Coventry City vs Rovers

[Superspy]

once again donny are the better team. once again we don't take our chances. once again we lose. oh well, at least the leeds fans will be quiet at work this week, haha.

[MrFrost]

We can't finish teams off so we will keep on getting punished.

[cdrover]

We need to take our chances, simple!

[Red wizard]

Willo missed a sitter.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Just missed 20 mins thanks to F**cking player, and what's going on

Why have we not scored with those stats !!

[DavTrav]

Corner - maybe last chance

[DonnyBazR0ver]

How many times have we heard that - off the line !

same old story baz, not taking our chances, sounds like we've had a few off the line...again...and missed a few sitters....again.

[DavTrav]

Can we get Uri Geller in to give us some luck!??? BEND THE SPOOOOOOOOOON!

[Wellred]

same old story its getting boring

[roversdaft]

game over. 15th in the league?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

That's a shit result. Coventry are a shit team and we should be killing teams off like these. I'm so angry !!

Whats unbelievable about it.

Time after time this season we have given soft goals away when in a position of strength, repeatedly we fail to take our chances where the opposition do, and repeatedly we refuse to change things on the pitch until it is far too late.

To be honest Im suprised we didnt lose by at least a couple more.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I'm sure we wouldn't swap the domination. If we're creating so many chances then it's got to be down to being ruthless in front of goal.

Like I said on Satdi, we've got to get nasty and want to burst the net.

lets be fair, its been this season, and last, and the season before  

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Time to get 2 up front ?

[DRFCDANNY]

heard it was a scrappy game  

[Superspy]

didn't sound scrappy on player. sounded like a good first half followed by us ripping them to pieces in the second half and again not putting the ball in the net.

the number of times i heard \"so and so takes a shot....and its wide/over the bar\" was unreal, we seem to have a serious accuracy problem

and as per usual kieron (sp) c***chops westwood pulled off a couple of great saves. i hate him. in the obvious sense i'd love him to be our sulli replacement when the day comes, haha.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

12 shots on target
7 off target
14 corners

Most teams can only dream of chances like that.

They were saying on radio Sheffield that Blades have got the worst conversion rate in the league. I think we must have trumped them now.

That's not the way it sounded at all. 14 corners, 12 shots on target........why are we not burying these teams and why bring on Willo ? Is SO'D just too safe , doesn't fortune favour the brave?
I'm as sick as a parrot and angry at the substitution.  :angry:

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Sounds like Coppinger, Friend and Wilson failed to score from more or less open goals.

If we can pass the ball so accurately in the middle third, what's happening in the final third ?

It has to be a mental thing. Composure or fear of missing ? We've had this before so SOD should now how to go about it.

Same mentality went putting at golf. Think you're gonna miss and you'll miss.

[hoolahoop]

You're right get the Sports Psycho onto this one straight away and nip it in the bud.

Bang on.

We wasted so many guilt-edged chances tonight it was untrue. Very frustrating.

you forgot to add your........'and why do we always capitulate in the second half'.

....0f course the fact that there is only 1 game in 9 where there is an argument that we may have capitulated v Cardiff and in all the other 8 games we have been dominant or equal, clearly means........we must always capitulate in the 2nd half.

Descartes, Einstein, Fibonacci, Newton, Pascal, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Babbage were clearly all tossers

[bobjimwilly]

Just watched the highlights on Rovers player and how on earth Friend didn't score in the first half and Mark Wilson completely missed the target in the dying minutes on the second half I don't know?
