Sky Blues Match Thread

Even first half, we had are best spell first 15 minutes. we showed some nice intricate passing at times.Second half we worryingly showed nothing going forward and Coventry did enough to earn the win. I like Smyth's pace but it made us go too direct at times rather than usual are wingers. I too think we lack in central midfielder but don't know the answer. Tonight it feels like it will be battle to Scramble the necessary points to stay up. But let's not forget to do this would be a good achievement for our club in its first season in around 60 years back in the 3rd tier.

Yup, sadly it was ****e today.
Can’t ever recall a match where we had zero chances (I missed the first 12 mins due to traffic). It wasn’t helped by the number of times our players were shoved in the back. Yes, the ref gave fouls every time but I think Stanley play for those fouls too much.

Passing was poor, our best players (Finley and Clark) couldn’t get into the game.
Think Zanzala for Smyth may have been a better option. Armstrong looks very ordinary to me.

Who got MOTM? A tough one that. I thought Johnson looked very good at times, but aware that late on we got opened up a lot on his side.
 
I have just checked up 3 wins in the last 19 league games (since Peterborough away in october) shows the scale of the task ahead in getting the 12/15 points required for survival!

A quick comment on the state of the pitch yesterday it was awful now I know the club are doing their best to secure King George's on a lease so as to have a training base sonner this happens the better I believe the lads had to train on the pitch 3 times last week and all that money spent on it seems such a shame and it doesn't help our style of passing game.I am sure we will stay up but lets hope the training facilities are sorted sooner rather than later then our surface can stay at it's best.

Janoi ......... dont know how but having said that who else ?
 
Have just listened to J,Cs after game video, and cannot agree! is it not sensible the fact we need points and were home, that we should start with more attackers going for broke? i would think so. putting em on late is way too dodgy in my view.

Can I ask, who and what formation would you have started with yesterday then?
I actually thought the starting 11 yesterday was more attacking than recent weeks.

Personally would have started with a big lad assisting billy up front, it would be more beneficial in my view, then at half time would defo have brought another attacker on, cos after first 10 mins or so we never looked like scoring.its points we need and should use the best way to get em.

Easy to criticise after the event. Yes we weren’t good at all yesterday however I guarantee if Smyth was dropped then you 100% would have had a moan about that.
We were poor yesterday and there were many thing not very good and worrying, but the team selection particularly the strikers weren’t a worry for me pre match.

I'm afraid he's a very stubborn man but it might be his downfall. Looking at our run in hard to find where we will pick up points.

Stubborn in what way? Who would you have dropped yesterday? Is this the same stubborness that has got us promoted to League One and still in a great position to maintain that position!!

Your fifth post and I'm impressed by your perspicacity already... keep it up !.

On STANLEY ... ON TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !
 
Why drop big Ben and put the Dom at CB ? He's not even a CB.he got promoted last season that's history now.it what he does this season that's important and he leaves it late to make subs if any at all.
 
So why did we go to Coventry 17/18 and play them of the park won 2 nill.lineup A.Chapman.k.Jackson.L.Nolan.s.Connelly.H.Rodgers.j.Dunne. then at the weekend dismal display.Evtimdv.Donacien.Gibson.zanzla.Finley.Barlaser.Smyth.Armstrong. that's history son
 
I wasn’t going to post this but...For anyone that doesn’t know, I was mascot at the game on Saturday after my mates had stitched me up into doing it for my birthday after them raising £500 for charity, A charity that Ex Stanley player Paul Howarth set up!

I’ve raised £1175 so far but would ask if anyone has any spare change to please donate what/if they can!

On Donician,s Wikipedia profile he is described as a right back/centre back were does Coley play him left back were for 2 seasons was constantly our best player maybe John thinks he is Mr versatile don,t know I quite like Big Ben but he just had 2 shocking games previously we are missing young Sykes in there but that aside Saturday was just woeful football to watch from both sides how Robins can say they played well is beyond me.
