Jerseybean Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I really enjoyed watching that. Thought our performance was very good, despite giving away two soft goals. Considering Coventry’s form and them being at home, that is a very good point in my opinion. When we analyse the match, we can learn much about taking a quick throw in. We allowed them to do just that and 10 seconds later they equalised! I know I bang on about it lots of times but please, please, please, can we get better at taking throw ins, as illustrated this evening, they are a critical part of the game. Anyway, let’s finish on a positive… a good overall performance and an excellent point, well play Bristol City and the traveling fans. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The win was there, but too often the final pass through to a forward fell short. Just like the Forest game, it made interesting viewing for neutral.

Just a shame to have such a poor error cost us, especially going into such a tough run. A bit of quality, relentless hard work and endeavour cancelled out by a really poor error by someone who many fans would replace with better quality if we were allowed the funds to. Probably sums up where we are as a club at the minute. Should have won imo. Both of their goals were far too easy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiding behind the sofa after they equalised and then had that cross that flashed across the box! We worked hard, had a good game plan, forced them into a lot of errors...but I thought we were so sloppy with the ball. 5 yard passes not finding their man, poor quality into the box (we always have difficulty breaking teams down, but tonight it seemed that we didn't look after the ball as well) Still, a year or two ago you could argue we would have lost the game. Gutted to not win after taking the lead, but if you'd have offered me a point before or even on 60 mins with how we were playing I'd have taken it. Draw away at a decent side when the passes aren't sticking is a good point. Form is not good - and the next 3 are tough, so important to pick up a point.

Anyway, let’s finish on a positive… a good overall performance and an excellent point, well play Bristol City and the traveling fans. About throw ins, short ones anyway. I think a good throw gets to the receiving player on the volley so the ball travels down to the players feet as its first movement or they can clear it on the volley if close to their own goal area. A bad throw hits the grass first so its first movement is to naturally roll up the receiving player and is hard to control, giving a chance to the oppo player to nip in. Surprising how many players struggle with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollywhyte Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 So frustrating. What makes it worse is this was the season to make the play offs if we ever were going too. A win tonight would have somehow seen us 3 points off them despite being in awful form. There are patterns of play building and at times we actually look quite neat.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Coventry weren't up to their usual standards, pleased with the point. Need to play Conway and Wells together from now on, don't want to see Knight play in that forward position anymore. Give Cornick more minutes on that right side until Sykes is back. We actually had a bit about us physically higher up with those three. It got McCrorie and Tanner higher up the pitch too. The last 10-15 minutes felt a bit more front-foot football and the only time during the game we looked remotely dangerous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not that O’Leary is accident prone but the nature of his mistakes snd his failure to improve. I stand by my comment on Wells.

1960maaan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Good point at a form team , but.... Sloppy passing costs us so much possession. Wasted so many crossing opportunities , if we got points for hitting the first man we'd be top. I've defended Max before now , but that was shocking. First day at keeper school stuff, push the ball away ffs. Mehmeti is the most frustrating player I've watched for years. Sam Bell, never more than ok and never imposes himself on the game. Could easily have won that, just not tidy enough in possession or clinical enough in the last 3rd. A word for Leigh Doughty, thought he was great for Cov tonight . Broke up lots of our attacks , and helped them onto the front foot by making them take a free kick every time they fell over. Ellis wasn't off side though, so can't blame him for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
