DUE TO 3 A DAYS back to back Friday, Saturday and Sunday at work i havent had much time to get on so sorry for my late report A Daysif your wondering 15 hour shifts 6.30am- 9pm mostly overtime though for double bubble so its my own fault LOL
Joe Lumley: 7 Restored to the side (when i saw this i was like oh no) but looked a different player,he played i hear due to Seny Dieng’s late return from international duty on Thursday night. Handling was very assured and he was vocal throughout. great to see hes not let it bother him that hes become number 2 choice i wasnt concerned like the last time he played looks a different player. i exppect him left out though against Forest.
Osman Kakay: 7 Always willing to get forward but his end product sometimes lets him down. Defended solidly and linked up well with Rob Dickie to bring the ball out from the back on occasions think there must have been a fall out with MW and Kane be interested to see who will play today against Forest if i were a betting man i think Osman will play again which would mean theres a rift between Harry Kanes more skillful brother and MW
Rob Dickie: 8 Dominated throughout and as always was excellent with the ball at his feet in yet another top-class display from a player who has enjoyed a stellar debut season in the Championship. Think hes our natural skipper and next season if hes with us i would give him the armband.
Geoff Cameron: 7 Back in the side and settled back into the back three effortlessly albeit against a toothless attack. He and Sam Field managed to distract Michael Rose enough for the defender to nod in his own net for the second goal and was solid in defence all afternoon.
Yoann Barbet: 8 is his name Yoann or Johan??? Made a number of timely interceptions to snuff out at least three potential Coventry attacks in the first half in a very steady and confident showing in what has been a much-improved second half of the season from the Frenchman or is he Belgian???
Lee Wallace: 8 Continued his excellent run of form with another fine display. Swung in a perfect cross for Chris Willock’s opener after anticipating Ilias Chair’s glorious back-heel and was a constant threat on the left flank. had he played like this all season would be up ther for POTY for me (POTY: player of the year)
Sam Field: 8 sheer class reminds me of a young Roy Keane without the nasty seems to have an uncanny ability to alwaysbe in the right place at the right time to cut out potential attacks and has the mobility and size to use the ball well and win his headers. Has formed a very decent partnership with Stefan Johansen. if we keep the pair of them we will have one if not THE BEST midfield in the division.
Stefan Johansen: 7 Even when he is relatively subdued by his high standards, the Norwegian still stands out with moments of quality. Provided the pass that set up Chair’s goal and delivered the ball of the match to open the visitors’ defence and set up a very good chance for the Moroccan which he should have done better with.
Ilias Chair: 9 mini Adel tormented Coventry all afternoon in a brilliant display. Heavily involved in the opening goal and it was his corner that created the second. Should have scored a hat-trick before finally finding the net thanks to a Marko Marosi mistake after slaloming his way into the box. with those chances missed i still think he deserves his rating of 9 in my opinion his best game for the club.
Chris Willock: 7 He heads the ball as well.......great nod home after just 75 seconds and a constant threat in the first half with his ability beat defenders. Faded in the second half and was replaced by George Thomas.
Charlie Austin: 7 Started the move for the first goal with a lovely chest and pass to Chair and had a two decent headers kept out by Marosi. Always a threat with his movement. still needs that rest i would rest him against Forest
Rub a dubs
Lyndon Dykes: 6 Replaced Austin, had one shot blocked wide for a corner. Helped out the defence well late on as Coventry pressed for a late consolation goal.
George Thomas: 6 seemed desperate to impress against his former club after coming on for the last 20 minutes. Worked hard and used the ball well, but when the chance for the goal he craved fell to him, he fired wide. at best for me a squad player off the bench wont get in ahead of Willock or Chair
Albert Adomah: 6 On as a late substitute and almost made an immediate impact when he raced past two defenders and pulled out a cracking shot that was tipped onto the crossbar. hope he starts against Forest but cant see MW giving him the opportunity from the start not with Chair and Willocks good form....for me though he seemed hungry when he came on and was very disapointed for him when the keeper saved his effort.
