Coventry City at home match day thread

[tin]

We could and arguably should’ve taken 6 points off Coventry this season. You couldn’t make it up. They say luck’s a leveller. Let’s hope it arrives in boat loads next season. 

[YGBjammy]

Remember: performances over results. Good young team putting in a decent performance against a team higher than us in the league.

(Still ******* annoying though)

[BCFC Grim]

The goals we concede week in, week out are ******* pathetic.

A much better second half but untill we stop gifting goals we will keep losing more than we win.

Such a shame.

[The Gasbuster]

Coventry’s dirge is as bad as Leeds & Birmingham’s.

[pl00peh91]

61 goals conceded in 34 games 

[cidercity1987]

Very unlucky to lose that whilst probably not doing enough after the equaliser to win it

[Southport Red]

Klosepushed over five feet from the ref, no foul

[ExiledAjax]

Death, taxes, Bristol City 2021/22 conceding late suckered punches.

Get off Massengo's back here, he under hit a pass 70 yards from goals. We had enough to cover man for man and he ran all the way back tracking the man. Those passes happen 10 times a game and nothing comes of it except when we do it.

Correct, what happened after that was as alarming as a player losing the ball in midfield 

[Jerseybean]

Despite the result and another late goal from our mistake I really enjoyed that. We looked after the ball so much better than usual and generally played well. A draw would have been a fairer reflection in a  game between two well matched teams.

Great support from the Red Army.

[Southport Red]

When will we get a decent ref?

[ralphindevon]

Another overall good performance, especially the 2nd half. Next season we’re due so much off the luck gods

[BCFC Grim]

Get your kids off the pitch you ******* morons.

[Red Army 75]

2 poor goals to concede, would of been happy with a point, so frustrating 

[HappyClapper]

Shame about the result but we played well. Enjoyed our performance. Lots to be pleased about.

[old_eastender]

Shame, Semenyo had a poor night consistently failing to control the ball.

Draw would have been a fair result, but undone by HNMs individual error. 

Scott excellent again, Williams looked class after he came on too - need to get him fully fit.

It is very odd the level of refereeing we are getting at the moment. Haven't noticed it as bad as this for a long time. Still don't get penalties.

Not again, embarrassing 

[cityexile]

Shame. Pushing for a winner and left ourselves open. Much better second half, a bit like Saturday a draw would not have been an unfair result overall, but it is what it is. They took their chances just that little bit better on the day.

[Andrew_V1]

Can we just end the season now?

We really need to get some more mentally stronger players in the summer and we’ll be decent.

for all our promise it is no coincidence we keep making stupid errors so we need to cut those who can’t keep their heads over 90+mins

[Bcfc3660]

Shame but what a good performance by the reds. Looking back to what we have played like in months gone past and it is a huge improvement. Next season going to be a good season.

I'll quite happily stand my ground here, I'd be interested to see the stats if someone can find them on how many passes he's given away this season that have resulted in breakway chances. Like I said, kids got tons of talent and I'm in no way saying he isn't good enough but he's really got some work to be done when it comes to some of his decision making when passing. The lad can hit passes some of us wouldn't see as possible which is what frustrates me so much when he makes silly mistakes that shouldn't be happening.

[Banjo Red]

Some of these players are not up to it I'm afraid too many individual errors. We just roll over belly up it's pathetic, there are some very gifted players but it's costing us week in week out.

1w and 1l better than 2 draws I guess.

[Slippin cider]

After a good performance we get punished as usual from an individual mistake …such a shame . 

[Gazred]

Have to say i feel slightly robbed of at least a point tonight. We make mistakes but get fully punished every time. No luck on pen shouts as we well know either.

In fairness to HNM he otherwise had a good game, esp. 2nd half when Scott sat.

We don’t deserve that yet it’s something that happens far to often. We just don’t have the quality to see out games at this level . I appreciate it was a slip, but it’s simply a lack of concentration once again 

It’s like Groundhog Day with this lot 

 

Spot on, unfortunately.

[pillred]

We somehow have to get this monkey off of our backs I'm sure if we are expecting it the players if they were honest probably are as well it just happens too often to be unlucky.

Hnm gave the ball away constantly was short on his passing throughout thought he was awful.
