v Coventry City (a) - 1/10/2024

[RTM08]

Cov have lost 5 of the last 6 at home, when was the last time Rovers didn't gift an out of form team at least a point?

Coventry doing a Preston. Wasting time

Thanks Opta 

You're welcome.

Pickering back to aimlessly kicking the ball into the middle of the field again.

When is Beck back?

[VenkysRuinedMyLife]

Wright's never getting selected by the US again so he's trying to ingratiate himself at Coventry by wasting time

[Dreams of 1995]

We look poor on the left side. I won’t say why…..

Dolan just isn’t the answer in the middle. I’m sorry but he loses the ball too much

[ItsRoverZ]

We look really poor yet again 

[roverandout]

Pears gives me kittens. Nearly caught out with a cross then kicks the ball out of play

[j166429]

We're all over the place. We need to get hold of the ball

[CambridgeRover]

why on earth is Dolan trying some stupid back heel there when we are struggling to keep the ball

Because he's brainless 

[Blow-in]

Getting bullied on every set piece.

[superniko]

Another free header. We have Hyam, Carter and Bath on the pitch - absolutely no excuse for how soft we are

[Mercer]

We are getting bullied.

Madness not to start with Gueye.

We badly need a big physical presence.

Horrible performance, so far.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Absolute dogshit this 

[roverandout]

Get dolan off. He's useless

Sorry what's the connection between him not getting picked for the USA and him trying to ingratiate himself to his club's fans?

[Old Codger]

These are thugs, roughing our defenders up at set pieces, including for their goal - very unsettling, and something we need to factor in to our play.

[Exiled_Rover]

Bloody hell, Coventry are time wasting at home in the first half.

What a tin pot outfit. 

[ItsRoverZ]

I've watched us 3 times in a row, Preston QpR and now tonight and all 3 we've been rancid and helped by red cards.. tonight will be a long night, cantwell wasted out wide and our midfield overrun and easily dispossessed.

Eh? They’re just playing Football, we’re soft as shite - have been for years

It's a worrying trend. Fine when we're still picking up points but in the longer term will not do us well. Hopefully we step it up in the second half.

[Blow-in]

We simply cannot play out from the back, each pass invites a little more pressure like a ractchet until we finally passit to one of their lot in the middle of our half. Needs a change of style if not players.

Mak for Dolan and Ohashi as number 10.

Tbh I think we've partly lucked our way into this position from the off. I want us to do well but we have been fortunate
