We deserved a point for the 2nd half performance.Coventry were pretty well organised and look a dangerous outfit to be fair.. UTT.
Aaron got the goal but I maintain, if Oscar was on the pitch we’d have won that. Are Coventry managed by Tony Pulis? They can spend tens of millions, their antiqued brand of football will take them nowhere.
We made that far harder than it needed to be. Coventry will feel hard done by, but a point is a point and we move on. I think the main frustration is that we're capable of moving the ball so much quicker and we didn't. We'd go wide, the winger would be double marked and have nowhere to go. The players who drive us forward, Slater, Delap etc didn't get on the ball anywhere near enough and when they did, they were forced backwards because we didn't have that confidence to up the tempo. We played like an away team, a bit more bravery and nous and we could have won that. We're missing Tufan, no doubt. Harsh on Twine but I need to see more from him, good enough on the ball but Coventry's corner for the goal came from them walking through our midfield. As soon as we stopped pressing, they got a grip on the game. Leeds are gonna come at us the exact same, we need a way to break teams down.
Proud of that second half performance. I think we have learned a lot from tonight. Delap needs to be central from minute one. Philogene must start. What a player. Morton looks decent. I’m not sure about Twine. Maybe he just had one of those days. His lack of pace lets him down also. Tufan would have been on the scoresheet today in those positions. Greaves and Jones were excellent. Pleased to have got something as we definitely deserved it.
Fair result really but, how can we be so crap at actually scoring? We do everything else well except for that last bit, always been our problem. On the upside though Philogene looks class, Christie looks more like the one we remember and Morton did nothing wrong. Twine needs a goal or something, he's been a bit disappointing so far.
Re Twine I continue to be disappointed. His set pieces were woeful. We need Tufan back. Thought Philogene was dangerous and Morton promising.
