I know it’s humid but this is pretty lethargic - after a reasonable start we look second best. Little happening up front. Bayliss struggling to make any impact.
Think we are not winning enough headers front or back. Not getting wide enough quickly. Lots of city players look shattered. But we have created better chances. Just ahead on points I think.
Exeter are very well organised defensively and are aware of the imbalance in our midfield, IE no width and no right midfielder. It's putting too much onus on Grimmer's distribution and that has been poor.
Shipley has looked lively and tried to make things happen. Biamou very quiet. Bayliss still looks the man most likely for me, has the touch and creativity but has been played down dead ends too much and well snuffed out by Exeter's defence. Atm it feels like it's not quite going to happen for us, but everything crossed that we find a way to break them down and stay solid at the back. Can see extra time happening though.
Quote from the BBC site... "The Coventry City train looks like it's heading full speed to Promotionville after being stuck in the middle of nowhere for about 51 years without a rail replacement bus service in sight."
Brilliant!!!
