Coventry City away match day thread

[Bat Fastard]

Ten Coventry players better than eleven City players. Sad. We are supposed to be a fit side but we were second best all over the pitch. Offpissed.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Owers says he's shell shocked and can't remember a team with ten men scoring three goals!  disgraceful!!!!

[intercity]

Time for the fans to be less kind to team and manager. This side needs a rocket up the proverbial. Maybe that will provoke some response. It seems we're in that familiar phase where it doesn't matter the oppositon, City will contrive to lose.

I think you're wrong-

 

this is a re-run of S'OD. 

[CotswoldRed]

**** off Pearson. 

Has been. 

[Super]

Thank **** for the International break. We need it.

[The Original OTIB]

About to explode, but there were some good bits of play today. The trouble is, it's the basics. The lack of closing on the edge of the box is a farce, so many crosses, so many set pieces. Well done Cov and Mark Robins. A VERY brave performance with 10 men. Pass and move, the bl**dy basics. We can't pass for sh*t and that's coaching folks. An utter farce.

Sack Pearson, bring in whoever want.

It really won’t matter.

The squad created last year is complete rat shit.

 

Yep, feels like we are stuck with this until the Jan window at least - and that is if Lansdown realises he needs to magic some spending to buy some professional football players.

I think we know the manager is often the easy picking though

For me - I'm Pearson out- right now and have been for some time

Coming to same way of thinking, was right behind Pearson joining, but the standard of football lately is as bad as anything seen under Holden.

We can't keep possession for more than 2 or 3 passes even against 10 men!

Clueless use of subs more or less every game. I know NP wasn't there but CF was his pick and got them so wrong today.

I genuinely do not know where we go from here. (Other than the obvious…)

[WarksRobin]

If this doesn’t focus minds at the club, nothing will

Too many players in this squad don’t turn up week after week. Loan them out to L1 clubs cos that’s their standard

Absolutely dreadful. Against 10 men and we looked like we were a man down.

Something has to change or we will be playing Forest Green on a level playing field. No offence to them but let that sink in, same level as Forest Green.

Pearson out,we have to try something.

[pride of the west]

No point kidding ourselves anymore. We are in a relegation battle for the rest of the season. Table doesn't lie. Transition period or not, we've not looked convincing in any way shape or form in the 17 games played this season. 

[Numero Uno]

There are no excuses today. Poor defending at a corner when we have more players than them from Kalas and Bentley have started the slide today and then Massengo isn't in the same postcode as the player he should be tracking. Players are letting us down here. It feels like the club is being run into the ground by an incompetent Owner who got hoodwinked by a ******* charlatan and had the cheek to tell us all we got it wrong whilst he was at it.

Bunch of yellow bellied cocks get rid of Pearson and you are still left with a bunch of yellow bellied cocks. My patience with Pearson is wearing thin but **** me who can coach this lot.

Yes, we did. Apart the last minutes we were OK in the second half, one of their goal was a gift by the referee, we had chances too. 2-2 would have been the right result. We were lucky against Barnsley, not  today...even if Coventry played better.

 

That being said, we knew it woukd have been another tough match and that we have weaknesses.

Edited November 6, 2021 by Dan Robin

[BCFCGav]

I honestly believe we have an ok squad but they are mentally pathetic. Being in a lead scares the shit out of them. We need to bring in a sports psychologist or something. We are barrelling down the league with a manager who is clearly struggling to cope. Make the change, and let the rescue mission begin ASAP.

It’s difficult to blame Lansdown for things going wrong with Pearson when 99.9% of the fans were elated that Pearson joined us.

Clear the ******* decks. Not a ******* spine in any of the current squad. Absolute embarrassment.

3-2 against 10 men Coventry.

Ad them to the list of clubs who have gone from near collapse to past us.

[WessexPest]

That is unforgivable. The support we had today deserves better than this turd on a stick of a club. Can we extend the international break because I don’t want to see Bristol City fail at playing football again for a very, very, very long ****ing time.

Players, coaching staff, owners - hang Your heads in collective shame. Bunch of helmets.

He also lost 8 in a row. We’re nowhere near that. 

It’s not Lee Johnson that I hate per sé, it’s his favourable treatment that I can only put down to nepotism. 

If NP gets the same level of favour as LJ did, then maybe I can let it go a little. 

[Curr Avon]

No one tracking Godden's run for the winner. It was inevitable. I feel sick.

[ProfitInMyPocket]

If we could knock the ball about and work half as hard as they did with 10 then it would be an improvement. 

Coventry players on probably half the wages our lot are on and absolutely ran us off the pitch and worked till the end. Full credit to them they probably deserved to nick it at the end. 

We deserved to lose based on how we started that second half, never got going at all unfortunately. How many chances bar the goal did we have against 10 men by the way? Martin had a shot that went wide and I can't remember much else.

So poor.

I think the point is more his track record over 20 years...which doesn't exactly inspire confidence when it comes to managerial appointments!

[The Original OTIB]

In better news, a very mature performance from T, kept the ball moving and was disciplined. He just needs to learn how to defend our box now (as do they all). Mother the goal, as Johnson Snr used to say. COD did well, should keep his place. Good energy and crossing. It all turns to sh*t on the edge of our box. It can be coached and improved. I see nothing in our current coaches that is addressing that. Martin did well, but that 2nd just beore half time would have been crucial. Mentally, they will be shot to pieces now.

Yeah, you could just see how it was shaping up. Full back to centre back, centre back to centre back, then only to play it back to originating full back... and lose possession. Show some balls and try to create something positive and moving towards the target!

For large chunks of the second-half we made it look like it was us that had ten men,  not them! 

[Winston]

What an absolute spineless, pathetic bunch of so called professional footballers we have at our club

Playing against Man City with 10 men I could accept… but not Coventry City. Coventry totally deserved that win. That worked tirelessly, and showed levels of determination that we could only dream of from our players!

Like I said. We are one of the favorites to relegate. Hull and Cardiff will come back and go over us. If we are lucky we will get a 20-21th place playing till the last 2,3, games to survive.

A small team, a small club and a stupid owner. If we get to league one, we won't come back soon. I won't watch anymore, I will just look for the scores. I am not paying for this ugly shit.

Huge game against Blackburn on the horizon. Let us hope Pearson is back on the touchline, Baker and Atkinson alongside Kalas crashing into challenges, James bossing the midfield and Semenyo giving us some pace in attacking areas.

No manager can shake this mess up.  They all have to go.  Complete mental lock out..  Nigel needs to sack off some of these pros. They are not good enough fact they’ve had there chance.
