Our pressing was actually done with purpose and thought as well.
Rather than just BTA sprinting aimlessly at players like they'd just called his mum fat.
One thing I think has improved massively was our passing.
Moved well off the ball too
Ref was rubbish but I didn’t see either of those first-half challenges as penalties personally.We should have had four pens by my count. Bassette was shoved over twice in the first half right in front of me, and that’s why he gave a shove back because clearly the ref thought shoves were OK. The elbow was a little something extra.
Ref was truly dreadful again.
Well done to Bassette. We've been crying out for a player to do that for 20 years.
We were in the their half most of the second half. Got some overlaps going out wide which got us some dangerous crossing.First half we did. I thought second when we were chasing the game we stopped completely TBH. The two go together though. Passes are easier to make when the receiver has moved into space.
Agreed I said weeks ago he needs to be on the pitch to give us some aggression and pressing.Robins was crazy not playing Bassette more
Nah just Coventry vs Northampton RugbyAnything interesting on CWR post match re:Lampard or was it just the usual mouth breathers ringing/texting in?

Still need more quick 1-2s or risky through balls however
Lati also lost his manHere you go...
He was in a good position, was facing the right way, and anticipated the pass.
It was just an excellent ball. Have people never heard of a defence splitting pass? That's why Hamer gets the big bucks. Just about any defender in the league is getting beat by that pass.
There’s such a disparity in the game currently in how attackers and defenders are judged in the final third. I’m surprised Bassett got away with as much as he did.At least one was a full shove in the back from where I was. I just think if you give CBs a foul for falling over when they’re touched, you can’t claim it’s OK to push attackers over.
We need a creative spark. Palmer and o hare goneWe needed to move them about a lot more to try and open space. We’ve done this all season stood about watching the man with the ball afraid to move out of position. We won’t be a top team until we can handle teams not allowing us to counter attack them only.
MR : Adi look here we’ve strung 5 passes consecutively togetherIt's a shame Mark Robins didn't play him, he might still have a job now.
I wonder if Mark watched it on Sky, I'd love to know his thoughts.

Rudoni is good but can't do it alone. I'm sure recruitment team are looking at it
There was one game where Simms was quite feisty and looked great and he’s back to looking like he’s just ambling around. So much potential.Rudoni isn’t anywhere near as tricksy as I thought he’d be. We should have had Saka and EMC on at half time for their ability to beat a man instead of always playing in front of them. I said I’d have had Simms on too but when he came on he was totally ineffectual again. What’s happened to him?
I personally agreed at keeping formation same for second half . I would have changed it around 55th minsRudoni isn’t anywhere near as tricksy as I thought he’d be.

Simms looks like he isn't trying even with new manager incoming. Worrying.

People acting like these are points dropped they’re not. Very much a point gained, came back twice from losing positions. We dominated them and they’re supposed to be one of the best teams in the league. When Lampard or whoever the new HC will be whips us into shape we’ll be a real force, and when Haji comes back from injury he’ll be like a new signing (hopefully FL brings Ashley Cole to sure up the backline)
Don't agree he exhibits a lack of effort, he's more just completely devoid of any kind of confidence.
I’m not going to go back over previous pages as can imagine ! Played really well today, struggled to break them down second half but that’s because they just sat with everyone behind the ball. Got a point and deserved more against team top of the table
defence is still loose as fuck though. i hope the new manager can get the best out of Kitching as there’s no way he shouldn’t be in a back five if he can rediscover his form/confidence
He delivers a good corner though, and we had a ton of those today.Rudoni isn’t anywhere near as tricksy as I thought he’d be.

This image is why Eccles got booked. This was given as a GK
Defence is a real worry. I dread to think where we’d be with even a middle of the road defensive record. Am I right in saying we’ve scored three in every win so far? Not exactly sustainable.
Was given as a corner iirc cos we got away one as it his rudoni lastThis image is why Eccles got booked. This was given as a GK
The bizarre thing is this is the same group as last year so it’s got to be down to coaching/set up…as well as regular lapses on concentration !
Saying that we seem to get punished for every lapse. Id love to see goals to shots ratio for our opposition in recent weeks, especially at home, would imagine it’s high !

The free-kick when Tats was fouled on the edge of the box was very good, took Sheff U completely by surprise.Thought our set pieces weren’t great today tbh. What was the game where we pulled out about ten unique set piece routines then we’ve gone back to just lumping it in the mixer.
