Can we blame McNulty for that? Surely that was down to tactical deployment from Mark Robins.
Can we blame McNulty for that? Surely that was down to tactical deployment from Mark Robins.My opinion on McNuly is he’s the senior forward and didn’t offer Ponticelli anywhere near enough close support which is what a rookie kid needs

He is an easy scapegoat for the boo boys.
Easy for him to change that by starting to do what he's paid for scoring goals
Exactly the point that's already been made! All down to expectation....Then you didn't watch the same game as me. Just my opinion.
Indeed. Thought he was our best player 1st half but 2nd half was just as bad as the rest, but I guess out wide didn't help either, round pegs in square holes etc.He is an easy scapegoat for the boo boys.
Bit harsh, do you actually know SW88?What a prick
He scored a great header at Luton
That's a positive? It would be weak goalkeeping in my book.One positive from today I suppose that once again it took a very long range effort in order for us to let a goal in.
Who do we actually have that can hold the ball up?
Perhaps Beavon and Ponticelli wouldn't be such a bad combo up front...
He set up his best chanceMy opinion on McNuly is he’s the senior forward and didn’t offer Ponticelli anywhere near enough close support which is what a rookie kid needs
What about players paid to set them up?Easy for him to change that by starting to do what he's paid for scoring goals

I must have been looking away for all of those one on one chances he had.
Our fans baffle me
In terms of the only thing that beat us.That's a positive? It would be weak goalkeeping in my book.
Do you not notice other players dragging defenders away to give ponticelli space?They baffle me how we allow strikers to get away with no goals because they run around, he doesn't get in the right positions to score so on the rare occasions it goes in the box he is nowhere to be seen ( is Beavon his personal coach) pontecelli had little service but still managed three efforts from inside the box why because he gets into the right areas mcnulty stands scratching his arse on the edge of the box
Flogging a dead horse there, Nick.Do you not notice other players dragging defenders away to give ponticelli space?
How many great passes didn't the strikers get on the end of that split the defence yesterday?
Strikers need service.
Here is two facts
1 you are clueless about football
2 you don’t attend football matches (well not Coventry ones anyway)

Strikers need service. Watch the movement, watch them ask for the ball to run in behind. Both mcnulty and ponticelli tend to point where they want it.
Good example yesterday was Mcnulty lost his man and made a run, Jones held on too long and hammered it out of play.
Mcnulty is having to drop for the ball, he gets it usually by the d on half way then spins off for a run.
Don't think he needs to lose a debate to turn personal to be honest. It's an inbuilt response system.3. Whenever Grendel loses another debate he turns personal, it’s like clockwork
Flogging a dead horse there, Nick.
There are clearly two things wrong, albeit that they are linked.
1. We are not creating enough. If Jones doesn't threaten, we as a team tend not to threaten.
2. Two holding midfielders leaves us lacking going forwards. This of course is linked to the first point.
Not creating enough and that is in part down to having two holding midfielders in the team.
Why do you need pace from a corner?Or midfield doesn't have the ability to create good passes forward but nor do most of the teams in this league but they seem to be scoring. Look where mcnulty hides when we have a corner eighteen yards from goal, he won't be any good running onto a ball he has no pace.
In January we need to get rid of him and Beavon and bring in somebody who can score
Why do you need pace from a corner?
Other teams create chances, unless they all have strikers who score every chance which would be impressive.
3. Whenever Grendel loses another debate he turns personal, it’s like clockwork
Had mcnulty put in same performance as ponticelli ppl on here would be rating him 1 and 2s
Ponticelli is yoing and talented but he will not be the answer all season long from what ive seen. Few starts and sub appearences and he can get near 10 league goals this season though i think
Haynes- left & Jones right
Nazon behind McNulty or Pont.
Get Haynes and Jones being direct, getting the ball into the area for whoever the 2 in the middle are simple. : )
Have you watched the highlights back?Stonewall penalty. The defender made contact with their player - they were all screaming after the ball came off the post - how couldn’t it be a penalty?
Have you watched the highlights back?
You really, really sure they were all screaming for a penalty after the ball came back off the post?
If so we were indeed at a different game.
Hardly an appeal to be made there from the Mansfield players. Definitely also looks like Doyle pulled out of the challenge. Definite no penalty for me that one.
Haynes is rubbish
Can't tell from that angle. Ref had a better view. Most certainly wasn't stonewall!It was blatant he ran into him.
Are you saying there was no contact?

Burge has come out and said Rose was diving all game and there simply wasn't any great mass appeal from their players.
I did think the one where Rose got booked for diving looked like a pen though. Thought Grimmer just caught him, even though he did make a meal of it.
