    That's one of the worst 45 minutes we've played in a while. I don't think Coventry are even out of 2nd gear.

    By now the other night we’d missed 3 chances! That’s three more than today. This is way worse than the Preston game for me. Mayenda and Mundle only 2 who look hungry going forward. Cirkin has been absolutely awful so far.

    Poor first half but get the next goal and it's game on. Get Isidor on at half time with Mayenda and let's have a bloody go.

    I don't think we can call them easier games because they are teams low down --- and look how we struggle against them, especially at home

    That's fair enough mate, let's say 'a game of two halves' ...

    ... Stoke were 2-0 down there, last week, and got it back to 2-2.

    This isn't good but I still believe we're a better team.

    weak as piss, no zip, zap or urgency, real lack of sharpness emphasised by poor touches, poor passes and rank poor decision making.

    So slow and lethargic.

    Big half time from RLB and the coaches.

    Utter dog s hit that 45 mins. Absolutely no redeeming features from our side at all, If we don't wake up, they will score a few more

    I would have picked the same starting 11 tbf. We haven’t been in too poor form results wise but we have performance wise. Turning from poor form to the norm. That’s the concern. Rather get it out the way before the play offs like but not easy to turn around.

    2 CMs with 60% passing accuracy in this game, really poor. Add that to losing nearly every single duel. They all need a blasting at half time.

    people can say wright spun onein to easily but the root cause is Neil fannying around and loosing it so lethargic like in midfield

    absolute awful from someone whose set themselves a high standard but par for the course across the last 4 games

    How many of our players are away internationally could do with a few having the 2 weeks breather

    Worst half of the season by a mile. Haven't seen us look this poor since the back end of last season.

    Mayenda. Hold your head up high lad. Only one of the outfielders doing anything positive, would help if he had any form of support mind. Hope he lays into some of the lads at half time.

    Hope we make some changes. Watson, Aleksic, Browne and Isidor on at HT please. Don't care who goes off outside of Mayenda.

    What's frustrating is that we all know we can play so much better than that. We need to get hold of the ball and protect it better. Players need to take responsibility, stand up and take the game to Coventry. Mundle is doing the same thing that Clarke used to do and try to cut in all the time, he needs to mix it up and going down the line at times.
