    I agree mate, that was a poor goal let in early on but sometimes shìt like that happens, we were the away team against probably the top side in the division along with us. and that goal apart it could of gone either way or at least a draw.
    It's getting tense now and the players need to brush it off and pick themselves back up.
    Still all to play for.

    There was a moment half way through second half when I just thought ‘**** me this is awful’.

    Not us, both, the standard of this league really is truly shocking.

    Today I had no real gripes we battled away was a very close run thing, agree that we need to swap it around a bit though.

    Not a season defining result for me, still lots of points to play for with teams in contention having to play each other.
    Mind we can’t afford many more brain fart moments early on in games like the two that have meant we’ve conceded early on twice this week.

    A pretty even game in my opinion. Could/Should have had a point but hey we didn’t. We have to cut out the silly mistakes and somehow have to create more. My big worry is that we aren’t scoring many goals away from home and as soon as we go a goal behind the best we are looking at is a draw. I also think Bailey Wright has been a massive loss. No coincidence that the clean sheets have dried up. Just don’t look quite as solid at the back without him. Still plenty of points to play for and lots of twists and turns yet but with 3 of the next 4 away we need to start scoring more goals away from home.

    Not panicking, but am a bit concerned about two things.

    1. Teams have sussed how to play against us but Parkie seems wedded to the the same way of playing and with the same starting players - unless forced to change due to injury, etc, yet even then it is fit someone in to the same system.

    2. Parkie seems to leave substitutions far too late then even if he changes things about, the players seem to be totally unfamiliar with the change.

    It sure seemed like the Coventry backline had drilled a bit and focused on playing Denver Hume offside.

    Or identifying Denver Hume is a bit weak

    (Just so you know... 3 doesn’t go into 32!!!) 30 points though which is still a good amount

    Getting caught out like that twice (as did Gucchi) is quite embarrassing when you're looking right across the line. Hopefully experience will teach him.
