The ref was ****ing useless.
My throat feels raw after yelling at the **** for the best part of an hour.

The thing that frustrates me is that they clearly don’t communicate efficiently with their colleagues/ linesmen/ assistant refs. It is a difficult job, especially now their better colleagues have VAR.
At Norwich, had the ref and assistant had a meaningful chat when 35,000 fans were already celebrating a win, they could only have concluded there were numerous reasons to disallow the goal, and cost us a point.
When it all kicked off tonight, why did the ref clearly not want to listen to the assistant ref/linesman who was trying to tell him what he’d seen, despite the ref having his back to the play.
Anyone can make mistakes, so use your team.

I got up at 1.30 am to watch the game, I was in Saigon for the weekend so in a hotel. Only to find out the hotel was changing the system that night, so no internet until the morning, so only found out the result after breakfast. Sounds like an okay game which we could have won, will watch the full game once it is up and see for myself. Nevertheless, a point against Coventry is not a bad point, I would say.
I made comparisons with the Leicester game too (in my head).
As for the ref - his biggest mistake for me, was not booking that player who he had called over to have a word. He lost it from then onwards.
Coventry were excellent at tactical fouling though.
Let’s hope we get a firm ref against Dirty Leeds.
It wasn't shown on TV. The production was a shambles.
On several occasions the commentary was describing action (eg. Us playing recklessly out from the back), whilst the picture showed a replay or a filler shot of part of the crowd or one of the benches.
The goal in the Leicester game was completed missed because of this poor production.
Needs a massive improvement.
He was talking to the linesman throughout, but via their headset.
I agree that Wright looked poor for them, and at times disinterested - just like when I’ve seen him on TV playing for USA. Another bullet dodged.
Don't wanna talk too early...(but I am)...
I hope we have some clause to tie A A Ron down at the end of the season. He is looking a real player. Could easily get 20+ this season if he stays fit.

I pointed out to my mate at the game that several of their players went down in the second half with cramp yet none of ours did. At the time I put it down to the fact that they'd put in 100% effort and we'd barely got out of 2nd gear, but maybe it was more down to the 'Rosenior ball' style as you say.
A few thoughts...
Lokilo for Twine in the next game. I like his commitment and think he has some quality. It would also be great to see two proper wingers on the pitch.
Delap needs to play central, it was glaring how much he was missed in the first half.
Rosenior showed his nous again tonight. The way we managed to peg them back with the numerous tactical tweaks was massively impressive.

Twatted Delap

The initial contact when Delap broke through their defence was last man too, they tried to take him out with a nudge but it was too weak and failed, so then hacked him down but other defenders had got further back as Delap’s stride got broken by the first contact.
That would have been a red I’m sure with VAR?

Frustrating night but still ticking over nicely..
One dodgy defeat in 6 and two away wins already…
Bring it on…
Allam’s GONE.

Cov fans said we had no answer to ‘Twist and Shout’ do we need a high temp bouncy song - didn’t we do Quo ‘ rocking all over the world ‘ I’m not suggesting it but our songs sound like dirges . The young uns don’t listen to anything memorable and bouncy do they ?
just asking - oh no! I’ve sobered up too!

Thought we played some great football at times.
Seri, Philogene and Delap were class. Don't get why Seri was taken off so early (I know he's been on international duty but he's hardly played); he was running the show for us. We didn't get the ball to Delap enough (familiar story).
I wouldn't say Coverntry were particularly dirty. They were strong and well organised, and just did what most teams do nowadays. The problem for the ref first half was that it wasn't the same player making fouls repeatedly, so not so easy to book someone as the tally increases.
Frustrating as we should have won it. We were the better side, especially as the game wore on. But sort of get where Steverico seems to be coming from, we somehow need to be more positive, more '**** you', as well as much more clinical. Hopefully that comes in time now Rosenior has his players, but, based on evidence to date, I'm not sure attacking play is his forte. TWT.
All good if we beat Leeds next week.

Particularly the one who deliberately stood on Twine's calf as he stood up, should have been a red but didn't even get a yellow.
Twine really doesn't help though with his over the top dramatic theatrical reactions and his diving, it's horrible to see from any player let alone your own
