They are the ones who kick it into the box for strikers to shoot

Half time. Lucky it’s only 2-0. Brighton yet to get out of second gear and break a sweat

Barratt a wide man? he hasn't offered any width in any of the games he's played in this season.

I hope Robins has learnt his lesson about loaning under 23 players.
If the budget doesn't allow for bringing in more experience then I'd rather he played some of our own youngsters.

Sums up our attack, we have a chance to go at them but we stop and turn back. Ends up with shipley trying a silly pass they intercept and shoot over.

I don't think anybody knows, been saying it for weeks.

We are relying on somebody scoring a worldie.

He’s not alone! We’re a shambles defensively. Offensively I can understand that we might struggle against premiership teams but from a defensive point of view surely any pro footballer knows how to mark a man?

Disappointing but I could hardly say unexpected. We'll do well to keep it at 2-0

Nothing wrong with under 23 loans if they are better than you already have. Barratt and JMD don't look any better than our own youngsters.

no one wants to see us lose but they're 63 places and 3 leagues above us. What do people really expect?

Plenty of chances created for them as well because they have a plan.

Completely outplayed, no question about it.

Seen us play better though, always either hoofing it up to JCH (looking at you Haynes) or trying the difficult ball. Keep things simple.

Let's see what the second half brings but I think this is the end of the cup run.

Gulf in the level is clear to see.

A early goal in the 2nd half and who knows what may happen.

Commentator on sports net saying the same. We make the most basic errors, get a free kick in their half play it back when it should be going into the box

they're always a gamble though. Young players are notoriously inconsistent, just look at our own youngsters. I don't think it's the route we should go down.
We've done it now but it shouldn't be something we pursue in the future.

I’m pretty convinced it makes no difference other than a positive one winning games. We are on a bad run. We are missing

Jones
Andreu
Davies
Doyle
McDonald

Others carrying knocks and people are wondering why we are struggling to compete at a premier league team with a 12.5m striker up front

Ffs wake up will you!!

Summed it up perfectly, play it back to Burge to lump it long and lose possession.

If your gonna lose it put it in the box

We're so defensive, we had no width, we try to play football in the wrong areas and thr amount of cheap ball we give away is ridiculous. Its pretty much how we play in the league, that free kick summed it up, it ended going back to burge who had to launch it anyway.

Ref paying a lot of attention to the camera (like a go pro) behind the goal. Guessing it’s club coverage and not goal line tech etc? Strange how he went straight to it when normally it’s the lino’s Who just check the netting?

David Pleat on BBC Radio 5 live:

"If someone asked me are Coventry a direct side or do they play through the middle, I honestly could not say."

"They simply do not have the speed or the guile to trouble Brighton."
