* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Coventry Match-Day Thread and Review of The Year *

[Ratedr69]

Would love to find out why we get so many injuries and so little information. Hopefully an investigation is under way…

Left back for a left back. Unbelievable. Greenwood should have been hooked at half time.

Absolutely. How is that going to change the game. It’s baffling really.

 

[Laughing]

Why?

I suspect the idiotic comment about Carrick being afraid of the bench.

 

[dooderooni]

I'm in the same boat as Chappy, can't really get angry that a side that missed out last year has made tactical changes after a first half chasing.

 

[LessoftheLip]

And our set piece king is having another shocker.

 

[Otto42]

Rogers has played well. Not sure about Greenwood!

 

[Jonathan]

Absolutely. How is that going to change the game. It’s baffling really.

How are any of the subs we're able to name today going to change the game. Don't know what people are surprised about now of all times regarding subs being made or not, we have nobody of note to bring on.

I suspect the idiotic comment about Carrick being afraid of the bench.

Well he’s not really using it. Bringing on a defender when we are 2 goals down is mental

I presume you mean Barlaser, he’s played some wonderful balls.

There’s always a tendency in this modern world for a kneejerk reaction to almost everything.

On balance, we have a very depleted squad that even before this injury crisis was relatively inexperienced. Inconsistency should be expected this season imo

How do you know if they don’t get the chance

 

[Otto42]

They are just that bit more clinical than us aren’t they.

The comment was made before any subs.

 

[Ipad1977]

They are just that bit more clinical than us aren’t they.

And they have a much stronger bench to utilise when they need fresh legs.

It's not rocket science that when this injury crisis really began to bite is exactly when we went from a second half team to a first half team in general, just one that isn't as clinical in front of goal.

Wish they would have told me that before I renewed my ticket lol

This thread today epitomises that, everyone conveniently forgets how well we played first half and the fact we’ve played five games in about 11 days with little option to freshen it up!

 

[RedAsABeetroot]

Feels like Coventry are starting to become a real bogey team for us.

 

[MidlandsBoroFan]

I’m normally screaming at Carrick to make substitutions, but he has absolutely no options today.

Season far from over, but it will be if we don’t get things right in January.

You didn't know that before you renewed?

Out first team wouldn’t have beat these, they know how to play us - sit back. Watch us shoot a few times from outside the box then over power us. Happens every time
