Deary me what a hugely disappointing afternoon.
First of all, Coventry were outstanding, and played like a Premier League team at times. They found multiple ways to play through us and created plenty. They absolutely deserved it, fair play to them. I'm sure it was a great watch for the neutral!
But that defensive display was garbage. It's not like our injuries have decimated our backline, it's only Dawson who was missing today but time after time, individuals switch off, don't mark up, give attackers all the time in the world, stand off etc etc. So many basic errors - I thought we'd got lucky for a moment but nope, rather than slow the game down and play out the lead we'd undeservedly gained we defended like amateurs.
As with the 2nd half last week and again today, even with our best attacking players all missing we still look like scoring. We got the ball into some really promising areas even in the first half today. Crazy that we have this many injuries but the defence let us down yet again.
Good performances from Sa and RAN but too many off days otherwise, and another horror show from Doherty.
Fraser clearly isn't ready, but he's only just turned 19, way too early for us to expect much from him and he certainly can't be judged on the contributions he's had so far.
We've had a good season and we've got lots of highlights to choose from but today feels like a missed opportunity caused by our own lack of concentration and professionalism.
