v Coventry (a) - 1/11/22 - at CBS Arena (the Ricoh in old money)

[benhben]

Why have we only subbed Hirst for Vale. 

He's done some good stuff JDT, but some nights it's like his brain is turned off.

Surely a system change or something...

[booth]

Get Szmodics off. Every time he gets it he passes to a Coventry player.

I agree we need a decent back-up striker, but that isn't the reason we play so badly away.

JDT has repeatedly made unfathomable decisions during out pitiful away run, and that has been our downfall. 

The players just don't buy into the experiment when they are away from Ewood. 

Pickering instead of Vale tonight would have provided some solidity which we would have built from, and at least prevented wave after wave of penetrative attacks from a team that lost at home on Saturday.

There is no way that JDT would ever look at how lowly Blackpool came away from Coventry with 3 points, only 3 days ago. 

We may win this, against all odds, but that doesn't change the fact that our starting selection was bloody clueless!!!!!!!

I'm devastated. 

Yes there are other issues too. Totally agree it's not the sole issue 

But I do think a striker who y'know gave them something to think about might also relieve some pressure. 

[roverandout]

We need a goal so pass it backwards.  Then smodzic gives it away

[Tugay-is-God]

Still no changes? Really?

[G Somerset Rover]

Does Travis know he can pass forwards? 

[Crozzy]

We are chasing a goal against one of the worst teams in the league. Playing shit. 
we should be throwing the kitchen sink at this. Instead we leave the ineffective system 

[yankfan]

Szmodics has been terrible. That last one he was two steps slow to step to the pass 

[ItsRoverZ]

I'm fuming ..its like JDT doesn't care we are losing 1-0 .. stubborn ass if he wants dack gone and won't use him .. this game is crying out for some creativity 

[ben_the_beast]

Need Brittain on the right. Our two best players are too close to each other. 

And Dack on for Szmodics

When he first broke into the team he used to, but Mowbray drilled it out of him.

[booth]

Too slow, no urgency to the play and several players are sleepwalking through the game.

Manager has forgotten he can make subs.

Coventry haven't been tested at all.

He has but tonight is puzzling. We play out from back getting ahead of 4 Cov players, then we go back again. Don't get it.

[Tugay-is-God]

Come on Dacky, give us something!

[roverandout]

I give up. Total shit

[Crozzy]

3 coming on 

[yankfan]

JDT will run Dack out there for 5 min?  Be lucky to get a kick.

Looks like you got your wish.

[Crozzy]

Why leave it so late. Change it with 20 mins to go or 25. Not fucking 10

[SoldierMo]

Seriously something has to be wrong with hirst

I'm a bit confused here. The same Brittain who's won our two corners in this second half and at least one in our first half and had our best chance of the game? (Granted he should've done better with it.) 

I’m not even that fussed about his missed chance. All he’s been able to offer in an attacking sense is exactly what people moaned about from Nyambe for years.

To reiterate its not his fault, he should be playing in his proper position.

Our club's motto is "Arte et Labour" or in english By "Skill and Hard Work"

This performance has been an embarrassment

Think he's just rubbish tbh.

[superniko]

Far too late these subs 

[ItsRoverZ]

10 mins.. our 3 subs get 10 mins to help bring us back into this .. these subs are 10 mins or more too late
