Burge - 0. A big fat zero for that moment of total stupidity.

Willis - 5

Martin - 5

Reda - 2 Abysmal. Error ridden throughout and he should never, ever have taken the penalty

Haynes - 6

JOB - 3. Abysmal. Think he did one good thing the entire game. His worst game for the club.

Finch - 6

Barton - 1. We have seen the best of Barton of late. Today we saw the worst. Drifted through the game on autopilot and never even got his shirt dirty.

Maddison - 8. MOTM by a country mil and then some

Jackson - 4.

Nouble - 5

Subs

Allsop - 6

McQuoid - 5

Tudgay - 2

In a nutshell, 2 of our best players (Reda and JOB were absolutely shocking), a couple of our players didn't even try to break sweat (Barton and Tudgay) and the rest just seemed rather clueless.

Think that is the first time I have ever remained seated for a City goal and merely gently applauded.

Worst of the worst today.

I thought Allsop made some good saves. Without him it could have been five or six.

Burge ............. 1 wasn't particularly good even before he got sent

Allsop ............. 5 made some decent saves late on but we were already 2 down

Haynes ........... 5 made a few good runs

Johnson........... 4 worst I have seen him play ..should not have taken the penalty

Martyn.............. 5. Just average

Willis ..............5 didn't do much wrong ..subbed for tactical reasons.

Finch ........... 5 didn't do much wrong but did not do anything exemplary..

Maddison ... 7 seemed to be the only one fighting for the shirt

Barton..... ... 3 back to his lazy best

Obrien......... 4 lots of bad passes .. Huffed and puffed .. But a bad day

Jackson.....4 not much service .. But he seems to lack pace

Nouble ... 5 seemed to be having an off day .. Even before tactical substitution

Tudgay.. 4 didn't get long on the pitch ...but he's been useless all season

Mcquiod ..5 put his foot in a tried to create ... But with no end product..

At the end of the day we played all of the second half with ten men ... But the first half with eleven was the worst I have seen them play for a long time...

Roll on Wednesday .. You all owe the fans big style

Pasted it in for you sbj.

2 incidents I noticed today that summed up attitudes of certain players.

1 in particular where Adam Barton made no attempt whatsoever to challenge for the ball, when he at least had a 60/40 chance of getting to the ball first and 1 where Jackson knocked the ball on and it was a 50/50 between Tudgay and their defender to latch on to the loose ball first and Tudgay didn't even make any attempt at all to try and get the ball.

We don't want players like that at our club. Tudgay has now been guilty of it on a number of occasions. If he's not going to break sweat he shouldn't even be in the squad.

Some lack of effort today was a disgrace.

ccfc_Tom · Nov 9, 2014

Burge - 1, hope he never wears the shirt again
willis - 4
Johnson - 2, shambolic performance, couldnt believe stepped up to take the pen after the game he was having
martin - 5 was ok but then it was against a non league side ,started to bring ball forward well in 2nd half
haynes - 4
o'brien - 2 awful performance, he tried and put a shift in but was terrible
maddison - 7 thought was good, won lots of free kicks and kept trying to keep ball going forward
barton - 4
finch - 4
jackson - 2 , terrible offered absolutely nothing

Can't believe he brought nouble off, someone who could hold the ball up and the only player we have who can make something out of nothing. Allsop actually pulled off a few quality saves in the second half. tudgay looked terrible but was expected. mcquoid played way too deep considering we were chasing the game. overall the worst performance I have ever seen from city, was an absolute disgrace, don't deserve paying this week

stupot07 · Nov 9, 2014

If you had taken a complete neutral who knew little about football and told them.

A) 1 team are full time professionals and get paid 2-4k per week, and play in third tier of football league and train every day.

B) the other team are semi professionals, they have full time jobs, in offices, on building sites, on the road, and they get paid £100-300 per game, they train 2 times a week and play in the 6th tier of the football.

It's not too hard to guess who they'd have though were the football league professionals...

Thing is, you get giant killings. It happens. Will always be the case, butI don't think I have ever seen a giant killing where the final score could have been so much greater and a team dominate so much. They could have easily won 4 or 5-1 today.

I have never ever witnessed that. It's usually a bad day at the office for the bigger team, but today was just disgraceful.

Completely agree. Usually they'll get one from a set piece against the run of play, or in a rare good spell but that was as dominant away team performance as the PNE game. They were dominating from kick off and well before the sending off.

LJC_CCFC · Nov 9, 2014

Cba with rating the whole team, I will make a few points about today however.

Maddison looked very comfortable on the ball as if he'd been playing the game for years, not a left winger mind, really came into the game when deployed through the middle.

Thought Aaron Martin made umpteen interceptions and vital tackles, very pleased to have him back.

Willis isn't technically good enough to play at right back, need Phillips starting asap.

Reda needs to concentrate on his defensive duties, tried to play far too much football for some unknown reason.

Finch sadly looks like 'Conor Thomas Mark II', at the very least his was well out of his depth. Allowing Geddes (Formerly of Walsall) to run the game after the red card.

From a tactical point of view I have to commend Worcester, who came with a game plan and executed it to perfection (Although the RC helped).

Knowing that we like to play the ball out from the back and try to play the 'Coventry way' they pressed us ridiculously high up the pitch especially in the first half, with their fullbacks starting positions much advanced from their actual back line.

As a result we just couldn't start attacks and the ball kept going back to Burge, which admittedly didn't do great things for the lads mentality.

What stemmed from that was lots of aimless long balls, mainly in the direction of Jackson who obviously got dominated by former Stoke and Burnley CB Wayne Thomas, who along with Geddes was their best player.

This leads me to the games turning point. As bad a performance as people believe it was, up until the RC neither team was creating anything of note.

Burge does what he does (although not sure how it's a pen as the ball wasn't in play) and they score the pen. This is where Pressley made a key mistake in taking off the physical presence of Nouble leaving 5ft nothing Jackson as our lone striker. Perhaps his thinking was that on the break his pace would be key, but there was nothing to suggest we'd be able to string passes together to then feed Jackson through balls.

Pressley's second mistake was not screaming his Jock balls off when Reda picked the ball up for the pen, having seen his wayward shot five minutes earlier even my brother said 'Er why the fuck does Reda have the ball in his hands'. That was our chance to secure a replay.

Overall it was a very bad day at the office for the players and Pressley, saying that we could and arguably should have got something out of it second half with the chances we had.

Instead of looking too deeply into this, we should move on and concentrate on the league (And acquiring a new cm) as, let's be honest the fa cup means nothing to us and I couldn't care less if we don't get a day out at Arsenal in the 3rd round.

People on Twitter etc are making it out as the worst day in our history, in the grand scheme of things it's a nothing game in terms of our season, get over it, move on, done. (Although if those who hold that view keep banging on and get Pressley the sack, that would be one positive from today)

One more thing, where were Fleck and Madine?

Fleck was suspended for 5 yellows and Madine wasn't given permission to play.

I think everyone was perplexed by Nouble coming off and Johnson taking the penalty, you don't have to be a genius to work it out. 5,000 Cov fans knew both decisions were wrong.

Pressley out, ballot for the 5000 to see who replaces him tbh.

Del Boy 82 · Nov 9, 2014

Today is a big wake up call to this club, a semi pro team come to the ricoh an put in a fantastic performance to complete a giant killing an they killed us completely. They played football an effectively too. This semi pro team showed how weak an poor this team is. Before burges sending off for a foolish kick out, they were dominating us. A so called team of pros an next stars of ccfc.

Well I don't want him out can't see anyone doing any better.

Just needs to have some support from our owners give him some money to bring in a couple of better players, and send back all the loanees that are not required and replace them with permanent players who might hopefully give a shit.

Rusty Trombone · Nov 9, 2014

I was surprised that Nouble came off, but he hadn't contributed to the game at all, so not a terrible decision as such. I thought Maddison had an average game by normal standards but was our best player in a poor team performance. I also would rate JOB higher than many have done, mainly for trying to keep the tempo up, and for continuing to find space to try and get some moves going.

When we beat Blackburn 4-1 at Ewood Park it wasn't far off.

I wasn't surprised nouble came off. Someone on the radio afterwards said it looked like he didn't want to be there, which I agree with.

Joy Division · Nov 10, 2014

Every player was poor yesterday with the exception of Maddison and to some extent Allsop.

But have to highlight Adam Barton. Absolutely shocking 'performance' from him and time for him to go after wasting his 3rd chance to prove himself with Pressley.

Just strolled around the pitch for most of the time he was there, don't think I actually saw him run one. There was a moment when a high ball was punted out from the Worcester keeper and dropped towards Barton, he had no opposition within 10/15 yards of him and instead of trying to control the ball he just let the ball drop onto his head and try and pass it off as a header. Problem was that the ball bounced off his head directly upwards, just laughable really. Just the fact that he had nobody anywhere near him.

Just the body language of him is all wrong, like he knows himself that he's not very good. I hate slagging off players on here but that was just abysmal.

Totally agree.

Never been a fan of his, but lately he had been playing well. Yesterday just reminded me why I don't rate the lad.

He was a disgrace to the shirt yesterday. Auto-piloted his way through the game as if on a training pitch and never even broke sweat.

I don't completely agree with this. His "style" is to be available for passes and to move the ball on. He isn't a tackler, we all know that. I lost count of the passes made to him yesterday that were a yard or two too far away that he couldn't get to.

Only once did I see a tackle on that he didn't try for, but I did see him make other tackles. He wasn't good, but he wasn't as bad as you and others make out.

JOB broke sweat, but was truly awful yesterday. If you prefer that then SP can pick me. I'd break sweat coming out the changing rooms and be just as useless. Once again Barton is a scapegoat when most of the team were worse than him.

Likewise the passes he made to our team were awful, for someone who is meant to 'move the ball on' you would have thought playing a short pass on the ground would be quite easy, but they were nearly all knee or chest high making it more difficult to control the ball and move the flow on.

Most of the team were NOT worse than him.

Adam Bartons attempts at headers have always been great comedic value, its pathetic a professional can make it as far as he has and still can't head a ball

I'm not talking about him tackling, I'm talking about him not going for a ball that was much nearer to him than to the opposition and him making no attempt whatsoever to even go for the ball. It wasn't even a tackling situation.

So, we have another Barton hater.

Burge - 0.

Willis - 5

Martin - 4 I am still to be convinced that this guy is a decent CH

Reda - 2

Haynes - 4 Thought he was poor throughout too

JOB - 3.

Finch - 6

Barton - 5

Maddison - 6. Equally as poor as the rest in the first half. Was our best player in the 2nd

Jackson - 4.

Nouble - 2

Subs

Allsop - 6

McQuoid - 5

Tudgay - 2

So, I have 7 of the team on worse scores, hence MY view that most of the team were worse than him

stupot07 · Nov 10, 2014

Not sure how anyone could rate our central midfield 5+ in a game in which a bunch of semi pros dominated the game and midfield for a good 70 mins. Barton was garbage, along with pretty much everyone else that started the game.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Nov 10, 2014

Pretty much all the team were awful apart from maybe Maddison and Allsop, you could make a good case for any other player on the pitch being the worst on Sunday. It's like arguing which turd was the smelliest.

Barton's proven over the past 2 years he isn't good enough, it isn't based on one poor game he had on Sunday and equally one good game he had last week didn't suddenly make him a good player
