Default Halifax Ratings

Disappointing result and underwhelming turn out from fans after the Tranmere game and going top last week. Loads must have stayed in to watch the rugby.
Started very well and deservedly went in front, then spent the rest of the match in 2nd or 3rd gear waiting for the final whistle.

Dunn -7 rarely troubled.
Jennings- 6 Didn't seem to work as well with Deverdicks as he did last week.
Manny - 7 Decent ball carrying and reasonably solid defending against the uncomfortable attentions of Denton.
Pearson - 7 Decent game, Rarely troubled.
Roberts - 6 Decent first half, great cross for the goal and did well against the awkward No 7 - Faded in the second half.
Wedgebury. 7 Typical performance. If he could pass a ball he'd be in a higher league.
Kelly - 5 well below par. Didn't have any real influence on the game and his man of the match award only brought laughter from fans around me.
Devedicks.- 5 Anonymous for most of the game and part of the reason that Jennings had an indifferent afternoon.
Rutherford. - 6 As industrious as ever but didn't close down as well as he normally does. Had little effect in the second half.
Holroyd - 6.5 Some nice runs but seemed lost at times. Hesitated in the box late in the game when he should have shot and lost one of the better opportunities to snatch a win.
Boden - 7.5 My MOM. Great first half. Well taken goal and didn't put a pass wrong. Faded in the second half and his first bad pass came around the 70 minute mark. Did a lot of running into space to provide an outlet.

Quigley. - Disappointing 5. looked like he wasn't in control of his legs.
Franks. - 6 Probably gets a start next week as he looked lively. but that wasn't hard compared to the way we finished the game.

Overall a poor result and under par performance. Hope this is a blip and not the start of poor run of form. Need to bounce back at Sutton and Solihull with at least 4 points.

Ref didn't help. Very inconsistent and a visit to the opticians is a must. Don't think anyone around me in the MRS saw a red card for Rutherford and the confusion on the bench reinforced that. He let a lot of over physical challenges from Denton go unpunished especially when he led with his elbows.

We cannot afford to let poor teams off the hook. We hardly gave them a kick until we scored and then stood off and let them into the game.
