Coventry City Post Match Thoughts

[CTMilller]

Very disappointed and, given our fairly recent form against Blackburn, Watford and Sheffield United (when Coventry replaced Barlaser - so the latter can perform) I'm struggling to understand exactly why we've moved from a team that is hard to score against to one that makes elementary errors at the back. (Yes, the lack of balls to forwards accounts for our inability to score which is the other half of the equation.)

Putting a positive face on it, had Hugill's goal stood, (and the ref's argument to deny it seemed incredibly flimsy,) I do think we could have got at least a draw from that game. Our confidence (especially Hugill's) would have been boosted and that is a very big part of our game. We easily let our self-belief slip when we have to chase the game.

I know Ogbene is a heavily marked man but even when he gets free of his persecutors he seems unable to do anything useful with the ball these days.

The more we play like we do, the more nervous and skittish we seem when approaching the penalty area. MT needs to find a way to reinstill confidence. Not easy - but that's his job and I don't think he's doing it well at the moment.

Another game gone we should have got something out of,not because we were great,but because Coventry were very average at best.
We scored what looked like a perfectly legal goal,no one seems to know(Apart from the ref),why it didn`t stand,but lets be honest we never looked like scoring again.
The annoying thing is,there`s been a few spells this season that I thought we looked like a Championship side,coupled with the fact that the league is defo not as strong this time,I really thought we could stay up this time,but then you watch games like today,and we look nailed on for relegation.....strange.
The game today...some did ok,Grant and Hall are a perfectly decent partnership,Chio looked better,and Ollie did ok,but then I`m struggling for positives.
Losing Barlaser and Wiles will probably kill us,and I must admit so far Hugill looks very average,compare to Michael Smith at this level,no comparison really.
All you can hope is that are 3 worse teams than us,which you never know,there might be.

There are teams worse than us but unfortunately they are in L1

No creativity.
Our passing and crossing was poor.
Cheo better but poor.
Bramhall poor.
Oddofin poor.
MT poor
Crowd poor.
Lose Tuesday and MT could be in trouble

[Townerslovechild]

Sacking him would be pointless, reassess at the end of the season.

[Yak]

Don't want him sacked just think he will be in trouble
The crowd and TS won’t accept this after investing into the squad.

Think the ******* ref is colour blind, Humphreys getting his **** pulled of his back but he’s pulled up for fouling?
Absolutely the goal should have stood

You just can’t play Hugill on his own up front ever

**** motm

Strangely enough, I was more disappointed about the last two games . Both gmes we were in front or on top. Today looked like we wouldn't have scored if we'd still been playing
We put our kick-off straight out of play, they scored from theirs.
More than the team, I was very disappointed at our 'fans' today. Booing the young lad who'd recently played for us was bad enough, but the jeering of Eaves coming on was disgraceful. He was sent a ridiculous ball to chase and was roundly mocked for not getting it. The ball got tangled under his feet for their second goal. There was still plenty of chance to defend it. Karma from the soccer Gods?
Commented to a blues fan leaving that they celebrated like a cup final. He replied that they'd had an awful last year. I still wouldn't swap The Millers for their club

Crowd must get behind the team on Tuesday. Not easy I know that after today but the Sunderland crowd will be very loud and even louder if they go ahead.

Baffled to understand the game plan. Is it MT's instruction to play the ball forward at 100mph, but not to rush to put it in the box? And what would be the point if we only have one striker ?

Why is there a rush to take free kicks? Is it because we don't have anyone capable of winning a heading duel?

Why do we resort to throwing everything into the box only when there's a panic?

Not looking good atm.
