Gyokeres despite scoring less has offered more than Godden I think. He may not be on the scoresheet as much anymore but he is still a threat and runs rings around defenders, he opens up a lot of space for the rest of the teamI'd be looking more at playing Waghorn alongside Godden.
Gyökeres has had a poor start to the season. Defenders have been on him and he's not had a sniff beside the goal at Sunderland.
Agree with pretty much everything said so far. A few things I would add though:
- Palmer clearly has loads of ability. Hope he stays fit, him and O'Hare could be a menace in the box
- Gyokeres and Godden doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Maybe Waghorn deserves a go alongside Vik.
- Fadz is beginning to show his age at times now. He's so bloody slow. If Doyle continues that form I wouldn't be averse to Panzo getting a game in the middle to give Fadz a rest now and then.
I’ll say it again. Wilson makes one gaffe per game and it’s a lottery if it costs us. He was luckiest man on the pitch tonight with that decision. Utter lunacy to put him back in again. Back Moore to come good or sign a new keeper.
Bidwell continuing his decent start to season. Doyle positive. Palmer showed flashes again.
The rest hopeless.
Edit. Hamer did ok. Any idea why he didn’t start?
Got to say I think I’m going to love Palmer. And I will cry when Hamer leaves and we no longer get those beautiful driven cross field balls.
Thanks. Surely starting him and taking him off after 60 would be better. Also I thought he played 23s last week? The selection tonight was bizarre. Almost like he had an eye on Saturday. Would’ve thought tonight was the one to target.Robins said he hadn’t played for 19 days
I felt like crying after that ‘shot’ of his at the end

Thing is I’d rather a wildly off target shot than another push five yards away cos you’re scared to, or incapable of, shooting.
Say what you like about Hamer, but I’d pay more to watch him for five minute than three seasons of Jamie Allen or Jake Bidwell, regardless of their impact on the team, and ultimately that’s what football is about.

Can't recall if he's always or haven't noticed it before but Eccles' body language and facial expressions in general looked like a lad whos confidence is rock bottom.

As soon as Hamer came on you can just tell he is different gravy, cut above this level in everything he does. He like all our players ned match practice and why he got 30 mins was bizarre.Thought he played well and looked up for it when he came on, but yeah that shot in our last attack of the game...
Just knew he was going to do it too
Robins said he hadn’t played for 19 days
In 66 minutesSheaf back to giving the ball to an opposing player at every opportunity again. Would love to see the stats. Dreadful first half from the lot of them.

Eccles started poor the first 10 minutes he looked injured but I thought he settled and was okay until he went off, but he is not a full back and playing him there will drain his confidence he’s a central midfielder, nothing else and needs to be top of his game too.Can't recall if he's always or haven't noticed it before but Eccles' body language and facial expressions in general looked like a lad whos confidence is rock bottom.

The disappointing thing for me, other than Jamie Allen run about like an ageing dog trying to get the ball, is that after the game I didn't give a shit that we lost, I just accepted it. I felt I would have much rather stayed at home and watched Man City demolish Forest on the telly so thank you Shitsu and the knuckle draggers for fucking up and destroying the excitement of the new season...I am still in hope its just a temporary feeling because of all the shite we have had so far and the apparent disregard and ambition Shitsu seem to have for our beloved Coventry City FC.
I think one of the mistakes that not only forum posters make but also club recruitment staff is to rely so heavily on stats.Staggering! Shows what I know!

Still pedalling that nonsense?I think one of the mistakes that not only forum posters make but also club recruitment staff is to rely so heavily on stats.
Sheaf stats don’t take into account, for example, timing of pass (would a quicker release even if riskier created a better opportunity? ) pass selection (see Waghorn point)
Sheaf has improved and is a good player but he does have brainfarts far too often.
In fairness, that is very low by Sheaf's usual standard. He (and the team as a whole) were unusually sloppy in possession last night.
What it does highlight for me is just how little impact Allen has on games, 20 touches less than Sheaf despite playing 30 minutes more.
Yep I’m still peddling nonsense that stats don’t tell the full story.Still pedalling that nonsense?
He is one of the most progressive passers in our team and was right up there in the league last season. And he's playing as defensive midfielder. He didn't have is best game last night but formationand squad selection didn't help, with a lack of passing options with only 2 midfielders.. If you look at the centre back their pass completion rate is usually 80%+ but is was in the low 70%'s.
Here's a comparison with Jamie Allen per 90 mins this season.
