Agree with all that with exception of Tomi Ameobi.
Marko Marosi could have brought his snap box with him today. That must be the easiest afternoon he's had all season.Utterly and totally inept, abysmal, toothless attacking display.We all know what the problem is. We've just got to wait and see what happens over the next 13 days.
One question I will ask is, if one of our players got the ball in the same position as the Coventry player, would any of our players shoot? or look for a pass? We were beaten by a better side, Ennis never held the ball up all the game, RA you made your mind up about Bingham and Thomas the day they signed before even seeing them play. We need a striker, yes and although we were not that bad today, could have easily had a penalty,but were out thought and at times out fought. Whiteman was poor at times, Coppinger well marked, Sadlier looks like he doesn't want to get injured, and were made to play across the field by Coventry because apart from Coppinger and Taylor none of the others think of backing his marker up and going past him. The back four again played well and kept us in the game, one mistake of not closing a player down cost us the game, although playing with our team' they probably didn't think anyone would shoot from that distance.
NewDonny, how do you think Sadlier played today?
Coventry were better than us. No question they were. Best team to come to the Keepmoat this season. Allowing them to get in front turned out to be the killer. They were extremely well organised and prevented us getting behind their defence. Made us play it square. It was like tying to thread a needle through their defence. They did a very thorough job on Copps and stifled our creativity. Ennis never got a sniff out of Coventry’s central defenders who were very impressive. Coventry are certainties for top 6 on that showing and could gate crash the top 2Losing to them is no disgrace at all. There are always 2 teams in a match & sometimes you simply have to hold your hands up and admit we were beaten by the better team.
Coventry weren’t better than us today. We were just significantly below our best. Our passing in midfield was awful and made far worse by a serious lack of movement at times. Unfortunately, days like today happen in sport and we just have to move on.YES they were better than us THEY SCORED !Positives:Bingham is looking better still. Some very good touches and driving runs which Sads wasn’t giving us in the first half(I’m ready for all the over top replies about anything relating to Sads). Agreed !!Halliday gets better and better and better. In all ways. Still isn’t brave enough and doesn’t shoot enough!Copps. Happy Birthday. Went missing a couple of times but other than that he was the most creative spark we had. Agreed!!Taylor just running and running and running. How the Left Back wasn’t sent off I have no idea.Doesn’t get in the Penalty box when running at defenders instead of crossing to no one at the back post !! Negatives:Sheaf and Whiteman. Have they met? I’ve never seen so many misplaced passes in my life and I coach Under 7’s. Together they were absolutely shocking at moving the ball around. And STOP waiting for the ball - both of you!Sheaf and Whiteman can’t play together they are just not compatible.Sadlier. Did absolutely nothing and when Taylor is running around like the energiser bunny on the other side it shows up even more. Up until the header he went for where he took the knock - he had ducked out of every high ball that went near him. On form he’s brilliant. Today he was not. At all.

Stadlier is just Not good enough , drifts in and out of play , never tackles back or retrieves lost balls he lost in the first place.

If you mean Sadlier then of course he’s good enough. He’s our most productive player. Barely saw the ball today in what was a hugely frustrating first half. A hugely frustrating second half for that matter too. We’re short of attacking threat across the squad so let’s not start getting at the players that have been producing the goals!
