To be fair it's the only time he's given it away that half. Poor pass but like you say under a lot of pressure and no options.

Simms did really well there, defender was all over him

Defender was grabbing and holding him right in front of the lino. How is that not a foul?

agree

As usual a stimulating and diverse discussion on here but I think all but the most fanciful would agree we would have taken 0-0 at half time if offered before kick off. Keeping shape well and a potent attack out. Just need to change something up front to buy us time, a breather and maybe a against run of play goal.

Simms getting manhandled right in front of the linesman for 10 seconds and no foul given. Baffling

Yeah this was insane, he was literally pleading with the linesman whilst getting hugged from behind.

It’s a reference to poor decision making.

Cant believe were playing JDS and JBW on one side and MVE and TSM on the other.

WTF

Not a bad half, tactics are working well so far.

Thing is dasilva is a defender. We are basically playing with 4 wingbacks in Bidwell JD sakamoto and Ewjik which is to nullify Leeds pace on the wings. If JD comes off for ohare they'd likely target Bidwell.

Johnnythespider · Dec 16, 2023

Done well that half, restricted them to half chances and with a bit more care in the final third we could have snatched a lead, interesting second half coming, will Robins dare to gamble for the last 10-15 minutes?

2024/25 League 1 Champs? · Dec 16, 2023

decent first half, Lati between defence and midfield working well, I think we can afford to take one of Eccles / Sheaf off for Palmer / O’Hare early ish 2nd half given the Leeds midfield isn’t particularly big or physical, even Ampadu and Kamara

BackRoomRummermill · Dec 16, 2023

We have come for a draw in my opinion

steve101 · Dec 16, 2023

Decent performance. Need to maintain focus at the back, as one error can easily undo the good work. Simms looks quite good on his own. Looking a bit stronger on the ball and his pace is there to see.
I would like to see Wright on for Da Silva on the hour.

mrtrench · Dec 16, 2023

Well played City. We have limited them to a couple of chances and had a few ourselves. The defensive unit is playing well. Simms has improved holding up the ball. Keeping the ball mostly well when we get it. Sheaf needs to stop the wobble on passing accuracy over the past 135 minutes in its tracks.

When you pick the ball up in defensive midfield, this is not what you want to see when you look up!

IT'S A PICTURE NOT A VIDEO!

SkyblueTexan · Dec 16, 2023

I bet if Gyo was along one v one with the defender, he would have outmuscled him to score. Simms needs to use his physicality more. But he did show a few nice touches

Jamesimus · Dec 16, 2023

We've done well. Limited their chances, look organised. The games got some spicy challenges going in.

Going to plan so far.

Might be able to keep plan B in the back pocket for another game

Hoof it up then

steve101 · Dec 16, 2023

Latibeudiere harassing well and break up play. A Kelly-type performance.

stupot07 · Dec 16, 2023

Decent half, we've defended quite well, and have had 1 or 2 dangerous problems and the only shot on target so far. Leeds are a far far better side than us but we are holding them at bay.

Some excellent performances, Simms has held the ball up really well whenever he's had a half decent ball to him. Sheaf and Eccles having decent games in the centre and Lati has made a few important challenges.

Unfortunately with Dasilva on the left we have nothing on the left, but Saka always looks dangerous when we can get him in the ball in the final third.

Gotta say, I was sceptical when we signed him but Kitching has been excellent since hes come into the side.

Where's da Silva playing

On the pitch unfortunately....

AFCCOVENTRY · Dec 16, 2023

Half time couch is nice to look at

djr8369 · Dec 16, 2023

Feel we are over playing it looking for the perfect opening and we won’t get it as Leeds are organised and get back in position while we pass the ball around.

I think gamble and get the early ball in for Simms.

Palmer for Jay DeS second half ?

covcity4life · Dec 16, 2023

Just tried ifollow and it's working again. Anyone else?

We'll_live_and_die · Dec 16, 2023

Feels a lot like the saints game to me. Sitting deep and not conceding. A point at worst a surprise win at best.

SkyblueTexan · Dec 16, 2023

Ref has been decent. Lucky he didn't fall for all those pen appeals by Leeds who are only too happy to dive in the box..cheating bastards

Yeah they fixed it midway through the first half.

It started working at around the 20 min mark for me

CovLad94 · Dec 16, 2023

Not too bad, just tidy things up bit and we can get a result out of this, Dasilva been a bit quiet and can tell he's out of position , would imagine Cal or Haji will come on for him after 10 or so mins

Just be good to come away with something and not get mugged off
