We weren't playing 5 at the back. THB pushed up into midfield and both Manning and Fellows were playing as wingers.

How much longer do we give him? He was anonymous when he came on today. I know Cov were playing a compact deep defensive shape by then, but he was appalling. Did nothing of any note whatsoever. Despite very occasionally showing a decent finishing ability, he's been a truly dreadful signing so far. I thought he might fare better in the Championship than he did last season, but if anything he's even worse now having dropped down a level. I'd be looking to ship him out at the first possible opportunity, personally.

Please, please, pleeeeeeease can we sign a competent LB? I'm so fucking sick of watching Manning barely even pretending to be one, it's really not even funny anymore. His contribution to the Coventry goal today was beyond inept.

From what he said afterwards it was more the individual abuse he was getting from the fans behind the dugout rather than any chants.

Cam Archer... Just why?

That's not what I saw. THB was pushed right up and involved in a lot of our build up play from a midfield position.

TBF he looks it as well.

Hmmmm. We're still only capable of winning, or even scoring, when the other team plays right into our hands and falls for our pressing traps then.

When was the last time a keeper was penalised for fouling another keeper I wonder?

You're obviously watching a different game from me then. Fellows and Manning are not playing at the back, they are much higher up and effectively wingers. THB is pushing right up as well. There is just no way you can describe this as a back five.

No we're not! It's a back 3 FFS.

It's quite obviously not 5 at the back though. Fellows and Manning are effectively playing as wingers now.

It's ok, the absolute unit that is Archer is coming on to get on the end of them.

As long as we get the wing backs pushing up more then I'm ok with keeping with the 3 CBs I suppose. With Fellows on for Welington now he can get forward a lot more and THB can cover the RB position.

Fellows getting ready

Let's wait and see how long it takes TE to react. When Leicester went down to ten we persisted with 3 CBs for a further ten minutes before making any changes.

Cov down to ten. Game over then.

Appointing Tonda you mean? I'm inclined to agree with you.

I guess when THB falls on the back of Wright's calf. But if Baz had better reactions and had come out sooner then it would already be in his hands by then and there's not even a debate to be had.

Undoubtedly the worst in my lifetime. Even Danny Fox occasionally managed to be in the right place to stop a cross. Manning just wanders around in no-mannings-land completely oblivious of what's going on around him.

Quarshie has done OK today. Bailed Manning out a couple of times with his recovery pace.

Just watch Manning jogging around marking nobody in the build up to that. He's just so utterly fucking shit it's quite unbelievable.

Manning is having a mare even by his standards. Oh fuck.

What's Fwank so upset about?

Glacial reaction from him as usual.
