I feel I have to comment on the Coventry away fans. 👏👏👏👏👏
What a sound !!
Has to be one of the loudest bunch of fans I’ve heard at the stadium.
The one that kept going, with the drum beat was class.
I’m an old North bank boy that remembers the different chants and songs that were sung on it, the place would be rocking, and that would be with just 5000 if you were lucky.
Seems like now, we have 2 basics, Hymns & Arias, and The Swansea city song, plus a “Franko oh oh” thrown in for good measure.
Where’s the inventiveness gone ? like one of my old favourites ……
“Austin is our hero he’s solid as a rock, he plays in front of Willy, who’s got a massive c**k !”
This could have been written by Shakespeare himself !
I know our away supporters are miles better, because I’ve been there, so why can’t we have more of that away supporter vibe at home ?
They were annoyingly good yesterday. The creativity in our songs is crap.

We’ve had some fantastic songs over the years.
 
Haven’t seen any of it today so keep that in mind.

A lot of the criticism I’m seeing is about missed chances and the CB partnership which I think are things we’ve known for a while now. We know we aren’t clinical when it matters and that something isn’t quite right defensively so we just have to wait and see if all that gets addressed in the summer. I feel like Matos will know the areas to recruit for and hopefully we can come into next season a more well rounded outfit.

As for Grimes, he was always a fantastic midfielder at this level and it’s a real shame that we lost him after 10 years, that really shouldn’t be happening but there was clearly a lot of upheaval at the time. He is a huge miss for us though.

A lot who are critical on here cant have been watching either....our centre backs are not to blame for today. Fingers will point to Cabango for the penalty but it was never one. I ve watched it over and over....Cabango strikes the ball it travels backwards into thenpenalty box away from the Coventry player who slips as he tries to turn catching Cabango slightly.
The second goal is down to Eom messing about and not clearing his lines.

Lots of hand wringing but we lost ti the rumaway champions up to the pen we were the better side. As some one said goals change games we had chances but they werent converted....who knows what could have been had we gone one or two up.

Eom should've cleared the ball first time but that all came from Burgess giving the ball away yet again.
 
Didn’t watch most of the game so I’ll just say this….same old against the top sides , still five points required to allow the usual clowns on here the opportunity to gloat.

Think there is always going to be focus on the negatives after a loss like that, especially with the Grimes narrative in the background. Important to remember the positives as well though. Matos has us playing well in patches and any improvement to our set piece record is solely down to him because I don’t think we scored from one (in the league) until he came in.

We have more than enough to cling onto for hope going into next season.
 
The topic of away fans rumbles on...they should not have a key position behind our goal .. its been said time and time again. Our singers are wedged in the corner of the stadium with a few in the West corner.

With a bowl stadium it's easy to move away fans into corners. Leicester. Derby. Southampton, Stoke, Oxford, Norwich, Ipswich and Hull all push away fans into corners, even Cardiff do it.

Who will be the bright spark at the club to review this?
