Be interested to see how these ratings compare to when we drew 0-0 with the mighty championship Birmingham last season in the FA cup with essentially what is almost the same team.
Thought rose was poor passing off getting sucked in and positional awareness was awful at times,Allen & Shipley played well as did McCallum,O’Hare had to score that chance it’s that simple but we should kf really had max or Baka on at that point who would of put that away,Sheaf MOTM just ahead of mcfadz whos Been the stand out player so far this season...
We should of won
I'm rating your rating system as a 4/10.Marosi 5 - comfortable at this level. Good distribution and a calming influence. Compare to Burge? Shudder.
Rose 5 - not his best game but not too bad
McFadz 7 - comfortable on the ball, headed everything that needed to be headed. Doing surprisingly well at this level considering he’s no spring chicken playing recent Prem strikers in the last three matches.
Hyam 5 - did the simple things well
Giles 6 - looked a threat going forward.
McCallum 8 - MOM for me. Some great tackling and a menace raiding forward. Who knew he’d be brilliant on the right? Clearly not Brandon Mason else he’d have said (unlucky pal).
Sheaf 5 - better.
Allen 4 - looks a bit lightweight at this level and is easily pushed off the ball. Surprised he stayed on.
Shipley 7 - when I watched him in L2 I thought he would be better suited to the National League. In L1 I thought him a L2 player playing above his station. In the Champ I saw him initially as a decent L1 player having a go. The last match or two he seems to have raised his game, filled out and not look out of his depth too much. He is now a Championship goal scorer and he gives it 100%. Fair play to the lad.
O'Hare 5 - not his day. A few touches of class but should have scored at least one. He might only be five foot two and a fag end but Robins needs to get him on header training.
Godden 5 - not his fault but our frontline of Allen, O’H and Godden isn’t exactly a battering ram. The opposition closing down with a prompt press results in us launching forward high balls invariably to Godden. He’s not a target man. Playing two of the aforementioned three along with a more muscular / direct player would open things up. We have Max, Walker, even Kastaneer (yep I’ve said it), Baka etc. That all three stayed on for the 90 seems strange but what do I know?
Kelly - 5 good to see him back. Assured. Calming.
Pask - 4 didn’t get into the game.
(My 1-10 ratings are where 5 is average, not f—in 7. It’s not soft school where people get a medal for coming last)
Overall, a point is ok. Could have done with throwing a menace on up from for the final 10.

I am old-school and follow the rating scales used in Match Magazine, when I used to buy it 35 or so years ago. So, I don't believe I am soft scoring, just a different way and opinion. 4/10 in any scale doesn't look fair imo unless someone couldn't be arsed.Marosi 5 - comfortable at this level. Good distribution and a calming influence. Compared to having Burge just over a year ago - amazing (excellent business if you ask me)
Rose 5 - not his best game but not too bad
McFadz 7 - comfortable on the ball, headed everything that needed to be headed. Doing surprisingly well at this level considering he’s no spring chicken playing recent Prem strikers in the last three matches.

Who are you & what have you done with the real cc84cov!? I agree with almost all of that!
Spot onIt’s silly to say Biamou or Bakayoko would have scored as they wouldn’t have been in that position - they never are
Interesting difference of opinion re Allen. I seem to be the odd one out. I felt he had the work rate of O'Hare but rarely lost the ball and broke up play really well. I really like O'Hare but I think he hasn't played well the last two games. You could see how Swansea got very tight to him apart from his headed chances. It would be really interesting to see a breakdown of comparable stats for passes completed, possession won and distance covered.Marosi - 6 - great distribution but I thought he looks a bit less confident in himself than last season, punched a few that I thought he maybe should’ve held but still a decent performance
defence - 6s, except for McCallum 7 - brilliant first game back, got the athleticism for this level, pace and strength we lack
Shipley - 6 - better showing I thought and class finish - he’s worth playing for his goal scoring alone! Still think he hasn’t settled down at this level yet, looks a bit nervous and gives possession up a lot, but I’m sure he can improve.
Sheaf - 8 - brilliant defensive work, saved us a couple of times, not much more you can ask from a holding mid. Tidy on the ball and progressive where he could be
Allen - 5 - Industrious and a good, technical player but I personally think his lack of strength and small stature is a real issue - causes him to lose possession frequently and was an issue for us tonight as it has been before
O’Hare - 6 - missed a big chance and a few things didn’t come off, but he’s always our main threat and creative force, works his socks off as a minimum as well - anything less than a 6 is harsh for me
Godden - 5 - didn’t get much up there tonight. Another one I think lacks the physicality to be at their best at this level. Technique, movement, finishing all there but he’s not strong enough and doesn’t have the pace which makes it hard
