In the bottom right corner a few fans put up two fingers to him and told him to fuck off. Disgraceful but it was a minority

He’s a striker and one that’s just scored last week, so should be full of confidence. Hindsight is 20/20 but if we don’t want our strikers taking penalties then there is a problem.

Bunch of tossers. You don’t knock a player who has guts to take one. The issue here in hindsight is Waghorn should have taken it. But again he might have missed or it gets saved.

Sounds like we played well and players like Maatsen, and Hamer looked a lot better than last week. We will win games this season in the same manor we lost today

Not sure we'll be playing there again, guvna.

I saw one on Facebook, ‘we created enough chances to win easily, Robins set up all wrong’. Mind blowing

Funny how people are quick to mention FB have you even read any comments on here?
So we lost I for one feel better about it after today.
Really thought we would struggle this year but I am quietly confident that we will be ok now, just get the forwards to gel a bit better and bang. this game will then be forgotten.

The bigger issue is that Waghorn us a renowned dead ball specialist and striker of the ball. If you have a specialist they are on it, no matter what position they play. Like Jacobson at Wycombe.

Didn't go today, but I listened on the wireless.

I remember listening to us being away at QPR last Good Friday (2021) and thinking that we are headed for league one.

Listened today and thought, if that Barnsley mob made the play offs last season we are going to be okay.

Keep the faith.

The Waghorn song needs putting into the bin. 'Shagged a bird and now she's dead'? Embarrassing.

Some right clowns there today in that away end. So pissed they didn't realise there was a minute silence.

Hopefully we can learn from this and grow a pair when we face teams who want to shitehouse the victory.

We need to get more street rise and play to the refs.

Im pretty confident we will find our feet quiet this season than last. Barnsley will end the season below us if thats their tactics.

The problem we have is we rarely score enough goals when we are dominant. Blackpool is another game we should get something from. I don’t think forest Blackpool or Barnsley are any great shakes. Stats show we had plenty of set plays and possession but we need to convert better.

Got to love Coventry fans:

'60 bags Wagohorn'
'He's over the hill and just collecting a salary'
'Not sure what we brought him for'
'Max could do a similar job'
'Foghorn'

.........

The fault was robins not playing the new lad who’s left footed in that position

FFS, don't conflate elite and renowned in this instance. I'm not saying he's Roberto Carlos. Simply that I thought he was known for taking set pieces.

He’s been taking all free kicks and corners and has been a pen taker where ever he’s been...he bottled it

I gave you a like for the use of conflate, which is a recent addition to my vocabulary (although I haven't been brave enough to use, except for when ordering breakfast cereal)

Its Robins' job to make him take it, its Robins' fault not Waghorns.

Yeah there is a case for that also surely someone is on set pieces Hamer and Maatsen so why isn’t nobody on pens

Exactly mate, and now it sounds like he will... after the horse has bolted. Disappointing management tbh.
Hopefully we can put it all right on Tuesday.

Not necessary bottling it. He's new into the club and he wasn't assigned penalty taker. From what Robins says he will be now.

No issue with Gyökeres stepping up. Was a poor penalty though. Big missed opportunity.

If we play like we did today we'll have a decent season. Just need a bit more composure in the final third.

Fadz and robins both needed to step in I think the entire stadium expected Waghorn to take that

Not sure it's disappointing management tbh. He explained his reasoning. A player just missed a penalty. It happens.

Agree to disagree. I think its poor management, I'd say Robins probably thinks so too as he says Waghorn will take from now on.

You could hear them on the radio, with Barnsley fans giving them abuse for being disrespectful
