He seems to be struggling today. Can’t fault his effort but need to be able to do the simple things

Good 10 minutes then opposition get more and more into the game, not a lot of difference to our other home games this season.

Coventry obviously raised their game for us. We will need to do the same second half. Wise words Joe, your first muddle

Home form has been dire recently, so I don't think its going to change over night, that being said I'll take any kind of win after that first half where played some good stuff early on, a bit to open and getting caught on the break.
This chat is as silent as inside the stadium
We really need a home win not sure if it is going to come today
Think Edwards will bring on Esse and Emakhu to inject some energy coz we look ponderous
We look better on the ball but creating little or nothing the players need a home win

As I’ve always said he’s playing out of position and will get exposed especially against a nippy winger.

Cov look bigger, stronger and quicker than us, Wallace getting torn apart, Bradshaw not in it.
Get Emakhu, Esse and Nesbit on

Worst atmosphere for a full house I’ve ever seen. Might as well be 4k here

Bit worried to be honest. Been caught on the counter attack four times and they should have scored three of those times with their players outnumbering ours every single time. The manager and the coaching staff must be able to see this and put a stop to it but it happened again and again.
Also, playing a higher defensive line means you are more on the front foot and aggressive when it come to pressing, but It also means that if your defenders are not quick then you are handing the opposition a huge advantage.
Plenty to sort out at half-time because we are extremely lucky to be only 1-0 down.

Wallace has been ripped to shreds but he has been given absolutely no help at all from Longman. I am a more than a bit worried at how naive we look defensively.

Ok my opinion, whatmore for flemming, Nisbet for Tom and Emakhu for Wallace and put longman left back

Apart from Honeymans shot that hit the post, and Sav's shot, the highlight of the first half has been Batesy on Millwall TV describing Sakamoto as " nippy".

Get Longman off, never seen what he brings to the team!
Have had a few texts from chaps at the game saying the same thing. Struggling to cope with their pace. There is hope yet, they haven't kept a clean sheet away from home all season,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Need a continuous monk's chant to lift the lads. Can't have that other mob singing louder than us.
