BetterRedthanBlue Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Jekyll and Hyde performance that. First half should've been out of sight. 2nd half I don't think we came out of the dressing room. I've said it before and I'll say it again we miss Matty James.

Severn Beach Pigeon Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 A mostly positive first half, then a more negative second half. Didn't handle the quintuple substitution by Coventry. Overall a game that Coventry will feel they deserve the win from, I'd be inclined to agree, although a draw probably fair too. I wouldn't get too despondent over this though, we largely matched a side that are expected to be in the playoff hunt with a rotated squad (aware they rotated too, but on the whole would say Coventry had a stronger side on the pitch for more of the game than we did). Biggest concern was how sloppy TGH was on the ball second half. There was a spell of about 5 minutes when every time he or Williams had the ball the pass was wayward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Bit like Saturday, ultimately frustrating and disappointing. First half, and for good periods at Hull, we seemed to move the ball faster. However, our quality of crossing would be disappointing at non league level. Lost the plot somewhat in the second half passing wise. Fally and Armstrong look good additions, but we don’t look like we are going to score many either way at the moment. Ho hum. On to Saturday.

CityGill Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Having watched both matches, I’m concerned that this may be another season where we fail to capitalise when we are top. Hull were awful on Sat, we should have scored a few and at the end of the game we only came away with a point. First half today, we were the better team, arguably against the Coventry B team, and again we fail to capitalise. I fear another season like the last few, where we are “ok” but fail to score enough and loose games because stupid self inflicted mistakes or moments of class from the opposition. There were too many players today who didn’t step up and show that they should be considered for this first team, Roberts, TGH, Williams, Bell and Naismith all average to poor. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDW4CITY Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 That was an awful 2nd half after a decent 1st half. TGH was terrible all game and Williams matched him when he came on. Not that it would have made any difference, but why not play Mehmeti on the left when he came on. He and Cornick looked like fish out of water playing right and left respectively. I thought Stokes did some good things and Roberts was steady most of the game. Just very passive 2nd half, too many loose passes and next to no control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexhill reds Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 That was dreadful, I pity those that paid and actually went. Apart from Mayulu it's difficult to highlight another player worthy of selection for Millwall. At least what crowd there was let the players know that was not even close to being an acceptable performance. Appreciate you can't judge anything by 2 reserve teams in the Mickey Mouse energy drink cup, but a result and performance like that is not good for confidence, neither the players or ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollydog Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Don’t buy this first half good argument. It was competent but we neither scored against a second string Coventry team nor seriously tested their keeper. Also don’t accept the argument that many of our players will not be starters on Saturday. Whoever plays, our approach is too laboured, lacks spark and decision making in the final third or s awful. If this is our “identity” I’m not impressed. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Immediate thoughts, they made a bold quin-sub to a near first XI and it shone through. Barring a little late flurry we rarely laid a glove against that quality. I felt we should have responded in kind earlier, Bird felt necessary. Two games, one goal. BUT chances/moments in both games. If we don’t start converting more though - another season of nearly and maybe awaits. Some very disappointing performances out there tonight, especially in the midfield. Knight wasn’t himself but I still wouldn’t have taken him off. TGH and Williams didn’t show the requisite quality. A win against Millwall on Saturday and the start of the season suddenly looks a perfectly good one. 4 points and sod the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's insane that we get birthed into supporting a football team that is consistently so mediocre that it becomes genuinely boring to watch. I'd sell my left bollock for a season of PL football and just some intrigue around the gaff. **** me it's boring being a City fan.
