Just back from the game, extremely angry after the performance.
I dont do ratings, just make observations. Thought we were ok in the 1st half against a teriible and feeble team. Alas, Keough (again) and McCormack (surprisingly) missed a catalogue of chances. Howson was terrific, and Snoddy eager but wayward.
And so to the 2nd half, aka the non event.
Snoddy got a kick from a 4 foot midget in the first minute and from then on did nothing.
The other 10 players were awful, and committed the cardinal sin of applying zero effort. There was no leadership either from the captain, or from the manager.
A pathetic Coventry gained total control of the game, won every 50/50 ball and looked the team most likely. Their 48 fans in the "new away end" sensed blood and perked up in their comfy West Stand Seats. The wrong players were sub'd. As Pugh gained in ineptitiude as the game wore on, it was only a matter of time before he came off, - alas not as the 2 strikers were amazingly replaced at the same time. An error of such magnitude by the manager, I swear his mind is elsewhere
Forsell didnt touch the ball, didnt close down the ball, didnt go anywhere near the ball, didnt run, didnt cover, was always out of positioetc etc.
So, an awful night, just when we thought things were going swimmingly, a touch of realism hits home.
A poor crowd, no atmosphere, lots of angry folk at the final whistle."
