cov 606 is dying a slow death it seems...so im gonna give SBT a go now:wave:
great display,best of the season imo even if we didnt manage to win,every one played their socks off for the shirt(v nice shirt too!) and i think most cov fans went home with a big smile on their faces
so nice to see 1 touch passing,1-2's,cross field pass,swithcing play to different flanks,through balls etc at the ricoh from us instead of the opposition!
as i said everyone played well,my ratings would be
quirke - 8 - kicking was suspect but he made 1 brilliant save from antonio and managed to keep a clean sheet in what must have been a nervy match for him,if he our westwood replacement? im not so sure but he did well today
hussey - 7 - usually he looks good in attack and suspect defending today was the opposite lol
crainie - 9 - didnt put a foot wrong
keough - 8 - solid altho lost the ball on some mauruding runs,cant do that as a CB rich! actually scrap that,we want attacking footy at the ricoh,mistakes wil happen,keep it up,hes our lucio/luiz!
clarke - 8 - i am not a hater,he needs to work on his game but today he was CLASS bar his reluctance to put a cross in or overlap the winger,but had a geat game othrwise.
clingan - 8 - runs the midfeild,only reason he doesnt get a 9 in my book is that hes so confident now that he was trying to pass out of his own defensive box when for once we really did need to hoof it! could have cost us a goal in anothr game,but bar that he was EXCELLENT and is really playing well
bell - 7 - out paced a reading defender in 93rd minute...oh yes! id like to see him attack defenders in corner more though
gunnarson - 9 - MOTM, a warrior performance fro our viking thor! if hes gonna play like this under thorn please sign the contract!
baker - 8 - lional messi at times, goals will come if he becomes a regular
juke - 7 - worked hard but not his day today,needs to be more clinical
king - 8 - always looks a threat,great hold up/link up play, unlucky not to have scored,please sign king! pleaseeeeeeeeee!
platt/wood - not enough time on pitch to rate
lets not forget people that reading are the hottest team in the league and needed point to clinch playoffs,and we out played them9they did look dangerous at times mind), some players fans wrote off are looking like match winners all of a sudden and im very excited for next season as for once i dont get the feeling that this is new manager honeymoon perioid, theres a new mentality at the ricoh next season and its ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!
PUSB! ANDY THORNE SKY BLUE ARMY!
