    It's too slow. Need to up the tempo.

    Is the problem our lack of the clinical finish?
    I sometimes feel that our patient domination would feel better if it was 1-0 rather than 0-0

    We have tried a bit more variety tonight and been decent. Coventry are very compact we need more width second half.

    Think we started with good tempo. Just got more slow as the half went on. We can win this if we up the tempo again

    This, we need to get in behind them a lot more.

    First half hour was fine. Last 15 was far too pedestrian. THB is having 4 or 5 touches before moving the ball on. Why? One touch, pass. It's basic stuff.

    This sounds more positive than the ‘too slow’ posts

    We were huffing and puffing. Didn't blow the house down. Then ran out of puff! Frustrating.

    I saw the last 15 which looked familiar.

    Works if it draws them to him and he can bypass their press, not if they’re keeping a low block

    Our system allows teams the time to be compact. We take so long to build an attack that 99% of the time the opposition is able to get defensively organised and we then struggle to break them down.

    Give it 10/15 minutes and if no change give Fraser a run down the left and Charly through the middle. Nobody in midfield is turning with the ball and running it.

    They're not really pressing though. Hence why our CBs have so much time on the ball. Slows the whole game up and it becomes a 0-0 type affair, unless we get a bit of luck or KWP comes to the rescue for us.

    Need Fraser or Edozie on the left, Aribo not really doing much and when. He does it’s too slow
    Need a bit of pace to break this lot down

    75% possession. sounds like domination, but looks like boring, please wake me up if we score?

    Charles has been a bit sloppy, and is on a yellow (right?). Move Aribo back and bring Charly on.

    Sounds like we need to get some pace up front and go long occasionally to disrupt them. Edozie/Fraser?
