Conor Coventry

I think part of the problem was that MT said he was a replacement for Barlaser when we signed him and many of us expected him to be a similar type of player.
He certainly wasn't that and he was workmanlike rather than skilful and his range of passing was quite limited. He had a definite tendency to look for the easy option.
He did improve in the last few games and was in the team on merit but personally I think we're going to need someone better next season.

An inexperienced midfielder who came to fill a role in for Barlaser, I doubt anyone with half a brain would’ve thought he was going to be the new Barlaser did they?

Barlaser also had his fair share of ineffective games

He also had a slow start when we first loaned him, maybe we should sign Coventry permanently and he then might be the new Barlaser

[Ronners]

Maybe

But that could be a low bar to jump over

Not sure about the low bar Grist, Connor Coventry was definitely no Barlaser, but for me anyway he did a great job of knitting together our defence, midfield and attack, and we had nobody else at the club who I believe was capable of doing the job he did and I would love to have him back on a season long loan or even permanent.
