Oh my word!

Nicely finished by Anthony. A calm head.

Come on! Keep it tight.

What a boy Anthony is. I’ve always rated him me. He’s taken some stick on this board this year, perhaps too much and unfounded. Some boy.

This crowd wants a free kick every time one of our players breathes on one of theirs.

We need to kill the energy. Put our foot on the ball. Maintain possession, etc.

Calm heads needed.

We’ve played an awful lot of short passes today. Wonder if Coventry have left the grass longer?

We're lacking a bit of composure in our play today but credit to them they are closing down well all over the pitch.

Browny needs to be a little careful kicking the ball away......I wouldn't wish to rely on this ref.

A great corner routine.

Unfortunately, nobosy attacking the ball in the 6 yd box.

What would I give for a proper CF. How mnay times am I going to say that, this year.

That was a pen. His arm is horizontal, the ball isn’t fired at him it’s a deflection about 5yds away.

Honestly don't know how people can keep defending Foster. I'll always back our players but we certainly need better if we get promoted.

I'm glad we don't have to play Luton again. They are really bullying Leeds. Shame they can't get the second goal.

Chance to break away but turns and played it back

Foster has played well today - his movement creates the first goal, and he's really battled hard against their defence.

Maybe Foster will track back and shore up the back line more than Edwards?

I think it is probably the correct decision to take Browny off. This game is destined to have claims and dives for the last 20 mins. Need him for the run-in and he's on a yellow.

Going to be a tight 20 mins.
