I scored Onyeka a 6, bud. Grimes.was everywhere again and a 7 for me.Pretty much spot on but I'd have given MVE another point.
Thought him, Rushworth, Dasilva and EMC the pick of the bunch.
*edit: that was to the OP not Regis.
Can't agree with yours mate, thought Grimes and Onyeka were off it today and never 7s
Yes, thought Wolf was really slow on the ball and had little vision to offload forward. Having said that as we had no midfielders finding space it was left to him and Kitch to run the ball forward at times.Thought we played quite well overall bar 15 minutes or so in the second half.
Thought Van Ewijk, Mason-Clarke and Dasilva were good.
Rushworth really solid again, helpless for the goals.
I'm a Simms fan, but not much went for him today, and we looked poorer (last 5 minutes aside) when Wright went off.
The two centre backs struggled a bit. Woolfenden in particular looked slow

Fair enough, all about opinions, but Grimes lost it trying to go past someone in the second half and also nearly cost us a goal when Rushworth came out and saved him with a tackle. Thought his delivery into the box was also poor.I scored Onyeka a 6, bud. Grimes.was everywhere again and a 7 for me.
Actually thought MVE was off it today. Particularly first half. Most of them had an off day
Frank getting minutes into the other playersOnyeka subed again, can he not last 90 minutes.![]()

Did you hear Tonder Eckhart interview? He said they set out to disrupt the heartbeat of Coventry city namely Grimes! That's why he was not at his bestI thought Grimes was off it today, to the point I was worried he wasn’t fully fit. Didn’t seem to want the ball as much and his movement was limited.
That combined with Onyeka being naturally defensive and neither BTA or Eccles being naturally creative, meant we ended up quite one dimensional.
Get the ball out wide and hope for the best.
Wolf and Kitching are a liability defensively. Wolf also forgot how to head the ball when in the oppositions box.
Rushworth, JDS, Sakamoto probably the stand outs. Thought Wright looked better than usual too.
Was disappointed with BTA when he came on. Simms too. Neither offered anything new to the game.EMC and Dasilva the pick of the bunch.
MVE mostly did well but his final ball/decision making was poor.
I thought Eccles was playing well, picked up some good positions in that 10 area and was a big part of how we attacked in the first half. BTA was poor when he came on and didn't give us that option.

That was a hospital pass to him, though. I didn't blame him for that.also nearly cost us a goal when Rushworth came out and saved him with a tackle.

Bad day at the office all round.
I thought we were pretty poor throughout the game, despite creating a few chances. I would say that if we had been beaten and not really offered anything i'd it would have been 4s and 5s. People forget that 6 is a solid rating.A little harsh, Stupot, I would say
It was a bad day at the office, but I don't think we played particularly badly. It was a very close game and we missed some fabulous chances.
Just a few mistakes undid us, but we definitely deserved something out of the game and Southampton looked a very decent side, so with that in mind, I do think those scores are rather low
The scores above are more akin to us being beaten and not really offering anything
We had the best chances
