Match Thread Wrexham AFC - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 31st Oct (50 Viewers)

[Major Tom]

That's the only reason I put it on.

I'll wait for the video tomorrow.

The dust would have settled a clear head and enjoy Saturday still top of the league

After a loss it’s all wankers who think we’re shite despite being top of the league.

I like those people, they’re OUR people! Even the ones who want to sell Haji Wright in January!

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Disappointed to lose unbeaten run. Woolfendon was poor and needs tocbe better

Was impressed with KKH and saka though

What kiefer Moore does for them is something both Wright and Simms do not offer us

They deserved it overall. There not a bad side and the over confidence from some posters was ridiculous

Onto next one. Really important we win at least one of the final 2 games before international break

Impressed with KKH? I wasn't. Too lightweight and tentative. Woolf sucked and so did Bidwell

 

[SkyBlueChris]

Christ just heard kitching suspended next game now

Yea good shout he got booked and was on 4 before the game...


Gotta hope Thomas is back and Woolfy settles down!

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

Frank’s interview was odd: said he could “smell it” coming at half time, yet didn’t change anything until Wrexham had scored two and we were on the back foot?

I totally get that we can’t / shouldn’t overreact, but he HAS to own that the set up, line up, and lack of changes is on him. Not some players having an ‘off night’. When you’re getting overrun in midfield and out wide, players ‘stepping up’ isn’t going to change anything!!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wright is really really missing Rudoni and Torp behind him. BTA and EMC focus too much on themselves IMO Allen/Eccles haven’t got that ability to thread a ball through.

Yep

 

[Jimmy87]

Don’t think you can book for stopping an attack if you play on.

I honestly never knew that. Thought i'd seen players booked before after a phase of play has continued. I stand corrected. Annoying though as he would've walked for it.

 

[Russell Slade]

Need wright out of this club his attitude is a disgrace.

I know you’re on the wind up but it really is a little sad. Go have some sex or something

 

[Jamesimus]

Back 2 next game with Simms, Wright, BTA, Sakamoto and EMC up top.

 

[shmmeee]

Christ just heard kitching suspended next game now

Dont think he is. I don’t think the one in the cup counts.

 

[Nick]

Because hearing the funny people on the phone in takes the sting of a painful loss away?

It's not even the people ringing in

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Lampard:

We dropped by 5-10% and we lost.

We never had control of the game.

Thomas has a small issue might be back on Tuesday. JDS was really sick after Watford. 3 changes at the back is a lot.

 

[David O'Day]

I didn’t read that thread and never will.

Clear you two don’t get on so personally I’d be using the block function!

yeah but it's like watching a car crash when they post

 

[shmmeee]

Think it depends what the yellow is for but if it’s for stopping an attack or whatever the offence is then play on basically counteracts it. @Adge or @Sky Blue Pete would know.

 

[covcity4life]

To think @fatso said rudoni doesn't come straight back in

 

[TomRad85]

Wright is really really missing Rudoni and Torp behind him. BTA and EMC focus too much on themselves IMO Allen/Eccles haven’t got that ability to thread a ball through.

I think you're right. Wright is back to looking like the shite end of last season Wright but I don't think it's entirely on him. He needs those intelligent players behind him to thrive.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

yeah but it's like watching a car crash when they post

You really lack such self awareness its hilarious.

 

[Dougin]

I know you’re on the wind up but it really is a little sad. Go have some sex or something

I’m genuinely serious, I had sex this afternoon.

 

[lord_garrincha]

It's not even the people ringing in

Has Bore-na saw a picture of Ryan Reynolds and not shut up about it for over 10 minutes???

 

[Nick]

It's going to be sheff uniteds Wembley as well.

Can we cancel the enemy?

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Whilst BTA & EMC have been playing well this season. They do tend to hold onto the ball too long and deny Wright the opportunity of a through ball. BTA seldom looks up to pass it quickly.
However, that wasn't the reason we lost tonight. I think being outnumbered in midfield and very poor defending was the main factor

LEGEND

 

[Major Tom]

Impressed with KKH? I wasn't. Too lightweight and tentative. Woolf sucked and so did Bidwell

ithink he was playing in two minds defend or support Saka up front. Whe the midfield is struggling we can be exposed at the back like we were tonight.

 

[Jarvo87]

Not bedwetting but that performance has been coming in my view, and hopefully we'll look back on it as a reality check, stop believing the hype, and see us putting in the hard yards and push on.

Watford was an at best average performance, tonight was definitely well below average. Even the HT scoreline flattered us.

Nobody came out of that with any credit, including FL. Defensively we were absolutely shambolic, any midfield with Jamie Allen starting in a 2 is not going to win the league, first touch and awareness from both EMC and BTA throughout was non existent, and Wright, well, I'll just describe as 'disappointing'.

Subs made too late. Decisions didn't go our way, and officials were poor but the players and coaches have to look at themselves after that. The only way to right it is with a much improved performance on Tuesday.

Saka MoM with a 6/10. Probably sums it up.

 

[pusbccfc]

Gurney interview was embarrassing

 

[djr8369]

It was coming, rode our luck a bit the last few games. Now to see what we are made of. Tuesday will be tough, they will smell blood and we’ll still have players coming back.

6/10??

Fucking hell tough crowd.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I said people wouldn’t cope if we lost a game, it’s happened and they haven’t.

 

[CCFCSteve]

If anyone had said we’d win six and lose one with Rudoni out, scoring a shed load in the process, we’d all have said no chance, so let’s have a bit of perspective.

We’ve had an unbelievable start to the season

 

[The Philosopher]

I can't believe I'm seeing Allen starting for us in 2025. He's so limited.

Would rather Andrews start tbh. Allen just not up to it. Fed up with seeing him pass backwards when in an attacking position.

Yes, ok, couple of ok passes but in the whole is a reminder of the team 3 years ago.

2 stellar players (Gyok, Gus) totally hampered by having to play with second rate players like Allen.

 

[Shannerz]

BTA seldom looks up to pass it quickly.

This is the issue with BTA; he's a good player, but his decision making is often very poor.

I'm still not entirely convinced by EMC either.

 

[Paxman II]

When I saw the team sheet I wanted to change my previous prediction. Forced changes are one thing but it just lacked all the balance we had previously. They stiffled us with 5 in midfield, and we had no get out with Torp off the field. It was always going to be a gun ho performance from Wrexham and we failed to react to it with some poor defensive mistakes. Wolfenden looks ponderous to me, and got done all too easily by Keifer-Moore.
Still small margins and how it would have looked if that 3rd goal didn't go in. We were wide open, poor at the back. Bidders way off it, Wolfenden lacks match sharpness and Milan missing added up to a bad night for us and as i said, when i saw the team sheet its the result I almost expected.
Now the heat is on for Tuesday against a side improving, and looking for our scalp. This is a testing week. We need our best players back on the pitch.

 

[Jamesimus]

I said people wouldn’t cope if we lost a game, it’s happened and they haven’t.

I am comforting myself by remembering at least three quarters of our fans aren’t American.

be very different if we'd just signed hudlin

 

[Jarvo87]

Fucking hell tough crowd.

Yeah probably was a bit harsh tbh. although Given the rest of them were 3's, 4's and 5's, a 6 was a relatively high mark!!

He was head and shoulders above anyone else in sky blue...
