He probably would have been closer to his man.

They hit the bar, went just wide and then the goal mouth scramble. A goal was coming for them.
Re-read my post, it explicitly says they finished the final 20m well. Besides that, we limited them to mostly nothing long range chances. They fed off our mistakes.
That winning goal was superb finish, right in the corner, 8/10 times a L1 RB misses that.
Youre being apocalyptic about this game, it really wasn’t that bad. Going forward, we could’ve scored 1-2 more than we did. This said, we gifted them two goals. Thompson seemed to obstruct the GK for the first and his header for second was poor. He is a good defender, but it’s pretty clear that he is not a fullback and if Sterling or Grimmer is fit, they should start.
No, that's Philosoraptor.
What's a shirter?You are such a shirter
What was he wondering about?Thompson was lucky they hit the bar when he went wondering as well.
I’m with you. The F..A. Cup used to be like christmas but means F A the last few yearsConfession time, i haven't given todays game much attention, maybe it's my age but i can't really get excited about the f.a cup until round 3. Disappointing to go out but the league has priority, back to the league next week, 3 points and today will be forgotten.

Even through the whole match, we didn't really test their keeper. Thomas goal should have really been saved.
In the first half we probably could have scored more if people had shot rather than doing some weird heavy touch to lose it which looked to be the new trend.
They didn’t test Burge in the first half. We gifted them two goals, which is criminal. Our first was a gift too. Shipley, JCH and Hiwula all had decent chances and the latter, as well as Thomas were guilty of trying to take too many touches in good positions.
We had 7 corners to 1, more shots on target (they had more shots overall but some of them were v wild). We generally created the better chances with the exception of the last 20 minutes. Our defending let us down unfortunately.
Remember, despite being in bad form, Walsall are still 11th in the league and are no mugs.
Both our goals were gifts to be fair.
It was a gift, the keeper should have done so much better with it. If it was our keeper we would be annoyed.Thomas' goal wasn't a gift at all and whilst his shot was not powerful, was well placed. The BBC description of it as 'excellent' is probably giving it too much credit, you're certainly doing a disservice to Thomas. Having read a report from a Walsall source, they don't seem to think it was a 'gift' as you do.
With all due respect, you're being emotional in your analysis. Having read Robins' post-match comments, he's given a fair assessment of proceedings. We had 3 good chances before they went 1-0 up and we really did gift them that 2-0 lead. You simply can't do that and expect to win games, one goal is bad enough. Today, you couldn't fault our attacking, we scored 2 and really should've scored more. Our defending was the issue and our substitutions, whilst positive and the right decisions, didn't have the desired effect going into the last 20.
We shouldn't be angry at this performance, it was an entertaining game, we came back to level it and unfortunately, we've lost it to a worthy winner. If it was a league game we probably would've settled for a draw which would be a good result given the circumstances. It's doubtful that either team wanted a replay.

I'm just being honest. We took our most threatening players off, did our best to give them a win.
You could fault our attacking, we had an awful touch and if we had shot we would have scored more. Shipley put a good chance wide, jch had a heavy touch for another one.
From a player safety point of view you could have understood it then.Just reading the bbc match report-
Was it really that bad? “Abandon”
“
Walsall survived a Coventry fightback to triumph 3-2 in a pulsating FA Cup derby marred by a pitch invasion and bottle-throwing incident.
Referee Thomas Bramall threatened to abandon the game after Coventry fans invaded the pitch and a bottle was thrown following Luke Thomas' superb equaliser for the Sky Blues.”

Think there was more people on thereWas it MK Dons at the Hockey stadium level of invasion!?
Who the fuck is cody Jones? Somebody tell him on cwr
That's understandable. To get it double wrong is unforgivable. It's throwing McDonald into the mix tooMy dad calls Jones 'Cobi Jones'.
I say how it is every game whether good or bad. Thompson was shocking sadly.
The changes were completely wrong, they did up their game as they wanted to win and it showed. We didn't want it enough and took off our biggest threat and left Shipley on.
Jones for Thomas killed any threat we had, we then resorted to long balls to jch who had nobody close to him.
'Colours?'Someone on here, I can’t remeber his name, thought he was a right old football hooligan and taught us all that a shirter is someone who doesn’t pop stone island clobber on ready for a man cuddle and wears ‘colours’ to the game.
Is it allowed to vape in grounds now too?Usually when I go to games i seem to find myself surrounded by the worst of our fans. Was a nice surprise to be in with a good crowd today but so disappointed by the antics of those on the pitch at 2-2. Frankly it’s absolutely embarrassing. Getting on the pitch to draw level with walsall in the first round of the FA Cup. I’d be taking the piss out of any of my mates’ teams if they did that. Another Neanderthal decided to react aggressively to a pleasant enough chap who pointed out the toilets weren’t for smoking and there were plenty of young kids in there. I know when you take that many fans anywhere there are going to be a handful of cretins, but there were far too many on the pitch today

You just did! I don't give a toss what people tell me I can't say anymore....I thought it meant shirt lifter, but you can't say that any more.
