1 Belloumi - was the one bright spark today, everything decent went through him, good to see he is returning to form at the right time for us, because on today's showing we're going to need him.
2. Phillips - Despite some dodgy moments with his positioning in the first half he seemed to grow into the gane and made a couple of decent saves, nothing outstanding but decent.
3. Crooks - thought he was another one that got gradually better as the game wore on, first half just wasn't good enough though.
Thought Drameh despite some criticism on here had a steady game, but Coyle needs to be more progressive, there was an attack second half where he was dropping off and dropping off which eventually resulted in them getting a chance, despite him having 3 chances to get his foot in, whether that's something to do with the injury dont know.
Hughes seemed to be back to his panicky worst so not surprised he was replaced but Ajayi was marginally better then he has been although he too was constantly getting caught out with the flight of the ball and the wind.
Gelhardt is another that just hasn't rediscovered his form since return from injury, but I don't think he is being done any favours by being played in the 10 role, the games are passing him by.
Given the performance I'll take a point today and hope for improvement against Coventry although my glass is half empty right now.

Phillips - without him it’s a loss
Belloumi - the one bright outfield spark and lovely goal
Lundstram - possibly the best of a pretty poor rest of the team.
At the start of the match, automatics were a real possibility. At the end of it, I think we’ll slip out of the play-offs.

Drameh
We simply cannot start with the crooks Lundstram midfield again... they were really poor today no pace and no fight. Collyer looks worthy of a start on Monday for me

Five points for first choice, three for second, one for third.
Belloumi 143
Phillips 108
Drameh 22
Ajayi 16
Lundstrum 2
Coyle 2
Crooks 1
Is Belloumi up for another start after only 3 days?
Will that be Phillips' only league games of the season?
It's worrying that Dramah's and Ayaji's points were almost all from third place votes. In many cases voters made it clear that they were a long way behind the first two.
We won't win many games with only 2 standout players.
The rest of them need to step up. Starting tonight.
