We are playing really well, should be more than 1 up. Stonewall penalty and was well taken by Taylor. Fosu looking unplayable at the moment. Special mention to Sarr who is looking solid at the back and played a few cracking through balls. COYRs!
Not a bad first half... Charlton have dominated yet not in the fashion of the Plymouth game the other week - Coventry have been bit rubbish going forward and Steer hasnt really been tested
All our play is going through Aribo whilst Solly and Sarr are standouts at the back (Dijksteel is playing better than Tuesday).
About to become even more unpopular yet wonder about Fosu in this formation; the opposition seems to just crowd him out to stop him running and them (and so be effective) whereas having Clarke or Ward in that role would be better as they have the ability to pass it around and open up space
We seem to be getting our fair share of Pens for a change, how many is that so far, 4? Indication of a more potent strike force?
We’re actually actively trying to get the ball in the penalty area for a change instead of fannying about with it 40 yards from goal. Amazing what can happen when you actually try hard to score.
We’re trying to play every move starting with Pearce or Sarr and it’s letting Coventry organise themselves and close our plays down. We need to be spraying more balls out for taylor and grant to chase down

Watching on iFollow it looks more like a flat 4-4-2. We’ve passed the ball well but the front two weren’t involved enough for most of he half. We missed a couple of decent chances but a lot of the play was going out wide, especially down the left where Solly is more comfortble on his right. The strikers started to see more of the ball which led to Taylor winning and scoring the penalty.

Liking Cullen's work across half-back, putting in a decent shift and the starting point for most of our attacks.
Lyle, Karlan, and Fossy operating very nicely across the front, rotating positions to make it difficult for the defence.
Another penalty! Have you ever known a season where we've had this many? It's normally doughnuts across the entire season!
Come on boys, build on the first half performance and dish out a battering in the second half.
The longer that went on without us scoring, the more I was a expecting a late winner for the away side.
Hopefully we can kick on second half and get another to put it to bed.
Also now Donny 0 Fleetwood 3

Build up the GD in the second half and set us up for a post-international break charge up the table.
Today's crossbar challenge is an example of when it isn't.
Still giving it away easily at times and can look shaky at back - slippery pitch.
Hope we can last the pace and build on this.
