Ratings vs Aldershot

Jennings 6 - also incredibly poor 1st half. Had a decent 2nd half and most of the better attacks came from his side of the pitch. Some decent blocks also.
Pearson 6 - lost a lot of battles today, in the air and positionally
Smith 7 - best of the defence that was on the back foot for most of the game
Wedgebury 6 - bags of effort but guilty of giving the ball away cheaply too often
Kelly 6 - lost boy 1st half. Played a more active role 2nd
Deverdics 6 - not involved 1st half and not sure of his role. More involved later in the game
Franks 5 - not sure what he brought to the team? Rutherford should have come on at half time
Holroyd 6 - just about a 6.
Quigley 8 - goals and full of running. Easily MOM

I think an excellent verdict on the game. Quigley MOM as goals win (or in our case draw) games but credit to Dunn as some of his saves were as important as goals.

Kelly did not come into the game until 70 mins when the game was stretched more,kelly is totally out of his depth in this division,that is one of the reasons we can not dominate a game.

That would be great but I don't think we have a reserve team at the moment

Great point by J N D it's been a season long problem, not even sure it's the players, more like the way they are being set up to play. Yesterday only one shot on target in the first 45, didn't count in the second but surprised if it was many more.
Starting at the back, Pearson plays to deep, so when we go forward the midfield gets divided and out numbered,secondly we have now tried Rudders, Kelly, Holroyd, macreth, Frank's, deverdickhead, who have all failed on the flanks, as they don't get forward, maybe the midfield can't provide the balls?
Then look at the subs, what point is there in putting subs on with less than 20 minutes to go, macreth for example has got less than 5 minutes since returning from injury, most of the time playing out of possition either up front or central midfield. now we seem to be bringing in players that on the face of it are not as good as what we have, so rudders dropped to the bench in stead of Frank's or deverdickhead the lad must be deverstated which won't do much for team spirt, same could be said for Boden also. So do the management team actually know what they are doing,me are in free fall out of the play of spot, yet Keates favourites Jenno, Kelly, wedge can't put a foot wrong !
Rant over, except we were sh4t again yesterday.

Fairly accurate assessment imo.
Too early to be critical of Franks and Deverdics as they will need time to adjust to our style of play

I can't remember anything that Deverdics did really.

I saw that. The classic overrated midfield player “Pointer-style” as perfected by Ray Wilkins. It makes you look classy and imperious, a maestro in charge of events, when in fact you are doing nothing at all.

He is supposed to be deadly with free kicks , so why when we get one in range ,in the middle , did Jennings step up and hit it into their defensive wall?
