We haven't got one. Funnily enough neither have our last three managers.
Route one physicality and playing for territory, set pieces and throw ins. Repeat, even when it is clearly not working. That has been the case under Warnock, Harris and McCarthy.

He'll probably congratulate the team for only conceding one and being unlucky not to nick a draw.

Maybe Pack instead of any one of the three.
But then we have the choice of Vaulks, Bacuna and Ralls.
It’s grim!

Aren't they under instruction from McCarthy? Wouldn't make any difference if Pack was in there.

Bloody crap.
No tactics
No composure

I thought Pack did ok first half, NG was a threat on a few occasions, lovely cross for Collins’ debacle, Phillips didn’t have a lot to do, very good save with his feet late on though. The rest, dear me, Morrison looked like he had lead weights in his boots. Flint wins his fair share of tackles, comes away with the ball, then aims for a ball boy or a steward. Nelson, well, Nelson was just there. Poor, poor performance.

Coventry are a decent side, we are a mid table team, with a few inexperienced youngsters who are going to be inconsistent as they gain experience. Surely nobody is surprised by this result.

Re: FT: COVENTRY CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
The more I see some of the kids the more I think they are being picked out of necessity due to cost cutting than any well thought out plan.
Tan has said he isn't spending any money, that Mick has to play the kids and Mick is doing that in the only system he knows how. Hoofball.
It will wreck quite a few of them.

That doesn't excuse the tactics we play.

Of course we are cost cutting. If we still had parachute payments there's no way we'd be playing this many kids. But we don't, as so here we are.

Im not sure if you are referencing the point that I made about Bagan’s positioning, but having a player who can be somewhat composed and pass the ball will surely help with his options at the least.

I think Pack is alright, this is Pack 'Mick style' he's still pretty ineffective for the best part, although under Mick, he's become a little more physical, at the front when there's any nonsense, leaves a foot in now and again and he's started doing a 'Hard Face' after he gobs. For those reasons, our fans will love him now. Player of the year.

Not the result, the performance. This was vintage shit.

Aren't we just.
With the third route one manager on the bounce picked by the fun boy three brains trust running the show. It is quite an achievement.
Has any club in history managed to pick three successive managers that play more direct and so little football? I can't think of one.

Just for argument's sake, what sort of football do the youngsters play at development level and is it similar to the game we play under McCarthy?

In recent seasons we've played a very good style of football to watch from what Ive seen.

I'm of a similar opinion. So we get youngsters who look good on the ball at development level, then play a totally different type of game for them to have to adjust to when they get to the first team. There's no consistency.

That wasn’t even hoofball it was tactically devoid of any plan
