Honestly think we’re just missing that dynamism in the CM slot and we’re there or there abouts. Id bring Ayari in for a striker until then, if we’re going to have more possession then we need to have more players who can break that final third as well as score themselves.

Agreed

What a pile of shit, what’s with all the bullshit numbers, get a fucking life. Chances were missed, the opposition keeper wasn’t really stretched….. put a daft figure on it

If the numbers mean nothing to you then:

a) you’re probably not the target audience.
b) it might be worth reading and understanding what it means in qualitative form.

Simms’s chance was first half , his and Wrights were one on one with only the keeper to beat, both were straight at him

My mistake, yes it was first half. Had in my head that we were shooting towards the away fans in 2nd half as we usually would. But yes, both chances are down at very slim odds to score. Don’t get me wrong, watching live I thought the Wright one in particular should have been buried but when it’s set against this purported “half decent chance” Godden had it really highlights the bias. This is as much self-critical as criticising anyone else’s bias.

I thought it was a really high quality match between two good sides.

Dasilva motm for me but Latibeaudiere was excellent too. Fadz, Eccles and Palmer at times also played well. I really like Latibeaudiere because he uses the ball so well and is aggressive defensively. Thomas is ok defensively but distribution seems poor, very similar to McNally.

I thought Eccles had a good game until he tired at the end. Sheaf did some good things but nowhere near as good as against Middlesbrough. Was interested to see how frustrated he was getting with Simms, and Sheaf doesn't normally seem like that. A couple of times he seemed annoyed by Simms lack of pressure on the Sunderland defence. Never seen Sheaf react like that with one of our players before.

I thought Simms looked better than previous matches but still he was pretty poor. Unfortunately this week Wright was no better.

Ayari looks a player but also messed up a couple if times. I think he'll do well though.

Sunderland defended well which explains our lack of chances, despite playing well, and they looked dangerous at times too.

 

[Como]

We missed Hamer, amusingly he was there.

Playing the big boys tomorrow.

 

[Greggs]

Hamer or Gyokores in the side we win 3-0. Thank god we've got 2 10 million quid strikers though.....

Just had my one and only Scumberland friend call me who came down for the game …. She said we have spent all this money on players that are average for this league. Not bad at the back but could be over run quite easy down the flanks . Eccles was MOTM for us which I can kind of agree with . Palmer and Sheaf very composed but lacking drive . Godden and Simms very poor .
if we finish top half it’s a good season

Careful mate, people will block you if you criticise.

Sounds like a typical Scumberland fan , we will be top 6

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Id much rather Palmer never comes off

Well if he had the stamina to stay on the pitch he never would

 

[covcity4life]

Well if he had the stamina to stay on the pitch he never would

He wasn't noticbly tired today. Wouldn't have subbed him off myself

Not that it matters I guess. Ayari set up wright and he should have scored.

Box with both of them playing plz robins

Love Robins describing Fadz saying ‘getting his big nose infront of things’

Mark Robins says Kyle McFadzean was 'a joke' in Coventry draw with Sunderland

Wasn’t the best game but I did think we were slightly the better team particularly in the first half. Although other than Palmer it was hard to see where the goal would come from. Like some have mentioned on here I thought Eccles was decent.

 

[Grendel]

Not sure if I was watching a different game but Wright looked very good to me in his short time on the pitch. He is going to be a very important player for us.

Some of the reactions on here to a 0-0 draw this early in the season are ridiculous.

Anyone writing off players after 3-4 games - get a fucking grip.

Judging by your comments on the first half I’d say you were at a different game yes

 

[MusicDating]

Just watching the extended highlights and everyone missed this blatant handball from O'Nien on MVE's first long throw. No one appealed and he's just back-handed it away!

So are we even now for the alleged incidents of '77, everyone can mov3 on?

Judging by your insane and clueless demands to order taxis for Robins (who has been our manager for 350 games and an amazing success)….

…it’s 100% evident at this point that you’ve been at 350 different games to the rest of us.

Seriously I actually can’t understand how anyone who watches football can be so clueless- it’s one of the great mysteries.

Don’t be too hard on yourself

If we kept Robbie Keane it would have 8-0

All I know is that I’ve been able to watch I think one fucking game so far for my £140 a year iFollow overseas pass

fucking joke

Isn’t kick off past your bedtime?
I’ve got used to just waiting until midnight GMT which is 4:00 p.m. for me and Sunday morning for you. Although saying that the Sunderland game was locked for almost an extra day for some reason.

Send them my way if it’s just an IP service. Last time I tried I could only use it on my phone but got an LG TV that has an IPTV app so hoping I can make it work
