We're relying on our league 1 players after spending £20m and it's pathetic.

Absolutely bang on, we’ve regressed an unbelievable amount so far this season.

Atmosphere was shocking tonight.

Long gone are the days when the noise carried regardless of the results. Dragged the players through games at home 2 years ago.

I also thought Wright did alright when he came on. Ran the channels well and added some energy.

He snatched at the chance probably out of desperation. Got to keep supporting the team as tearing into them won’t do any good.

Mate, I get supporting players and that but we didn't pay £8m (and the rest) for someone to chase dead balls down the wing and walk back to the half way line

What we weren't was in control. Huddersfield were by far the more threatening team after the break.

1 win since August and 2 shots on target will do that

I think Ogrizovic is usually a good voice for the club but I think he’s been talking some absolute bollocks tonight. Only so many times you can shout the word “gel” at the team.

Not sure what the fans were meant to do when everybody could see they were getting into the game but seemingly robins didn't.

Then he just made his textbook subs that he would have made at 4-0 up.

It was awful. The fans have done their bit, we have spent about 20 million or whatever and we were holding onto a one nil at home against Huddersfield.

Then we subbed the wing backs off who were having a decent game.

REPORT: Coventry City 1-1 Huddersfield Town

Yasin Ayari’s first goal for the Sky Blues helped to secure a point against Huddersfield Town at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Yasin Ayari’s first goal for the Sky Blues helped to secure a point against Huddersfield Town at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Ellis Simms unleashed a ferocious effort which was tipped onto the bar by Lee Nicholls and came off Ayari and went into the back of the net.

Ben Wilson produced some fine saves in the second half to help secure the points and keep a third clean sheet of the season.


Quality reporting from the club

There's no quality in the team.
The best we can do is Simms, COH, Allen and Sheaf and hope we scrape mid table.
The waste of money this season will cost us for years. It had to be used to bring 1 or 2 quality players in. It's been wasted.

Running the risk of sounding alarmist, but we're in a spot of bother here. The spine of the team.consists of Fadz, Eccles, Kelly, Allen and Godden. Fond of all of them, but that's basically our League One side from a few years ago.

The squad we have at our disposal doesn't get any better for another 6 games or so either. This could get very rough.

The multiple signings created expectation, the reality of our losses in Vik and Hamer are now coming home to roost . We look bang average again. Injuries have crippled us yet again all over the pitch but the biggest issue is we’ve signed a load of duds up front

When the subs were brought on.

Huddersfield were well on top and should have scored, but when we brought Wright and Allen on, it changed the game and we took the control back.

City almost wrapped up all three points three minutes from time, but Lee Nicholls produced a stunning save to keep out Bobby Thomas.

However, Ayari’s first goal for the Club would prove to be enough, as City got back to winning ways against the Terriers.

But, late in the day, the Terriers levelled the game.

We hadn't just spent 20m on a couple of strikers and centre halves while starting games with Eccles and Kelly in the middle.

It's ok though, we spent 5m on the centre half to be on the bench.

As we've seen it's perfectly possible to get brilliant players in for £1m. We've had our pants pulled down in the market this year.

Wright did the exact same thing at Hull as well. Blazed it over from a couple of yards out. It's not a confidence issue, he's just dreadful.

But you are disrespecting them. Kelly's performance as a holding midfielder tonight was seriously good IMO. The team shape isn't working, the balance isn't right, but that shouldn't detract from the way he did his specific job.

I'm assuming the bit about wright adding more is a joke? Simms plays a more central role but his energy got the goal for us and seemed the only outlet. Godden was bang average tonight and didn't hold up the ball as needed.
Click to expand...

No mate, not a joke. An opinion. Get over it if yours differs.

Down the channels Simms looked quicker and keener when he came on, I thought. Simms was probably tiring by then in fairness.

I'm interested in your genius though mate, you're of the opinion that Simms is a striker that doesn't need to work and run the channels perhaps. That's a new one to me, and you might want to look again at what happened just before he got his shot in tonight. Are you sure you're not having a joke?

As for Godden, he's the only one scoring and he's not a six foot target man. In my opinion the people you want holding up the ball and causing defenders problems are Simms and Wright; the person you want in front of goal is Godden.
