Coventry vs Bristol Rovers Match Thread by GGMI©

Couldn't make it today because of other commitments that were unavoidable.

Didn't listen to the first half but managed to catch the second 45 mins commentary.

I have a number of queries. Why did DC make 2 subs at the start of the second half? We had gone in level, so unless there was an injury involved, why use 2/3 of your subs without seeing how the second half was panning out? I seem to recall him saying that, having royally c0cked up the subs against Charlton at home, he had learned his lesson and wouldn't make the same mistake again. A point away from home is no bad thing. It's certainly better than no point. As a result of that foolish attempt to chase the game he had a major problem when Burn got injured, the defence was unbalanced and it's no surprise that Coventry scored after that substitution.

My last point is the impression I got was that James was continually beaten to the ball and dumped on his arse, whilst Moore lost the ball virtually every time he got the ball.

2 weak links I fear. I sometime wonder if DC is too stubborn for his own good. If the players you signed prove to be not good enough you can leave them out then move them on! We expect and will forgive the occasional mistake with regards to player recruitment. Please don't persist with players that can't reach the required levels because you think you are saving face. We would rather you move them on and replace them.

With the backing he now has I think it's time to stop shopping for players in the equivalent of Poundland and start looking in John Lewis.

There is no evidence that the board are willing to sanction the signing of players that could command a good salary or a substantial transfer fee relative to this level so it looks like more poundland in the pre-season period.

A personal ambition which means nothing to most fans - only him presumably.
