Does anyone actually believe this team is good enough for the EPL. Is it better than the team that got itself relegated outside of the goalkeeper? I think next year looking set to be a lot of heavy 4 goal plus thrashings and easy pickings as we struggle to pass beyond the half way line with our 10 man back line.

Easy in the end for Coventry.

Just proves 25 yard defending for an entire half is shit tactics.

Is anyone actually surprised that deep defending for 35 minutes doesn't work?

Coventry could sub their goalkeeper for another attacker.

3 against 4 in attack and we manage to get the ball back to our goalkeeper, Jesus wept.

No way we aren't going to concede if we have the team standing within 25 yards of our own goal when they have possession.

Both

On the sloppy scale it 's a good 9 at the moment

That's a mean sun, I think its the sun. Not something I've seen much of lately. You'd think they would be doing high balls this half.

Italian lad looking slow and ponderous.

Anything Alan Smith says.

One second later

He didn't even jump out of the way of their first goal that game. If you saw this you'd say dead cert to save but no, it ended up in the net for the Bournemouth equaliser. Pure class.

The third 'I'll wave at the ball after its gone past' was actually much worse.

Danny Ward had the worst shot stopper stats in the EPL last season by some way. Letting twice as many goal bound shots fly past him than the best keepers in the league. Ward, personally was worth the equivalent of 7 own goals to the opponents last season by his unrivalled inability to stop a ball. So, Sheffield United must have a really bad GK today if they see Ward as an upgrade.

After life, the sporting short life, rugby players seem to adapt a lot better then football players. Maybe its an education thing as Rugby tends to be a posh boy game with the former players more capable of going on to have successful companies or careers. For less academically gifted footballers with no prospect in punditry then it is easy to see how they can get lost in their late 30's without a stable family behind them. It only goes to prove money isn't the pathway to happiness, though we know a lack of it is a cert for misery. The football league or the PFA players union needs to do more for its retired members. Retiring executives get sent on gardening leave courses to prepare them for a dramatic life change from being centre stage important to irrelevant in but a brief moment.

The Times has suggested Nottingham Forest could be the next points deducted outfit for FFP break in 2022 with a possible penalty of up to 12 points deducted. Hopefully that'll happen next season.

We knew Ward was bad but not to even manage a cup run out he has to be on gardening leave. Jakub Stolarczyk had a decent game.

I still struggle with Matt Elliot's Scottish accent.

That was too easy - just the way we like it.

Best write up of the game: "Some eyebrows were raised that both sides chose to wear shirts with different forms of blue as the main colour, but it was not overly difficult to decipher who was who for large parts – Leicester were the team with the ball."

Streams are doing my head in, I'll check back in in an hour.

Ref was looking to the line asking please make it offside - strange

Those team strips are so similar in black & white
