Well, I went last night, my only 'home' game of the season. It was bloody freezing.
We were truely dreadful first half and completely outclassed in midfield, having said that, I don't think Cov battered us and their goal was a bit scrappy to be fair.
Second half we were like a different team, closed down earlier, held the ball up better and got it out wide. We did enough to warrant a draw, how we've not scored at the end I'll never know. McGurks free kick right at the end was one of the worst I've ever seen, having said that, the Cov wall was probably only about 7 yards away.
Our better players were not on form, Zoom didn't see enough of the ball, and Danny Holmes was beaten far too easily, Palmer was ineffective. We can play better than that.
Without Wallace and Cassidy and with JLAA lacking games we only look like a mid-table side. I'm still confident that if we can get anywhere near our form at the start of the season we can go up automatically.
Unfortunately I'm now having to take a lot of stick from my mates in Cov who all stayed at home last night watching the updates on Sky :evil:
One final note, the Cov City programme is one of the best I've read in a while. Lots of info about the Rovers and an interview with Steve Jennings!
