Nobody is throwing anyone anywhere but as already said defensively we are poor, defensively we have been poor for way too long. Warburton has been Manager for an long time and he has not addressed the situation and he is not, I repeat not above criticism.

Agreed.

Maybe I misunderstood when you said ‘he’s had long enough’.

Fine fck him off then scratch your head when we go through the trauma of another overhaul. No one can stick up for that defending but allude to sacking the manager? Moronic.

Who is alluding to sacking him?!! Certainly not me.

You are making sh*t up now. Log off and go to bed, you are talking bollocks.

Let’s nip this in the bud. He was a great manager last week.

But how many easy chances did Forest get. Warburton has had a decent time to sort the defence out so you have to wonder if he can. He clearly has talents in many areas but seemingly organising a defence is not one of them. If this team is to succeed we must at the very least get somebody into the club that can. Working under Warburton is fine by me, I am not asking for him to be sacked by any means just get somebody to help him with the defence.

Did you watch the last match? Not going to blame Lumley mate, what’s he going to do if Coventry centre backs are having target practice at him from 6 yards out

Come off his line for the second
Should have done better for the first, it went through his legs
No chance with the third
Felt he could have claimed one or two crosses too.
Doesn't seem to install any confidence.
3 against Plymouth, nothing to do last week...10+ goals he was at fault with last season.

I don't rate him. If he didn't come up through the ranks, he would never have been given as much leeway as he gets.

Wallace was poor today too, but was great last week.

Chair, wasted on the left...

Amos and Carroll invisible tonight

Cameron....ðŸ™„

On the plus side...BOS looked good and Dykes works bloody hard

Are we staying up?

No excuse, but interesting watching replays of McFazdeen's goal. No one has noticed McFazdeen has a hand on Barbets head, pushing him down and allowing McF to get his header in

He’s not exactly manhandling him. Barbet has got to be more physical there. Watch the set pieces again. Before it’s taken at the edge of the box it is Barbet’s man that scored, not Dykes. It looks like it’s Dykes at the end, but we set up with our men ball side nearer the corner taker. Small shove and it’s a free header. This is professional football. It’s a contact sport. Barbet has to grow a pair and be stronger.

Long enough to sort the defense out.

Look we're all pissed off, 2-1 down and we equalize with 15 minutes to go, you-me and everyone knows what happens next.

It's so predictable and frustrating why it's still happening

He’s had one season in which he completely built a new side in one summer and finished higher than the previous year.
He’s not above criticism at all and defending tonight after being decent v forest (point to missed chances if you like but teams will always create some chances) was abysmal, particularly those final 3 corners. He has to find a solution. Fast.
But sorry, he has not had the gig a long time. I mean, maybe by our fked up standards he has, but 1 year, half of which was in fkn lockdown? Come off it Ted. That’s bollox and you know it.

Bare bones.

It’s a nice sentiment, but we’ve always been competitive and we’re not always losing.

When you lose, hughill, wells and eze and replace them with a striker who for two matches has seen very little of any service inside the box, we`re not going to be competitve as we were last season. Add to the mix the calamity at the back your second point might just be one word too long.

We should have put our foot on the throat of a very poor Coventry side in the first half and been more aggressive. First time I’ve seen Dickie...possibly the most unathletic footballer I can remember seeing. Looking forward to see just how low the match rating is for Wallace in the write up. He was atrocious.

yes we did beat Forest but that could have been different
Be interesting to see how many times Coventry score 3 this season
Last year we scored for fun and was bad defensively. The scoring for fun seems to have come to an end with Hugill... Wells... and Eze gone
The defence is just as bad.... so it is not looking good
There is little chance we will get 3 players to score like those I mentioned... so we need to tighten up.... and quick because on tonight's viewing it looks grim

It's not bolox at all he's had plenty of time to sort out the defense.

Now that's my opinion, the defense is still leaking goals at a rate that it shouldn't be.

If Wallace gets more than a 3, A stewards inquiry must surely follow...

We look like conceding everytime our opponent went forward tonight , this was a terrible Coventry team who were there for the taking yet we fell to pieces at every set piece, the second goal was a disgrace , how many games have we thrown away points from winning positions under warburton, the answer is to many
Warburton is on thin ice and many more performances like tonight and he should go

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Go and have a sit down, maybe in a dark room, and have a good read of the order of the conversation. I misunderstood Ted’s post but you seem to have run with it.

I presume we are both pissed off because of the defending and the result, but it seems to me you would be better off putting me on ignore if it makes you react like a toddler who dropped their ice cream.

Come on. We conceded tons of goals with him in the team for the majority of the last two seasons. Something has to be done but Toni was never it, much as i liked him.

pah, probably you're right...I don't know the answer, but as you say, something has to be done, but yet nobody actually knows what. I thought we needed someone nasty out there today, somebody who'd take ownership a bit. Maybe that isn't Toni, maybe I'm thinking of a Derry or a Hill....but either way, I felt we lacked leadership and heads dropped in that second half.

I never alluded to sacking the manager. I don’t want us to sack him! I’d like us to defend set pieces like a professional outfit. That’s all. Not sure why that post was “moronic”.

We desperately need a new coach in to be tasked with sorting out the defence. Clearly none of the current group can do it. It’ll be worth more points than any signing will. Dickie can defend corners. He’s defender a lot in his career. As has Barbet and Wallace. And Cameron. There is experience there. It must be how we’re set up at corners and an attitude issue.

I listened to the podcast this morning. It seems as though Warburton knows there are going to be problems defending height/physicality but is ok with that because it allows us to get more skillful players in and create more the other end.

That's true. But on the balance of what we've seen this year and last...is it worth it? There must, surely, be an acknowledgement that the pendulum has swung too far. We all want to see wonderful attackimg football but to PPs point, we shouldn't be hiding behind the sofa every time the opposition gets a corner. And this is going to get worse. Every opponent now knows we have a massive weakness at corners and is going to spend the week before the game focusing on how to score from corners

Think there’s a good argument to rejig the coaching set up and bring in a new defensive coach. Can’t keep doing the same thing and having the same outcome game after game.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting we sack anyone...just hire a defensive coach. Cheaper than signing a player.
