Thought that was a massive improvement today. We were doing fine until Lewie went off and it all seemed to fall apart. Just seen the highlights, the goal looks even more horrific from our point of view than I thought it was. Cisse let the cross come in far too easily, and EEL with another howler. Overall I’m gutted but not disappointed with the performance.
I mean I don't want to spoil anyone's party, but we did only have 2 shots on target. I think it shows how bad things got under Robbie that this is seen as a good performance. I don't really think we were that good, and Coventry probably deserved to win with the chances they had.
Cissé at left back made no sense, especially seeing as DM knew that Lewington would only last an hour so he really should have thought it through.
Still, there are obviously positives: the passing game is definitely back and that was enjoyable to watch. I just hope we can find a way to create chances, something which we've struggled to do all season, especially without Aneke. Also, we had 10 corners and they were all shit - we have to sort out our abysmal corners with so much height in the team (Cissé, Ebanks-Landell, Sow and Wootton were all on the pitch at the same time).
I thought that Williams played well and put in some good crosses; if we had a good striker someone might have got on the end of them. I also liked Tavernier a lot, he looked promising in the first half and I hate how their players rolled around and surrounded the referee to try and get him sent off for nothing more than a mistimed challenge. A joke really.
