But in my opinion his excellent cross didn't make up for all the poor play and I don't think Beavon did that much wrong apart from keep getting caught offside. Beavon just wasn't in the game enough, so not praising him, but he too put in an excellent cross for Nazon, from which he probably...

Trouble is with Grimmer is he gets beaten far too easily. Players just waltz past him with no challenge coming in whatsoever.

Ha! Just watching it now and realised I had it all on delay. Was waiting for the Aussie innings to start, but just tried fast forward on my Virgin box only to find out they are already 60 for 0. Goodnight Vienna.

Think this is the way the series will go now. It was vital for England to not go one down. 170 is surely not going to be enough. Once again England have got players in and got going only to not then convert into really big scores. Familiar feel to it all yet again. Only way we can win this now...

Yep. Freezing!!

Well certainly a boon then to fans saying there is a lack of places to drink. It's only about 4 mins walk to the Ricoh.

Is he getting the best out for them though, that's the question.

They weren't interested at all in taking the ball forwards first 15 mins. Zero ambition. Both Eakin and Garry Thompson said the same in the commentary. Crawley showed no interest at all for the first quarter of the match and they may have tried to nullify us, but we hit the post and if Nazon...

Like the answer of a politician!

How they doing financially, you know? Any idea what their break even figure is? Guessing it is a lot less than 2,000.

Burge 5.5 - Good save, but lacked command of his area and was very dithery and jittery. Grimmer 6 - Good going forwards, but once again beaten far too easily when defending Willis 6 - Really not that much to do overall. McDonald 6 - Ditto, though he did make an error that could have cost us...

Which is kind of my point. I think if they had approached the game in a more positive manner they might have beaten us quite easily.

I there were lots of big misses today to be fair.

Coventry City player ratings: Sky Blues assessed Andy Turner has Doyle down as an 8 today. I thought he was quite poor. Anyone else think he did okay? I can't quite get my head around Haynes winning the MOTM either. For me Jordan Shipley was easily our best player and Haynes was below par...

Now this might sound like sour grapes, but I assure you it isn't, but if Coventry City played the way Crawley set out today I would no longer go up. It's stuff like this that kills the game and spoils any entertainment. It's outrageous to be honest and Clive Eakin first mentioned them time...

Sounds like a plan!

And like grapes in the cricket.

Yeah, I know, but haven't told the missus that as I want to milk her incompetence. ;)

Hope so. I like his all round game. He just needs to be more clinical.

As I just mentioned though, he far too many times was trying to walk the ball into the net today. His movement was good and he was getting in very dangerous positions, but he lacked that killer instinct in front of goal.
