    Motivated Gilesy got my blood flowing everytime he got the ball in a crossing position, gonna be good with McBurnie on the end of it.

    Hughes: was fantastic
    Giles: Imagine mcburnie getting on those crosses
    Ajayi: towering performance.

    Good day out. Wouldn't mind if I didn't see another train for a long while. 8 trains and train stations is enough for anyone

    Did you wait for the train from the ground back to Cov? If so how long did you wait? I got fed up waiting and walked it!

    We managed to get on the platform before they shut the gate. Was about half an hour i think. We went to Nuneaton, then changed at Tamworth then sheffield. Had a couple of pints at Doncaster tap and off home for about 7:30

    It was a close call for third. As GLP mentioned Ajayi was immense defensively but was a bit hit and miss with his distribution, while Drameh had a decent game despite clearly being targeted by Cov as a potential weak link.

    Five points for first choice, three for second, one for third.

    Hughes 215
    Ajayi 183
    Giles 99
    Drameh 41
    Lundstram 10
    Pandur 7
    Crooks 3

    A strong defensive performance; illustrated by the fact that 98% of the votes cast were for the back five.

    Nice to see Giles getting on the podium. Long may it continue.


    As much as it seems like a good result (and it is) the overall dynamic was very similar to last season. Strong at the back, lacking creativity in the middle and not a lot going on upfront. The few chances we did create were fluffed.

    Still stuff to fix; hopefully the new signings can address that.
