A very Wednesday performance so far. Doing ok, but lacking punch up front and conceded from a corner.

So nearly moments but look vulnerable if they can get possession 40 yards from goal

Well, we've stayed in a game which we were bang average for most of it, up until that last 5 mins when we found a second wind.. Again. And that first 15 of extra time we' were arguably better. 

Posted

A little frustrating.. We did well to get back into it and not give up, but Jamal Lowe should arguably have shot right at the death of extra time, he was through and for some reason cut back... Get your bloody shot away lad!

His pen.. Colin West would have been proud. 

Shame really as I thought he showed some lovely touches and awareness besides that!

Time to put this one to bed now.

Starting them both weakens us and sets the tone of the game which is then difficult to shake off.

We did eventually get back into the game when one was removed.

Why can't they have a half apiece with Ingelsson or Kobacki standing in for the other one. Within 2/3 minutes of coming on Kobacki showed what he offers over and above the other two.

So much better to bring a fresh one on when the oppo's defence is tiring.

I'm convinced we win that game if we don't start both together.

Also, WTF we doing letting forwards take pens? Jordan Rhodes knew the score.

Still, not the end of the world and got a couple of returning players a run out and an additional 30 mins as well.

I'd have liked a win but not too disappointed.

Apologies if this post is a duplicate.

Almost a microcosm of the season the entire game. 

Play ok but nowt special 

Look poor defending corners 

Concede from a corner

Concede first again

Look average when Ugbo, Musaba and Gassama start

Awful quality in the final 3rd.

Keep fighting though

Equaliser late on

Chances to snatch it but poor choices in good areas 

Both Charles' played well

Do you know the earliest goal that either have scored this season? 

Gassama on 45+2 minutes. They're both second half players, fresh from the bench. OK, I know they haven't been starting all games but you have to look at the stats. Just no use pitching either against fresh championship defenders in my opinion. Bring either or both on in the second half when the oppo's defenders are breathing through their arses.

Tonight Coventry played a high line and should have been ripped to bits by either, but no, they weren't. They'll not both start next week, in fact neither should start at all. Ingelsson and Kobacki for me.

We got we deserved, nothing. I’m not too disappointed though, but never like losing.

The goal that they had disallowed near the end of the 90 Id be very unhappy about if it was ours, PC wasn’t fouled - that time anyway.

I can’t understand why Icky didn’t start, and thats not having a go at Otegbago. It’s IF and BUTs, but I don’t think we concede that 1st half goal because Icky won everything. 
The positive is we are way better than what we did against them last season and thats taking into account that I don’t think they are as good as they were last season.

I thought we got it spot on as an away side.

The ONLY thing that let us down was that little bit of cuteness when creating the overloads. I felt sorry for Gassama and Musaba in the first half because they were getting in behind time and time again to have the pass either go long or have them checking the run. Which was also hindered by the ball into Ugbo just not sticking.

It improved with Bannan and Windass coming on, but then, the issue became the final ball not being right.

Interesting comments from Rohl afterwards, it sounds like we have players ready to come in, and who want to come.

Won't be put to bed if you keep getting it out again.It's  horses for courses. Those two were excellent against Millwall for example. Pity others didn't step up as well as they did.

So, two creditable draws and we are out of both cups on pens, no disgrace there, in a better than expected position in the league poised to push on, the right additions in the pipeline, seemingly. I reckon DC is about to pull the proverbial ‘rabbit’ therefore can’t wait for the 15th. All systems go for the play off push. FWIW I’d start Gassama every game with Musaba as an impact sub 60-70 mins in 👍

Gassama certainly a starter for me injury/fatigue permitting  Last season Musaba was more effective. There will be occasions when Ròhl will play both; it just won't be every game. He knows what he's  doing. 

I do expect DC to back Danny re  transfers too.

Goal aside Musaba offered little imo and I was amazed it was Gassama who was hooked. Kobacki looked the business when he came on though.

Ref was fucking dreadful, fell all over himself to give penalties when we played Cardiff last season. Wasn't even giving fouls today...

We need to get to a point though where we aren't wasting 3 subs per game picking the side that should have started.

I think I’ve had a bit of an epiphany today for me I wasn’t nervous I did care but wasn’t bothered about the result. Spending all day with my kids having a laugh and having lunch and a drink. Being with all the other fans was just class today I don’t think I’ve ever been to an away match that we’ve lost and enjoyed it so much. Just proud to be a Wednesdayite today we are just a class above. Goodnight everyone 🫡💙💙💙🦉🦉🦉

Happy Happyowl

One perhaps player superstition moment last night. So Lowe started captain, Bannan took it when coming on as a sub, but Windass had it on for the penalties.

Bannan took it when he came on, but passed it straight to Windass then. It didn't happen later.

Disappointed to go out but not the end of the world, as always penalties are just a lottery. 

Thought we played some nice stuff at times but let down in final third with players making wrong decisions.

Gassama will start if fit I'm sure. Rightly so

I'm not sure what people see in Kobiacki tbh?

No real pace 

No real dribbling ability

Dodgy 1st touch

That yesterday when he got played in his 1st touch was embarrassing and it was a golden chance for a goal messed up.

Hopefully he improves but shouldn't imo be anywhere near a start yet.

Think you are being a bit harsh.

What he does do is get in very good positions but quite often doesn't make the right decision.  Probably still a bit overawed being in the team but think there is a player in there.

Yes I'd agree that he is not ready yet but pre-injury he was starting to show something. Röhl has recently stressed the problems relating to getting players fully match ready mid-season. It's  not just fitness either of course. Regaining confidence and touch more often than not takes time. I think Röhl rates him and along with his support team will phase him back appropriately.

Within realistic boundaries, optimism trumps pessimism every time for me. I think the word embarrassing gets bandied about inappropriately quite often too.

As mentioned already Kobacki was starting to show signs of growing as a player pre injury. I thought on Saturday it looked like he was back to his initial outings. Flashes of decent positioning, but final ball missing / rustiness. 

I think it’s harsh to jump on him, after such a spell out injured. But, suppose like SOME people jumped all Jamal Lowe, there’s got to be a fall guy it seems.
