This is where we can actually see Holden’s tactical knowledge for the first time maybe. Needs to be changed badly so will see if he can rectify

Can tweak it without subs.  Expect a few heated words after that though.

Some of these comments are a joke right?

We're only 45 minutes in to the first game of the season, with an 11 that, i think is safe to say wouldn't be our regular starting team and yet reading some of these posts writing OUR players off is ******* embarrassing! 45 MINUTE IN FFS!!!!!! 

OTIB is the same every game, every season. We could be 5-0 up and some on here would be moaning. 

The promises that this football club have made to the fans justify every response on here.

Kalas doing well considering the shitte around him.

I think he’s looked a bit all over the place.

No where near our full strength team but after all our centre mid issues last year I’m lost for words that Nagy and Morrell aren’t involved.

Can you imagine any other club not involving a centre mid who has played 2 full games for their country a weak earlier? Joke.

Just got back. Assume paying a tenner for the second half might not be money well spent? I see Soccer Saturday are showing goals as they go in anyway

I wouldn't. Wait for the highlights - if there are any - later.

Other than the first few minutes Coventry have been by far the better team.

[Galway Red]

The problem is that we have about 12 midfielders at the club but no actual midfield

[old_eastender]

COD actually making a lot of sense in his summary...

[winsaw]

I am so disappointed we are playing exactly like last season, think that is one of the poorest midfield I have ever seen play for city, not one knows what they are doing , 

[David Brent]

Who did Lisa Knights play for?

Midfield non existent so permanent pressure on the back three. No service to front two.

I never believed we could be so bad.

Local derby's resume next season.

Oh for heaven’s sake.  Who would you have had in midfield, assuming Williams Walsh Nagy Morrell all unavailable?  Only half time...

Does Callum o’dowda ever smile... does he even enjoy his very lucky career.

Whether he smiles or not I think we have bigger issues to worry about, after watching that I don't think him gleaming like a Cheshire cat is going to look good.

Weimann, Massengo need more positional discipline. Leaving each other hanging at times. Nice to just see Kalas there with his arm round Han-Noah's shoulders. Needs to be guiding him and helping him just like that.

Same dog shit as last season, did we expect anything more, after all, only one half of the chuckle brothers was sacked! You’ve got to drain a cyst and remove the core to stop the same thing happening!

[old_eastender]

No changes at HT, just like under LJ Holden will no doubt wait for us to be 1-2 down first...

If Moore and Vyner were either side of the World’s best centre-back he’d look lost too!

[GlastonburyRed]

I mean I know we haven't been great, but people acting as if Nagy would be the saviour 

[George Rs]

Unless there is an obvious change it tactics I have no clue why he wouldn’t make subs 

[RedorDead BCFC]

someone tell Pato we’ve changed ends

? Moore has made a few mistakes on the wrong side but Kalas has twice passed the ball to the opposition in defence! 

[Cardy]

Well we’ve had 4 shots which I suppose is some sort of improvement on the Johnson era but we have been awful for 90% of that first half.

Fair play, I have never heard that analogy before. I can almost taste it. 

[Bar BS3]

Liam Walsh must have progressed, alot, if he was their play of the year.

I understand that Nagy and Morrell didn't get back to the squad until Thursday, but I tend to agree that it is baffling not to include at least one of those two in todays squad. As soon as I saw that team announced I feared the worst - and that first half was the worst. Hopefully, they can rectify it in the second half.

On a positive note, we smashed them and played fantastic football for the first minute.

Get Fammy off, another mess up attempt on goal.

I do love Fammy but his strengths are clearly heart and athleticism and not necessarily striking ability

Everybody if you believe the rumours

Can we please have a ball playing CF?
