    I also hope we have more fans tomorrow, but we all know we’re hoping in vain. It’s a shame. Of course people have a choice but unfortunately a lot of people are opting for the wrong one.

    First. If you can’t see how good we are, even with a lack of a clinical striker, you’re either oblivious or have been a Coventry fan too long and on default pessimism mode! Tongue in cheek aside, this squad is more than capable of finishing in the autos and anything less will be incredibly...

    Hopefully he sticks with the two up front, it was extremely effective on Tuesday and in theory should be more so on Saturday (granted theory doesn’t always match reality). If he does play two, it’s deciding which! Baka and Biamou deserve to start again, but Biamou played 120 minutes so it’ll...

    I think the opposite; naturally they’ll be disappointed to lose, but they should take confidence from outperforming a Championship team. We also lost on penalties, which while shit, is a lot better than being outplayed/thrashed in open play. Genuinely think they’ll be proud of themselves and...

    Frustrating game to score as we played fantastically against a team in the league above, so a bit of context needed Marosi - 7 - was actually better off his line than he has been in a while, when he actually came for it. I also thought his long range kicking was poor. Great save when they were...

    Godden was poor tonight, I don’t think anyone can make an argument otherwise. I genuinely can’t think of one positive contribution. As I’ve said a few times, I’m not writing him off. Maybe he isn’t fit yet? But whatever the reason, he looked miles off where he needs to be tonight. Baka on the...

    There are a few strong reactions on here tonight but that’s completely understandable. I note a lot of people weren’t there, no issue with that, but tonight was one of those where the disappointment was 10 times worse in person. The commentary won’t have done justice for how well we performed...

    You love a misdirection. What has our other strikers got to do with him having zero attributes? And as I also said, I’m not writing him off as his career and the consecutive hat tricks suggest he must have something about him. But so far I’m struggling to see what that is. Not sure if you...

    Their fans have all ran around behind where the pens are being taken. Surely the ref/police need to make a call.

    Feels like a loss. We absolutely deserve the win. Whatever happened we’ve proved we are a very strong team. I fucking hate pens.

    Godden has zero attributes. Not writing him off, but he really was not a good option tonight. He was just put through and his lack of pace was appalling.

    People suggesting Jones for his pace - I get it but who for? Godden is the weak link (by far) and he won’t sub a sub. Allen and O’Hare are fresh and lively while we beer Biamou as an outlet.

    Not read any of the last few pages, but essentially that is completely our own fault. At least THREE clear cut chances. And they really were easy. They had one and scored. Worried about the strike force now, Baka had cramp so had to go off, but (and I don’t want to jump on the bandwagon) Godden...

    Absolute sitter Westbrooke. Absolute sitter Biamou. Fantastic play from BAKAYOKO for both. He’s still shit though of course.

    Positive half overall. We started incredibly well, but they got back into it after 20/25 minutes and had there 10 minute spell before it evened out. They don’t look that good (hope that doesn’t come back to bite me), and are resorting to long throws which says a lot. Pask has pace, but has...

    Montero has the beating of Pask. Marosi’s long range kicking is awful. They are more into it; but they have a heavy reliance on long throws. We’ve dropped our tempo but whenever we pass it around we look the better team. I like Shipley but we miss Walsh in the middle a lot. This game is...

    They’re having their 10 mins, but we aren’t too troubled. Not convinced by Pask defensively yet, looks on his back foot too much. People on Baka’s back after he didn’t shoot once - classic. Westbrooke too anonymous now - he isn’t a creative 10. I think he’s been told to run around for 60 mins...

    I agree, I wouldn’t change it, but it explains why Baka looks good.
