Anyone at the game how did Wilson play? Sounded like he made an impact going from radio commentary
Ive said this a number of times of late - there is too much pressure on Clarke and Baker to score. We need more threat from the left. McSheffrey is finished and gives us nothing. We should desperately try and get a loan in to boost us here.
Well said, Juggy
After all that bemoaning of missed chances, i was distracted and missed our first and just caught King Leon () putting the second away!
Two little two late though (see what I did there)
Another story of missed chances costing us which is a worry!
Agree - we've gone from relying on Mcgoldrick and baker for goals to relying on Clarke and baker.Ive said this a number of times of late - there is too much pressure on Clarke and Baker to score.We need more threat from the left.

I agree. Macca just hasn't offered any scoring options this season and doesn't look like he will.
But loans are probably out of our remit because of ACL freezing our accounts!
And yet for 180 minutes we were losing te tie 3-0.
Nothing to do with the quality of Crewe? They had less shots and scored more goals - they were better and more economical at finishing.
Is it time to give fleck a run on the left?
We gift wrapped them the tie in those 10 minutes, any half decent side would have scored a couple of goals in those last 10 at the Ricoh, they didn't have to play good to score their goals. Fair play to them but we shot ourselves in the foot
I dunno on that one I'm afraid.
He seems like a pocket player or down the middle player.
Moussa has played on the left before but from what I remember he is again better coming down the middle.
Could give him a go! I really can't understand why Macca is still playing. He needs to be dropped to the bench for a few games until he sorts himself out!
He's good at making runs but he thinks too much of himself and not of the players around him!
We carried Sheff tonight. Was nothing but a passenger. Hopefully Carsley can see past the 'cov kid' status and drop him. Fleck would offer more than he does although im not ken on Fleck playing on te left so maybe it would be more suited to Moussa.
I missed that, wat did he say?

It'd have to be a gentle jog or a saunter, not a run...and I'm a fan! Our best passer of the ball IMO, but is a liability in all other aspects of his play. We do have to get more out of him, but I fear an Eastwood-type situation.
Caught the tail end of the interview on Radio Stoke with the Crewe manager who quoted "I think that we controlled the game and overall deserved to go through. The Coventry players and staff complimented us and said Crewe deserved to go through also."
Well they do say that football is a game of opinions or..... 'lies'! Let's hope for karma on saturday.
Problem is he's looked poor playing this position in the 4231 behind a lone striker, he hasn't got the right mobility or inclination to make runs in behind Clarke and become the second striker. He may be ok in the diamond behind 2 strikers.I think I said when Fleck first signed that his best position would be an attacking midfield/playmaker role behind the striker(s). His game at Rangers was all about that (and this in a team carrying Kris Boyd up front), and it's where he'd do the most damage. He still has good technical ability-but his fitness has long been shoddy, even by SPL standards.

He has looked best as the deepest midfielder when he is given time and space like in the first half vs Shrewsbury at home. But that position also has its pitfalls....
How much 'trouble' was there by the way SW?
I'd like their manager here. Really impressed me.

He lost his cov kid status when he went to blues. The cov kid left in him is the coke he once snorted uo his nose
