OttawaSaint Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Cov goal pretty much came from Armstrong not having the confidence or conviction to take on a shot and instead try a pass that didn't work. Then we were on our heels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Wrong choice from Armstrong. redmond was in acres of space in the middle. He looks like he's trying too hard to impress at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very right reverend Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Hi There, lurker not a poster but could we have named a poorer side, why can't Hassenhutl just say we're going to gamble and pick a poor side as we need to stay in the Premier League and the FA Cup means little to us, that is modern football, and its getting further away from something that I loved.

benjii Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 (edited) Shockingly complacent team selection. Stupid from Ralph. If you pick a front 3 of Walcott, Long and Armstrong you are virtually guaranteeing a load of dross. Armstrong, Perraud, Adams and Salisu on for Walcott, Long, Stephens and Small. If Walcott comes out second half then Ralph out! Edited 5 February, 2022 by benjii 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Coventry are playing a league one team so no surprise they’re bossing the game. I don’t think I’ve seen a worse Saints performance other than the two 9-0 thrashings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too weak of a line up and that’s obviously down to the manager. They are contracted first team squad members of a Premier League team. Even if they are only good enough to be 'bit part' players at that level, they should still be better than a mid table Championship side, especially at home.

jasonb Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Saints struggling to break down a well organised and hard working Coventry side. They are playing nicely on the counter and No. 17 has held the ball up very well. Obviously a bit of a re-think required at HT because this isn't working.

Turkish Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Tactically brilliant from Ralph, an excellent first half with a bang on team selection and clever switch of tactic after Lyanco injury.

Mallagroth Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 The minute we switched formation we nullified their attack. Redmond immediately improves attack.
