Town v Coventry
#11
Coventry weren't that great. Neither were we. We let them have the ball and they did what we do with loads of possession, passed it sideways. All those shots on target look impressive but Nicholls's gran could have saved them that were straight at him. In fact, had we not laid her to rest 40 years ago so could mine and no doubt yours. Many were straight a him for a reason, they were shooting at any opportunity, regardless of how good it was and defensively we mostly cut down the angles. We'd left Godden unmarked a couple of minutes before their goal by Nicholls left side of the box. By the look of the photo on the BBC website we did it again when he scored.

We score early, they score late, creatures of habit. Exactly as predicted, except I said 2-2. Could have bet my mortgage on it, but it's long since paid off and I'm not that daft either.

We scored from 50% of our shots on target. Now if Coventry had scored from 50% of theirs ....

We tried to soak up whatever pressure they applied and hit them on the break. It kind of worked but then we too often lost the ball as a chance beckoned. Had Holmes shot gone in we'd have had all 3 points. Fine margins. Huggins of Coventry's shots were never going in. We've allegedly battered other teams before and come away with a point or less. We were allegedly battered today, but really, we weren't.

Neither side good enough for top six on this evidence.
