I always think players tend to look worse when there’s an absolute nob in charge. He’s assembled a disjointed squad with 121 midfielders, 1 fit defender who is on loan and spent a lot of money on two nothing players. What went wrong?

I didn’t say they didn’t try, I just don’t think they are playing for him. They are just doing what they want hoping for a bit of individual brilliance to score a goal. A bit like a Sunday knockabout, no one wants to lose but there’s no leadership. Reminds me of the Kidd mess, or the last days of Hodgson.

Those players aren’t playing for him, no one can tell me otherwise. They are just giving it a leaderless go week in week out.

Thought we’d scored then 😫

Oh he’s sat down again. No urgency on the pitch or bench just like the last match.

Probably playing him up front.

Venus and Mowbray up, it’s as if the medication has worn off and they’ve realised they are actually managing a football club.

This half.

Kinnell! Tony’s stood up!

They all have. They look lost. The tactic employed seems purely of praying someone can come to with a moment of brilliance. Keith Andrews - professional sniffer.

16th on goal difference at the moment.

Don’t know about anyone else but that 45 flew by.

2 minutes in, lucky not to be losing.

Hang on didn't he quote Williams as one of the injured players affecting the team not long ago or did I imagine it?

He doesn’t take pressure very well does he?

It was for Bowyer.

I agree it’s not on the same level as Kean, I was just meaning there’s always a type of person who won’t have anything said bad about anyone behind the scenes at the club. They’ll slate individual players but manager, CEO or chairman get a free pass. It’s like they don’t think a manager is really necessary to achieve results and it’s purely down to the players. They don’t seem to want to acknowledge it’s the manager who brings in the players, picks them and coaches them.

I’m not sure it’s totally unique. I remember people defending Kean on TV at the height of his ineptitude. As I said on another thread I saw a guy trying to initiate a fight in the riverside in front of his wife and young child because one guy shouted Kean out.

Some people think that by criticising the manager you’re not a real fan. I saw it said before the Coventry match. A bloke (from down south somewhere) said whoever doesn’t get behind Tony Mowbray isn’t a real fan along with some name calling, and that comment got a ton of likes and several replies of “well said” and “couldn’t agree more.” These were from local fans. It must be a strange world to live in to have zero opinion on what you’re witnessing.

Do they watch the games because even in our better performances this season we’ve looked disjointed and all over the place defensively. Then the bizarre subs come along. And if that’s not evidence enough we’ve just taken 1 point from 18 and in 15th place not knowing where the next point is going to come from. I don’t understand why he’s so immune from criticism. I can only assume they aren’t as informed as some of the posters on here. In a Facebook discussion I once brought up the issue of debt when some were saying we should accept that we’re a lower league mid table club. The replies I got were along the lines of, “what debt?” And, “Venkys are paying the bills aren’t they?” Ignorance is bliss.

It’s completely fair as that’s what he did. It doesn’t matter how he discovered it, he came on, argued his point and then ruined it by basically taking the same stance that he was opposing. “I don’t like people disagreeing with me.” Not many people responded to the original post. Only one was abusive and that was two words. If you think that’s venom you might want to have a word with Chaddy or Mercer. “Why shouldn't he be allowed to come on and defend himself for a couple of hours, but then get on with his Sunday afternoon?” Now you’re doing it. Who said he’s not allowed to defend himself? He did didn’t he? Has he been banned?

I’ll be very surprised if we aren’t in a relegation fight next season. We’re guaranteed to lose some decent players and retain some poor players. The manager and CEO don’t appear to be at all troubled by any on or off field problems. And knowing the lack of speed at which the owners react it could end very badly for the club.

Coventry fans aren’t too fond!
