Listening to the game on BBC C&W, it seems that Chapman had a brilliant match.

Yup, Chapman was the stand out player today. Immensely difficult last 30 mins when we lost our shape and ability to keep the ball and they transformed from a pub team into Brazil circa 1970.

Who's off to Stevenage then?

Superb 3pts first half stanley were immense, second half we gave the ball away too much i thought, Chapman had a stormer, so did Everton, made a big difference i thought playing 2 up front. well done red men.

Kee had a nightmare. Everything went wrong for the poor lad today.

Great result, I think one win from playing these last two top teams is probably just about par for our promotion ambitions. Stevenage sound like they were thrashed today, hope we can carry some momentum through to Tuesday

Chapman had a good game which will have boosted his confidence. I can't understand why the throw ins were aimed at Billy who again was surrounded by big defenders, There were other options. We played well and deserved to go in at least two up. we were unlucky, Coventry were quick but did not make their chances count. They had some good players who will be disappointed they didn't get something from the game. If we can beat good teams like Coventry we should be at the top in promotion terms. When we see the dismal performance against Luton we are right to be very annoyed as we have the team that can get promotion. But well done for today's result. another 3 points. We are 4th, Luton won 7 -1. we can keep up and pass them. It is going to be a challenging season.

Chapman my MOTM today.
If he played like that every week there would be no issue.
Hope he can maintain it. Would like nothing more than to see him flourish here.

Mom close between chappers and big Ben, I'd give it to Ben given it was his first game back. A great 3 points we had to work hard under pressure for the entire 2nd half.

That was exactly what i said between those 2, Ben made some great last ditch tackles, but i woulda give to chappers, but no argument if Ben had got it, in fact no-one in the team had an off day i thought.
