Sales in his interview was asked about Pandur... he said his improvement is the reason we are in the position we are. (ie in with a chance)
Thought we could have been 3 or 4 down at half time. Pathetic defending at times tonight and we rode our luck a lot. That being said we had the best of the chances at that point with Palmer. That was our only effort at goal in the first half and it took until 65 minutes to get our second one. Our winner vs Wednesday and the point tonight paper over a lot of big cracks, BUT we're slowly gaining points towards safety. I'd honestly start Drameh for the rest of the season now and bring Coyle on to close games out. Full credit to Amrabat and Kamara for being the difference tonight. Amrabat seems to make things happen. I'm in two minds on Slater. Was poor in general play but popped up when we needed him to a couple of times. Gelhardt the opposite. Alright in general play and then fell (literally) on a couple of occasions where he could have made something happen.
Coventry were one of the best sides I’ve seen this season. Very quick, agile, strong and committed. That said, we had 2 or 3 really good chances. Pandur was excellent, as he usually is.
Same but Selles absolutely loves him. Said his mentality off the pitch is unreal and they literally have to drag him off the training ground every day as he just wants to keep playing and practicing. Same with Hughes, said he had an elite mentality.
BTW....Why the hell are we conceding so many goals in the first couple of minutes after h/t?...That's got to be five that I can think of.
Problem is better clubs than us with more chance of progressing will want him. Shame, as he is the one player for a long while that I would push the boat out for.
Hughes is probably the most deserving to be team captain next season. Coyle can stay as club captain. When Greaves was named vice-captain, I got the feeling it was because he was a local academy product. Hughes actually strikes me as a natural leader. Nice to see Kamara with a smile on his face. For a player who has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism (mine included), he’s come up with some incredibly important goals.
Strange old game that. Oddly enjoyable. Peurta must be on the naughty step, because him not been in that side is criminal. If we do stay up I hope Selles shows a bit more to his tactical side of the game, I’ll just put it down to a lack of personal and the situation at the minute. We haven’t really altered the way we play for the last 2 and half years. It’s boring, to be honest modern football is fairly boring. Why sides think it’s better for centre halves to have the majority of the ball rather than your best midfielders is odd. Coventry played more of a style I liked.
