I must've seen a different game thought he started okay but then faded away and why is he so bloody scared to shoot all of a sudden?

Glad BTA got a good reception he did score some great goals for us and can't forget that Burnley game! I thought he did alright coming on a few dangerous crosses but wow Cov fans don't rate him at all

Anyway we played better Saturday and didn't win so swings and roundabouts but I feel like Racic poor finishing might cost us soon just no composure

JW had a good cameo I felt almost back to his old self. Swift started well and then faded. Grant POTS by far.

Automatic looking well beyond us already, but win this and all those draws won't look quite so bad, no one else outside the top 3 are looking consistent

Need to string 4 or 5 wins together to just get back in just contention but sadly can't see it.

This is why you have to beat your Milwall, Cardiff's and Preston's. In isolation not bad a result but it's another bloody draw

They weren't in the game and we gifted them two goals. Bartley should never be ahead of Holgate. Same old problem go a goal up and they drop off

Swift is an actual joker that mis hit sums up his season

Also CC still doing like for like bloody changes! What was point of taking Maja off just stick him up top for the last few minutes will Cole and get the win

Grant for all his improvement, why did he not look up? Basics of football here...

Does anybody know why this game is on Sunday?
Can't see it listed on sky sports live or red button?

I think it will be added to the red button, IIRC Hull game initially wasn't and then did

I’d say that’s very naive. That won’t be a factor at all.  There’s only one language that counts in football - money.  He might never get a chance to manage in the Premier League.

I mean if it was at the beginning of the season sure fair enough but a team with PSR restrictions in a relegation dog fight mid season, does that really sound tempting? I know he joined us under similar circumstances but the key difference he was out of a job at that point

There is a little bit of noise that the Dingles have Corberan on their potential list of replacements for the Might Gary O’Neil…
If they officially approached that would be very interesting .

The fact CC played a strong team vs them in the cup tells me he know's the history between the clubs no doubt in my mind he'll turn them down if approached.

Junichi Inamoto announced his retirement a few hours ago on Twitter.

Wow there is a name! And he was still playing? 

Was just randomly thinking of Ishmael Miller the other day & how he finally turned the corner in the prem before that horrific injury and just wasn't the same again. Anyone know what he is up to nowadays?

Another thing - anyone missing the highs and lows of wins AND losses?! Draws are feeling almost inevitable.

Absolutely they say draws are boring and there is a reason for that. This all feels so numb

Last season was so much better win home, lose away got more points that way too

That said we'll probably lose next week so the curse will be broken I guess lol

Embarrassing performance, had we won on Saturday could've been forgiven but I've turned it off after the last sub.

Garbage.

I just can't get my head around Leicester sacking Cooper after 12 games what were they expecting?

They're fans have wanted him out since the opening game. Never warmed to him at all

Leicester fans are so weird, they hate Rodgers despite winning them fa cup. Booing last year when they were top etc

His podcast with Micah and Alan shearer is brilliant. You realise Shearer is quite a funny bloke with a wicked sense of humour (and loves to throw a swear word around).

Lineker is a brilliant presenter. I happen to work in TV and good presenters are a rarity, it’s an awfully tough job. To make it look as easy as he does takes real talent.

Strong political views yes, but he’s a freelance football presenter. Nothing to do with News coverage.

25 years, all things come to an end.

Seriously! I always thought AS was boring af but the podcast really does paint him in a new light!

Best away record! Fair play he's sorted last season's issue out but now the home form has suffered, hopefully we can gtt the balance and challenge for top 2

And what's the point of bringing Cole on for 4 minutes?

Why make him sit back down for 6 minutes? Utterly bonkers.

Less than 72 hours between matches bothers me. Hull will have had 2 more days of rest. It’s factor for certain. Let’s hope we somehow fashion a win.

We had a weeks rest almost v Burnley and put in the most pathetic performance this season so that means nothing

Is anyone else getting annoyed at how Maja refuses to hold the ball? Constantly laying it off every time he receives it...
