Haven’t changed my view that we are the better side in more than one respect. We both have small squads for this level, if they had to stick Grimmer at CB then that’s giving you an idea of their injury issues. They do have some dangerous players like all teams do but they won’t hurt us unless we let them.

Cov win by 1 or 2

But a stupid comment, because self evidently if it was easy just to magic up a goal you'd do it.

You could almost split the performances into two lists:

Fantastic
Shambolic

Half the players are carrying the rest of the team.

I've described him as a luxury player before because to be effective you have to get him the ball in and around the box, he's no way near good enough to make that kind of concession for though. Would be a special team player in the NFL.

BTW, today proved once again that irrespective of formation... Players need to perform to make any formation work.

Wether it's 532 5221 or 4141, if players are off their game you end up with turgid shit like today...

I'm just glad we are grinding out results

I'd disagree with that slightly, whether 1 up front or 2, O'Hare needs to be right up behind those strikers.
We start him far too deep too often.
I'm also glad we're grinding out results and don't expect to see any stand out team performances, all about working hard and and grinding out points.
Stay up and continue to build.

I’m a bit more optimistic, Sheff Wednesday and Preston away are both winnable. PNE’s home record has been shocking.

Our home record has been decent, so I’m hoping we can pick up points against Huddersfield and Stoke.

Our defensive record has also drastically improved too, we’ve only conceded 1 goal from open play in the last 7 games. Massive turn around.

Made hard work of that but about time we had a bit of luck at the end. Would have been nice not to worry for a change, but its par for the course to bite your nails as a city fan. Pleased as punch for Kelly, didn't listen to the after match so hope he's not injured too badly. Great to grind out a result, particularly against teams that are in the relegation mix.

Click to expand...
Don’t think the issue with Baka is work rate. As far as I’m aware, he’ll chase anything (I’ve only seen 7-8 games this season, so stand to be corrected) but he lacks quality more than effort.

That's not an argument.

Performance is not just based on ability, it is also on effort. Certainly some players didn't put enough in.

Oops, celebrating the end of lockdown too much! . As I was saying, farrago is a belter of a word. Grubby win but ultimately they only got in it from a very dubious penalty. How the hell did we end up with Hamer, way out of our league.

Wycombe 1-2 Coventry: Liam Kelly double fires Sky Blues to away win

Liam Kelly's first goals for over two years gave Coventry their first away league win of the season as they held on for a 2-1 victory at struggling Wycombe.

It's funny, I was thinking that watching the game. It was almost like last season when we were top of the league and they were giving it everything. I wouldn't be too hard on our lot as it must be hard to adapt in those circumstances.

Don't get me wrong, some players have put in absolutely everything. I would add O'Hare to that. His final product has been poor in many ways but he is fighting for it all the time and even defending towards the end today.

I didn't get the feeling about 3 or 4 other players and they have been consistent offenders.

Would you genuinely argue with those two being sub-standard?

I would add McCallum in who has been very poor in my opinion for a few games. I also think Walker should be doing better, regardless of this 'isolation' people talk about.

The rest of the team I'm very impressed with though. Dabo is doing really well despite the fact he was coming back from injury and a bit out of form it seems. He's played through that. Got to give credit to Biamou as well. I felt, particularly today, that he showed a few players up with his grit and determination.

No I agree that those 2 are obviously not up to the standard that's why I named them. I couldn't say I'm massively concerned about any others.

Dabo and Hamer linking up today doing some one touch stuff looked prem quality

Quick update re: Huddersfield game. Their keeper went off injured at half time, and their best player up front (today) Danny Ward went off with a hamstring injury. Would still be happy with a point to keep the run going Our following game at Sheffield Wed, one of their better players Iorfa is now out for the rest of the season with a ruptured achilles). Big game Forest v Sheff Wed midweek.

Dabo of last season could have my babies, but if he's not fully fit then why play him if he don't absolutely need to do so?
