After another painful to watch defeat, it has surely got to be time for a change in tactics. I'm sick of hearing about the diamond formation, mainly because we're still using it when it is blindingly obvious it doesn't work.
Adam Barton in my opinion, looks like someone who can command the midfield, especially sat next to Jennings. I really don't get why we play him on the right?! He's not the paciest and his talent is wasted out there. He's not the type who can run at players and our lack of width means that time and time again, we are attacked on the wings. I haven't seen the replay of the goal, but I'm sure it came from down that side as Jordan Clarke had tucked in, and noone tracked the spare man Crewe had on that side. He hit it back across the face of goal and that was it. Its a similar story on the other side of the pitch, with Kilbane moving inside leaving Hussey with two.
Another thing that I think every Coventry fan finds frustrating, dragging every player back for corners. It leaves us with no quick attacking outlet and gives the opposition an easy ball back into the box. Makes no sense! We should have teams scared of us, leave one or two up top and show a bit of confidence in our defence.
This is the last sort of post I wanted to make today. The performance against Brum was cracking, but once again we fall back into old habits. I find it annoying when fans turn on the players too quickly, but today I felt it was justified. I didn't expect us to walk this division, but I certainly didn't expect us to get walked over in games like this.
Get Dennis Wise in ASAP.
