That’s what I said before the game, we win that comfortably if they all turn up and match them, Lampard knows too many went missing that’s why he’s fuming, if you put a video together of all the goals we’ve conceded you’d think you’re watching a Sunday league team

Put together a video of the ganes Rushworth has kept us in. We shoukd be midtabke with this formation.

Whats wrong with controlling games and being less open and matching midfields and providing to cover to your defence.

 

[Macca]

A win would be priceless against QPR otherwise we go into the 2 home games under pressure and with a very nervy crowd

 

[Shannerz]

Neither of the goals came from that though. They both came from our CBs being fucking awful.

They're not in form, but they're not awful.

I said up thread that Kitching needs to be dropped for a spell.

 

[Rodders1]

Looking forward to the entitled posters to calm down and the old school Cov fans suck up the result and move on. FFS a 2-1 loss away at Norwich is standard lads.

 

[David O'Day]

After tonight I’ve lost a lot of faith in not just the players but the manager. Momentum is everything and we have none of it

I've lost a lot of faith in you to get a grip.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not sure I do to be honest! Seems like even the opinions in the last page of this thread have wildly different views.

A 4-2-4 with the 2 comprising an overwhelmed Grimes and a Torp gasping for air

6 points from the last 3 games isn’t the end of the world. We do need to go and win at QPR now though.

 

[Shannerz]

They will be right up for it, I hope we can match the intensity

We don't seem able to match anyone's intensity at the moment.

Depends on what the teams around us are doing....

The gap is closing. Few weeks ago people were laughing at the thought of us losing games and others winning.

If and it is a big IF we beat QPR and win the next 2 home games it looks very different.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Lol im looking forward to Lmapard playing vs boro.

Just Grimes...trying to boss Morris, Browne and hackney..with 4 attackers and Torp not tracking back.

Lol will be suicide.

No chance of that

Meh. Probably play 3-0-7 there

Ok, you've made your point.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

What’s shocked me. At Leicester we amended the midfield to fix the problem.

And since we’ve completely gone backwards

 

[CCFCSteve]

Plenty of twists and turns yet. Individual errors cost us tonight but still think we’ve got a second wind in us….hopefully sooner rather than later

 

[SBT]

With respect, if those are the tactics we’re going to play then no, it doesn’t sound like a new CM is going to help much?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Ok, you've made your point.

Someone talk to Lampard and Edwards

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It requires a CM with one hell of an engine!

 

[quinn1971]

With respect I think you’re looking in the wrong place. No one can look competent as a CH in our system. You’re completely exposed to the side and in front. We need legs in the midfield and we need to tell our full backs to play in our half now and again.

Course they can if you’ve got the right ones, instead we’ve got cart horses who can’t run or pass a ball, if they did the basics tonight we win that, it’s that simple, just silly mistakes again,

 

[David O'Day]

You see to have a lot to say so good idea

 

[Ccfcisparks]

yeah lets not bother then

 

[steve101]

Away from home I think Eccles needs to be starting. I probably would have Bidwell in there too just to be more defensively disciplined.

 

[MikeyMoo]

Yep, win at QPR we've taken 9 from 4 which is still a good outcome. We had a better xG and could easily have been 2:1 up when we gave away a goal. Could easily have taken a point. QPR won't be happy after the last result but why shouldn't it all come together again at our new favourite oppo?

 

[Ashdown]

Indeed but expectation is a bastard !
After the maelstrom of goal gluts earlier on, everyone expects us to continue to be above that standard

 

[SBT]

yeah lets not bother then

We’ve already established you think the only way to change a team’s form is to simply buy new players until results improve. And that’s ok. You may even get your wish!

Hopefully. Following your plan clearly wont work.

 

[fernandopartridge]

When have any of tonight’s back 4 been fit and not played?

Suggesting we should start Lati when we didn’t even keep a clean sheet

Well we haven't kept a clean sheet tonight, as we didn't at Birmingham or Charlton

 

[quinn1971]

With respect, if those are the tactics we’re going to play then no, it doesn’t sound like a new CM is going to help much?

Exactly that, doesn’t make sense that we’ve got quick wingbacks who are always going to get caught out of position and were left with centre halves that run like they’ve got diving boots on, watch all the goals we’ve conceded and put the benny hill music over it, fits perfect, oh well we weren’t doing it the easy way

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well we haven't kept a clean sheet tonight, as we didn't at Birmingham or Charlton

Haven’t kept one full stop since Boxing Day.

 

[Major Tom]

Coventry manager Frank Lampard told BBC Radio CWR:

"We gifted them their goals. If you do that in the Championship you lose games. If you defend sloppily and make mistakes, teams score against you.

"We created enough chances to score more goals but didn't. Defensive errors are a problem, something we've been good at this season.

"It was a great finish, good goal, and we went in at half time 1-0, so that's positive, but we came out [in the second half] and gave them some momentum.

"Some games aren't easy to control in the Championship. We had more possession than them, and created enough chances, but games are always won in both boxes.

"It's not easy to come here on a Monday night against a team in good form and try to control every aspect of the game."

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Well we haven't kept a clean sheet tonight, as we didn't at Birmingham or Charlton

We havnt in our last 7 games.

Which is the worst current run of ANY team bar Leicester.

 

[jordan210]

How did we go from so many unbeaten and clean sheets to basically self destructing each game

 

[Rodders1]

Indeed but expectation is a bastard !

Kitching error aside we get a point there! Killed us.
