    Seen the reply of their 1st goal, either one of the two tackles before they scored, could/should have been given as fouls!

    After the second "tackle" you saw the Coventry player stop as if he was expected the referee's whistle and then realised it didn't come and played the ball

    Talking of replays, what a great goal by Amad. The keeper had no chance.

    I think Bennette did very well to dig out the deep cross that led to the goal (with his left foot). Impressive cameo from the lad.

    You're totally right....after what we've seen this season so far,anyone who gives up on this team under this ownership, after having been through the last 5 years( and the rest!), is bonkers!
    Ok,we know we don't have an out and out striker since Roscoe's injury....but to keep pulling it out of the drawer at every available opportunity is getting mighty tedious now. I have no doubt we tried to get the right fit at the end of January,failed,but weren't prepared to take the wrong fit. I fail to understand how some of our fans can't accept that our recruitment overall has been fab....we're watching the best football we've seen in a long time. We were victims of circumstance at the end of January,weren't prepared to compromise our policy,so we deal with it. This is a very young squad,learning all the time. We can't chuck every defeat at the door of the recruitment team.

    Just before the cross the ball was clearly (on the tv picture) out of play as Bennette was running down the wing with it. We got away with that one although it didn’t matter in the end.

    Sorry but the replay I watched the ball doesn't even touch the line, always totally in play

    See post #715
    It was not in the final move for the goal.

    It must have happened a little earlier then as on the video it clearly didn’t go out.

    My goodness. They looked like fouls at the game. Watching them back they were more like assaults. Absolutely shocking decisions by the officials.
