Yep. Pointing to play it inside.ValleyBen said:For me Coventry is clearly pointing for him to pass it to Thomas, as Coventry points and then moves the other direction.
I appreciate some fans are determined to excuse our CBs of any blame but you must believe Coventry is one of the dumbest players in the game if you think he fails to remember what direction he himself pointed a second earlier.0 -

Don't think he was any better or worse than Scott. Flabbergasted either can earn such a decent living in this stupid manufactured role that they both occupy(ied)Valley11 said:All those people who said Steve Gallen was a chancer….
Don't see why we can't just go back to the conventional management set up (if it still exists?) and fuck the Director of Football / Recruitment role off. Curbs pointed out the amount of players who have come through the doors in the last couple of years and it's evident that the manager struggles to get a tune out of any of em. So, why not just have a manager (responsible for recruiting the players HE will be working with), assist manager, a few coaches in different areas and a couple of scouts. With the internet, scouting must be so much more easier these days, even if it's to just initially source players?
Maybe Jones coming in might bring about a bit of change, even if it sees Scott make a sideways move as opposed to out of a job, it would be a start....
Edit - Just seen Scott is "Technical Director" whatever the f*** that is, but recruitment is obviously still within his remit, so point still stands.0 -
I have no problems with Alfie in the No 10 role, behind 2 strikers and running into the box. Yesterday for much of the second half though, too often he was far too deep and actually playing in midfield, so that when the ball went into the box he was nowhere near there.1

If he was pointing to the player next to the ref, there is a Derby player in the way and if he was pointing to the Charlton player on the edge of the box, there is a Derby player ready to interfere with the pass. Whoever he was pointing to, a dangerous pass, better pass up the wing to Coventry or just hit it hard up fieldJamesSeed said:.ross1 said:
Good spot, although Coventry might have been pointing at Thomas or Ness? 👍ross1 said:Just watched the highlights again and noticed that Coventry pointed where he wanted the ball to his left then ran to the right and Gillesphey played the ball where he pointed. Definitely Coventry fault

I would highly doubt that many of our supporters drink ProseccoBrown59 said:Complete disaster happening at this club. Inept owners who with Scott are abysmal decision makers. Those supporters who don’t think we’re in a relegation battle need to stop getting high on Prosecco and face the facts that going into Div 4 is a real possibility. On current form I don’t see Charlton any better than the teams below us. With 2 teams below us with games in hand we could easily drop into the bottom 4 this weekend if we loose at Reading. We’re in real trouble the only hope is the new manager may give the team a kick up the arse which they all need. Although after watching yesterday I’m not sure it’s a done deal yet. My fears are unfortunately getting closer each week.3 -

Sounds genuinely disgusting. I'll give it try to help wash down my Christmas cake and mustard sandwiches 😉fenaddick said:

Taylor 2, Magennis, Hackett-Fairchild also scored yesterday.
It doesn't mean a lot in the big scheme of things.

Noticed Nolan's advice is for Nathan Jones to put L Watson in the team. I guess he'll already know him from Luton so it'll be interesting to see if he does. I hope he does.InspectorSands said:3 -

Let’s hope he does.4

After watching Liverpool now, perhaps AMB is not so bad 😂5

Agreed, it is an understandable error he makes, my second part is more at the trend by many different posters to excuse defensive errors by defenders by pushing the blame on to players in other positions.Chunes said:

I cannot see how anyone can put any blame on Coventry in that goal.4 -

Maybe, and especially with the type of game it was, it wasn't the best idea to play a ball inwards from deep in your half. I hate that kind of ball as if you lose it you are in big trouble. If you make the pass are you in a great position? Usually no.
I would say if Coventry had got it, he would have probably passed to a right sided defender. So if you are going to pass around at the back to no real effect, it probably isn't a good idea to have a risky, high difficulty pass in the chain. Maybe best to save them for passes in the opponents half which might lead to something.3 -
In my youth when I worked in a bar I once served someone a Guinness and tomato juice mixed.swordfish said:

Derby fan saying Mendez Laing estimated to be out for three months. Of course, he scores while playing with said injury for five minutes at ours.3
