Of all the spawny goals in all of the world, Coventry just scored one of them.

[Lord Snooty]

Worst first half of the season. Get Warnock on WhatsApp.

[theo_luddite]

Aye, we've been middlin' at best. Wonder how far down his cigar Warnock has got. We barely look like we're gonna get out of our own half.

This is more like it. Not sure why Koroma has been on the right so far. Looks like he'll be out left with Sorba coming on. Still not working their keeper enough for all our possession though.

[theo_luddite]

I'll take that point, better all round 2nd half.

[Lord Snooty]

Never in doubt.

Did we deserve it, on first half performance definitely not. Second half we came into it more and tried attacking. Need something in the final third though but we've all known that for a fair while now.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone like Lyle Taylor turns up here

[Lord Snooty]

Don't need another striker. Just play Helik there.

What a classy finish that was.

[SHEP_HTAFC]

That was a brilliant equaliser. Commentators didn't give it enough praise.
Fully deserved on 2nd half performance. 1st half dire. Why Thomas didn't play from start is puzzling.
Rudoni is no Thomas when it comes to set piece delivery.

[Lord Snooty]

Thomas is very hit and miss at the moment. Warnock rightly took him off against Stoke at half time and replace him with Jackson.

But then Moore started Jackson and his mistake costs us a goal. Sorbs then come on the is brilliant.

Funny old game.

Well as only a fond observer rather than an actual supporter I thought that in the first half you were well-organised in general, but had very little way or intention of going forward, so your two men up front were marooned.

Second half you improved massively, just because you were trying to get forward. Finally nice Mr Moore looked into his tool box and realised his best player was a substitute, so he brought on Sorba Thomas. Rudoni on a dead ball is decent, but Sorba is a class above. The two of them worked together excellently and Coventry always looked like conceding once they came together. THEY made the goal, forget who scored it! You deserved a point, and though Coventry's goal was lucky from Ayari's point of view, Ellis Simms' effort deserved a reward.

I note you still seem to think that because Hudlin is 9' 6" tall you should aim the ball at his head. He will win some headers, but he likes the ball at his feet and does have some skill (even if I'm convinced he's no more than a non-leaguer in terms of overall ability). Harratt doesn't really look the part to me though.

I also noticed that in the first half you had about five throw-ins in a short time down Coventry's left, your right. Pearson took them all. None found a Huddersfield player, and to be fair no-one seemed to be making a move to give him a chance. Taking into account that these days most teams are ever-ready to work the ball back all the way to their own passing keeper in order to retain possession, can you afford to be this profligate when you've got the ball away from home?

But I thought you were decent. You do need a better link between midfield and forwards. Hogg doesn't do that and Wiles didn't look much like doing it. Headley and Jackson tried to make up for it, but didn't quite make it. With Rudoni and Thomas on the field there was a real link, but by then the man who might have profited (Koroma) was back on his bottom. Nevertheless, a basket case you are not. There's promise. And if the crowd could just roar in expectation every time Thomas and Rudoni get on the ball, that might take you well up the table. Skilful players need to feel loved and appreciated, so that they won't be afraid occasionally to fail.
