Jscore: 7 - not an easy place to go and the subs helped settle the team down ISTED: 5 - a poor goal to concede: that shot was only one step up from a pea roller and Isted should have held it. He looked nervous all evening and did nothing for my nerves (or, I suspect, for those of his defenders) - hopefully he'll settle down R.E.G.: 7 - very solid. Let's hope the injury isn't a serious one, as his quiet efficiency is very impressive THOMAS: 5 - he's done well this season but I thought he looked shaky tonight GILLESPHEY: 7 - a solid defender with a good left foot T WATSON: 8 - he was lucky not to concede a penalty in the first half but his attacking play was very good. The best I've seen him play for us COVENTRY: 8 - uses the ball well and is an intelligent footballer DOBSON: 6.5 - a quieter game from George but he helped shore things up in the second half when Cheltenham were on top and, after winning the ball, played a really good long ball for Bakinson's goal ANDERSON: 4.5 - got caught in possession several times in the first half and his passing was poor. A fine young player but could do with a rest on Saturday. Perhaps Bakinson will come in, assuming Camara is not fit, with Karoy moving to the bench SMALL: 8 - with his pace, physicality and skill, he's a massive upgrade on Edun. His ability to get to the line and put in dangerous crosses gives us an additional attacking dimension. He showed excellent composure and awareness to set up Alfie's late tap in MAY: 6.5 - missed a couple of very acceptable chances but kept plugging away and that goal will hopefully help him regain his confidence KANU: 7 - his physicality and use of his body to pin defenders has come on leaps and bounds. Allied to his pace, movement and football intelligence, we are going to have some player on our hands JONES: 6.5 - a very competent and reassuring presence when he entered the fray Referee: 7 - did pretty well. My only minor gripe with him and the linesmen was that they allowed Cheltenham to steal 5 or 10 yards with every throw on. Dobbo should have been in the ref's ear about that
Jscore: 9. What more do people want from him? ISTED: 5. Had little to do and didn't do it well. Shocking kicking off both feet. R.E.G.: 7 THOMAS: 7 GILLESPHEY: 7 T WATSON: 8. Brilliant in the first half. COVENTRY: 8. Sweet passing. MOM DOBSON: 7 ANDERSON: 5 SMALL: 8 MAY: 8 so many chances. Some sweetly hit strikes. Could have had 3. KANU: 8 JONES: 6 Referee: 6 So reluctant to blow for fouls. 2 unnecessary bookings dished out.
Jscore: 8 doing well for us ISTED: 6.5 - kicking and catching makes me nervous R.E.G.: 7 - did well until injury THOMAS: 7.5 - needs to practice those long throws GILLESPHEY: 8 calm and cool T WATSON: 8.5 well played the lad COVENTRY: 9 MOM DOBSON: 6.5 average game ANDERSON: 7 worked really hard today SMALL: 8.5 great game, lovely assist MAY: 8 - nice to score, could have had 3 KANU: 9 joint MOM - energy, commitment and a goal, great performance JONES: 7.5 - seemed fine Referee: 7 let quite a lot go and didn’t fall for any of their antics in the box LADAPO: n/a didn’t do much when he came on BAKINSON: n/a great goal from the boy and a general nuisance when he came on HECTOR: n/a clogged a couple when he came on, clearly his role as spoiler sub
