Big improvement needed in the 2nd half

Get Vaulks off, one decent cross in 1.5 games. Apart from that he’s been utter dogshit.

Let's have a look at Bowen on for Vaulks.

He may go for it as we still have pack on to take long throws....ball will only fly over his head anyway.

Doesn't seem shot.

Hes still trying things. You type like he's completely out of confidence and not trying to do anything, yet he's always showing further up the pitch etc.

Hes getting forward but no **** can slide a ball into him. It’s pitiful. It really is.

Re: COVENTRY CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

From what I saw he hurled it into the ground and it bounced up. Poor touch but Vaulks gave them little chance

Picture's not the greatest though

That’s what it looked like to me, it was a more difficult ball to control than it should have been, but it was still careless by Colwill I think it was.

Think there might be a few tea cups being thrown at half time in the City dressing room.

He can’t do any worse than Vaulks. To call him a headless chicken would be an insult to poultry.

Agreed, why not? I'd take jim bowen before vaulks.

Re: COVENTRY CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Well, it depends on whether or not the ball was supposed to go back to Vaulks for the cross, in order to pull the Coventry defence out a yard. I don't know, it was shit though.

This mob aren't intelligent enough to come up with a plan like that, put it down to a brain dead midfielder feckin' up the throw.

Chill. We’re a second half team!

But that's the tactics, no options, get the ball forward as quickly as possible. We need someone around Moore, although the service he's had has been appalling.

Re: COVENTRY CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

It was both. You don’t send your Centre half’s then throw it short ffs. The throw into Colwill was on his wrong foot too.

I agree with you, which is why that had to have been a training ground move that went horribly wrong. As much as you don't like Vaulks, I don't believe for one minute that wasn't a planned move. It was rubbish though.

That's a fair shout in all honesty.

Shot is probably the wrong choice of word.
His positioning isn’t in question and surely that would come from the manager.

His passing has been very poor.

Just said the same thing before reading your post. That wasn't supposed to happen!

The tactics are not win the ball and then play a simple 5 yards pass back to the opposition. Count the number of times it happens!
Often, not even under pressure.
