    Notice a few are somehow trying to blame Bachmann for the own goal.

    Even Hoadt admitted it was all down to him !

    Bachmann saved a penalty, that would have made it a different game with us coming from behind if it had gone in. Defensively we looked a bit ragged at times, which could have been more costly. I am not sure if that was down to individuals having a bit of an off day, the system, or good play by Coventry.

    Seriously, Bachmann made some great saves to keep us in the game and at one point thought he could be MOM. The own goal was patently not his fault.

    Crass refereeing and player mistakes aside and it's 2-0 Watford.
    Never a penalty. Ever. Shocker.
    WTF was Sierralta thinking?
    Ditto Hoedt!!!
    Absolutely a foul on Porteus, but he's got to keep going there!
    Great interception by Bayo, but really what was the defender doing?

    Quality goal from Martens. Two poachers goals from Rajovic. More positives than negatives.

    The referee was a character from the Simpsons but not Bart

    Watching the Arse v Manure a Manure player fouled the Arse forward but injured himself, the ref stopped play to check if he was actually injured and then gave the free kick to the home side

    The ref at our game could not contain himself when he gave the penalty and when Porteous.was elbowed in the face he waved play on even tho the protocol is to check fopr a potential head injury, how many times have we been called back when in a good attacking position because a player from the opposition is on the floor pretending to be injured

    In the post match interview Robbins claimed they deserved at least a point because they were in control for most of the match

    The only thing Coventry were in charge of were the match officials, I know, I know we are always complaining but when are we going to get any decisions in our favour that change a game

    Rant over

    We may not have found our new Deeney, but we may have found our new Ross Jenkins and I think we should play him and Martins as a front two with Bayo replacing one of thenm for the last 10 to 20 minutes to give the opposition a different problem when they are getting tired

    All in all looking better than last year just need to not make silly mistakes at the back to give poor teams the opportunity to score

    Youuuuuuu Orrrnnnssssssss

    Yes bad penalty call

    Think Ports has a reputation for going down easily and trying to win free kicks unfortunately

    But you are right - we see games stopped for fake injuries or players try to stop it .

    Yes...he looked promising.... . and so good to have a potentially half decent number 9 in the box.

    Martins impressive
