    I thought Coventry got all the decisions going - how many wrong decisions can a linesman give? Looking at Coventry, I am not displeased that they won - might be over-confident next weekend. I thought their strengths were Westwood in goal - terrific saves, but we can't worry about that; Clingan in midfield controlled the game - we need to get a forward midfielder to close him down next week and stop him spraying the passes around - also not give away any direct free-kicks - don't give JCR the marking job next week on him; Morrison took his goals well, but he is a hot and cold player and might not be that bothered next week - we will see; good quality crosses from right and left (McIndoe looking dangerous), so central defenders will need to watch out for Best and Morrison.

    On their weaknesses: the central defenders looked very slow - might be Ward & Turner, or Wright and Turner next week - either way Odejayi might batter them both, but there is not much point in playing high balls up the middle, better the quick breaking forward playing off the target man and running through; Gunnarson - I think, with a big bit of help from the Oakwell faithful, we can get him red-carded next week - stroppy get.

    I think that we can win it next Saturday - hope so. Not predicting a score, but I think, if we get a grip of the midfield and play and use wingers (which will restrict their breaking full-backs), we can get a result.

    We will after make sure they don't get any throwing around the area because they have a long throw expert.

    On the evidence of watching Tarn and Coventry this weekend...........

    ...........we should easily beat Coventry IF we use power and speed effectively

    Odejayi got out muscled against Wendy i dont think that will be the case against Coventry
