All the lack of squad and Ugbo doesn't get a sniff !!

Always worried whenever the ball goes near Hovarth, The good saves were more the ball hitting him than saves except for the one he kicked away.

Unfair criticism of Iorfa as when he went off we were vulnerable to any cross coming in as he was the only one constantly winning it in the air. Weaver grew into the game and during the second half seemed to accept more responsibility and, throughout the game, was the most committed in defence.

Valery seemed very inconsistent and lost the ball in some dangerous areas as did Amass who seems to run into trouble quite a bit but he does offer himself and has energy to get forward.

Ingelsson worked hard as usual and offers something. Was disappointed in Jamal Lowe. An experienced player like him should be able to contribute more and help out Cads more than he did.

Brown continues to impress with his touch and getting into dangerous positions. Unlucky with the final chance from the Bannan cross which was slightly too high to get on top of.

However, don't want to score any of them as they are doing a good job in turning out and putting so much effort in despite not being paid.

Finally, BB just goes further up in my estimation in the effort he puts in and the way he is leading the team and the club along with Henrick who is also doing a great job against tremendous odds.

 

Agree with all of that except blaming Lowe for Cads performance. Cadamarteri has been absolutely garbage the last 3 games and Brown is outshining him. For me, it’s rotate Brown/Cadz and play them with the more experienced J. Lowe/Ugbo

Horvath: 6

Palmer: 5.5 

Iorfa: 6

Weaver: 6

M. Lowe: 5

Amass: 5.5

Valery: 5

Bannan: 6.5

Ingelsson: 6

J. Lowe: 6

Cadamarteri: 5.5 

McNeill: 6

Brown: 7

Thornton: 5.5

Ugbo 5.5 

Outclassed by a far better team ..,can't fault the effort they put in is about the best I can say ......horvath got my vote 

Fans who went on the pitch ,  did more running   10/10

I thought Jamal Lowe actually showed a few glimpses of skill, but I'm clutching at straws, as Coventry were far too good for us.

I'm beginning to think that maybe Cadamarteri will end up in league 1 or 2. He's been around a while now and some games do tend to pass him by, although the service isn't great.

Unnecessarily abrasive, as per.

Your favourite "crock player" Chalobah won't be fit in 2 weeks time according to HP. Sorry. 

Hence the "hope".

No way Jamal should be starting based on his concistent poor performances. Realise we are massively handicapped with a small squad, but Brown already offers more than Jamal or Ugbo or McNeill. 

Well, I haven't opted for Lowe in place of Brown, and nor did I opt for Ugbo or McNeill. 

But what other option do we have on the right? Valery, perhaps, if we want to park the bus (in old money); but that means Palmer starting, and I don't think he's playing well atm.

All 7’s for me but a Massive 10/10 for the 52 making a real stand on the pitch.

All 7's from me too. (I didn't even see the highlights)

My reasoning. They should have been paid. They need to be part of a proper squad. It's not their fault they are part of a rag tag team. They will get hammered regularly, get used to it, it's not their fault. I refuse to give them bad marks when they are beaten by a much better team worth much more. It's DC's fault ,not the managers or the players.

By all means give the players extra points if deserved but in the circumstances I think 7 is the minimum justified. They deserve that for still being here.

There was a ball up to him towards the end of the game and the attempted ‘header’ was a disgrace. Didn’t even try and get off the ground. I’ve backed him and hoped he’d come good, but he’s clearly not interested. I wouldn’t even have him on the bench from now on, rather have some kid who shows a bit of fight.
