Well, we got a point
Coventry did us a favour I think as they looked to play the game to their strengths as opposed to playing to spoil our game. Made for a good game to watch though.
I reckon both pens were spot on though wondered for a while whether the ref was going to give ours.
Rodgers is a very static player with few challenges on loose or 50/50 balls. He then fucks up my dislike of him by making some sublime passes.
Barry was a relatively ineffectual presence but saved himself in my eyes with a goal line clearance in the first half.
Brophy is going to be a real talent. Not surprised he gets subbed off. Young and easily tired and we need to protect and nurture him. he will be the next 6 figure plus transfer out.
Gladwin took his goal very well and I like his industry and 'fuck you' tenacity. Yes, he gets dispossessed occasionally but he keeps trying. I think he is a better footballer than he was when he left us.
Their two goals?
The first was from a cross that should never have been put in. Our players too slow to chase it down- expecting it to go out for a goal kick? Vigs had no choice but to try for it once it was floating. Perhaps Turnbull or 6 pack should have shouted.
The second- well saved penalty by Vigs. Why were our defence last to react? Our penalty practice should include defending pens by starting a run from well outside the area so that we have a good head of steam up when Vigs gets to the ball and can't hang on. I think that is 3 he has saved since he joined us.
Overall a good battling performance and something to build on.
