SFC'S COVENTRY COMMENTARY AND COMMENTS...

Coventry attack Lancashire clears.

7 minutes left. I don't see us getting another goal, tbh.

Perry blocks attack..Coventry waste kick.

Coventry regaining control.

Saints press Surman shoots wide.

4 - 1

Oh bollocks, 4-1 game over.

Disaster. we were torn apart.

Games been over for a long time.

Coventry attack again shoot wide.

Saints go forward BWP misses.

Torn apart by Coventry, that's how far we have come down. After cause for optimism in our last couple of games, it's back to the same old crap again. It really isn't good enough. When will Saints get their shit together?

3 minutes extra

We will get games like this but we can get revenge in a couple of weeks at home.

Games over.

Final whistle - thank god. Well, that was a load of crap. Let's hope we can return the favour and give Coventry a thumping at SMS in a few weeks.

First goal should have been disallowed but Coventry missed a couple of good chances.

Graham my 5 year old is totally distraught. Sparkle has turned tv off in disgust at the poor performance.
Gillett return could be a positive.

was the ref bride by conventry???? x

two things today sum up our poor show .........tatics first half dreadfull and defence like i said before they are naive only good point we looked good going forward. other we had loads of shots on goal yet again. plus were playin them at home soon revange will be sweet.

We were dire when defending. Too often our defence was left alone to cope. This was partly because they stayed too far back. We were just not playing as a single unit. The first half had hardly any points that could be picked to encourage. The second was far better in that we did seem to be getting somewhere. Coventrys last 2 goals were made to look better by our lack of cohesion. We attacked and they simply caught us cold.With half of our team pressing their penalty area we were over run by a team not much better than us.
Surman scored a good header from a fortuitous mistimed shot. We also had a couple of good chances to at least work their goalie but wasted them.As we pressed harder and subbed three players it looked momentarily as though we might glean something from the game. Coventry struck with a well made 4th and it was caused simply through naivity and inexperience. The main difference was Coventry played as a unit and we didn't.
We have shown that we can play so now it is back to the drawing board. Passes must improve as must the capability of the team to work as a unit. A lot of our attacks were too predictable and slow. The team played at times in a go slow motion as though they were unsure as to what to do next. Now our boys have to regroup and show the strength of character needed to stay on a slightly upward slope. The biggest disappointment for me was that we don't seem to have a good strong leader. Someone who can gee up the lads and get them playing. If we need anything from the transfer market it is a leader.
It is a young team though and we should expect a few more games like this. As we win some and lose others we will no doubt see more highs and lows. We are on a very exciting roller coaster ride and one that will hopefully leave us safely ensconced near the middle of the table.
Today we are down but I have no doubt that we will all be smiling soon. COYR

bit harsh on lloyd james they always attacked down his flank he was left to deal withit

it was a bit hursh but cnt wait till conventry come dwn 2 our grounds nd play like 2 c them lose x
