[petehinton]

Well now everyone can see us without Naismith at least!

[Ecko]

Joe Williams is not good enough.

He is so shite 

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this. He is terrible

Williams seems to have come on wearing someone else’s boots

Terrible FK from Williams straight thru to the keeper. 

and now he receives a short corner and passes it to nobody, Christ he cannot see to buy a decent pass these days

[AshtonRobin21]

Why are we so consistently poor from corners? 

Constantly seem to play it short all the time. Seems like a waste of a good opportunity.

I’d rather have seen it without being Andy King as his replacement

He lost his footing on that cross 

Hard to get up to speed so quickly that late in the half 

I'm sure he'll be back to his best in the second half 

[Super]

What a boring half. Awful

[old_eastender]

Decent play by Sykes, but then another poor cross straight to their keeper.

[Jerseybean]

First half thoughts - we’ve lacked urgency and been sloppy. They are set up to play on the counter-attack and we are simply too pedestrian, giving them every chance to get organised.

On the couple of occasions when we’ve found a pocket of space in attacking situations AS has lacked composure.

Poor half from us overall.

There's been a lot of those.

[cityexile]

Played ok, edged it, but both sides created very little good chances really. Coventry will be happy enough and both sides will feel it’s there to be won.

[ExiledAjax]

Not the most scintillating 45 minutes. But we dominated possession, had the best chance of the game, and Bentley must be very bored.

Keep chipping away and something should fall for us.

Best? He does nothing in every game.

We aren't playing well, we aren't playing shit. Just ******* meh.

Am not a fan of semenyo drifting out wide constantly leaving wells alone constantly 

[DaveInSA]

I'd really really really like to see Jay Dasilva just play. Please Jay. You have so much talent and you're not showing it. Just play. Skin your man and put the ball in the box.

[TinMan's left peg]

Missing Scott’s quality a bit

Poor half from us overall.

Sadly so, Weimann at least started getting into the game in last 15 mins. Sykes & Dasilva both really disappointing and Williams (who had a mare against QPR) been woeful since coming on.

Needs must I guess, unless they go 442, with Tanner coming on for King. 

[Northern Red]

Williams in for Naismith as whipping boy then.

Still maintain he is a a lazy ba5tard. Never tracks back.......

[Fordy62]

I hate to buck the trend but we’ve looked ok. Dominated the half without looking especially dangerous. I think if we performed like this last season we’d all be very happy, we’ve just been a bit spoiled this season. 

B- good effort but can do better. 

[Ska Junkie]

That was not the most exciting half of football we've played lately, I must say. 

[Daniro]

Weimann is being wasted.   He seems to have bags of space and waves his arms around but he's not being picked out.

 

Terrible passing all round too ansmd we are too slow

[ralphindevon]

A bit more composure in the final third and we can win this comfortably.

I think we’ve done ok and aren’t far off the mark

if you thought THAT was awful, you never watched on saturday.

[Midlands Robin]

Just logged in to say what a dull, low on quality, first half that was but I see I've been beaten to it.

God, I hope the second half is better.

[AshtonRobin21]

Really frustrating to watch again. 

We are so slow in possession. Massengo in particular seems to take an age to pass the ball. 

I've lost count of how many times we have attempted to cross the ball to Dasilva. I think Jay's won a grand total of 2 headers during his entire career. 

When teams sit back into a low-block, we seem to run out of ideas. 

Semenyo was practically a centre midfielder during that half. 

We had the bulk of possession, but did absolutely nothing with it.

Think you’ve got to give Williams a bit of time to get up to speed in the game. Let’s see what he does in the 2nd half. I like him but I think sometimes he’s the victim of the way we play in midfield and with us struggling when teams put the extra man in midfield as QPR did
