Bit of an unsung hero last night was Cohen Bramall.
I haven't always been his biggest fan but his work rate, passing and bringing the ball out of defence in the second half was excellent.

New manager new players Matt Taylor did keep us up. Let's give him a chance and the team to gel.
A great 3points, 2world class saves from Viktor.What a performance second half, all the subs worked ,well done MT.We can’t afford to carry Appiah he’s no better than Green. My only worry is Nombe million pound player can’t get on as sub.On to the big one Sunday, 4-5-1 for me first half & see how we go.1-3 the Millers.
A few pick outs,one of hugill”s better games.viktor goes without saying.we are not going to hold onto on him for much longer,peltier did what he had to do.rathbone was more like himself.Cafu is just a pure step up in class….and the biggest point of all is confidence,just shows when they have confidence and belief that’s what they can achieve..we actually look a decent side when we click,sometimes in the first half especially it was just the final ball in and play the final third what lacked.
One unusual stat from yesterday was that Hugill didnt give away a foul! Hopefully, that is a sign of things to come and not a factor of Cov defenders or last nights ref.
First half Cov had too much space and played ball straight through middle more than most teams, Peltier was pushed to limits with some last ditch tackles and Morrison struggled. 2nd half when we went 352 meant spaces were tighter and Morrison could help control back line more.
Upfront with 433 Hugill was winning headers but no support from either winger. When we went 352, then Hugill had support from Fred. Plus meant it was opportunity to sub on Nombe or Kelly as neither of them would manage being lone striker like Hugill does.
Wonder which we'll try against Weds as they arent known for goals so will we start with 433 again, then swap to 352.
To add forgot about dexter,that lad is going to be a big hit further his in career..a lot better than BNC last year..
Also worth remembering rathbone is walking the Suspension tight rope..don’t know when the cut off is but I just hope he stays clear for next two games at least and then maybe he can get it off his back and take one if it hans relapsed by then..
2-0 win over Coventry who've made a habit of coming to NYS and walking off with 3 points in recent times - with one of our most depleted squads in years, cobbled together. Given the circumstances this is a superb result and great show of resilience and decent football. Kudos to every single one. UTM
