v Coventry City (a) - 18/10/25

[RevidgeBlue]

Playing quite well overall, the formation seems to suit us.

Wharton started shakily but won everything in the air last 5 mins or so when we've finally come under some pressure.

The only one who Id single out for criticism would be Gudjohnsen - he looks very half hearted and just hasnt contributed at all.

[Tom]

Again it seems like every chance we create is via Alebiousou

[Exiled_Rover]

Unbelievable save by their GK.

Also that corner from TGH was better than anything Cantwell has ever put in. 

[norwichblue]

Ohashi and Henrikson both close! Good showing so far. Well done boys.

[superniko]

We are such a weird team, often look far far too good to be anywhere near trouble, but we cannot score and always have the odd howler in us meaning we struggle for results.

A little rub of the green and we’d be a mid-table team this season - yet that feels so far away now 

[Exiled_Rover]

Is anyone else struggling with the referee in black against our dark green shirts?

It's cos we've got 9+ new players finding their feet in this league. They'll take time to settle.

We've been incredibly unlucky this season so I hope we scrape enough points to survive at this point. 

[StHelensRover]

9 shots so far, but none on target. 

[WacoRover]

Keep fighting the good fight, lads

A 5-0 defeat is a "result"

A bad one.

Cantwell missing is a blow This could be horrible.

Not sight yet among the fans here of a clever looking bloke with a beautiful woman.

Odd that

 

Not sure what this means Jim 🤷🏻‍♂️

[simongarnerisgod]

good half from us, keep up the insensity and we look good for a point

[Andy]

More possession, more shot, more clear cut chances - far better than I expected at HT.

We look much more suited to this formation in every department.
Very unlucky not to be a couple of goals up.

I think everyone has been very good so far.

Lets see if we maintain it into the second half.

[BankEnd Rover]

We look good and not for the first time away this season....We will huff n puff but quality is lacking, expect Coventry to step up this half.

Sorry, I lost internet for about 6 or 7 minutes during that half, when it came back on, the stats on screen said we'd had 9 shots with none on target, I didn't see Henriksson's effort. Then at HT the stats updated to reflect that shot.

[davulsukur]

Out of the bottom 3 on goal difference. 

Really need to get something here to avoid dropping into it.

[moerpho]

A lot better than expected. Missing Cantwell but we’re coping with it and could easily have been ahead at the break. 
 

Slightly impressed by Henriksson this half. Also think Wharton, Alebiosu, Ohashi and TGH have had a good half. Expected a trashing from Coventry so actually happy with that half. Bring on 2nd half. COYB!!

Another dodgy ref - Gudjohnsen gets fouled, play on. Their player throws himself the ground on the exact same challenge - foul.

Give over. He’s been the best referee at this level for a good while.

Don't agree with that stat - Ohashi had a goal bound header blocked and Henriksson had a shot that was going in saved.

Also Gudjohnssen completely miscued a great chance in front of goal and put another free header in front of goal out for a throw and Miller put a straightforward header over the bar.

We've had much the better of the chances , the obvious worry will be you'd expect Coventry to be much better second half.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

No doubt Coventry will get a half time Rocket up the Arse...Rovers so far better than expected.

The quality up front is severely lacking. 

[roversfan99]

Good away performance so far, it does feel a little disjointed and I think Coventry's momentum has been checked by the international break but weve still done well to limit them and have the odd chance on the counter.

Alebiosu again is really important to us. Gudjohnsen has been awful again, poor movement around the box and constantly losing the ball when it comes in to him. Hopefully jinxed for a winner.

[neophox]

We have been slightly better than a top of the table Coventry side...we do lack a good goalacorer but playing well without Cantwell.

 

[neophox]

Should Pape get  the chance second half?
