Good goal that.

[CoolClaret]

Fantastic goal.

Some of you lot don't know what you're watching.

[RVclaret]

What a brilliant goal.

[Tricky Trevor]

I mentioned the Roberts, Anthony, Hannibal triangle on Saturday. Hannibal not as good tonight but Roberts and Anthony could be gold at this level.

[rosswallacefreekick]

Robert’s having a great game.

[dvalley69]

Great goal. No doubt, they've had a little review at HT and come out with more intent.
Super play all round, but special praise to Roberts for his gut-busting overlap and pull back.

[Tribesmen]

Get behind them and things open up , happy with that .

[Colburn_Claret]

After 16 games it's still the same old same old. I don't want to knock Parker, but he's the manager, he's the only one who can change it. Going out playing the same way, but hoping for a different outcome is madness.

It's a simple question. Which of these players aren't doing what they are supposed to be doing? If he knows who they are they need dropping to the bench, or a run in the U21s until they get it right.
If they are all doing what they are supposed to, he needs to question himself.


Halfway through that we score, get in........but it doesn't alter the questions.

[Casper2]

Good goal

[Wo Didi]

Yes get in!!!

[burnley007]

Do we sit back and defend for 40 minutes now, or actually try and score a 2nd?

[evensteadiereddie]

We get after them.

Why is everything so black & white? Cut & dry? It's not! We're a Champ club and our players are limited, and are not robots. Changes don't just come in & make the right effect. But that's what you expect! Stop analysing every minute of a half and every mistake made. Footballers make mistakes and don't always do what they should; it doesn't mean they should be dropped. We're high up the table, if you didn't notice, and I'd imagine most of doing as they should be. We're doing just fine.

Attack
Attack
Attack Attack Attack!

[Fez]

And we'll parker, we'll parker, we'll parker, we'll parker the bussssssssss


Burnleys winning 1 nil againnnnnnn

[Casper2]

Trafford got to do better

[Stonehouse]

Chris Iwelumo must surely be lined up for the next City manager ,he knows absolutely everything.

Such a bizarre take though (You're not on your own), you need to really think about what you are moaning about... We aren't losing games, we are dominating games, conceding hardly any goals, I'm struggling to see what he's getting wrong at all

[Sgt. Pepper]

Should be more open now that Coventry have to push to get something from the game.
It'll be interesting to see if we can get in behind, especially down the right.
Hopefully we won't sit back and sit on a one goal lead.

[Commy]

Coventry going two up top with the looks of it.

[hoosier-daddy]

These Sky cameras are a f-kin joke.

[CoolClaret]

Houtondji and Koleosho on for me.

[Wo Didi]

I'm with Buxton, attack attack attack

[Commy]

Houtondji and Koleosho on for me.

Get them running into the space that is going to be there.

[Buxtonclaret]

Houtondji and Koleosho on for me.

Luca would scare them.

[hoosier-daddy]

Houtondji and Koleosho on for me.

Certainly Koleosho. He'll have plenty of space.

[tarkys_ears]

They'll have more to come at us with now but they've not really troubled us so far.

Hopefully we can open em up now

[Stonehouse]

City attacking a bit and we bring all 10 back ,take Jay off and stick Koleosho on the halfway line.

Yeah, agree. It's the style over substance issue. I remember everyone was delighted last season... (cough cough) with a slightly better style but absolutely no substance. This season we have substance but no proper style. I guess it depends what you want from your team. Winning is enough for me. I'm a fan, not a customer craving for entertainment.

[burnleymik]

Sarmiento and traffic both down.

[boatshed bill]

Houtondji and Koleosho on for me.

Egan and Humphreys for Anthony and Hannibal?

[hoosier-daddy]

We're dropping deep like we did vs Bristol City.

[KRBFC]

Score a goal then drop deep and give up all possession then drop like flies to try milk the clock.

So predictable and boring.

[Buxtonclaret]

Looks like a shame 'time-out' this.

[Tricky Trevor]

20 minutes in Coventry keeper sat down for feck all and both teams ran over for instructions.
20 minutes 2nd half Trafford sits down for feck all……………….
Needs addressing, either introduce a 2 minute break or make them play on. Some will say you can’t play on with the keeper down. I say play on they are not dying.

[Kgun5]

Score a goal then drop deep and give up all possession then drop like flies to try milk the clock.

So predictable and boring.

Ill agree when it comes to Trafford's weekly, 2nd half rub down. I hope SP is not promoting that behavior.

That said, winning is never boring.

[burnley007]

Houtondji and Koleosho on for me.

It'll be Egan coming on.
ParkerBall

[Buxtonclaret]

That was so good then from Cullen

[burnley007]

Wait till the defensive substitutions come on...

Zzz

[Tricky Trevor]

This could have been a good game if Covntry had played this way all the match.

Cullen back at anchor I see. We are shutting it down.

It isn't every minute, or every mistake. I expect us to be pro active in attack, and in creating opportunities. Instead it's so negative, and safety first, we regularly have 65% possession and create next to nothing. The opportunities are there to make something happen, we just don't take them on and it is boring and frustrating, and self defeating.
The players are good enough, teams with far less quality than us create more chances, and score more goals it's our negativity in the final third that kills us.

[Safron]

Who's flicked the negativity switch

[Indecisive]

Genuinely don’t know why I bother to log on here for updates of the match.

It’s painfully negative.

[newstart]

this is a boring boring watch

[burnleymik]

Got away with one there. Offside after they scored.

[Buxtonclaret]

Brilliant by CJ

[HollandsPies]

Wow, that was a let off.

[Tricky Trevor]

Happy flag waver. He was offside

[hoosier-daddy]

Lucky lucky lucky.... phew.

[hoosier-daddy]

Now attack!!!
