Christie
Just why |
When I saw the team announced I thought initially Key was going to play right in the middle of the midfield, then I looked again and thought no Key will play right wing and Ronald will play left wing that would make more sense.No we are playing five at the back, playing with three centre backs
No Christie, Key and Ronald all more or less playing on the right touchline..
Whose in the midfield just Franco and Fulton it would seem, three up top with Cullen dropping into the midfield and Bianchini and Ronald then trying to tuck into the middle.
To be honest I didn't have a clue, it was reminiscent of affairs after Martin would make his first tactical substitutions, moving players around changing positions, players having no idea where they were supposed to be playing. then changing things back with his next substitution five minutes later.
Shambolic the central midfield out numbered and out manoeuvred.
To be fair Coventry's front pair had quality, an understanding and given the supply of balls made life hard for the backs which we couldn't cope with.
I would say that when Cooper came on his work rate and movement gave players on the ball options that had sorely been lacking from the team earlier , did the same happen when Pearl-Harris came on or by then had Coventry dropped off to keep the he 2 goal lead secure?
Even trying to win the ball in the middle we would crowd it but then have no options but to try and to pass a couple of feet not getting out of the crowded area or play it too long, even decent passses out of the crowded area left the forward or man on the ball isolated because no-one then moved out of the crowded area having won the ball thinking their job had been done, absolute no meaningful movement to support the man on the ball.
Not easy to replace someone who has dictated play for so long but we seem to try and over complicate things. |  | |  |

In short,utterly unacceptable
We are a dead dog lying in the ditch | |

I agree, squad is not good enough, ive seen a post elsewhere saying that changing the manager is no good, as we are stuck with the players we have.
doing nothing WILL get us relegated, , a new manager may.....may improve some things, and as youve mentioned it in your post re ignite that player who has sadly regressed. |
Cost of relegation will be significant
Can’t work out if we are insouciant or plain stupid | |

We are being run by amateurs, that's the problem and with a coach that looks like he's been caught in the headlights. |  |

Ste.
True but many unpaid folk run organisations well enough
Williams has been outed,his mind has been shattered ,his body pummelled. He is a walking disaster .
I can’t believe he’s still there
And he’s a “. Nice “ man. My God,. | |

Ok in the first half. The effort was there even if the quality wasn’t and they didn’t seem to know what their roles were individually and collectively. The crowd got behind the team. Coventry fans were up for it and that roused us a bit.
The first, but particularly the second goal killed the atmosphere dead. We all knew it was over by half time.
The East was half empty by the end. There were fairly loud boos from those still there. Williams went straight down the tunnel. | | | |

Would have been a lot louder if people hadn’t left before the end in big numbers. Can’t bland them, at least they showed up | | | |

I have always stayed to clap the players and give support at the end of matches. Yesterday I was so disgusted that as soon as the added time board went up I left. Should I have stayed to boo, that's not me, I find it very hard to boo our players. |  | | |

I’m the same. I did join in yesterday, but only at the end and it was very much directed at Luke Williams.
I’ll always get behind the players during the game, but I don’t think they’d take the booing to heart. They’ve effectively done the same thing by dropping the effort since he lost the dressing room | | | |

We left straight after the final whistle.
Where we park, there are 14 spaces, the same people park there every game.
Usually when we get back to the car there are 8 or 9 cars left there.
Yesterday there were 2. |  |

Well, when I went, I always stayed until the end mainly as one never knows what can happen in a game
Now,that’s not so .We will always fork it up.
Players these days don’t give a monkeys
The badge kissing should be a yellow card . It’s an insult . Real club men like Matthews ,Finney ,Lofthouse and our very own Ivor or Robbie J would never have resorted to such crap. It’s purely to impress fans when they are really laughing at them . Their job is not as it was with less for a won than a defeat or draw. They are cosseted and pampered .
They love the praise but hate the stick .
Tough innit | |

Stanley Matthews was a wonderful player, but was a money grabber of the worst kind - holding teams and team mates to ransom throughout his career - which got worse when he retired and supposedly playing matches for various charities and ex players!! |  |

Port Vale were forced to apply for re-election to the league in 1968 for paying illegal payments - and Stanley Matthews resigned as their manager. | |
