Pretty poor half. Eccles for me is too high and we're getting out numbered in midfield again. We look so vulnerable at the back. Wright should have buried that header.

He's playing as the 10, Torp has been slightly off the pace in open play for me

I'm sure Simms would've scored that header

He was definitely committed to the header but just couldn't quite angle it

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Stoke second, one point behind us, in the live table. They scored 5 on Saturday and early in the second half they are 3 up against Oxford.

I fear the worst on Saturday.

It’s written isn’t it

 

[Nick]

Emc not out warming up

 

[steve101]

Outfought again. Can't think of any individual who has played well. We look nervous on the ball. No composure. Wright should have scored but would have been lucky to go in level. So sloppy with offsides too. Thomas-Asante is wasted on the left. Think Mason-Clark needs to come on for second half. Move Asante back to the 10 or up front.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

We've been cut open at will again

I cant even put my finger on whats changed, we are full strength outside of Rudoni

Is 3 at the back the key to beating us? The last 4 teams We've played play that, and we've not been great in any of them

We've been too ponderous tonight , we need to get the ball forward quicker like we were doing a few games back

 

[Nick]

It’s written isn’t it

And robins will get a song

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Stoke are scoring for fun now.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Worry about tonight first!

I like to be ahead of the game with my worrying

 

[Nick]

Saka vanished after his booking as well.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Tbf, Thomas absolutely leathered O'Hare.

Which was pretty funny, but no yellow was crazy.

I think IFAB have come out and said that if you get hurt from a tackle to the shin, and you're not wearing shin pads then who's fucking fault is it anyway- no yellow.

 

[stupot07]

He's playing as the 10, Torp has been slightly off the pace in open play for me

I know he's playing as a 10, but he's still a bit too high for me. We're almost playing 424 again. Not a 4411 or a 4231.

 

[Nick]

Think they might be changing keeper as well

 

[clint van damme]

Frustrating as hell.

Lose tonight and again Saturday (Stoke 3-0 up already), then that is the wheels well and truly off.

Everyone around us other than Stoke losing and their time will come.
I said it last week but the race for autos is going to resemble the scramble for 5th and 6th place play off spots this season.

 

[Joe King]

Get Wright off! Bring on Simms!

 

[duffer]

Very frustrating. Thomas is having a good game at least.

We can turn this around, no worries, Blades are going to start time wasting in the second half because Wilder can't resist a bit of cheating. That's going to give us the momentum back.

At least that's what I'm hoping...

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I know he's playing as a 10, but he's still a bit too high for me. We're almost playing 424 again. Not a 4411 or a 4231.

I thought he has been one of the few tonight who's played well and been creating

 

[Shannerz]

Saka vanished after his booking as well.

No-one's been good, really.

 

[covboy9]

Stoke on fire it’s all going wrong

 

[stupot07]

Saka vanished after his booking as well.

Tbf we've stopped passing the ball to him and just hoofing it up field.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Seems like everyone bar stoke in top six have lost their heads tonight

 

[Nick]

We need a massive second half.

 

[Nick]

Yeah emc coming on

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Early equaliser 3-1

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Been poor since their goal.

Been poor before their goal

 

[steve101]

DaSilva booked for dissent. Shortly after Mee does similar and nothing. Then O'Hare repeatedly and again nothing. No consistency.

 

[curly_tom]

People are so weird about Wright. He's always been a hot and cold player, he has these spells and then suddenly scores a load. We've got to trust him.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

DaSilva booked for dissent. Shortly after Meeting does similar and nothing. Then O'Hare repeatedly and again nothing. No consistency.

yet mccallum got booked for it

 

[Nick]

Eccles off I think

 

[stupot07]

I thought he has been one of the few tonight who's played well and been creating

He played one good ball to be fair, but other than that has been meh! Like the rest of the midfield. We really miss Rudoni, there's been no rotations, in midfield.

Eccles has been hooked at half time.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

EMC for eccles

 

[Joe King]

Nice to see McCallum not wishing to celebrate his goal. Reminded me of Robbie Keane scoring against us. He just walked away shrugging off his celebrating team mates.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Eccles off I think

Need EMC at his best second half

 

[fernandopartridge]

People are so weird about Wright. He's always been a hot and cold player, he has these spells and then suddenly scores a load. We've got to trust him.

But you need better than that if you are going to sustain a challenge. If he's not scoring he's not doing anything and that's a problem.

4-4-2 Vs 4-4-2
