Dull...
Come up against a team who don't want to gift us the ball on the edge of their own area & we are completely bereft of ideas.

I don’t know how anyone can moan about atmosphere after we’ve just played out one of the most boring 45 minutes in Coventry history.

Same turgid shite it’s been most of the season. Slow shit passing around the U and no attempt to break their lines or do something different.

Chuck Rapha on

Boring half doesn’t quite cover it. We need more creativity to unlock them. Would be Simms for Torp for me. Move Bassette into the wing position and play Rudoni in the centre

The centre midfield again so pedestrian, has moving rudoni out wide upset the balance? Surprised he messed with that rather than just playing BTA on the left.

Highlight of the half for Cov Bassette runs with ball… wasn’t much good that! Rafa on, Simms on for me can’t be much worse than what we’ve already tried

Think it needs somebody to try something and run at them.

Hopefully they will tire

Millwall want the game at snails pace and nick a 1-0. We're trying to figure out how to break them down without Wright and EMC. 0-0 at half time is ok.

That was shit. Pedestrian, dull, one of the most boring halves of football I remember.

Half the team are having stinkers. Can see us losing this 1-0.

Saka needs to step up. He's the only true winger and he's not trying to impact the game

Rudoni done ok tbf but would like him back central.

Simms is like to see given 30 mins or so if not the entire second half

Worth trying Raphael on the left second half , put Rudoni back centrally?

for who, Torp or Eccles

weird that it looks like Torp is a different player with and without Eccles in midfield, and arguably vice-versa

Get Simms on. Bassette shows inexperience there. Should of got hold of it and waited for players to join him. He runs all day but has zero threat I'm afraid. Can we stop passing it around the defence so much and get our midfield on the ball and turn it? We have had no threat, no real chances the whole half. be more direct, throw in a long goal kick, mix it up.

Bassette off Simms on, skipping record from me.

All a bit aimless at the moment. They are very well organised and we are struggling for ideas. There isn't the space to play balls for Norm to chase so may as well have a physical presence up top instead

30 mins at the end on at the same time they take Saka off and we stop any wing play

All out left backs are poor. Does that pass the nick test?

Hard to see what the plan is. Moving to so slowly that they’re able to get set in their shape and we’re just constantly playing it out to the left and getting crowded out. MVE looks scared to cross the half way line so Sakamoto is dropping incredibly deep to try and get the ball and he’s just so ineffective in those areas. Something needs to change at half time.

They are very compact. Every time we create an overload out wide we go the other way. Poor decision making, far too slow and risk averse.

Think we've had one shot on target , desperately missing a threat on the left. Everytime Taso has th ball he is surrounded by 2 of their players. Maybe bring Simms on and even Tavares for some speed or width or the Australian guy ?

People complained that all the action was in the first half on Boxing Day, so clearly the plan was to redress the balance today. Barnstorming second half on its way!!!!

When lats got bored and lumped it to Saka was the best we’d attacked. At least the cat was amongst the pigeons in their half for a change.
