So Coventry weren't great but I thought that we looked far more fluid and cohesive than we normally do in similar cup games. Not too many stray passes and we played with a certain degree of purpose.
In terms of the fringe players...
Canos - OK so he got two goals and an assist but I thought that at times his decision making was poor and he chose the wrong ball. By no means a bad performance overall though.
Andreau - Involved without doing anything spectacular.
Thompson - My MOTM. Read the game well. Broke up play numerous times and played it simple. Would be good to see him against better opposition.
Maddison - Was a little disappointed, but I might have hyped him up a bit in my head. Had a fairly quiet game I thought although set pieces were fairly good as others have said. Good to see him stand up to Laffs who wanted to take a free kick in the 1st half.
Tofollo - At fault twice for the penalty (gave it away then did the foul) but otherwise seemed OK.
Godfrey - Had a certain swagger about him and wanted to take players on. Plus a great finish. Looked promising.
Muphlings - thought they both did well. Lovely turn from Josh to set up his chance where he hit the post.
Mulumbu - came on and charged around. Played a couple of bad passes but looked keen.
Laff - Took his goal well and worked hard. Won lots of flick ons. I think that it is well established that his non-selection is due to other factors than his performance during matches.
