M-B: 7 - one excellent save in the first half and a goalie who injects real confidence into our defence. We need to secure him on a long contract before it's too late Clare: 6.5 - did pretty well Inniss: 7 - solid Ness: 8: MoTM - outstanding anticipation and positional sense. He's invariably in the right place to see off danger and always appears to have time on the ball Kane: 7 - a decent start before it was curtailed. A really nice ball over the top to JRS in the first half Payne: 6 - a really good ball through to Campbell for the first goal but he and Fraser are a little too lightweight together and place too much weight on Dobbo Dobson: 6 - not at his best but never lets us down Fraser: 6 - a quieter game than of late but had to play deeper prior to Henry's introduction and, thereafter, we were protecting our lead R-S: 7 - some good moments of class and 7 league goals is a good return at this stage Leaburn: 6 - came in for some rough treatment all afternoon and dispensed some of his own Campbell: 7.5 - a lovely goal, a couple of sumptuous crosses and some able defending in the unfamiliar wing back role. So much better than Kirk and a player with a future at our club O'Connell: 7 - brings composure and additional leadership to the side Henry: 7 - showed his quality with some high quality set-pieces and raking passes to our front runners. Just needs to add some physicality to nail down a place in the side Bonne: 7 - looked lively and offered good movement up front Referee: 5 - irritating, especially when he had the temerity to speak to Maynard-Brewer about time wasting when the lad had only just received the ball. In contrast, Barnsley's keeper held onto the ball for about 15 seconds in the first half and the ref didn't bat an eyelid. Another in a long line of pedants, although his insistence in moving the ball 4 or 5 yards back for free kicks and offsides inured to our benefit when we were seeing the game out.
Clare: 6.5 dropped off last 20 but give his all I feel.
Inniss: 7 defended really well against a physical team.
Ness: 8 getting better and better..long may it continue.
Kane: 6.5 started off shaky but you can see he will be an asset. Hopefully injury isn't too bad.
Payne: 7 extra 0.5 for the assist. Got lost at times.
Dobson: 6 not his best but tbh he is probably knackered!
Fraser: 6.5 same as above but both guys dug in!
R-S: 7 menace to teams. Good poacher instinct for his goal.
Leaburn: 6 not his best but has played a fair amount of games on returning from injury. Still a shithouse of the highest order and I'm happy with that!
Campbell: 7.5 there number 2 must have been relieved to see him go to wing back and not on his shoulder once Kane came off. Good goal aswell.
O'Connell: 7 like this guy. Pleased he is back as he adds calmness to the back line!
Henry: 7 some cracking passes and dead balls. Holden clearly rates him and for good reason I think!
Bonne: 7 menace when playing off the shoulder. Got himself about aswell.
M-B: 8 - Good handling and a nice save. Clare: 6.5 - Did ok and had something to prove after initially being dropped. Inniss: 7.5 - Defended the box really well. Ness: 8 - Lots of crucial foot-ins and was calm on the ball. Better in the air than last week. Kane: 6 - Looked shaky early on (missed a clearance and got caught out positionally) but got better and hit some good balls. Payne: 6 - Looked out of touch and then produced a pass that set Campbell away for a goal. Dobson: 6 - A few mistakes but no shortage of effort. Fraser: 7 - Dug in well in the 2nd half after the 1st half seemed to pass him by. R-S: 7 - Worked very hard in both positions. Nice to see him get a goal. Leaburn: 6 - Lots of effort and physicality. Set the tone with the early elbow on their 6 and was involved in tussles thereafter. A couple of clever turns. Campbell: 8 - Nice goal (poor keeping) and I like his directness (a bit Alfie Doughty in that regard). Did very well to cope with the switch to LWB and no doubt his Stockport experience helped with that. O'Connell: 7 - Made us a lot more solid defending our box. Not his best but his presence was important. Henry: 7 - Looked good and seemed to spot an out ball really quickly. Bonne: 7 - Good running in behind and looked really lean/fit. He'll get caught offside a bit but he plays on the shoulder and that's what we have been lacking since Washington left. Referee: 5.5 - Lots of stop/start but there were a lot of pulls and pushes.
B-T: n/a Did ok at LWB and got us up the pitch twice late on, with powerful runs.
M-B: 8 Another great performance. He oozes confidence and I am sure the defence feel it too. Clare: 7 He was obviously tired, but did well, particularly as he thought he was going to be on the subs bench until close to KO. He is not a natural defender though. Inniss: 8 Solid in defence and unlucky not to get on the score sheet too Ness: 8.5 Excellent game. He is developing into a gem. Doesn't look out of place at all. Kane: 6 Looked decent, but is not a left back. Moved inside to his right foot all the time. Hope injury is not too bad. Payne: 6 Slightly frustrating. Ran around lots but not a lot of end product, other than the excellent assist with Campbell's goal. Dobson: 6 Looked tired and more missed tackles and passes than usual. He still dug deep though. Fraser: 7 Picked up the slack when Dobson was flagging. Not at his recent best, but another goof performance. R-S: 7 Very good game. Caused lots of problems. Deserved the goal. Leaburn: 6 Struggled, but not through lack of effort. Campbell: 8 Great game. The keeper will be disappointed with his goal, but great game all around and he deserved hi goal. O'Connell: 7.5 He looks so solid and assured. The whole defence is better when he plays. With a now fit O'Connell, perhaps three at the back is the way to go. Henry: 7 Did very well. Some decent set pieces and lots of effort. Bonne: 7 Unlucky not to score. Caused problems from the minute he came on. I think he will prove to be a good signing.
Referee: 4 Complete plonker. Tried his hardest to ruin the game. Too many stoppages and lots of weird decisions.
B-T: n/a Did well in his brief cameo.
Holden: I am really warming to Dean Holden and think he is a massive upgrade on Garner (who I never warmed to). He seems to have quickly worked out what changes were needed to get more out of the squad. So pleased he has stopped all that playing out from the back nonsense that we were just not suited to.
M-B: 7 couple of good saves and distribution was good Clare: 6 worked so hard but gave the ball away a lot Inniss: 7 commanding performance Ness: 8 really like the look of this lad Kane: 6 thought he looked rusty. Hope the injury isn't too bad Payne: 6 lively and always trying to make stuff happen Dobson: 7 not his greatest performance but 100% effort Fraser: 8 am warming to him over the last couple of games. Good all round midfield performance R-S: 7 always a threat Leaburn: 6 battled hard but didn't really have a sniff Campbell: 9 MOTM great goal, looked dangerous going forward and put a real shift in when moved to wingback O'Connell: 7 we look better defensively when he's around Henry: 7 looked composed when he came on. Good range of passing Bonne: 8 looked really eager to impress. Gave us another dimension when he came on Referee: 0 absolutely terrible as were both linesmen. Not bias to either team, just awful all round
M-B: 7.5 wanted him as our No.1 before we signed McG. Seeing now why Rob Elliott rated him so highly Clare: 6 not his best game at all, but hadn’t been expected to play until just before kick off. Inniss: 7 could so easily have had 2 goals. Looking better now he is actually expected to play Garnerball as though he were Beckenbauer. Ness: 8.5 how is this kid playing with such maturity. Has looked superb since he came in. One loose pass yesterday, but so impressed with him. Kane: 7.5 no nonsense debut. Did what he said he would and got stuck in. Hope that’s not a serious hamstring injury. Payne: 6 busy little player, but I feel he lowers our options when he plays. Dobson: 6 not his best game. Caught a few times on the ball and wasn’t really in it for a lot of the game. Understandable to have one poor game after all he’s done this season. Fraser: 8 really stepping up over the last few weeks and was excellent yesterday. Added a bit of defensive bite to his game too. R-S: 7 still causing problems for the opposition and in the right place for his goal. Really hope he is staying for the season. Leaburn: 7 got nothing from the ref with their centre-half all over him all game. Didn’t shirk though and will have done him good. Brought back memories of the Battle of the Bridge at one point when he got up and wanted to go after the defender. Dad would have been proud 😉 Campbell: 8 took his goal superbly and the slotted in at left back really well. Obviously not a defender, but stuck at it when needed. Got some lovely crosses in too. O'Connell: 6 pleased he’s back, but might struggle to get back in while Inniss is being sensible and the emergence of Ness. Great to have the choice though. Henry: 6 some good set pieces and I think he can offer more than Payne and Morgan. Bonne: 7 impressive 2nd debut. Put the runs in, got stuck in and unlucky with the shot that hit the post and fell for Jes. Referee: 5 thought he let them away with a lot of fouls, particularly on Leaburn.
M-B: 8 - excellent handling and commanding of his box and one very decent save Clare: 6,5 Some good an some not so good but can't fault his effort usually Inniss: 7.5 much improved now he's back to basics Ness: 9 MOTM Outstanding performance. Got in the way of pretty much everything. He reads the game surprisingly well given his lack of experience Kane: 7 Looked decent and hope its only a knock Payne: 6 Tenacious without much end result but played his part Dobson: 6 Surprisingly off-colour. Caught in possession a few times and just a bit off the pace. He's earned a few jaded performances given his outstanding contributions of late Fraser: 8 would have been MOTM if it weren't for Nessy. Civered a lot of ground and seemed to notice Dobbo wasn't quite on it so helped him out R-S: 7.5 Always looked threatening Leaburn: 6.5 Isolate sadly but occupied defenders as he was clearly tasked with doing Campbell: 7.5 Exciting and the goal will do him the world of good. Got back and covered well too O'Connell: 7.5 - Such an improvement on Lavelle Henry: 7 Contributed and some decent dead balls Bonne: 7 Good running, unlucky to hit the woodwork but looked eager Referee: 6 Not too bad actually
M-B: 8 Clare: 6 Inniss: 7 Ness: 7 Kane: 6 Payne: 6 Dobson: 6 Fraser: 7 R-S: 7 Leaburn: 6 Campbell: 8 as he also had to change sides of the pitch later in the game. O'Connell: 6 Henry: 7 Bonne: 6
