[RJASkyblue]

have we scored any headers this season? not sure why we insist on trying to cross it in all the time

Just look at Awoinyi's career record for headed goals, absolutely shocking.

 

[jordan210]

Frank needs to learn to counter subs

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

To make a quadruple change at the 85th minute expecting them to impact the game is stupid, needs to come earlier

 

[EalingSB]

Not if we keep giving up such cheap goals.

Could have easily had a point at spurs.
Could have easily had a point here.

It is this type of thing that is the difference between staying up and going down

We could easily have drawn at Forest in fairness so it works both ways.

 

[PVA]

Excellent for an hour or so.

VAR killed us. I fucking hate it.

Dreadful (lack of) subs.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I know you’re new here…But JDS has been player of the season so far.

Think that's a bit much. He's stepped up better than anybody could be expected but Premier League managers have tape on us now and they're targeting him in the air.

I would put Mfuni LB once Bobby/Amenda is back.

 

[TomRad85]

Bring Bobby back in and put Mfuni at LB.

 

[Jim]

We've actually had a really solid game there. Scoreline is nonsense.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

The scoreline will flatter them and their fans are pretty shocking.

Yep but no doubt we’ll overlook that and say how bad some of our players have been…when they haven’t been.
Ref/VAR have some questions to answer.

 

[skyblue025]

Theres nothing wrong with his positioning. The ball has to hit a mark about one foot wide to beat him and it does.

There shouldn’t be a gap to hit. If he’s a foot closer to the post it’s not a goal, it hits him even if he can’t get his hands too it.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I know you’re new here…But JDS has been player of the season so far.

He was not good today. Might’ve been good at other games. Plus I’m not new here

 

[DT-R]

They didnt deserve that. 3-1 flattered them. But we cant keep making stupid mistakes like we do every week. Poor defending every week, Rushworth looks half the keeper he was last season. Lampards subs and decision making is fucking laughable at times.

Most annoying result of the season so far

Still Hull for me

Agree with this.

 

[covcity4life]

Dissapointing to lose but in happy with the performance and optimistic for rest of the season

Gboho looks really good. Yirenki is consistent. Cbs look strong. Taiwo had dangerous moments. Rudoni plays with confidence.

Poor game for the full backs and not sure why lampard didn't change things towards end.

We were hard done by at same time I do remember them relaxing the hair pull rules and if not being bias there isn't conclusive evidence he handballed it imo. The taiwo one was a pen however even if soft. Looked on box to me

Still overall a pleasing oetofrmsnce. We no longer play like a team punching above weight and look like we belong . Still lots of improvement to come though I'm sureheres to some good results Vs a our rivals this weekend and go into intl break outside the relegation zone. Then bring on palace where hopefully we show them we are here to stay

Played well for an hour, too much panic from some of our players when they have more time than they realise, some positives but we need to be more resilient.

Was post Forest but has been poor for quite a few games now

 

[fatso]

Let's not lose our shit, that scoreline flattered them, on another night one or two decisions go the other way and we get a result.

We showed tonight we belong in this league

No Wright, no Thomas, no Onyeka. And yet we were a competitive team away from home.

 

[Matt smith]

bring Bobby in next game Mfuni at LB

Back post twice pulled onto da Silva

 

[HadjiChippo]

We’re just not streetwise enough at this level yet, It’ll come with time and we’ve shown we can hurt teams.

Bring on the palace game, perfect opportunity to get back to winning.

[David O'Day]

We're feeling hard done by against a team that are fighting for europe away and currently sit 5th.

It's progess from the utter shambles of say hull or Arsenal away when we basically rolled over,

 

[CovveeBreak]

Proud of the performance overall.

Rushworth needs confidence and fast.

VAR is a joke.

FL had a mare not making changes earlier.

Onwards.

 

[jordan210]

eVARton 3 Coventry 1

 

[jim20]

We are improving, we were robbed tonight by dodgey VAR and ref. Keep playing like that and improving and we may have a chance at staying up

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Bring Bobby back in and put Mfuni at LB.

He’s not dropping JDs

 

[steve101]

Robbed. VAR disgraceful

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Frank needs to sort his decision making out on subs. 5mins to go and then he decides to bring 4 players on. It should have been earlier and stop brining BTA on.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Annoyed at the result today.

Scoreline flatters them as a couple of ours have been but thought the players did decent.

VAR is diabolical. It’s there to make sure the right decisions happen. If they don’t, what’s the point of it. Doesn’t help the refs are shite in this league like all English leagues.

Lampard for me needs to react quicker. They bring on three subs to inject energy and we only bring on BTA until it’s 4-1? Too little too late.

 

[MAFF]

I still can’t believe he brought BTA on as our only sub until 86th minute. BTA….

 

[CovveeBreak]

This is painful AI

 

[TomRad85]

I hate Dewsbury-Halls face

 

[Marty]

Better decision making at key times we win that even with the VAR decisions, Big T playing in Ghobo, Sakamoto being a bit more composed when he shoots straight at the keeper etc. Mostly happy with that, fought hard just lacking a bit of quality.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I would give up on the idea of Saka away from home.

He doesn't seem to be the same player away from the CBS.

 

[b12345]

I still can’t believe he brought BTA on as our only sub until 86th minute. BTA….

Absolutely no reason for him to be on the bench next game.
