MATCH THREAD: " COVENTRY CITY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

First reaction was that the keeper could have done better for that. Need to see it again though. They are tearing us apart easily. Colwill sloppy so far. But it's still early. We've got the ball in the box a few times. Still plenty of opportunity

Good series of attacks for Bluebirds results in a corner...

A (sort of) overhead kick sees the keeper gather the ball and the attack is over...

LATEST: COVENTRY CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF

Coventry so threatening on the break.

Some nice build-up down the right from Dabo allows O'Hare to line up a shot just inside the area.

Blocked and sent behind for a corner.

Cardiff initially clear before the ball is sent towards Hyam at the far post from deep. Too hard. and it's a goal kick.

Meanwhile, another Vaulks long throw comes to nothing.

We play with wing backs who just sit on the half way and are reluctant to push on. Probably because our three centre half’s have zero pace.

Another tough watch tonight. Our two central players are outnumbered at every opportunity.

Coventry win another couple of corners.

The latest of whcih is headed away by Moore.

Dabo pings in a delicious looking cross from deep again.

It looks like it'll be another corner.

Offside.

Usual thing playing with our backs to their goal why cant we look to to get behind them?

There might be a few Swans fans asking where this Viktor Gyokeres was when he was with them.

He's proving a real headache for Cardiff tonight. Holds off Flint brilliantly to keep the ball in play.

Morrison eventually gets a foot in as the ball is squared to the outside of the D and Colwill is away.

Bagan evnetually puts a cross in, but it's far too heavy and sails into the arms of Moore.

Began having a bit of a mare but we’re not looking too bad generally.

Now it's Cardiff who win a corner.

Ng drives it in low towards Harris, but it's turned behind for a corner.

Vaulks puts it in, but Coventry clear their lines.

Began having a bit of a mare but we’re not looking too bad generally.

You watching the same game pal? We are awful and haven’t actually built up and decent momentum. One dimensional play all the time.

Coventry win a freekick out wide.

It's whipped in by Waghorn, but McFadzean gets the connection all wrong.

Goal kick.

We look panic stricken

H-T 1-0

Coventry the better side

City very poor so far. No pace in the team and Coventry dealing with the high balls into the box. Lets hope M Mc C can find a way to change things. But I don’t know if there is any pace/ creativity on the bench??

Colwill been very sloppy with his game Think he would be more effective coming down the middle rather than out wide

It’s hard watching at moment! No midfield, first touches are poor, passing woeful. However most away goals second half so fancy is for a point once changes are made

Coventry clearly had the better of the first half with Gykores looking very dangerous

The Bluebirds had their moments but the mamager will need to shake things up

HALF-TIME: COVENTRY CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Piss poor first half again, our standard of passing is non league and that is being complimentary. Flabbergasted at our passing tonight, simple 5 yard not even reaching half way they are that underhit

Apparently vaulks said to bench this is not working? At least someone can see it..

MR POTATO

What changes have you seen the bench 2 academy's

Its like a carbon copy of the Forest game first half. Slow ponderous and wasteful in possession. Lets just hope the second half is the same as forest too unfortunately Coventry are a much better team. The dreadful starting of matches is a legacy that goes back to Harris. Its shocking. My final point is Bagan need a rest. He looks more and more out of his depth each game. There is talent there but its being rushed at the moment. I'd rather play Brown there.

God help us Saturday is all I can say. Any team who love the ball around well will probably beat us. This back five doesn’t suit us but Mick the P***k won’t drop captain Marvel, Flint or Nelson (who has zero ability at this level) we are seriously lacking in midfield and it’s painfully obvious to see that the three wins we have had have papered over some serious cracks.

A few of you will say I’m overly critical but honestly? I don’t give a toss what you say or think.

The club needs a huge reset and unfortunately, some of you may not like this but Mick isn’t the man for the job.

What changes have you seen the bench 2 academy's

Eh...?

Let's see what happens 2nd half, MM needs to change it up though.

Just realized, Barry Welsh hasn't made an appearance.

Bench looks very weak 2 youngsters bowen evans and 3 defenders oh and sleepy Collins

Apparently vaulks said to bench this is not working? At least someone can see it..

Possibly when we stopped taking long throws.

Are we ever going to score before half time?

Not a single ball of quality into the box for KM, very little on bench to change so it has to be a change of formation

Piss poor first half again, our standard of passing is non league and that is being complimentary. Flabbergasted at our passing tonight, simple 5 yard not even reaching half way they are that underhit

Anti football again

Very very poor 1st half and no complaints about the score. For me we look a disorganised rabble and seriously cannot see where we can get back into this.

Score the next goal mind and like Sunday it could be game on.
