Undone by being totally disjointed in the first half. Not sure what was going on there. In fairness Hull looked decent and took advantage. The only thing positive from the game was the performance of Ben Sheaf. Apart from one error first half he looked real class in that position.

Well that was pretty dreadful. Too many players having very poor games. Hyam and Godden probably the most wasteful. Only O'Hare and Sheaf come out of that with any credit.

If so many of the coaching / management team are isolating, there is only so much they can relay remotely. Surely match preparations on the training ground will be affected. Hopefully there is enough ingrained in the squad for much of the tactics / system to be second nature.

I would think McFadzean is a big doubt.

I prefer Dabo but I am comparing him to Kane's recent performances, which haven't been great. He had that purple patch where he was putting decent crosses in for fun, but that hasn't been the case of late. I think Dabo has more variation to his game.

Moore 7 (some decent saves but a few shaky moments) Dabo 8 (his acceleration from standing is a real asset) Rose 8 (covered McFadzean a couple of times, once preventing a clear chance for Sharp) McFadzean 7 (did okay) Clarke-Salter 8 (another goal saving interception and was solid) Maatsen...

Jamie Allen has to be the most underrated player. He was phenomenal today. Last 10 he was closing not only his man but also Hamer's.

What confidence does for a player. Maybe he feels intimidated by Robins?!

The mobility in the middle with Allen and Hamer has been superb. And they have linked well. I think Gyokeres and Godden could be a productive partnership too. Dabo makes a difference also with his acceleration and quick feet.

Allen and Hamer looking good but O'Hare cannot do anything right at the moment.

He [Allen] is 'anonymous' because he doesn't fall over every 5 minutes and doesn't give the ball away. He just keeps the ball moving, doesn't try wonder balls and covers a lot of ground to stop opponents from having time to pick a pass. Shame we don't have a few more anonymous players.

Story of the season. Could have been 3 up if we could finish and then a very poor goal conceded out of nothing. Hamer the stand out player. Think Waghorn needs to come off for O'Hare, if he is fit enough. Tavares on for Godden on 60 minutes too.

Not sure how Allen can be given the worst or near the worst rating. He was the only one who didn't give the ball away cheaply and chased down for 90 minutes.

There was noone near him and he has a neck worth two. He should be able to generate pace from that.

Awful miss with the header but perfectly weighted ball for Hamer goal. He looked more confident after that and had some good touches.

Robins must take a lot of responsibility for that defeat. Obviously doesn't trust his players to play the press without O'Hare. Allen and Maatsen are more than capable to do it.

If we had tactically played the first half as we have done the second, we may have had a chance.

That can be said for numerous Cov players coming back too soon after injury, only to break down.
