Me too. A cb is priority

Frustrating game, we were poor but should have won - they were the poorest team ive seen all season. Don't know what was going through phillips head for the handball, blatant pen and utter madness

Couldn't believe the way we sat off them for the last 10 minutes. Football suicide letting them have possession without pressure in the last 10.

Phillips or Martin have pen away????

Dunno CWR said Martin at the time but they don't know what they are on about. Turns out it may have been a Phillips handball

Bit of trouble it seems

Seems simply to be OTT policing!

Oh no...not ANOTHER bogey team

...onwards & upwards PUSB

SlowerThanPlatt · Oct 24, 2015

Just seen the pen decision...both the foul from Martin and Phillips handball are pens

Nick · Oct 24, 2015

The handball was shocking

covcity4life · Oct 24, 2015

Yeh Martin fair play but handball is unforgivable.

We need to get someone in

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Oct 24, 2015

Shocking pen by Tudgay, carbon copy of the one he missed v Walsaa

Yep, double pen. We are really lucky we didn't lose 3-2.

Left back and right back and centre half needed urgently
Redas out and it showed.
Too defensive in the last 20 mins invited pressure on ourselves

Armstrong doesn't seem the same player lately

Yeah that is a concern, and one that was discussed by Clive and Dave Bennett after the match. Tudguy scored to say but you look around and don't see a suitable replacement for Armstrong to give him a break.

Again on paper his stats look amazing 8 goals in 12 games/ 2 every 3 games. But closer inspection.

5 in his first 3 games
3 in his last 9
Only scored in 2 of the last 9 games
Only scored in 1 of the 6 away games
Not scored in last 5 away games

His record at home is good though 6 in 6, scoring in 4 of the 6 home games he's played.

Holy shit not an outbreak of rowdiness

Who is it that thinks Reda is shit?

Astute probably backed the draw just after we went 2 up.

How about not being a dick all the time? I am in Coventry now. Put your money where your mouth is. Couple of hundred quid charity bet? I tried to get money on the draw at 0-2 but my phone was too wet to use. But I had the draw at 0-1 and got 10/1 for the draw when it was 1-2. Also had Gillingham to draw at 6/1.

Aha so underneath all the bravado you are as cynical about the Sky Blues as me

Astute · Oct 25, 2015

The one thing I didn't enjoy was what would normally be the base of our play. Yesterday was not the kind of weather to play around your own area. Mistakes were happening and players were slipping on the surface. And it ended up that two mistakes in the last 5 minutes cost us the win.

Was pissed off at the time with not getting the win. But the weather made it a more level game. If we can keep this unbeaten run going we will be in a good place at the end of the season. The sides that get promoted are normally those with the least defeats and not always those who win the most games.

I watch and love my club with my heart. I bet with my head. Take big odds on things that can happen. Yesterday I had 5 inplay bets. 4 came in. Shortest odds 21/5. But I would easily have preferred the 3 points.

A win would have surprised me yesterday so I was really gutted that we threw it away

Aaron Phililps has given quite a few penalties away ! Normally a sign of panic

skybluebeduff · Oct 25, 2015

Only need to win the next 2 games and all this will be forgotten and looked back on without a care.

And the good thing is that all the teams around us are dropping points unexpectedly so although we are not winning lots we are still up there with the draws.

you're right, we started the season with an air of confidence about our play but over the last couple of weeks the confidence seems to be sliding away. We need to get back on it and fast and try to ensure that this is just a minor thing. i know thare are a few areas of the pitch where we could strenthen but for me it would be a striker at the mo. There is a growing weight and pressure on young armstrongs shoulders to score, We need to get him back playing with the freedom he had a month or so ago.

I agree. Looked like he wernt expecting ball to bounce. Didn't set himself right

From watching highlights looks like draw fair result. We did some good stuff a d looked like jon played well

4 pts from.next 2 homes games and we will be right in auto mix at start of November.

never a penalty, still martin no need to do that

I thought it looked stonewall tbf, foul by Martin and handball by Phillips

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Oct 25, 2015

Martin also got massively done for the first goal buying the dummy, poor from him.

As did Ricketts. Martin dived one way, Ricketts the other.

As good as Martin has been we need to remmeber he's 2nd choice to ricketts and reda.

Give him a chance to continue improving sure but I'm sure mogga will be looking at cbs availability on market too. Either as replacement or his partner.

Well no because he moved Ricketts to right back and Martin as centre half - and since his introduction goals against have significantly decreased.
