Really giving it some with celebrations. Went straight over to fans and whipping up Blue Action. Making a point to rest of the ground? Can't take this for granted. Second half a bit disjointed and flat but still a great win against a V good side and play off finalists. Easy to get complacent when we're being served superb football so consistently.
What a goal from Burns too. [Post edited 2 Dec 2023 17:46]

Spot on. He was definitely making a point. The crowd became lethargic and tense as our play lost its impetus. |  | | |

Yes, agree. Think that was behind it.
I didn't mean Blue Action - they are excellent! Think he headed there because he knew he'd get a reaction.
He walked straight over to Sir Alf at the end too. I can completely get it. They are playing some of the best football we've ever seen and it's easy to start taking it all as a given. It's anything but that! | | | |

Second half performances this week haven’t been great. That combined with the cold has people quite whether you agree or not.
If you switched the performances around in both halves for both games the ground would have been bouncing at the final whistle so it is funny like that.
Really good three points but we really need to kill teams off second half. |  | | |

I don’t really agree
Doesn’t really matter is the second half was tame
We have just won AGAIN to cement second place, and in the first half we were excellent
These aren’t the Mick years
This is the best team we’ve had since Burley
McKenna won’t be here forever, nor will this glorious football
Celebrate it | |

I agree completely and appreciate everything that’s happening with the club. Point is - two damp squib halves, lost 0-1 Wednesday and 0-1 today with a missed pen I can see why the fans weren’t going mental with delight in minus temps. | | | |

I agree, last two games we’ve been tame. We need to make Portman Road loud and intimidating for opposing players. It’s cold, I get it, but people have come to expect the wins and it’s taken the bite out of the support to an extent. |  | | |

That's definitely the most animated I've seen him after the final whistle and I think like our 2nd half performance, the crowd was also a bit flat on a bitterly cold day! Thought Cov were pretty loud tbf and when they sang 2 nil up and you still don't sing, they were perhaps right! | | | |

Coventry were giving their fans to cheer, even at 2-0. They were closing us down, trying to get the ball forward, making attacks (which, of course they needed to). In comparison, Town seemed to be going through the motions in the second half. The fans off the pitch reflected the performances on it. | |

Yep, agreed! I said that our second half performance on the pitch mirrored our support in the stands, off the pitch... 2nd half we took our foot off the gas a bit and didn't have much to cheer about.. | | | |

I never really agree with “losing a half”,
The fact is we did enough over the 90+ minutes in both matches this week to win.
To get to December having only lost twice, those being to the quality and strength of Leeds and West Brom is outstanding. Also to think the starting 11 is pretty much the team that got us out of league One. Make no mistake, this team is very much in the hunt for Automatic promotion. | | | |

Maybe he'll call us Zombies on Monday! It's been cold last two matches, and I really think thats affects it. It'll be fine on the 16th. | | | |

And I can totally understand professionally playing out the 2nd half like they did, but its minus 2 and stupidly cold and I'm literally watching our players just stand there with the ball for alot of extended time to the point you wonder if the ref has blown for a foul or a free kick but no it's the opposition not attacking and we are sensibly running the clock down, and then playing ourselves into trouble.
You can't cheer or react to the bigger context constantly during a game, a crowd will feed off what the team are doing on the pitch, and without checking stats i suspect alot of the game was played in our half, and we didnt have many shots at goal. | | | |
