rubbish. and its farkes fault. way too many attackers on. gruev off was a huge error. Still, got away with it. need to watch Southampton though

Told you to watch Southampton as they have no pressure and the other 3 do.
I didn`t watch the game as travelling down to Norwich.
Our last 2 games have been an absolute disaster.
6 points from those 2 and we are almost home and dry.
Seems teams that park the bus have us baffled.
As I said I didn`t watch the game but taking Gruev off was a bad move imo.
Play Piroe in midfield with Josephs up front and leave Rutter on the bench.

I`m sure Coventry have something like 4 games in 9 days including their FA Cup game culminating in their 4th game against Ipswich.
Not sure Coventry will be able to walk by then never mind play a game of football.
We need both Ipswich and Leicester to lose their next 2 and for us to win both of ours which considering we can`t score against Sunderland and Blackburn it`s going to be a big ask.

Yeah strange one that unless his fitness levels were flagging. He took gnonto off as he was blowing he said. Big big big week of training ahead. We’re still one win with an Ipswich loss and it’s in our hands again.

Not the best result or performance - could it be that teams are finding it easier to nullify certain players. Sommerville has been ineffective for weeks - playing a right footed player on the left is surely easy to defend against as you know he has come inside? Rutter as also struggled - perhaps he needs to simplify his game perhaps focusing on retaining possession rather than trying to bamboozle other players with his skill level.

Farke plays in a negative fashion this is hard when teams play for a draw - Farke plays with midfielders who are not creative that presents its own issues especially when Pablo-like creativity is required.

Onwards and upwards only three games left but if they don't find a way to start scoring this season is going to end in disappointment.

Assuming we miss automatic promotion, are we could enough to win the play offs ? . Yesterday I thought the defender grappling with bamford might have resulted in a penalty.. Whilst not a slam dunk penalty, have seen lots award In similar circumstances.

seen most games this year and we've played worse and lost.
the final ball was poor all game.
the refs in the last 2 games have been appalling also. its still there. just need to get more clinical

Definitely good enough to win playoffs no doubt. They’ve bags of quality, more than enough at this level as they’ve proven all year. Need to get that swagger back.

Watching the premier league title run in this aft and Liverpool doing a Leeds! Pressure gets to the best of them. Arsenal very nervy too so far.. amazing what it does to players

We weren't great yesterday but we still had enough chances to win that game.

Gruev Gnonto and Rutter off was the wrong choice. Gnonto was our biggest threat, Rutter was just starting to come into the game, and he may not have been playing great but he can create something out of nothing, Piroe should have gone off instead.

The ref was poop as usual, they were time wasting from the 12th minute and he should have stamped that out straight away. He also seemed to give them free kicks for soft challenges but we didn't get the same fouls. He want the reason we lost though.
