Match Threads Coventry vs Spurs

[PLTuck]

Skin of our teeth.

We were second best for most of that.

 

[Misfit]

However disappointed DS must have been about the Europa decision, that's how you bloody answer.

He just has to keep performing whenever given a chance and he'll force a decision in time. Been very impressed throughout the summer with him when it looked like it was over before it even started at the beginning.

 

[Garbob]

Didn't look like Johnson wanted to celebrate with the fans there....?

Don’t blame him tbh

 

[dannyo]

Fair play to Maddison and Kulu for coming on and changing the game but we were so bad tonight.

Really pleased for Johnson, even though he wasn’t good again tonight.

Hopefully turning that around changes our mindset going into Saturday’s game

He's not a touchline winger. He's always had that in his locker, and it's why he played a lot up front at Forrest.

He's not a creator from the wing. People need to look at the stats, well and the eye test. He's a final ball, when it's on, and a finisher.

Glad we are through but disgraceful performance for 80minutes. Were it not for kulu and spence we would be going out and completely outplayed by an average championship team. This was our worst perfomance of the season and the bergvall and solanke subs were completely baffling by ange.

 

[HildoSpur]

Anyone else not celebrate either goal?

How can't you celebrate a last minute winner? What the fuck!?

 

[Metalhead]

Ange looks really worried tonight , not happy.

Maybe he was deep down thinking if we lose this I could be a dead man walking.

Maybe he was flicking through this thread.

 

[Cochise]

I was happy when we signed him for that reason.

I always felt he showed something at Forest.

I just underestimated how much Ange insisted on wingers that hug the line

Firstly I agree with your assessment of Johnson. His natural game is not where we are using him.

We once again come back to the same thing, a system coach wanting specific players and being given an approximation of that.

It's also why I think a more pragmatic coach might end up coming in at some point, as they will look at the tools they have and build something with them.

 

[worcestersauce]

Sarr looks a shadow of the all action midfielder he was.

It's hard to play to your strengths when your strength is box to box and your team are playing almost entirely in the opposition half.

 

[Bobbins]

One thing I can't understand - why was the ground so empty? Where were the Coventry fans?

 

[Hazelton]

Could be a Mark Robins moment against Mark Robins.

 

[mark87]

Okay, now gonna watch highlights and interviews for the next hour after that masterful display until I go to bed.

 

[goughie1966]

Coventry

 

[werty]

If this game isn't the catalyst for change then I don't know what will.

 

[murichej]

Djed was immense even before the goal tbf

 

[rossdapep]

Yeah id honestly rather put Johnson on the left and Spence on the right if we have to rather than Werner.

Werner on the left and Johnson the right means we have 2 wide players that cannot beat their defender and one of them is allergic to goals.

Werner should only come on late or if all of our runner type wingers are out.

 

[Finchyid]

Brennan didn’t want to acknowledge the fans there, that’s sad to see

Not surprising

 

[oobaties]

Sign of champions!

 

[faze_coys]

Real shame Spence isn't in the Europa squad.

makes it even more disgraceful that Ange didn’t start him tonight
