Match Thread Coventry City vs Brighton & Hove Albion FC (H) - Match Thread - Sun 13th September (2pm KO) (7 Viewers)

Gutting that. Actually thought we were ok for 30 mins but the 1-2 punch of the second goal and the red tanked us. I think big calls need making. Grimes needs dropping, a hero last season but he just doesn't get the time he needs on the ball to function. As we are struggling I'd rather energy when we are seeing so little of the ball.

Fucking annoying that Hull and Ipswich seem to have taken the leap. It does feel bleak but there is time to turn things around far too soon to be calling us down and out.

I mean it’s funny people blowing smoke up MVE arse he’s been embarrassingly bad - the fact we have him and Dasilva as our wing backs is pathetic

Never in my life did I think, this time last season would I EVER say that JDS is better than MVE. Yet in every game this season, he has been. Granted, hes still probably not good enough, but he's certainly been the better on the 2 so far.

What the fuck is going on with KKH? With MVE this pad AND playing a formation that suits KKH much better we need him fit. How does a player that only ever trains and never plays, injusred so fucking much? What's he made of? Glass?

Cherif to lead the line for 3 games will be fresh entertainment for someone I guess

Keeping my powder dry for a bit on Lampard but I'm always club first. Robins isn't good enough to get a club out of The Championship, as much as people on here hated hearing it. If Lampard can't figure out by himself that Grimes, among others, isn't good enough, well...

Ypu mean the same hull that had the best defensive record in the league? And theyve remembered how to keep doing that?

Unlike the team that had the best attacking record in the league? That have completely forgotten where the fucking goal is?

We had both best attack and best defence

A good start is vital in this league and we have had a terrible one.

No points on the board by game 7 or 8 and you can pretty much pound the gavel.

We didn't, though, did we.

There's been literally no clinicalness at all.

Keeper pulled off a couple of good saves, bit nothing you wouldn't expect them to make.

Also if we hadn’t have conceded those goals it would be 0-0. Just rationalising. It’s there on the pitch. We’re not good enough. By the way that’s not the end of the world. Team has been in much worse places over the past 15 years.

It didn’t take long to flush the fickle out

What do you reckon the owner thinks of nearly £100 million worth of player say outside the 11? Its completely unacceptable and anyone can see it, they need to be in the team next game, this loyalty experiment is done.

Hard to see so many people leaving early. Performance was abysmal, what stuck out for me was the lack of fight and aggression after we went down to 10 men.
The in fighting started towards the end with Rushworth having a go at the defence which is worrying.
It’s four games but the new signings Amenda aside don’t look up to it for me.
If we could take the chances in the first half though we go on to win.
Grimes isn’t good enough as much as I wanted him to be.

I'm not really sure what was expected though. Why wouldn't fans leave?

It was fucking shocking, we had no game plan. We had no idea of what to change.

How can the new signings look up for it while they are sat on the bench?

Unfortunately for Frank, there is no sentiment in business, and I suspect Doug will give him until the end of Oct 26 to show improvement or otherwise goodbye.
 
When we were in the championship we were fairly open at the back remember the number of saves Rushworh had to make plus the quality of strikers meant we got away with it, in the Prem every mistake is put away. We still have 4 members of that defence in our team. Grimes and Onyeka just don't cut it as a prem midfield two, no pace no power no driving force. Emc and Rudoni great champ players but not physical or pacey. We have a play making in Hamer but he is a luxury we can't afford as we don't have that work horse in midfield, Yerenkyi maybe but he is still learning, only 20 and came from Danish football which I am sorry is not Prem standard. Frank has problems, loyalty has to stop and play our best 11.

Think the game was truly over when we went down to 10. Felt like a training session after that

Lampard needs a massive rethink, I wouldnt disagree with that.
That midfield configuration today was horrendous

I understand the anger, I’m more heartbroken than anything else.

The strategy of keeping faith in last year’s players has been proved to be painfully naïve.. despite multiple warnings that sentimentality doesn’t work in the Premier League.

At least we did it the ‘Coventry’ way, abysmal recruitment.

Which is why I pretty much knew we'd be fucked when the fixture list was what it was.

Two of the best teams in the world and a low block. Fuck that shit.

Scoring goals is for maniacs anyway.
 
We're miles off. We might break records this season. Get promoted to the PL and your team should look nothing like the one that got you there, but I see essentially the same team. Where the £100m has gone I'm not sure. Called it when I saw the team, the plucky cup tie type losing performance last week meant nothing really.

On a personal level though, it matters not. I'll cheer them on this season and will next, but it's going to be a slog for a while. Won't be slating anyone, or calling for anyone's head. We keep an going and we might get a few good result here and there. 6 hours without a goal isn't much though.
 
This was always a possibility. It’s time to back the team or waddle off and put your support behind someone who wins a lot. In terms of the game I think it will be a bit of a watershed for Lampard. 4 key things. 1) We’re going to concede goals with 4 or 5 at the back so just go with 4. 2) We can’t carry on with two midfielders - has to be three and one has to be Yirenkyi. 3) He’s got to acknowledge Grimes is not in that three and 4) If Cherif has a goal in him he has to start
