Hamer - 8 - decent debut, did well when called upon Francis - 6.5 - a decent enough game from him, the odd comedy moment as usual Doherty - 7 - solid Mambo - 7 - even more solid Evina - 7.5 - quick, skilful and will be pushing Wiggins soon enough Green - 8 - dangerous throughout, although he's not going to give the right back much protection Hughes - 7 - honest and hardworking Pritchard - 8.5 - MOTM, pace, skill, relentless work - was he really signed from the non-league? Bover - 7.5 - very good debut, bit lightweight at times but caused them problems when on the ball Benson - 8 - looked sharp, ahead of Euell in my view Euell -7.5 - good to have him back, nicely taken goal Wagstaff - 8 - this boy is lightning, relentlessly hardworking, skillful and Reading couldn't handle him
Hamer 7.5 very good debut. Francis 7 variable. Doherty 7.5 Got better as game went on, injured. Mambo 7.5 very good home debut Evina 7.5 very good debut, improved as game went on. Green 8 Will be 83% great, and 17% exasperating.
Hughes 7 Well he was at least a presence. Pritchard 8 and shades my MOM. Very very good debut Bover 7.5 Ruby don't take your love to town. Benson 8 Much better than usual Euell 8 A really good 90 min shift Wagstaff 8 Excellent half, nigh on faultless.
Hamer - 8 Francis - 7 Doherty -7 Mambo - 8 Evina - 7.5 Green - 8.5 Hughes - 7 Pritchard - 8 Bover - 7.5 Benson - 7.5 Euell - 8 Wagstaff - 8 this should be his new position
Hamer 7 needs to be more commanding of his area few decent saves though Francis 6 frightens the life out of me.great crosses though Doherty 6.5 helped mambo bit slow for me though Mambo 7.5 great in the air improved drastically in a year Evina 7.5 great debut worked hard very quick Green 7.5 very clever player Hughes 7 looked edgey to start works hard though Pritchard 8 MOM excellent in both attack and defence Bover 7.5 great debut,needs to hit the weights but could be great Benson 7 good backup striker Euell 7.5 worked hard,glad he scored Wagstaff 7 good cameo looked very sharp
Hamer - 7.5; a couple of class saves that boosts him up from a 7. Good shift. Francis - 7; still looks tangibly a member from last season's team, but played quite well. Needs more passion! Doherty - 7; got rid safely. Quiet but did enough. Mambo - 8.5 and my MOM. Absolute beast. Headed everything that moved and had Manset in his pocket. Really good performance. Evina - 7.5; enterprising runs and decent enough defending. Excitingly quick. Green - 8; certainly will be a good player. A lot of ability and he showed it at times. Hughes - 7; captain 110% but let's face it, he's awful technically! Pritchard - 8; he's energetic and intelligent. Promising, and he's a more than useful option. Bover - 7.5; not ready physically but he's a good player. Intelligence and flair abundant. Benson - 7.5 on the basis he scored. Good link-up play, too. Euell - 7.5; same as Benno, really. Wagstaff - 7.5; industrious as always. He's an excellent athlete and that came out today.
Hamer - 7 - a couple of good blocks and a decent tip over. solid debut! Francis - 7 - a decent game, looked reasonably solid at the back and got forward on occassions , althought final back wasn't brilliant
Doherty - 7 - Ginger pele had a solid game, looked solid throughout Mambo - 7 - done well. no sign of nerves that have crept in in previous appearances. he's a big lad and could be a beast of a CB. work needed on his passing at times though
Evina - 7.5 - looked very good going forward and rreasonably solid in defence. be interesting to see how he performs against better opposition.
Green - 8.5 - looked lively throught, he's delivery will be a real asset this season. may be pushing waggy for that starting birth on sat.
Hughes - 6 - worked hard enough but his passing at time was poor and put team mates under pressure.
Pritchard - 8.5 - didn't look out of place at all. his passing was always spot on and he worked hard all game. if he keeps this up he could be a gem of signing.
Bover - 7 - looked very good on the ball. got caught in possession a couple of times, but when he had the ball you thought he could create something.
Benson - 8 - i really like benno. he works so hard, and if he's given service he will score!! i hope he doesn't leave
Euell -7 - took his goal well and later on in the game he showed some good touches. however he looked slightly off the pace in the first half
Wagstaff - 7 - worked hard and caused problem, as ever. maybe we don't need to sign a young quick striker, we could have one already.
Morrision - 6 - not really enough time to make a big impression
Hamer - 7 Few flaps but few quality stops Francis - 6.5 Does something good then something woeful Doherty - 7 Solid but slow Mambo - 8 Very impressive, he needs more game time and if he carries on, could be an option. Evina - 7.5 Really think he'll be pushing Wiggins for a place Green - 8.5 So exciting to watch. Won't always go right but some of his passing had me dribbling! Hughes - 7 Solid enough but nearly dropped a clanger that could have cost us. Pritchard - 8.5 Little man, big heart and a decent footballer. Impressive game. Bover - 6.5 Did ok but didn't have time he wanted on the ball. Loan move would be ideal. Benson - 7.5 Thought he did well and was a handful when on. Euell - 7 Worked hard but thought tonight showed how at best he'll be a sub. Love the guy but we need better. Wagstaff - 8 Was excellent off the bench and the cross for second goal was sublime.
Hamer 7 - Made a couple of decent saves - good debut - need to see more as slight doubt of his command of box.
Francis 8 - Very good game and won a few headers too!!! Not Solley's fault he is short but Francis does add something to the defence IMO. Did himself no harm at all.
Doherty 8 -Will head balls clear all day long -composed and comfortable
Mambo 8.5 - Thought he was bloody excellent -keep this up and he will be knocking on the door.
Evina 7 - Not sure defensively but good going forwards -very good.
Green 8.5 - Great delivery, abilty and competes. A key player for us this season.
Hughes 6.5 - Thought he improved as the game went on.
Pritchard 9 -MOTM This player is a real find - Despite our midfield being do strong he is knocking on the door big time.
Bover 6.5 -Could tell it was his first competetive match - possibly tried a bit too hard.
Benson 7.5 - Looked sharp and up for it
Euell 8- How can anybody say he was slightly off the pace? - missed good one on one chance but oozed class and touch was top drawer.
Wagstaff 7 - Looked lively -caused problems - ball in on occasions could have been better but a good game.
Hamer-7.5 Great save at the end of the 1st half, was good Francis-8 Good headers/tackles Doherty-7.5 Mambo-7.5 Evina-7.5 Better than what I've seen of Wiggins so far Green-7.5 Hughes-6.5 Same as Mutley he got better as the game went on Pritchard-8.5 Looks very good Bover-7 Alot of potential there Benson-8 Shame he got injured as he was doing brilliantly Euell-8 He's not past it by a long way Wagstaff-7 Good game, this boy keeps getting better and better imo
Imagine the team we would have put out if we made eleven changes last season!!! This 'reserve' team would be play off standard in League one. Pritchard a massive find- massive - Mambo showing that he might just be ready -terrific game - Francis was excellent, Euell looked a class apart, Green was quality and Hamewr looks a decent keeper. Deserved to win by a bigger margin.
Hamer 7.5. A fantastic save in the 1st half Francis 7.5 A couple of dodgy moments but coped well Doherty 7. Was carrying an injury for quite a while before he went off Mambo 8 Won just about everything thrown at him Evina 8 some great attacking runs Green 7.5. Some fantastic crosses but missed a sitter early on Hughes 6 The only player who made a umber of poor errors Pritchard 8.5 A superb all round performance and was unlucky not to score Bover 7.5 good performance and hit the woodwork just before cramp set in Benson 7 good performance but went off with a hand injury Euell 7.5 good hold up play Wagstaff 7.5 looked good up front
Hamer 8 I like him hope his number 1 on Saturday Francis 8 Doherty 7 Mambo 7 Evina 7 Green 8 Hughes 7 Pritchard 8 Bover 7 Benson 7 Euell 7 Wagstaff 8 I know he wouldnt agree but he would be a great sub to bring on every game
Extremely impressive display from our second eleven. We have a talented squad on this display. Hamer - 7.5 Made great saves either side of half time Francis 8.5 A different player from last season. Man of the match Doherty 7.5 Played well - Injured Mambo 8 Very solid display Evina 7.5 I would say he's better option than Wiggins Green 8 - nearly scored directly from two corners
Hughes 7.5 Ran his socks off. Impressive Pritchard 7 Looked a little lost at times but was composed when on the ball. Bover 7.5 Hit the bar. he's going to be a big star in the future . Benson 7.5 Out to prove a point until he got injured Euell 6.5 Not convinced he's a better option than Benson. Wagstaff 8 Very dangerous when he came on.
Some people are giving Hughes a higher rating than Francis. I don't see how Francis was worse than Hughes. I thought Hughes was shocking.
Francis was better than Hughes but how can you say Hughes was shocking? There wasn't a player in a red shirt who came close to be shocking.
I hold my hand up to that comment I made about him being shocking. A bit harsh to be fair. I wouldn't bench him over Francis though but I see why he is on the bench... same reason as why Euell is on the bench.
Hamer 8 - Some good saves, played well. Francis 8 - Very good. Got forward well and cleared the ball from under pressure. Doherty 7 - Did quite well. Looked shaky at the beginning but became better throughout. Mambo 8 - Was fantastic in the air and commanding too. Evina 7.5 - Fast and showed he can run with the ball well. He has a lot of power and some of his cross-field delivery was excellent. Green 8 - Was a constant threat and showed good delivery, but some of his play was quite wayward and he wanders around the pitch, completely exposing the RB. Hughes 4 - Absolutely awful. Tried a headed back-pass from nearly the half-way line that nearly cost us a goal, and constantly messed up. Works hard, but that's not good enough IMO. Pritchard 9 - Fantastic. That lob was superb and was very unlucky not to score from it. Commands well and looks very composed. Bover 7 - Showed flair and loads of skill, but faded quite a lot and didn't contribute too much. Wins loads of fouls and was unlucky not to score though. Benson 9 - I thought he was excellent before he went off. Scored, chased, tackled, showed a good first touch and his link-up play was impressive. Showed be on the bench ahead of Euell every day of the week. Euell 7 - Was quite off the pace and made errors. Glad to see him score, but he should've buried the one-on-one and wasn't very impressive. Wagstaff 7.5 - Made an instant impact with his pace and work-rate. His back-heels were brilliant (although completely accidental), but became a bit of a spectator in parts.
