    Have to disagree there. It's a pretty simple ball to control if he uses his left foot and it was relatively straightforward to have sidefooted first time too on his left. It's his decision to try and control a ball on his right foot that is travelling across him that turns into the difficult...

    Tonight will be a good indication of whether this really is a different Coventry. There's been a hell of a lot of spirited performances so far this season and we've battled until the death, grabbing late goals at Portsmouth, Oxford and Blackpool and coming back from a 2 goal deficit against 2 of...

    Jobello's an odd one. Haven't seen much of a footballing brain so far at all, he just seems very unpredictable with what he does. Sometimes he crosses early, sometimes he cuts inside and sometimes he gets to the byline but the decision never seems to be based on what is happening around him. He...

    I thought Walsh was brilliant first half and then faded badly in the 2nd, which I suspect was a combination of lack of match fitness in what was a very intense game, and his earlyish yellow card.

    Could have been better, could have been worse but it was a good game to watch and a useful point on the road. Unbeaten by mid September!

    If Kastaneer hadn't scored that blinder after 30 seconds of being on the pitch the other week, I'd be thinking he'd done an Ali Dia on Robins!

    Kastaneer looks a bit fitter than in his other appearances. Shed a bit of weight?

    Godden's concentration and anticipation is superb. He's lucky to get 10 touches per game but he always does something with the ball when it comes his way. He's perfect for that role.

    I'm gonna say Hiwula has had a shocker today and is currently getting a 4 in my match ratings, so that he scores the winner.

    McFadzean looks like he's on a one man mission to stop them scoring today.

    Thought that was a great tackle, won the ball cleanly and wanted it more than Jobello, just went through him on the follow through.

    Need to start managing Boyce better too. He's getting in all kinds of good positions and we're loose on him. When we do get tight he's buying a lot of soft free kicks.

    This ref is making me nervous. Looks like he's got a brain meltdown in him.

    Hiwula's left foot has been horrendous today.

    The greed has always been there though, it was the money that wasn't there before - for years everyone was worried about the top clubs leaving to play in a European elite league. Now the rumours are of the top teams not wanting further reform in the European cups (Champions league, Europa etc)...

    Nice to have O'Hare and Allen on the bench for this. Suspect Allen wouldn't have been there if Kelly was fit though so only expect to see O'Hare

    We have been wasting these corners today, that one was ridiculous. Very lucky to get a free kick out of it.
