Before the game against Coventry City we asked: “What 3 things to we need to do to beat Coventry City?

After the 4-2 win away at Coventry City in League Two, we asked: “What 3 things did we learn against Coventry City?

1. We can never write off Matt Rhead:

No goals in 16 games, and only 5 assists all season was not a great record in terms of headline numbers. Before the game in our ‘Three Things’ article, we suggested playing Rhead and Palmer together alongside Green, as it had almost become an either/or scenario. We may just have found our winning formula at exactly the right time of the season, as the big man popped up with the goal of the season and two assists.

2. Ollie Palmer is a better player than we realise:

Or, at least he is very effective. Palmer now has 11 goals for the season, which is a very decent return compared with the number of minutes he has been on the pitch. The vast majority of his goals have been of critical importance – see other thread for details. The cult hero epitomises the fighting spirit in the squad.

3. Ryan Allsop has been a terrific emergency signing:

Signed on deadline day, Allsop came to the club just in time to make his debut against the Chelsea Toddlers. He saved a vital penalty in the shoot-out from Jacob Maddox and has maintained the standard since then. How many goals can you say were his fault? The Wembley save from Omar Beckles was the best from a City keeper for many a year, and he repeated the feat last night. Wherever his future lies, he can return to Bournemouth knowing that he has played a full part in the Checkatrade win and our push for promotion.
