v Coventry City (h) - 16/10/21

There is absolutely nobody here. We're close to being outnumbered by the Coventry fans.

Shameful what they've turned this club into.

Horrific to hear and so sad.

I’m still relatively new to the game, but we’re still playing 5 backs, right?

Not sure of Edun’s history, but everybody else is a back. 

Edun is a left back and midfielder.

I'm just not sure why we are playing 5 at the back against Coventry.

We've got Nyambe, Lenihan, Ayala and Edun (for Pickering) - so far that back line has looked solid (apart from the Pickering/Edun change). So why five? Bizarre decision.

Wow well done to whoever arranged getting BBD back I thought there was only a tiny chance he’d even play Tuesday 

Got changed on the plane 🙂

Christ, the Cov away kit looks like a washed out version of ours.

Because Tony. I get the sinking feeling he has always been intending to play this when Van Hecke became available...

Don't know why.

Coventry play a similar and front 2 so having 3 centre backs against 2 strikers males sense to me

Mowbray rarely gets a back 3 working effectively

Remember that black/blue or white/gold dress?

Feel like I'm looking at both.

Must say this Brighton kid is catching the eye

Or the Brown kit.

Sitting JW Lower today, really noticing what a lazy lazy LAZY bastard Gallagher is.

[bluebruce]

Nyambe nearly opening his account with what would have been a cracking goal

[yankfan]

Not able to watch this one. We really playing 5 at the back at home against Coventry or has TM decided Ayala should be leading the line?

Today maybe, but he puts a good shift in pretty much every week normally. Suspect he isn't quite properly fit and either can't do the running or is being careful not to over-exert.

In which case he should have been on the bench.

Coventry not having much trouble getting shots off here when they come forward.

[Fraserkirky]

Referee is having a shocker

He puts more yards in than most

[Tom]

Buckley has to be careful, rightfully booked (after the ref ignored a blatant one for Kane) then looked like getting into a bit of handbags then putting his hand in their lads face 

[Fraserkirky]

Does Gallagher actually do anything?

[Gogger]

Buckley could well be a decent footballer, but an awfull athlete. Complete opposite of Gallagher.

Just after I read that he lunged into a silly foul. Don't think he is going to survive 90 minutes. Will be hooked or sent off. Ref had a word so I don't think he will get another warning.

Get in brilliant by Rothwell and Gally
