Suppose he could of shuffled the back line last 20-maybe bring Bigi on.My main worry was how tired we looked after 10 days off-they looked fitter. PS not that worried tho.

PS not that worried tho.I think we should all learn from this game.Our expectations have been raised by this team and the performances of some of the players. Unfortunately TM also needs to learn , to make the substitutions at the right time and get the team to learn how to hold onto a lead , maybe by packing midfield. Also to look at players who are flagging in the last 20 minutes ( murphy)
They did run their balls off in the first half and if we had taken the chances we would be second and having really positive chat.
WE are still making the same mistakes as the last 2 seasons, unfortunately which has cost us points.PUSB bring on Burton.
Some maybe, but some are seemingly just moaning.
And you talk of our failing in the play-offs and knowing City won't perform in the play-offs cos it's City, well, as I said on another thread, this City this season is unlike past City teams. We've only been beaten once in 17 games and are unbeaten at home. This is a different City. If we make the play-offs I would say we should feel really confident of making Wembley at least.
I agree that this season is our big chance, but I still think we can do it through the play-offs if we can't make the top 2.
What I really don't get is people writing off our chances of top 2 when we're just 3 points behind first and there's still 20 games to go and 60 points to play for! To my mind that's just daft.
This Coventry City is not like the Coventry City of the past few years, cos if it was, we wouldn't be unbeaten, we wouldn't have had just 1 loss in 17 games, we wouldn't have only lost 4 games all season and we wouldn't be in 4th place. We have been in the top 6 pretty much all season long. I think it is just one single game where we dropped to 7th.
Why can't we embrace that? I don't associate this TM team with any other City team of the last 15 years, because it is not he same and I think we will be top 2 and if not, it will be the play-offs and if it is the play-offs I would be very confident of us going to Wembley and winning a place in the Championship.

Yep, agree with all of that.Thought Cole had a good 55 mins. Clearly tired then and his influence missed. However we did have a good 10min spell after he went off and should have killed the game then.
We sat too deep and too narrow towards end and a good side like Walsall were able to take advantage. I don't know why Haynes and Phillips played so narrow...either a tactic or a little nativity. Second half Walsall had a lot of time and space down the flanks and their equaliser came as a result of Phillips not preventing the ball in.

Yep he was very good.thought Murphy had the RB licked early on but he improved as wellI thought their leftback was particularly impressive. First look at him, I thought a strong wind would carry him out of the stadium.
Cole's set pieces are a big plus for us as they were pathetic before he joined us.
But the last time we were promoted we came first to another Yam Yam club ..........If we end up automatically promoted in second, people will be screaming blue murder that we didn't finish as champions.
Thought Cole was excellent first half
Why dont u reserve your judgement for the end of the season. Does it make you feel that bad when our players that u dont like prove u completely wrong?That's a problem though isn't it? We've now accepted a player who cannot last 90 minutes - he just can't - and struggles with 2 games a week.
Our points per game ratio with and without him would make interesting reading I suspect.

So results have improved?

Should be noted he hasn't played every game and I can't remember how many of the 14 he has played off top of my head , either way not a huge difference.
Should also be noted he is currently playing and has played at the club since our defensive woes started so that may impact how we have done somewhat .
That's maybe but a lot of other things are going on ie : defensive injuries.Cole is not the only factor.We have accumulated 13 points from the 8 he's been involved in. So 34 points from the 18 games without him.

Dont like to answer my questions do you,?Maybe if you tried answering one i would completely ignore the negative crap you come out with.So results have improved?
Before Cole joined 6 of my relatives died in less than a year. Since he joined there hasn't been a death in the family. Is it down to Cole or is it that you can make stats look like you want them to?
