Players Marks: Coventy v Charlton

Hmmm used to enjoy reading this thread .... ... Still waiting.

Has Coventry been hit by one of those MOAB bombs ?

Rudd: 8
Solly: 6
Bauer: 5
Pearce: 6
DaSilva: 7
Byrne: 6.5
Ulvestad: 5
Konsa: 5.5
Crofts: 6
Holmes: 6
Magennis: 6.5
Forster-Caskey: 6.5

Rudd: 8 made some great saves that kept us in it. (Shame we won't keep him)
Solly: 7 made some get last ditch tackles
Bauer: 6 OK
Pearce: 6 old fashioned warrior,could look to play on occasions rather than row Z
DaSilva: 7 needs to be more confident & get a cross in, can deliver a great ball. Looked isolated at times when Holmes was caught out of position
Byrne: 6 did OK, should have scored
Ulvestad: 5 not convinced, would have rather seen JFC start
Konsa: 5 too slow on the ball. Needs to play quicker
Crofts: 6 did OK, gave away needless fouls
Holmes: 6 better in the role behind the striker as tracking back is a weakness
Magennis: 6.5 battled hard but isolated
Forster-Caskey: 7 some nice touches, looks composed on the ball, would like to see him play more

Team performance 3 - lack or movement, positional sense and team cohesion

Rudd: 9 No mistakes and several match-saving stops
Solly: 7 Totally reliable as always, although struggled a bit for pace at times
Bauer: 7
Pearce: 8 Looks like our best centre back
DaSilva: 7 Positional sense a bit erratic, but strong on the ball
Byrne: 4.5
Ulvestad: 4
Konsa: 3 An advanced mid-field role is not his position
Crofts: 8 Excellent shield for the back four, snuffing out danger through anticipation
Holmes: 4 Looked tired and lacking in sharpness
Magennis: 4.5 Struggled to win much in the air and hold-up play not very effective
Forster-Caskey: 4.5 Not been too impressed by him so far

Rudd: 8
Solly: 7
Bauer: 6.5
Pearce: 7
DaSilva: 7
Byrne: 6.5
Ulvestad: 6
Konsa: 5
Crofts: 7
Holmes: 6.5
Magennis: 6.5
Forster-Caskey: 6

Rudd. 8 Produced a couple of excellent saves to deny a potential winner.
Solly. 7 Showed some desire.
Bauer. 6 Not convincing defensively but he scored!
Pearce. 6 Good game.
DaSilva. 6 Caught out positionally a couple of times but a decent little player.
Byrne. 6. Missed a sitter in the first half. Needs to improve consistency.
Ulvestad. 6.5 Good vision and produced some good passes but needs more consistency.
Konsa. 5 Too lightweight and slow for a midfield player.
Crofts. 5.5. Good in front of defence but makes too many mistakes.
Holmes. 6. A quiet game. His corners either never get past the first man or go straight to the goalkeeper.
Magennis. 5. What's the use of a striker who never scores!
Forster-Caskey. 6.5 We need someone who can grab the midfield by the scruff of the neck and he certainly made a better attempt than Konsa.

Rudd: 8
Solly: 5
Bauer: 5
Pearce: 6
DaSilva: 5
Byrne: 5
Ulvestad: 5
Konsa: 5
Crofts: 5
Holmes: 6
Magennis: 5
Forster-Caskey: 4

Apart from a bit of good goal keeping right in front of me it was a very average game.
