Joe Whitworth – Exeter City
Whitworth started for Exeter City as the Grecians suffered a 4-0 home defeat to Rotherham United, a result that lifted the visitors out of the relegation zone.
Rotherham took control in the first half through Jamal Baptiste’s close-range finish and extended their lead early in the second period via captain Joe Rafferty. Harry Gray and Shaun McWilliams added further goals during a dominant second-half display.
Whitworth produced a full-stretch save early in the second half to deny the former City man from scoring, despite the difficult afternoon for Exeter.
The Grecians return to action against Mansfield Town on Saturday (February 7, 15:00 GMT).
Romain Esse – Coventry City
Esse featured for 56 minutes as Coventry City suffered a second consecutive defeat, with Queens Park Rangers coming from behind to claim all three points.
Josh Eccles had given the Sky Blues the lead early in the second half, but goals from Richard Kone and Nicolas Madsen turned the contest in QPR’s favour.
Esse was named on the bench following four changes by head coach Frank Lampard, before being introduced in the 35th minute after Ephron Mason-Clark was forced off injured.
It marked Esse’s fifth straight appearance since completing his loan move to Coventry.
