Coventry City Post Match Thoughts

[flourbasher]

Yes I've never understood why fans leave early but everyone makes their own choice
It's only a 10k crowd not 50k and so what if it takes an extra five minutes
There was hardly any home fans left when the players did their lap of honour

I thought the ref was ok but had some bad moments rather than poor all afternoon.
His worst moment was when Olasunde won the ball just before HT and he called a foul and then booked him as well.

Full credit to us for pressing, but I think Coventry had 'one of those days' at the back they probably won't repeat all season. What yesterday showed for me is that we haven't improved up front on what we had last season. Just not convinced by Ladapo and did nothing to change that view when he came on. Like others, I thought it was an ideal opportunity to give Lamy a run out.

The leaving early thing seems to be getting worse. It was like they were expecting a whip round. But I suppose with only ten or twelve hours of drinking time left every second counts.

I don't think it did click, the passing was still awful, Coventry beat themselves with Kamikaze defending.

He also gave them a throw in when the ball never went out of play

I leave 2 mins before end to avoid the traffic coming out of parking, I panic in traffic so I don’t want a accident

Your right frog about Lindsay very talbot like doing all dirty work and playing things simple my mom yesterday. Just simply broke everything up yesterday allowing attacking players to support smith.

I agree totally with Brin I too thought Warne had gone crackers but it worked. Smith back to how we know him giving the defenders a torrid time, but on a note of caution we have the realise they weren't the biggest so he should be winning the airial battles. Good overall performance against a good side.
Iversen. What he had to do he did tidily and no fuss.
Olosunde. Next Gerry Forest? I hope he'll be better, he has one of Forest's faults of going to ground to often. I think he's an unpolished gem, got caught out a couple of times in second half, when he gets his defending right he'll be worth loads.
Mattock. Back to his best, good link work with Hastie and a wonderful cross in second half that deserved a goal.
Ihekwa. Another good display, need to tie him to the club.
Wood. I prefer Robertson but suggested that Wood came back in after last week. He didn't put a foot wrong.
Lindsey. Man of match for me got stuck in and used the ball well.
Barlaser. Wanted to give him another chance after seeing his skills in pre-season, didn't take it. If he doesn't show it again I'd send him back at Christmas.
Wiles. A wonderful game although not a winger was more effective than any of the 4 we let go.
Hastie. Back to the lad we saw at Donny, caused loads of problems against what I thought was a good full back. May perhaps have scored from at least one of the couple of shots he had.
Crooks. Back to his best looked better in the advanced position and took the header well for the first goal. Still giving ball away though at times.
Smith. Welcome back Smudge we've missed you. Dominant performance pulling the defence apart, winning the challenges and 2 sweetly taken penalties.
It may seem strange to say when we had 2 pens and they had a man sent off but the ref was atrocious. He gave us the very least he could and what he booked Olosunde for I'll never know.
Overall very happy bunny, got to doff my cap again to Mr Warne he set the team up right even though I thought he'd gone mad when I saw it.

Agree with most of that Jake. I said in the match thread its like Barlaser is almost trying too hard for the perfect pass. There's a decent player in there and when he does the simple things he's ok. Needs Lindsay at the side though, I too thought he was MoM.

Not sure if Barlaser can be sent back. I think its a season-long loan with a recall clause if they want him in January.

It was the sort of high-pressing game that Crooks thrives on. That is his best position for me.

Robertson has apparently been carrying a knock. That might explain his poor game last week. Wood was excellent.

Sorry silly but you don't have to justify to anyone why you left early, people leave early for all sorts of reasons, even if it's only to get to the pub first, but please, you nor anyone else has to justify why you left before the end.

Totally agree. What business is it of anyone else why anyone leaves? They've paid to get in and can leave when they want.

Feels like I do mate. People aren’t happy that some people leave 3 or 5 mins before end even though they’ve paid for a ticket or in my case season ticket

Btw thx brin Ronnie for support
