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

[toogs]

Buckley’s really staked a claim 👀

[rog of the rovers]

32 years and counting for league victories in the city of Coventry.

These nights happen, let’s hope there’s a reaction at Home Park on Saturday, the full inquest of this game can begin then.

Shocking tonight well of it but let’s write it off very disappointed but onto Plymouth forget this game now and go out on a high before international break v Plymouth RTID

[Torgeir]

Coventry in full control tonight. Just see it out with 3-0 and it's onto the next one. Would put Beck straight in when he's back, and Cozier-Duberry looks busy too.

[WacoRover]

We all figured a beating of monumental proportions was in the works. 
It’s good for us… humbling.

John Buckley has looked so dire since he came on 

Thought he was very lucky not to get a yellow for his first foul.

Nine times out of ten he'd have been off for two yellows.

[Tugay-is-God]

Real reality check here tonight. If we're gonna be honest, we've looked this bang average for long periods this season. 

[Torgeir]

First goal was a silly freekick to give away from Ohashi. Second a big big mistake and third definitely a bit of a flukey deflection as well. 0-0 was far from an impossible task, but we made it an uphill struggle.

The subs have been as bad as the starters...

Really really poor performance. Was hoping to see more of fight, but very reminiscent of a JDT type game when we went behind. Never looked anywhere near getting back in.

[neophox]

Burnley and Sunderland winning...

[Forever Blue]

The only positive has been Duberry

[Cherry Blue]

Embarrassing non performance. Well done the fans who travelled.

Talk about desperately trying to make a mountain out of not only not a molehill but something that isn't even there in the first place.

Edit: But yes you're right  - after that 3rd goal the English keeper needs resting for the Hungarian lad

Just to be clear, I am not accusing anyone of the "R" word, just seemed a bit disrespectful. Would have no issue with someone saying they were not the same after their Japanese player was injured.

Can we leave it at that?

Useless f-ing clown

I kept a seat warm for everyone on the Pears Out bus.

What a bad night at the office this performance has been. Very disjointed performance and one that look like they never played together and we have never get out of neutral gear. very unsatisfying performance.  

We haven't step up at any point of the match. 

very disappointed today. 

Well done to any Rovers supporter who went today and its been such a disappointing performance

Lets hope from a reaction on Saturday at Plymouth now!

No point looking at those two, they will probably end the season on close to double the amount of points we will have and in Burnley's case especially that should be the case considering the financial disparities.

for what? 

[Herbie6590]

Unutterable dross this. No urgency. No shape. No obvious strategy. 
Absolutely woeful all over the pitch. 
Saturday now fills me with dread fear. 
 

Big hand for those who’ve paid to travel to watch this tripe.

Good, because it’s Plymouth and Derby we’ll be more worried about come the end of the season

(obviously never good to see Burnley winning)

The second wasn't even a freekick but nice try. Played like sh1te though.

That's true but Home Park isn't a happy hunting ground for us either... 

Never in it tonight, they scored at good times but the 2nd one was totally self inflicted.. 

A game too far as Mark Hughes used to say! 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Sounds like it's been a shit show. But we were always going to lose one at some point and a forgettable Tuesday night game in Coventry is better than a losing a home game. Sorry for the travelling fans though

 

If one good thing comes out of it hopefully it will give The manager an excuse to give Toth a shot in goal now
