Eh? I was on about when Bidwell threw himself to the ground when their winger got his foot within 5 yards of him. Was an embarrassing dive

I was amazed he wasn't booked.

Bidwell thought it was a PNE player and deployed a safety first move and then realised it was a Maidstone lad and embarrassed himself

To be fair it does at the start look like the Maidstone player is coming through knee high so I'd have jumped out the way.

Just hope there isn't any chance of retrospective action as it was a disgrace. It wasn't even convincing.

No I don’t think there would be, if the player had been sent off then there would be a case to answer, but not sure if a foul had been given. Don’t know?

I get that the class difference told last night and coventry played with no pressure on the ball or intensity second half, but I guess you just were not looking when we created two okish chances in the first half through crosses.

You're stretching a bit.

Did you think that the way he twisted and went down as if he had been hit was ok? I think this sort of thing is a disgrace. I know he's our player but I hate when Jack Grealish does it so I can't accept it in our players either.

Does look like he lands on his arm, which might make him go down (and not putting his full weight through the arm possibly saved a break for the Maidstone player). Does look like he's already going down when he makes that contact to be fair.

So, I saw this at the time and thought it was pretty shameful, but with hindsight I'm prepared to give Bidwell the benefit of the doubt.
He's seen two of his teammates (very likely friends) be seriously injured in previous weeks, through actions of opposition players. There's no question that no matter how much you try and put it out of your mind, there'll be a part of Bidwell that is thinking that getting a season ending injury from a shit tackle from a lower league player is a very real possibility.

My reading of it is that Bidwell clears the ball and instinctively jumps out of the way of a pretty gung-ho tackle. Yes, he looks like a bit of a tit doing it, and he falls over looking like he's been shot, but he doesn't stay down looking for something from the referee. He gets back up and is cross with their player and gets back on with the game.

Of course we can wear our sky blue glasses but let's face it if that was a Leicester player for example we wouldn't be giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Agreed he didn't roll around on the floor after or even appeal for the foul, but the initial dive was unacceptable.

If it was a Leicester player I would be hoping the Maidstone player had taken him out causing some ligament damage and getting away Scot free, however it was bidders - nothing to see here
