Wasted free kick routine then, everybody goes up we try to play it short and it comes to nothing.

Within seconds they have a corner.

Its only a matter of time until they score, we are struggling big time.

That was the most Coventry thing ever. Waste a good free kick then goal line scrabble at the other end

Only been watching since the 15th minute but we've been really poor.

They hit the post.

We need to stop them getting crosses in... We look helpless.

Why have we signed apparently one of the best left backs in the league but choose to play an inexperienced 20 year old..

Watching on Ifollow. Been all them, could really be 2 or 3 up by now. Bakayoko and Bayliss been only positives, we’re lucky to still be in the game

They remind me of a certain crazy gang in style. Cause havoc see what happens.

As have Wimbledon really and they've deliberately made the game that way. All part of the learning curve for this young team. 2nd half when the space opens up we'll look much better.

Changes - Biamou and Kelly for Hiwalu and Doyle

Aimlessly hoofing it forward without even looking up.

Lucky it is 0-0 at ht

I'd go for Brown for Mason at half time, Kelly for Doyle after 60 and Biamou for Bakayoko for the last 15.

Sounds like we let them come into the game late on, obrien saves, post hit, sterling clears off the line.

Need HT to regroup!

For all his efforts last season Doyle suddenly looks like a 37 year old, off the pace. Full backs are naive at times. Bakayoko decent movement.

Not even close. The most Coventry thing ever would be Lady Godiva stuffing a cat in a wheelie bin (In the rain)

Midfield needs to buck up it's ideas, a lot of second balls are being won in the area outside our box and they're just recycling it and getting more crosses in.

I think at some point it needs to be Kelly for Doyle if it continues like this.

Well, that was dreadful. Doesn't look like we have a game plan at all.

Doyle hasnt been involved at all, we need to stop playing to Bakayoka as if he is Biamou. He wants it in the channels or a one on one for pace with the defender.

Yep Doyle just keep saying lumping it forward. I’d be tempted to move Bayliss inside stink max up front and play Baka out wide right. Bayliss has height to compete in the middle. Really struggling with balls into the box

There are more problems than substitutions we are allowed

Sounds like we started ok. Then allowed them too much space wide. Hopefully cut out crosses and hold the ball up front a bit.

They're not it's more that Wimbledon are crossing from everywhere. They are playing in the traditional Wimbledon fashion.

Biggest thing is cutting out their crosses, they are happy to pump it into the box from anywhere on the pitch and it is causing us all sorts of trouble.

Our full backs have been too exposed. We need to get the ball down and play, avoid their hoof tactic. Our central defenders have done well against it but we have to cut it out and pick the ball up more in the middle of the park. Slow them down. There is clearly still lack of understanding between players but we will improve with more minutes. mason good coming forward Stirling does not look comfortable.

Anywhere, byline, halfway line or whenever they get a bit of space they just put it on the penalty spot.

Like last week Bakayoka is stranded as the central striker, Hiwula too left and Bayliss almost CM which leaves Sterling exposed.

In league 2 you can probably get away with lumping it forward blindly but you can't now. Finally get a bit of a team passing move then it goes to Doyle who first time hoofs it blind. Did the same against scunny

Sterling shows nothing of this alleged wing back pedigree, seems afraid of the ball to me!

Agree, not really impressed as yet.

Mason looks better going forward, again though they put 2 big men on him for the diagonal balls.
