    So getting a two goal lead helps, huh?

    Ok, Saw the game out well.

    No pissing about at the back in the last few mins and a lot of longer balls.

    Also brought on Charles and Rothwell to see it out.

    Credit to Shea Charles there. Gave us some control back in midfield when we needed it. Who knew?

    Wins a win but to be a miserable bastard about it that second half was still nowhere near good enough for where we need to be.

    Double phew!! As I predicted a Coventry win, I’ll take that, with a slice of humble pie.

    Good win. Good first half. Typical goal conceded from narrow fullbacks. At least we played most players in their position. Why do we look so knackered in games at the moment - did we feed them cement during the three week break?!

    You know what? That was atrocious in game management from Martin AGAIN. Mara for Adam is a complete waste of a sub in close games. Charles and Stu should have come on around 60 mins just when Coventry were getting hold of the game. But he brings Mara on before them. It's utterly bemusing and we got away with it by the skin of our teeth tonight. Bloody awful from Martin and he needs to stop being so predictable with his subs. He needs to wise up before the play offs.

    We are nearly mathematically in the playoffs. Cov can catch us if we lose every game and they win every game and the GD swings.

    I'm still cross he waited so long to bring him on. The game needed him much earlier.

    Yeah he last played in that 2-0 win away to West Brom a couple of months ago, which was a very good performance. For me that seems like a long time ago!
