t have any songs.
C’mon guys you all know the word

 

[Grendel]

Walker has done everything asked of him, but Gyokeres and Godden are different class. Godden has 2 in 2 and an assist and 1 disallowed and has contributed more to the team.

Godden has 2 in 2 as penalties - Elliot ward did that once - Godden is ok but get real Walker would have clubs in the championship gagging to sign him - Godden would have none

 

[wingy]

And that has to be honest as we know you love like a lot of us.
I'd say he's cost us 3 goals going back to Barnsley.

 

[The Philosopher]

He played well today

Not his worst game and as I said, does do some things well and can be tidy.

The problem is, he seems to me to lack awareness: when to tackle around the box. When to dwell on the ball. When to try the slide pass. His decision making is not fully developed

For the purpose of the stat-gimps:
Sheaf was not the worst player on the pitch. He has some quality. Real quality at times.

but:

He is not a midfield general.
He is prone to cock ups through lack of awareness.

 

[COV]

Hyam definitely has to take the blame for the goal, but I think there was more going on than just that when looking at why we didn’t win, felt like a goal was coming

 

[stevefloyd]

I thought Walker was poor today.

Walker looked as though he couldn't be arsed...probably had the hump

 

[Sick Boy]

Walker has done everything asked of him, but Gyokeres and Godden are different class. Godden has 2 in 2 and an assist and 1 disallowed and has contributed more to the team.

Godden isn’t different class to Walker and Walker got 2 in 2and was dropped; it’s poor man management and is demotivating. Oh, and a disallowed goal hahaha.

 

[Tommo1993]

Hyam at fault yeah. But it’s alarming how exposed we were on the right side of the area and the ball came back in.

 

[Evo1883]

Godden has 2 in 2 as penalties - Elliot ward did that once - Godden is ok but get real Walker would have clubs in the championship gagging to sign him - Godden would have none

My word , not disagreeing with your godden statement but fuck me the Walker one is mental .

The lad is 3rd/4th choice here at coventry City

 

[usskyblue]

Thought we played well… except from the 15 minute spell they had in the second half when they scored and we looked rattled… but we regained control as they played for a point.

The butthurt is we conceded from an error (initially). Some mouth breathers on here forget that we’ve capitalized countless times from errors like that… but it went the other way today. Shit happens, get the fuck over it.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It was almost like watching the same game twice except we just about didn’t lose. Little girl in front of me went out crying with frustration and I can’t blame her.

We also seem reluctant to shoot unless it’s from point blank

 

[RegiswasGod]

Was pretty level. Thought a change was needed but Kelly didn’t play as well as sheaf and Walker needed to replace godden

Godden was MOTM!

 

[Tommo1993]

There’s not a single club in the championship gagging for Walker ffs.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

My word , not disagreeing with your godden statement but fuck me the Walker one is mental .

Scores twice in consecutive starts then gets dropped.

 

[The Philosopher]

Walker can finish but doesn’t have enough about the rest of his game to make it in the champ. Godden has a bit of devil about him and can scheme but he’s 30.
