    I’m surprised it’s taken this long for us to get a pasting like this. Been a good season for that.

    International break at just the right time

    ages until playoffs. Form now not that important. Need to be buzzing after the break.

    We've definitely rode our luck. Unfortunately teams around us are hitting form.

    I really hate being harsh on these lads, most of the time this season we’ve gone down fighting

    there is no fight in them today and it’s pathetic

    Just as well we haven’t got a bogey team.

    Here’s my honest take

    exuberance, lack of expectations and opponents not knowing what to expect carried us until November

    we kept things ticking over through the winter period despite not playing great and having key injuries.

    we’ve lost the Leeds game which arguably defined our run in and since then completely fallen off a cliff.

    not just results wise, but performances both as a team and individuals. Personified by bad touches, sequential errors and negative tactics, compounded by lack of transfer window activity and ultimately poor signings. Poveda, samed, aleksic et al may as well not have signed.

    with arguably only enzo to add back into this current crop it’s back to being a massive ask in the playoffs and those aren’t secured playing like this. Need a long hard look at themselves to make sure the good work early days isn’t squandered during the run in.

    Exactly.

    need to use the break to regroup and refocus

    I'm no manager, wouldn't want to be. I really don't know how we turn this around.

    It has been. Preston could've and should've been 2/3 infront, Cardiff were the better side for long stretches, not great against Sheff Wed, Hull were the better side. We haven't played since the first half against Leeds.

    Quite concerned about play off chances. We look so off performance wise. Wilson, and today Jobe, look so uninterested. Since Dodds left, after today w 3 d 2 l 3 if i'm right. No swagger in our football, like earlier in the season, it's dour and hard to watch. I assumed Jobe was been nice to prevent an extra suspension, but no improvement today, suggests he has transfer in mind, and has no reason to get injured

    A one to forget for me.

    Far too many of them not even up for it.

    I knew it was going to be a tough game, but not this bad.

    Coventry has simply been the better team today.

    Unfortunately have to agree this has been coming We just allow teams to play been weak all over the pitch But the lack of effort and urgency is poor.

    Our performances are extremely predictable now.

    not calling for his head I’m not stupid, but I’m having more concerns about RLB than I used to, he needs to learn fast

    Wow Roberts has actually been taken off. Won't even need to wash his kit or have a shower mind. 78 minutes of nothingness, as per.
