Thought Grimmer's passing and crossing was awful in that first half. Would mark him down, but then he scored a wonder goal.
Special mention to Doyle and Kelly, both of which I thought were great and also to Tom Bayliss who was excellent in that second half.
Worthy winners.
Kelly mom by a mile today. He’s been awesome second half of the season
Burge-7: Commanded his area well again, couldn't do anything about the goal and handled a couple of regulation shots.
Grimmer-8: Poor in general and probably a 5, but exposed by our formation with no real right midfielder in front of him, but then scored THAT goal, with his left foot as well!
Stokes-7: Defensively solid, as he has been since he came back into the side. Showed vital leadership and commitment, too.
Willis-9: WHAT a goal! Fantastic first touch, glorious bending finish. There aint many lower league defenders with technique like that! Also defended well.
Hyam-7: One slip that didn't come to anything anyway but otherwise solid.
Kelly-9: Dog of war, tackled strongly, closed down, re-cycled possession intelligently.
Dolye-9: Dog of war alongside Kelly, dictated play, led brilliantly, lifted the cup with passion. This is his club, he loves CCFC and the fans and is the leader we've been missing for the past few years.
Bayliss-8: Kept quiet by Exeter defence first half but still showed glimpses. Showed his class more second half with great work in the build up to Grimmer's goal and that glorious, hip-skanking, George Best-style run and shot.
Shipley-9: Deserved his goal, looked the man most likely to score first half with his runs into scoring positions, battled and made runs off the ball all game.
Biamou-6: Thought he struggled a bit today, Exeter defence had the measure of him.
McNulty-9: Fantastic movement off the ball and creativity despite not getting on the scoresheet himself. Two assists and influential throughout, deserved a goal himself for the his overall play but snatched at his shots as he admitted himself, otherwise it would have been a 10!
Clarke-Harris-7: Looked quite lively when he came on with one great run in particular.
Reid-7: Kept the ball intelligently.
Ponticelli-6: Buzzed around and closed down but didn't really get involved in his short time on the pitch.
Not quite as good a performance as the brilliant Notts C second leg, but that was possibly the best I've seen for 20 years, so hard to top! Still a great team performance with three Roy of the Rovers goals The 24 pass move in the first half leading to the shot was liquid football. Can't wait for next season now! This is a launchpad to go on to bigger and greater things.
Ten for everyone, including the sky blue army!
What was the final Coventry attendance out of 50,000 - thought we'd sold 37,500 by Saturday?
Grimmer was poor before and after his goalI’d just turned to my Dad and said “Grimmers having a poor game” the ten seconds later he scored. Thought he was poor before that.
