Two class performances from Snoddy & Howson, well worked goal crafted by Snoddy who planted the ball on Howson's head, similar move occurred again a few minutes later, Snoddy cross & looked a goal all the way when Howson headed the ball just past the post. Snoddy again caused mayhem when he ran at the Coventry defenders before producing a wonderful curling shot to make it 2-0. Gradel was also giving their right back a torrid time & won the penalty himself with his endeavour, Max shot us into a 3-1 lead from the spot. Becchio surprisingly won more headers v a bigger team, worked hard & was better
Faye also improved his performance after a poor display at Scunny. Killa was neat & tidy & produced a couple of decent passes into the channels, we look a better team with Killa, playing Faye too releases Howson to play in the hole & do what Jonny does best by making great runs into the box
As for our defence, Brown did well & made a really good save near the end to keep the scoreline 3-2, really impressed with Connolly who i think is a decent RB, McCartney did well, O'Brien was steady, Collins played to combat the ariel threat of the Sky Blues frontmen, NC looked a bit shaky at times. i do feel that Grayson made the right decision though as i reckon Bruce could have been bullied by the Cov strikers.
The first goal happened when we were down to 10 men after McCartney was made to go off after having the ball smacked into his face - What a stupid rule this is where teams are asked to defend with 10 men because of an injury. Coventry scored as McCartney looked on
We always look like we have goals in us but i worry about the fact that we struggle to keep a clean sheet, the game at 2-0 & 3-1 should have been killed off
