The difference in keepers 

Pears wouldn't have done much better

I just can’t believe we’ve had loads of the ball and the better chances and have gone behind to a sucker punch 😅.

I can

I don't agree that he has.

He went walkabouts and flapped at the ball. Dreadful keeping. Pears would have been hammered for that

[rovers11]

Lack of transfers really telling now. Some of our better players out and the form has plummeted. 

I really don't see us getting anything from this game now. Our record when we go one down must be one of the worst in the league. Zero goals in this squad.

[Tom]

That’s frustrating, we’ve dominated but trail, really poor from JRC for the goal, the balls there to be won but he’s backed away from it.

Looking to the bench it will be difficult to do too much but the feather in our cap may be the manager in the other dugout is hardly a master tactician

I’d struggle to fault any of them think they are all doing a decent job just lacking a goal

There you go Exiled a yellow card, superb from Gueye 

I'd struggle to praise any of them, JRC, Cantwell, Buckley and Hedges? They have done the combined total of fcuk all. Nothing.

[ItsRoverZ]

Could even  be game over, we will be hit by another sucker punch chasing the game 

[Ricceh]

Everyone's ignoring the fact that their corner came from a pointless give away from a throw in that Brittain took 45 seconds to take. If we don't concede the corner, we don't concede the goal.

[pick32]

Owners fault had the better chances should of signed a striker on 1st of Jan, easily drop 10-20million and be in FFP pathetic Pune wet wipes 

[duckson]

Toth wasn't getting there so looked like he was making himself as big as possible ala Peter Schmeichel.

[DE.]

I feel sorry for Eustace - he's getting everything he can out of this squad but, as always, lack of backing from the Ewood hierarchy is absolutely killing us.

[davulsukur]

Don't think Toth was to blame, JRC let him down by not challenging well for the ball.

That aside, I think we've been alright tbf. 

Best 45 from Gueye by some distance.

I know right? I've only seen this about a thousand times before.

[onlyonejackwalker]

A tad unlucky here. We've looked good and created some opportunities. Some good performances so far.

Unfair pinning that on Toth.

Shocking defending from JRC. He's been awful this half.

It is a GK error. He's gonna come and try and punch that. It was weak goalkeeping. 

[neophox]

Pears would had done the same.... a bad bit of luck for them as we had a bit of luck last week.....we need to score goals thats it...not relying on our keeper and backline all the time....Dolan, Hedges and Cantwell are all attacking players but uneffective and they DONT SCORE GOALS!!!

Exactly how I saw it.

[RevidgeBlue]

Horror show from the keeper.

Thought we played quite well overall. Buckley and Dolan showing up really well but not enough bite in front of goal as usual then the keeper drops an enormous rick and Coventry find themselves ahead with their first chance.

45 mins to save the season.

I still think I must have been seeing things when he had that brilliant run a couple of seasons ago. He was like a man possessed against Huddersfield, quite literally ran the game single handed.

Ever since that purple patch he’s pretty much been back to his terrible self.

Gueye screaming for the ball from some of his players....some on the pitch should be ashamed...JRC doing nothing in midfeld and losing duels and misspasses...awful...

Exactly. Made it easy for the striker to nod it in. If he stayed on his line it was an easy save. All the players looked at him cos they knew he’d fucked up. 

[chaddyrovers]

Not a game we should be losing at half. Much better team, creating the best chances so far. 

Need to keep attacking down the wings. That's where the space is. Keep doing it. 

Gueye done well. 

COYB!

Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵 ⚪️!!!

I'm not a huge fan of pears I know but he's played well this season but he wouldn't have saved that either 

[BigBar]

These midweek games are so fucking depressing, we haven't been terrible but we haven't been great. Huff and puff then concede a sloppy goal. 1 or 2 decent additions would make a world of different. Too many passengers in the squad.
