1. I am not denying they are whoring tickets or anything else sponsored by your employer.

2 you are the one that needs to grow up about players on a match thread. Who the fuck do you like in a Coventry shirt?

A point away is a good point.

4 points from 2 away games isn’t bad. We really need to follow it up with a win on Saturday though.

I hope they slapped nazon with a very big fine for that celebration. Should have been out there tonight and instead we're bringing on vincenti who has clearly lost his way.

Vincenti would have been better coming on for Kelly, rather than replacing Jones.

Can’t wait for he day we get
Ponti through the middle flanked by the Duck and Jones. With McNulty ready to come on for anyone one of the three who isn’t at their game.
That’s was not enjoyable tonight. Apart from Mcnulty’s pass to Shipley for the volley.
Ponti should have been in the moment they equalised.
Sorry but Vince needs to be moved on in January if he is on a decent wage.

Yer agreed but what I'm saying is he should have been on that pitch and instead we're relying on maycock and vincenti when we've lost two huge players. Take duck Kelly and jones out and we're bang average up top. And duck should have been playing if he wasn't so stupid to get booked for scoring

4 points from 2 away games or a point tonight with 2 key players going off injured. Either way you look at it thats decent.

Hopefully the injuries aren't as bad as they looked, if they are it will be down to Robins to come up with a plan B.

Worry that a lot of us want something more creative than what the Doyle/Kelly combo gives us.
Yet look at us when they were split up?

I still think the answer lies with the attacking players

Yes, because Kelly was playing much more advanced before he got injured.

I just hope Robins doesn't try and shoehorn our fit players into that system. It only worked because of Jones and Kelly.

For me he has to go either a 4-3-3:

******Burge********
Willis Davies McDonald Haynes
** Vincenti Doyle Shipley**
McNulty Biamou Duck

Or a 3-5-2:

**********Burge***********
****Willis Davies McDonald****
Grimmer ************ Haynes
******Doyle*******
****Vincenti***Shipley****
**** Biamou Duck or McNulty****

And neither fill me with much excitement with no Andreu, Kelly or Jones in there.

Not a very good game for us. Shipley has a poor game. Maycock struggled when introduced. Willis looked suspect early on. Gutted to lose Kelly and Jones to injury. Vincenti offered little when he came on. Shame Biamou’s goal didn’t stand. A 2 goal lead would have changed everything. Poor goal to concede but it was always coming.

Roll on Saturday which is now must win, more so than it was before tonight

Ponticelli would never ever see the ball again if flanked by Duck and Jones.

In the end 4 points from 2 away games is always acceptable

What will not be is if we fail to win st home again. We can’t keep failing to break down mediocre teams at home so a big game coming up

His own fault for not being top scorer. Shipley got a dose tonight.

Are you Ponti’s dad Dongo? You don’t half go on about him more than everyone else. Not a dig, just noticed you’re always banging the drum for him more than everyone else.

All round, he is just absolutely dreadful. The myth that he is some sort of wizard going forward has been fully extinguished over the past 2 games. Time for Stokes back from Saturday indefinitely!

If another manager walked into the club tomorrow and seen vincenti he would either never play for the club again or would have a new back room staff pissing themselves laughing on how on earth he earned a living in football and how he was signed in the first place.

By far the worst player I have ever seen in a city shirt and there’s been some shit.

Sounded that way. Good job Nazon is back for Saturday. Hoping Jones is fit asap )may be a small mercy that there is a break from the league after Crawley to clear up injuries. Maybe Stevenson in if Kelly out?

Robins

Should and could have won
Got stretched
Ended up out of position which gave them space and possession
We dropped too deep
Young players on the pitch
Ended up out of shape when they scored
Following was amazing on a Tuesday night
Disappointing to concede
Some good things come from it, some not so good things come from it...(Obviously meaning injuries, but was ignored by the interviewer)
Make sure we win at home
He then gets asked "Are you disappointed about the equaliser"
Liam Kelly recurrence of Sore Foot
Jones, they dont know about his injury and gone to hospital for an X Ray and Robins has no idea at all.
If we cant win then get a draw, just dont lose
Take second best option
Room for improvement
Team at the end on the pitch was pleased to not lose
McNulty outstanding to pass to Shipley and usually would be a goal
Shipley not as outstanding as Saturday
Decent performances
Just disappointed as did enough in first half to be in front.

Robins

Was it a fair result? Got to take it

Game we could and should have won

Got stretched and got caught out of position allowing them possession

Young players on the pitch just so happened we’ve ended up out of shape

Runner wasn’t tracked

Thought we created really good openings

Looking for the clinical bit

Amazing following for a Tuesday night ‘down ere’

Became a little bit tired

Visible tiredness from some players

Tough game lots of energy required

Got to look at Saturday

Disappointed at not just equaliser but how we didn’t kill it off

They’ve not been beaten here on a Tuesday night

Want to get onto Saturday

Kelly - recurrence of a sore foot he’s been carrying

Jodi - don’t know yet. Gone to hospital for x Ray

Four points in a few days is good.

If you can’t win, get a draw

Definitely room for improvement

Team we ended up with in pleased to get a draw with

McNulty turn and pass to Shipley was outstanding

Shipley was outstanding Saturday but not tonight

Some decent performances

Thought we’d done enough first half

Maycock shows a bit of nativity and has hesitancy in his play but is a young player. His game is to break things up

If another manager walked into this club tomorrow he would ask why the fuck this guy has been asked to play glued to the right touchline while a keeper who can't kick for shit has mis-fired balls at his head all game. Needs a run of games more central to prove his worth.

What a very stupidly dumb question to ask. When would you ever not be disappointed with an equaliser?

Guessing he meant 'are you disappointed with how their equaliser came about?' but that's not what he asked is it!
