two halfs with very different performances by town. coventry started brightly and looked sharper , had more variation in there attack and were wining most of the second balls.

town worked hard but there first touch and distribution was poor (a lot of forward momentum was lost due to this),the long diaganol balls were been picked up by coventry, we had three chances. unfortently towns defence switched off and coventry score a soft goal.ferjiri had very little supply apart from high balls that he had no chance of winning

Ricketts desrvers credit for putting whalley on for the start of the second half he made an imediate impact, town had more pace he was all over the place, then Giles came on and injected some real pace down the wing
really dont like players pestering and pressuerising the ref to try and get Norburn sent off.

we scored through a very congested box who cares if it was scr@ppy both teams had chances. the second goal was a real rockett but in the build up cummings showd his football brain ,the obvious pass was to edwards but he spred the play to giles who made a cross and whalley smashhed it in.
all credit to town for a fighting comeback and a well deserverd three points.
 
Very good summary Zen. The game could have gone either way but all credit to Ricketts for some good early subs and to the lads for that battling second half. Great strike from Whaley. Very entertaining to hear the Coventry fans and manager moaning about the ref - I thought some of their players were an absolute disgrace - throwing themselves to the ground every time they lost a tackle and six or seven of them surrounding the ref trying to get Norburn sent off. It's a great shame this sort of thing so prevalent in the Premier league seems to be creeping into our league - real men do not behave like that.

completely agree, i hate this aspect of the modern game
 
Whalley has spent most of the season so far either being played out of position or struggling with injury. He is a big player for us and that goal should kickstart his season as long as he plays in his natural position of wide on the right. Robbins said that Coventry were kicked off the pitch - what a ludicrous way to try and draw attention away from the fact that they were outfought in the second half. He also said we do not have any young players - tell that to Giles, O' Leary and Laurent.
