Yes, good for COD putting in a good show making us eat our words.

Literally the only player in the club willing to try and run with the ball mind.

Certainly making a few on here look stupid.

One swallow a summer doesn’t make

He needs consistency of performance.  OK few can play at their best week in week out, trouble with COD is when he is not top of his game he can be truly dreadful

 

Perhaps Nige can get him to play at good level every match.

Think most think COD has plenty of ability but is very inconsistent in delivering on that ability. He’s been excellent so far today, but that isn’t a sign of new found consistency, if that comes well done Callum, but a sequence of games away.

Really makes a difference having a player with a bit of pace who runs beyond defenders. Makes our punts forward a bit more threatening.

Still struggling a bit to hold onto the ball but low possession football works better when you press with some energy and defend solidly.

This looks a lot more like a 'proper away performance' than we have had recently.

Fair play to CO'D, also defended fairly well. After they won a backpost header he had a massive block on a shot that could have easily been on its way in!

1st half summary:

shaky opening 20 (seconds)!!!!  then we should have got a red card (might've been outside the box - Moore on O'Dowda)

shaky opening 20 minutes, but grew into it, albeit a bit rushed, but we did what an away side should...frustrate the home side.  They started to rush the pass forward.  we kept a good shape.

We've defended well.  Gradually started to get Bakinson and Scott on the ball, and then you can get width.

O'Dowda a very decent first half, and rightly got his opponent red carded on h-t.  Well taken pen.

Thank you, thank, you, thank you, Alex Scott....great foul and yellow....Fleming just watch out that ref doesn't try and even up.

Martin won some good flicks, but that was a classy pass for O'Dowda for the pen.

@And Its Smithcan you jinx another Coventry player please for the 2nd half, after you built up Maatsen.

Grit, discipline now please.  No need to go bad, but keep the ball, tire Cov out.

He does occasionally have a game where he looks a class above. Just needs to do it regularly (been saying that for a few years!)

Just great to have a player with some pace who actually gets in behind the defence.

COYR!!

I though the net was supposed to be pinned down, the back edge of the net lifts clear of the ground.

COD what a player 

I thought he'd been our best offensive player so far today. Not a huge brag I know.

How has Vyner been?

Yes, Scott getting a 2nd yellow a risk as does tend to slide in. I'd seriously consider swapping him out for Benarous.

[Wanderingred]

Absolutely dreading this second half now. 1-0 up vs ten men.. We should see this out but this is Bristol City.

[Bodiesaffer]

I’d take Scott off for Wells now.

Ironically, it looked a less clear-cut pen than the earlier call when the keeper floored him.  Not complaining mind. 

Yeah, there was a 30% swing on the second from the ref down to not giving us the first one. I was screaming for a pen for both anyway.

Wells has been very poor last few games, swap him out for Benarous who will run at the opposition and keep them occupied.

[ProfitInMyPocket]

if COD used his right foot I'd get off his case but it still irks me that he just won't use it. 

No real standouts so far from the team though i'd say Vyner has been pretty good bar one messy clearance, think we might be catching Coventry at the perfect time and the boys are doing okay, room for improvement but some positive signs.

Rather someone else on the wing than Weimann, Tanner still keeps getting exposed with him sat in front.

[Dan Robin]

Not a bad first half, despite Coventry having better play and more chances: Bentley had some work to do but overall defence was OK, Callum was our best player in attack, good finishing by Martin, lively Scott.  The referee made a terrible decision after the first minutes but he put remedy to it near the end of the half (not a stonewall penalty like the first one, but still a penalty).

Now let's not lose the plot, please. COYR!!

His runs have been spot on, lately.  We’ve just been piss poor on spotting them.

[The Original OTIB]

run at 'em... get another off.

[Bazooka Joe]

The players have got to watch out for the ref trying to even up the red card situation in the second half.

Don't give him any opportunity to do so.

Their lot will be on the ref's back every chance they get.

[The Original OTIB]

slick surface, don't dive in

should not force it, (try) keep the ball and be patient.

Any comments about how hopeless COD and Chris Martin are?

Let's see how we do in the second half yet. We could well get a player sent off too

[Clevedon Red]

Pen no 2. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

I just can’t help but think being a man up and one up is a recipe for disaster. 

It is hardly surprising that pessimism is the default setting......given our previous performances.........but maybe today is when it all  goes right for us?   Though I am not confident   ha!!

[Ryan_BCFC]

F****** joke 

[City_USA]

Unbelievable

[sh1t_ref_again]

Time to take off martin and put on pace up front with the extra man
