Just caught the last 20 mins of the first half....missed the goals, thankfully. From what I saw - Webster is awful, JOB can't be faulted for effort and we're not getting enough men forward. Oh, and apparently Thomas is playing?

Very noticeable body language, doesn't look like the players know what they are supposed to be doing. Would come as no shock to me if it turns out SP has lost the dressing room.

Terrible tactics. We have packed the midfield so there is no room & Swindon only have to wait a few moments before we give the ball away. There is absolutely no width at all, no attacking intention and no pace. We seem to be deliberately slowing the game down - anyone would think that we were 2-0 up away.
I don't think it's the players - most of them are playing competently - it's the system and that's down to the manager.

We just don't look like a pro football team, do we? They have no idea what they are trying to do in an attacking sense, there's no running off the ball, no support, no overlapping or overloading out wide...they just look utterly and totally clueless, in that they don't look like they have a manager at all, it's just 11 players.

I know this is league one and expectations should be curbed somewhat but these are still professional footballers and this is genuinely dead boring.

I have noticed it in player statements too.
The one from Pennington about playing Centre Half, the one from Fleck about the manager telling him to stay deep.

Just been told not one single piece of the protest was on Sky. they showed nothing and mentioned nothing either?

Doesn't help that there is NOBODY giving them an option for a pass in front of them, does it? No movement, no bravery (as in taking a gamble).

Nouble barged him.

You could recruit a side of freebies from the Southern League and they'd probably have more desire and determination than this bunch of dross.

Madine was a disgrace, spent the whole half moaning at the ref or other players. Can only assume Tudgay is on his way as he was excellent against Walsall.

Commentator briefly mentioned a Sisu out chant at about 9 mins.

Nouble needs to come off aswell as Webster. Might as well put three up top as no one is supporting madine. Absolute dire and how people can defend SP after this but they will.

I decided on New Years day that I wouldn't have a beer or whisy for all of January , so far I haven't but by god this display is testing my resolve.
we look dreadful, simple as that and if this is the Coventry way we have a bleak future

Exactly, it is like they don't know what day it is.
Something needs to change.

That was absolutely dire. No passion from our lot and they seem to have no idea what formation or tactics they are supposed to be playing. So tentative when we have the ball, never going to get anywhere like that. Everytime we have it there's no outlet, no decent runs, nothing at all. Fleck and Thomas don't work together for me, think Thomas has to go. Too many years of promise but hasn't delivered.
Looking for positives Allsop hasn't done much wrong, neither goal was his fault. Nouble at least looks vaguely interested unlike most of them. JOB has been the best of a bad bunch. That's about all I can come up with.
Whoever this is (the ex-player) on CWR he's not happy with SP, hard for Linnell to stick up for the manager like he usually does when someone texts or phones! He's just said it's not the players fault its the tactics and formation.

The Barton where he said something like "well, we are now talking to each other at least..."

It's Andy Blair I think (heard him in the car). There's been a few times ex players have doubted the manager.

Spent more time taking the piss about us playing on a shit rugby pitch. You couldn't really hear any protest and you certainly couldn't see it.

Well...this was worth rushing back from West London for. Pathetic performance! I wonder what pearls of wisdom our leader is giving. Is there a formation he hasn't tried yet? Four strikers perhaps! Bombing Tudgay from the squad is a shocking decision. Clueless prick
