😹Garrymanilow said:0.5 to 10.0 please:
OKONKWO: 7.5 - Dominated the space between himself and the backline as West Brom stung balls across. Made the saves you'd expect him to and couldn't do anything about the goal
McNAMARA: 7 - Absolute rat. Some big tackles and will not let his man past
JONES: 7.5 - Strong, his usual self
BINDEN: 6.5 - Very good at times but far too slow out to block the shot even after the West Brom player telegraphed it for what felt like about 15 minutes
BELL: 6.5 - Should fear the impending Mesiking
COVENTRY: 7.5 - Had to take the lead in the midfield and was strong, aggressive and good on the ball
MWAMBA: 6 - Couldn't show that spark he did the other day. Not ready to start
ALLI: 6.5 - Surprisingly strong, not always on the same wavelength with his other attackers
GRANT: 6 - Didn't really threaten
CAMPBELL: 8 MOTM - Impossible to stop, yet again got his goal
LEABURN: 7 - It's a thankless task being our striker sometimes but he stuck to it
OUMA: 6.5 - Hilarious, sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad way. Adapted to the pace of the game well which tells me there's more to come. I think we'll love him (mostly)
MESIK: 7.5 - Good lord. You shouldn't be that terrifying and that fast, it's unsporting. Bodied a man trying to hold him at a corner in a way that even Lloyd Jones stared at in awe
J. R-C: 7 - What a tweak from Jones recognising that his lack of mobility means he can play that little bit further forward and not cost us anything in legs in the middle. Now has the space to pick his passes and picks them brilliantly
MBICK: 6.5 - Terrified their keeper
CAREY: n/a - Looked up for making a difference at the end
Referee: 7.5 - Decent. Annoying face.

OKONKWO: 8 MOM. Calm. No chance with the goal but possibly could have come and claimed the original corner
McNAMARA: 6 some good things, some bad things. Looked tired against a tricky left hand side
JONES: 7.5 solid once again
BINDEN: 7 was rusty, but dealt with everything. Passing was sometimes wayward but that will improve with minutes
BELL: 5.5 looked tired. He won’t be able to play Saturday/wednesday/Saturday
COVENTRY: 7.5 had a good game
MWAMBA: 5 that’s a tough game to make your full debut. Done some good things but other moments he looked lost. He would’ve learnt a lot from that
ALLI: 6 some poor passes, but caused them one or two problems
GRANT: 6 we didn’t have enough of the ball for him to influence anything
CAMPBELL: 7.5 extra work for the tidy finish
LEABURN: 7.5 defensively was good. Caused them problems which lead to our goal. Battled hard
OUMA: 7 bit like Binden, was rusty, but thought our midfield looked stronger with him in it
MESIK: 7 should start Saturday. Part of the subs that gave us a boost. Nice cross which led to the goal
J. R-C: 7 I think he deserves to start, but I think he’s more effective off the bench
MBICK: 6.5 not on the pitch long enough to influence things. He did close down their keeper which led to the keeper putting the ball out near the corner flag
CAREY: n/a
Referee 7.5 consistent. Allowed the game to flow. I’m not normally his biggest fan but he had a good game

0.5 to 10.0 please:
OKONKWO: 7 Would've been a higher mark but I wanted to see him come for the corner that led to the goal.
McNAMARA:6 caught in possession on a couple of occasions but good pro.
JONES:7 overall a typical Lloyd performance. Did get caught high up field and had to foul but fortunately didn't get a card.
BINDEN: 7 decent debut but was a tad lucky not too get 2 cards for bookable fouls.
BELL:7 experienced game from Amari'i
COVENTRY: 7.5 back to his hard working best.
MWAMBA:6.5 The kid is still learning and probably best he's not an 8/10 every game or else he will be here only 1 season.
ALLI:6 will have better games and over hit back passes didn't look but he will be an exciting watch in other matches.
GRANT:6.5 put in a shift in the unfamiliar 10 position.
CAMPBELL: 7.5 playing with confidence and took his goal so well. Shame that he or Bindon couldn't block their goal.
LEABURN:7 Goes to war every match and has battle royals galore. Most refs give him little.
OUMA:6 still raw and getting used to this league.
MESIK:7.5 great Cameo and an excellent cross for the goal.
J. R-C:7.5 Made a different and he can pass well !
MBICK:6 difficult and his day will come.
CAREY: n/a
Referee: .5.5 Thankfully he was lenient or else we would've been down to 10 men !

BELL: 6.5 - Did OK
COVENTRY: 7 - Worked very hard

OUMA: 5 - Little time to make any impact
MESIK: 7.5 - Excellent cross for the goal and looked very comfortable
J. R-C: 7 - Instant impact carrying the ball well

OKONKWO: 7.5 So much more comfortable with him in goal. And love his quick throws out.
McNAMARA: 6.5 Not as strong this game but never hid and came into it more after we made the changes
JONES: 7.5 Never has a weak game it seems
BINDEN: 7 Decent debut. Tough in the tackle and distribution much better on the right side of the three
BELL: 7 Had a tough night against some tricky players but stuck at it
COVENTRY: 8 Think his improvement YOY has gone a bit unnoticed. Excellent again
MWAMBA: 6.5 Tries to play forward but found it tough first half
ALLI: 7 Actually one of our better players first half
GRANT: 6.5 Found it hard to get into the game.
CAMPBELL: 7.5 TC came alive after the change when he had Mesik backing him up
LEABURN: 7.5 Fought all game - if he adds goals to his locker he’s a big big player at this level
OUMA: 7.5 Surprised more aren’t impressed by last night. Thought he looked good.
MESIK: 8 Bloody fantastic in the wing back role. Great cross and pace on the run for the goal
J. R-C: 8 Best passer on the pitch after he came on
MBICK: 6.5 Didn’t really do much
CAREY: n/a
Referee: 5 Absolute homer of a ref who barely gave us a foul for 70 mins

At the game:
OKONKWO: 8 - safe pair of hands, decent keeper for the first time in years
McNAMARA: 7.5 - lively
JONES: 9 - immense
BINDEN: 7.5 - did well as had only just arrived, looks like a good addition
BELL: 7 - a bit iffy at times
COVENTRY: 8.5 - tried hard but struggled to get a grip
MWAMBA: 7 - his inexperience as plain to see but didn’t do anything wrong
ALLI: 7.5 - lively
GRANT: 7.5 - a lot of positive running, didn’t get any scoring opportunities
CAMPBELL: 8.5 - ran all game and scored a very nice goal
LEABURN: 8 - made the goal for TC, no protection from the officials
OUMA: 7.5 - did nothing wrong
MESIK: 8 - looked good when he came on
J. R-C: 9 - a couple of powerhouse runs forward, including for the goal. Really lifted the team when he came on
MBICK: 7.5 - did well, continued to worry the West Brom when he replaced Leaburn
CAREY: n/a
Referee: 3.5 - some very poor decisions and did not protect our strikers.
0 -
OKONKWO: 7.5 such a presence, teams seem reluctant to shoot. no chance with the goal.
McNAMARA: 6 not his best game but we'll allow him one or two, after such a great start.
JONES: 8 Captain, leader, its Jones+1 at centre back for me, no rotation needed here.
BINDEN: 7.5 Good start and will be good competition for Billy.
BELL: 6 Dwelt far too long on the ball at times and passing let him down - Mesik to start at Stoke for me.
COVENTRY: 8 Growing in confidence and must have seemed to him like he was covering quite a few positions, due to AM inexperience.
MWAMBA: 6 His time will come across the season, excellent prospect, but not as ready as we think.
ALLI: 5 quiet night and we improved when we changed formation
GRANT: 5.5 Why dont our players succeed in scoring against former teams? wasnt his best game in the 10 position.
CAMPBELL: 8 Great start to the season continued with his 4th goal, its exciting to think how many could he get?
LEABURN: 7 Fought hard again, i think a goal will help him massively, hopefully that'll be Saturday !!
OUMA: 6 Did well with better players around him (unlike at Spurs).
MESIK: 7 Good game off the bench and a good cross for the goal too.
J. R-C: 7.5 Maybe the next one to be tried in the 10 position from the start? he has an uncanny knack of affecting games when he comes on, just hope he gets the start he deserves
MBICK: 6 saw out the game and more minutes gained with his comeback.
CAREY: n/a
Referee: 6 missed a few things, but for both sides, so cant be too harsh.

Coventry was excellent, any mark under a 7 didn't watch the game1
-
OKONKWO: 8 - Not a lot to do but his distribution was pretty good and made a couple of good saves when called up
McNAMARA: 7 - Solid, wobbled in possession a bit
JONES: 7.5 - Solid if unspectacular at the back
BINDEN: 7 - Don't think he's really at fault for the goal, he heads it about as well as he can. Defended well. Not great in possession. I think he'll grow into the team. I just worry about his left foot when he's playing on the left. Hell of a long throw on him which is nice!
BELL: 7.5 -Thought he had their RW on lock in the first half. Struggled a bit more in the second half but still solid.
COVENTRY: 8 - Worked his socks off and covered the ground. Closed down. Got into passing lanes. Believe he had a couple of blocks in there as well. Sign him up.
MWAMBA: 6 - Struggled to impact the game. Wasn't terrible, but I don't know that this was quite the game to hand him his first start in. That being said, I don't think JRC or Carey are great in a double pivot so it was kind of Mwamba or bust. I expect he'll be back to an impact sub at the weekend with Skipp coming in at the weekend.
ALLI: 6.5 - Showed some flashed but struggled to get on the ball. Not convinced he's comfortable on the right, which is true of literally all of our wingers.
GRANT: 7 - Hardly noticed him in possession but he worked incredibly hard off the ball
CAMPBELL: 8 MOTM - Workrate. Skill. Finishing. He looks a real player, and as Jones said, this wasn't his best game. Still managed to make a massive impact. And again, he works so hard. Remember when we almost sold him to Preston for an alleged 2.7m? He looks worth about four times that right now.
LEABURN: 7 - Didn't impact much but worked hard and led the line. Pressed pretty well.
OUMA: 6.5 - Something good, something good, something baffling. He's going to need to get up to speed on the...speed of the Championship. Looks a good athlete and good at breaking up play though. He's raw, but he's intriguing.
MESIK: 7.5 - Loves an overlap.
J. R-C: 7.5 - Changed the game. He still gets a lot of stick for his lack of pace but for the goal he gets on the ball, runs, what 30-40 yard, and procides an inch perfect pass for Mesik's cross. Lovely little player. Wouldn't be surprised to see him start in the 10 on Saturday.
MBICK: 6 - Not a lot to do in a short cameo. His time will come, stay patient.
CAREY: n/a
Referee: 8 - Solid and hardly noticed him. Probably missed a couple fouls on Miles but that's about it.

0.5 to 10.0 please:
OKONKWO: 8 commanding and made some good saves. Maybe should've made a call for Bindon to leave it for the goal.
McNAMARA: 5 thought he really struggled last night, not at the races.
JONES: 7 solid as per.
BINDON: 7 good debut. good on the ball but a couple of sloppy moments that could've cost us (the cushioned header main example).
BELL: 6.5 stuck to his task well but didn't provide much assistance going the other way.
COVENTRY: 7.5 thought he was rock solid again, superb start to the season.
MWAMBA: 6.5 ran his socks off but struggled to impact the game too much.
ALLI: 6.5 Some nice touches. The pitch was nightmare for the wingers to keep their footing.
GRANT: 6 fairly anonymous
CAMPBELL: 7.5 +1 for the goal. Not his best game but an important goal.
LEABURN: 7 worked his socks off for very little return.
OUMA: 7 He's a nervy watch as you're never quite sure what he is going to do (good or bad). but some nice touches & great whipped cross to Mesik that lead to half chance.
MESIK: 7.5 think he's great, faster than I expected him to be.
J. R-C: 8 Think he changed the game last night. Another great cameo.
MBICK: 6 think he will be great in time. But for me he's not ready to be playing in the championship.
CAREY: n/a
Referee: 7.5 Generally good but as per usual let Leaburn get manhandled.
