Actually not that bad a bench now.

Good keeper
Quality cover across the back four.
Decent cover in central and wide midfield.
Just lacking obvious centre forward cover.

It’s matchday, time to support every player..

IFollow question: Happy with commentary? I’m fortunate in being overseas so can watch the game, is the commentary I hear the same as that for audio-only in the uk?
If I couldn’t see the game, I’d find the commentary very frustrating. Too much chat,  “punditry” and anecdote, little description of the action. Thankful for the video coverage ....sound muted.

H.T. 0-1.

Come on you Reds. Let’s do it in the 2nd half!

Post by: IDM on January 18, 2020, 03:50:37 pm
Coventry edging it slightly on overall play.  Maybe we could have closed their scorer down better but it was a decent strike out of Diengs reach..

We need to get our front 3 more into this game.

Post by: BillyStubbsTears on January 18, 2020, 03:52:21 pm
That should have been a penalty right on half time.

Season ticket holder but only made half the games.   

We play a system where we need to play ball on ground and quickly.   

It's so ponderous today.    Do we need sadlier more central to help ennis?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: if the game is crap, but we are winning, then, yes, I find it entertaining! I pay my money to see us win, not to be entertained.

I think “bloody awful” is an exaggeration.

We’re not at our best today but it is only half time and we need to step up a gear.

I guess I imagined the free kick that Taylor had where his shot was straight at the wall.?

Post by: dknward2 on January 18, 2020, 04:03:03 pm
Coventry winning every free kick by going down.
No closing down for their goal they sitting ten men behind the ball and hitting us on the counter attack now.

Ref giving us very little Ennis should have had a penalty right on half time plus one just before when he got pulled backwards off the pitch

We certainly need to do something with the game plan to be more effective up front..

Bingham on for Sadlier..

But in my opinion we’re no better or worse than in the Shrewsbury or Oxford games. We just somehow managed win those 2. We may win this one also. But as entertainment value goes at the moment, it’s just not there.

Agree to differ. There’s no real quality there for me. We’re not good enough for this passing from the back.

Lets not forget we are playing the form team in the league here..... we'll hopefully come hard in the second half.

Good afternoon everyone! Sounds like we are not getting the rub of the green, not helped by a ref who will not give us anything. Still winnable, need to move up a gear or two, to beat this good Coventry side.

Unfortunately too many poor performances today don't think Ennis won a header all game Whiteman was shocking sheaf also not at his best copps had 2 men on him all game and struggling to do anything positive.

The few attacks we hard down wing were great but got lost when players in the center wanted to take 4 or 5 touches.

Post by: dickos1 on January 18, 2020, 05:33:33 pm
Today showed why we need an out and out striker, a number 9 with ennis and sadlier either side would create and score plenty
We’re just not getting the best out of him playing him as a number 9
He needs to be the foil for someone else like Wilks was last year

I don't think we really create that many chances even a striker would score.

I know but I think ennis would create chances for a proper striker and of course a proper striker would create his own chances just with proper movement etc
