    Coventry manager Mark Robins told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire:

    "Any point away from home in the Championship is a brilliant point. I don't think we played brilliantly, but I thought we let them off the hook in the first half, I thought we were better.

    "They (Barnsley) are an out-of-possession team, and out of possession they are brilliant - they are one of the best pressing teams outside the Premier League and they really come after you.

    "We were a little bit on the back foot in the second half, it was a little scrappy. We got into good positions to create opportunities, and then the final ball wasn't brilliant, but I'll take it and move on."

    Woodrow looks to be possessed by the spirit of Odejayi at the moment.

    We play brilliant football when we don’t have the ball. It’s when we get it that we come undone

    Ab out of possession team is just another way of saying a very very defensive team who are trying to get 1 point a game till the end of the season in the hope they manage to stay up by the skin of their teeth isn't it?

    He has to be happy with not losing when they didn’t have a shot on goal all game, I know I would be.

    We are definitely set up as a defensive team trying to nick one in our sporadic attacks. Works better against better teams imo

    Bang on! We’re set up not to concede as easily as we did. Unfortunately it’s had an effect at the other end, but as we all know, the priority is not conceding and try to move on from that. There’s an old saying, You can only **** with the pr1ck you’ve got!

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion does not equal all opinions are valid or of equal value.

    not taking sides - just putting this out there.

    indeed. I certainly had no issue with it last season. Feels like if we are to avoid another brutal relegation struggle we need to evolve a bit. The value of Brown to that system has shown immediately without him we have little or no attacking threat

    I hope Freiser comes good. Our "creative midfielders" are just damp squibs at the minute.

    Don’t know if it’s our lack of movement up front or our inability to create from midfield that’s the problem but either way there doesn’t seem any cohesion between the two.

    I thought he looked better playing wide right then he has playing up front. Appears to have potential quality on the ball but we need him to show it much sooner.

    Was having a conversation yesterday around a new striker vs. current midfield. When was the last time we put a player through one on one with the keeper? Jacob Brown against Blackburn for the goal? We create very few clear cut opportunities through our midfielders. I look at the game yesterday and wonder how much difference a new striker would have actually made.

    Styles was everywhere yesterday, especially first half, but we need four (or three) midfielders to be doing the same. He was almost involved in everything. He’s also the midfielder who looks to move the ball forward the quickest - even Mowatt can be guilty of not driving us forward quickly enough.

    I said that to a mate yesterday it’s not that we are missing chances every game we are barely creating any and very rarely see any player being put through one on one it’s the lack of genuine pace to go past defenders that stands out for me.

    Struber needs to allow mowatt to play how he was extremely successfully prior to his appointment, same with Woodrow.

    Mowatt and Styles are very much the same for me. Both drive us forward both work hard on their defensive duties getting a tackle in, covering runners and winning the ball back. While our midfield gets stick the defence profit from the hard graft of these two players.
