You are right but to be fair he has been improving in this aspect since the early days. He is also less hesitant in taking on players and more direct at running with the ball. He has also improved the defensive side. I wasn’t sure when I first saw him in a city shirt but I have been increasingly impressed. Likewise Fatawu on the right but with a different trajectory.

This is really the crux of the season. Time to shine but I’d do feel less confident with players missing. Especially Wilf. Still an opportunity for others to step up.

I agree with all you say. We started ok but never showed enough intensity and speed in attack in their half even though we were breaking the lines well. Coventry did well second half and took advantage of the numerical advantage so fair play to them. Our defensive substitutions did invite them to play in our half.im not a fan of doing that. I hope we learn from that and move on quickly. The Ipswich game becomes even more important as do the upcoming Southampton and Leeds matches.

The red card was more over the top than the challenge. . You could see he was getting frustrated but he shouldn’t have given that daft tw*t of a referee a chance to card him. It was a yellow though. He is young but I can understand his frustration. He has been one of our best and most dangerous players all season but he hardly got a pass today. He kept showing but we seemed timid to give him a run with the ball. Instead of using him we kept turning inside or passing back. I shared his frustration. We will learn from this.

Learn from it and move on like we have before.

Feckin hell. It was coming.

Referee got the penalty right. Reckless challenge with studs up waist high. He went with the wrong leg. Actually catches kdh studs up when he takes an evasive jump. As for Fatawu it was a rash and poorly timed challenge but never a red. It wasn’t as bad as the penalty. Referee lost it there to appease the crowd.

Yep

Decent start by cesare. Winks really is a different class though in this division.

Doesn’t happen often in cov though does it.

Here we go. Lots of confidence and passion required COYB.

Great game. I remember fans singing the Harry McGuire song on the way out of the ground.

We will need them given the frequency of league games if we go on a cup run for sure.

Not a bad draw. Will be a good game at home and would be lovely to have a deep cup run again.

Jesus I wanted to say that. Rock on Tommy.

It really is. I’m running out for superlatives for this guy. Ok he is still a bit of a rough diamond but his work rate and attitude is inspiring. Just wish that shot had gone in (and the one against Leeds).

Yes I loved that when he returned the wave. A thoroughly professional and competent performance last night. I couldn’t fault anything really apart from my own screaming ‘give the ball to Fatawu’. Winning away at Cardiff on a cold night when we played only a few days earlier is no easy task and we made it look just that. Well done.

I like the lineup. Give Ricardo a bit of a rest and bring Justin back in. Strong bench.

Yes I was exactly the same. He was a bit too hesitant at times taking a player on or take a risk trusting his pace and strength. Now he seems more Confident in his ability and able to make better decisions. He is also much stronger in the tackle and much more effective in tracking back and defending. With him and Fatawu together I think we might have finally got the wingers we have been seeking for a few years now if they continue to progress.

Overall I’m a bit frustrated as I thought we looked really good at times in the first half against a decent side away. Second half we didn’t seem to consolidate this and I thought a draw was just about a fair result. I’m not too worried though as I think we didn’t lose ground to anyone but Southampton and put more distance between ourselves and Leeds which id have taken beforehand. I think we will learn a bit from that performance too.

I remember saying that a few years back after a similar performance. I don’t think Enzo will be so tolerant though if he is not getting results.

I think he has been playing well all season plus he seems to play with a smile which is great to see.

Well I think it just gives us clarity as to what to we need to do in the market if it was needed beforehand.

Only goes up to ten.

Love the way fatawu gets back and puts his body on the line for the team. What a player.
