Can I be slightly critical?

Re: Can I be slightly critical?

They ran rings around us for pretty much all the second half. Desperate defending, midfielders out on their legs, it showed us up, especially when you consider they were league 1 last season. McCarthy's doing his job well, keeping City up, but to coin the old saying, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

I think we were fortunate, in that we scored first. I think if Coventry had got the opener, it could have turned out very differently. Once a team goes behind, they have to push forward to get an equaliser, and all sorts of stuff opens up at the back. We've all seen it, and we've all seen City suffer from it, earlier in the season.
That said, we are a more resilient side these days, and Coventry definitely looked a bit shaky whenever they were under pressure. Thankfully, you can't really tack that label on Cardiff at the moment.
