Didn't he justBiamou and davies were brill, aswell as mcnulty. Stokes had a mare - everyone else was solid.
Burge 6 handling decent but back to shite kicking
Grimmer 7 got forward well although final ball a little lacking at times but battled well
McDonald 6 not one of his better nights was very lucky not to be sent off and concede a penalty
Davies 8 very solid at the back
Stokes 5 very poor distribution and crossing was terrible, people have a go at Burge but Stokes was numero uno tonight for shit kicking
Shipley 7 good goal faded a lot but offers a decent outlet
Doyle 8 extra point for his goal never stopped running, not everyones favourite player but he is always barking and helping the kids out
Bayliss 8 kept running, is he a super kid? couple of great runs through midfield and he is only 18
DKE 6 involved in the first goal one of his slightly better games but still not great
Biamou 8 sponsors MOTM ran his heart out again great assist for the 3rd goal
McNulty 8 another good goal but fluffed a couple of other chances but kept battling until the end
Vincenti 6 slow as a dead slug but his long legs won the ball back a couple of times
Haynes 6 ran up and down a bit and hmmm thats all
Scores may be slightly higher than normal but thats what another 3 points in the bag does for you
Not the greatest performance after Saturdays FA cup game but win ugly is great sometimes
The last goal looked like a rehearsed training ground move to me (lol)Biamou - 8 - Worked really hard again and his all round play continues to improve as he grows into the target man role. Deserved his (somewhat fortunate) assist at the end..
I was a bit like this when I saw Doyle arriving in the box in the 92nd minute:The last goal looked like a rehearsed training ground move to me (lol)
I just think if Stokes and McDonald were so poor (that's half our back four), how did we defend so manfully and manage to keep them at bay for the most part?
Even though their number 9 had us chasing shadows at times, I thought we stuck at it, battled away and put in another pretty sterling rearguard effort.
Great stat on Bayliss 8 out of 10 not a surpriseThink that was the Cambridge team we expected, the leggy Coventry performance we expected and the result we didn't dare to hope for!
Burge - 6 - Couple of good saves and catches, some ropey kicking. Got his hand to the ball for their goal but can't decide if he should have done better with it
Stokes - 5 - Gave an awful lot of cheap ball away tonight. By far our best choice at left back still but not the player he was 2 seasons ago and can't put my finger on why.
McDonald - 5 - Given a torrid time by Ikpeazu and could have seen red and conceded a penalty on another day. Lost his man for their goal too I believe.
Davies - 7 - Does what Davies does and won a lot of balls in the air. Could also have conceded a penalty when he threw him himself in front of a shot
Grimmer - 6.5 - Got forward well in the first half and was always an outlet for Bayliss but faded in the 2nd as the defence got pinned back
Shipley - 7 - Looked livelier than recently for not starting on Saturday and took his goal excellently. His work rate up and down the wing is fantastic.
Doyle - 7 - He was knackered 2nd half and for a while after HT we stopped winning the 2nd balls and knockdowns but those old tired legs still popped up in the box in injury time to take the pressure off when it was needed. Hope he gets a couple of days of well deserved rest now.
Bayliss - 7.5 - Simply too good for this league. His ability to carry the ball is the real reason for our upturn in form as he changes the whole dynamic of our midfield. P10 Won 8 since he came into tte team.
DKE - 6.5 - Lot of surprise over his inclusion but it was a good decision from Robins in the end because he brought an energy into the team that would have otherwise been lacking.
McNulty - 8 - Another who looked knackered 2nd half and didn't have a great all round game but changed the game with 2 moments of brilliance - a great goal out of nothing and setting up Shipley with an excellent turn and cross
Biamou - 8 - Worked really hard again and his all round play continues to improve as he grows into the target man role. Deserved his (somewhat fortunate) assist at the end.
Vincenti - 6.5 - Worked hard, put himself about and his experience off the bench will be important in the run in
Robins - 8.5 - Leftfield selection of DKE proved a lot of people wrong and did well to get his team up for the game on the back of that cup win against a team who had just had 10 days rest.

Burge 7 - A good punch and some very decent saves, but he seriously needs to sort out his kicking otherwise he is going to gift another goal away real soon.
Grimmer 7.5 - Very good effort from him today and made some vital interceptions. Got forwards well too on occasions.
Davies 9 - Brilliant! My MOTM. Full of guts and bravery and held his own against the constant waves of Cambridge attacks
McDonald 6 - His poorest performance to date for me. He had a real battle on his hands and was second best for the most part. He did make some vital tackles and interceptions and blocks though.
Stokes 6 - Better going forwards than he was in defence. Given a torrid time on a few occasions.
DKE 6.5 - Started brightly in that first half, but faded out of the game after half time. He was clearly struggling with a hamstring injury though and was constantly grabbing his leg. Should have been subbed earlier.
Doyle 6.5 - Needs at least an extra half a point for the goal. Seemed to fade badly in the second 45 mins, so no idea where he summoned up the energy to get forwards for that 3rd goal.
Bayliss 7.5 - Majestic in that first half, but another one who tried badly as the game wore on. Still a very decent effort from the lad.
Shipley 7 - Played well in the first half, but was struggling into the second and was rightly taken off.
Biamou 7.5 - Worked tirelessly once again and showed some very good link up play
McNulty 7.5 - Same as Biamou. Worked his socks off and scored another excellent goal and could easily have had a couple more.
Vincenti 7 - I thought he looked decent when he came on.
Haynes n/a - Not on long enough to judge.
Yeah, I believe so. He was given a torrid time in defence, but at least for forwards on numerous occasions with overlaps and one two's between himself and Shipley.Stokes was better going forward? Unusually very poor game from him.
It likely is simply down to fatigue, I have always liked him but he doesn't exactly look a true athlete .Stokes started the season sluggishly, then had a spell where he came good and looked back to his old self, but now seems to have gone backwards a bit and looks like he is running through treacle (otherwise known as the Rioch pitch).
Glad someone is. I was very hopeful on him, but last time out for me he looked rather lightweight.It likely is simply down to fatigue, I have always liked him but he doesn't exactly look a true athlete .
As willing as they come but does need a rest now and then .
I'm as confident about Camwell as a footballer as I was about Bayliss.
