Match Day Thread Coventry City FC v Sunderland AFC – Saturday 15th March 2025 - KO 15:00

Our hunger, drive and positivity that we had in spades in the early stages of the season has vanished. I’ve been concerned by our performances for the last couple of weeks. Yes the playoffs are looking likely but our performances leading into them needs to drastically improve. I don’t normally like international breaks but I think it’s needed for us to regroup and to take a look at ourselves. We’ve been consistently near the top of the league all season but we’re not playing like a top team - far from it

 

That's my issue so far. It's flat as a far, again. But what's worse is that individuals are not going into the tackle with aggression. Just getting blasted out everywhere.

 

Your right

we’ve got nowt through the middle in the pocket

desperate for someone in there between midfield and mayenda

 

Thing is.

get this out of the way and international break, we have easier games. We all knew this was the one game we would lose. Sadly

annoyingly.

that being said

get the next goal and then there is something in this

 

they have

but look how poor we’ve been

emphasised by how **** we’ve been with the ball. Bad touches and passes everywhere, was the same the other night, it isn’t good enough. That’s real sloppiness.

 

So far poor - energy levels of a dead battery. RLB will rocket them, I'm sure. KTF

 

Awful this. Could end up a cricket score here

 

People can talk about tactics and team selections all they want, myself included, but when you are losing 95% of individual battles across the pitch it's a completely moot discussion.

Not sure the midfield or defence have won a tackle yet.

 

****ing hell, the amount of times we give the ball straight back here!

 

That’s hard to believe to be honest, probably 10 games ago I said maybe he should give them a kick up the arse instead of making excuses.

 

Fair enough mate, I’ll give up.

 

Cirkin got away with murder there.

 

Never a foul on Cirkin that one mind!! Very lucky boy. Having a poor game

 

Cirkin taking a risk there

 

I haven't give up yet, wouldn't expect you to either but it's not looking good.

 

Sorry, but that little shove by onien has been done it mayenda 3 or 4 times and we haven’t got a foul for it. Why is it a foul for them?

 

Poor choice to throw it to Neil from Cirkins throw in and then Neil lost the ball so easy (hes been poor all game). We couldnt handle Wright at the sol before he went off injured and hes torturing us again. Really worrying this game. Lets see what RLB is made of for this second half.

 

Well surely we can’t be any worse second half, get an early goal then who knows

 

We are third best all over the pitch. We have to play better in the second half if we are to get anything from this game.

 

Absolutely embarrassing first half. Weak and bottled challenges FFS. All need an absolute rocket.
