Ratings vs Halifax Town

[harrypothead]

Dibble 8 - another clean sheets not much to do and they hit the bar and post, but Dibbs did ok and his kicking lastnight was spot on.

Carrington 8 - filling in at the back, and hasn't put a foot wrong. No mistakes and mr dependable. Again, worked hard to keep that clean sheet.
Pearson 8 - was impressed last night as I thought it was the end of Pearson last week, where he looked so slow and didnt have much movement at all, however, last night he looked more like his old self and I was pleased to see him more mobile.
Kelleher 8 - played his part for the clean sheet, put his body on the line and made some good headers, tackles and blocks.

French 7 - he did well, he is more of a right sided defender than a wing back, but he kept their left side quiet all night and you can just see he is a good player.
Young 7 - mr consistent, did the hard work we demand from him and offered that bit of fight in the middle. The usual Luke Young.
Ruthers 7 - did ok, and offered us a bit more movement than Durrell offers. I know he gets a lot of stick, but his determination and pace could offer us somthing different going forward. Impressed with how he broke up play and always looked forward. Not someone who slows the game down, which makes the game so.much better to watch.
Davies 10 - 3 goals, hatrick hero, but what I likes from Jordan last night was more than the three goals. He made two cracking tackles of the highest quality last night and it was so good to watch. His passing, forward runs, what can I say, the lad did well. Hopefully he can crack on now and get that consistency to his game.
Reckord 7 - thought he did well on the left tonight, didnt have much chance to run at their full back but the reason for that was the tactics we play. Did his job well.

Gold 7 - offered us hight up top and he is a strong lad. Felt he was a bit slow off the ball, walking around a bit instead of being on his toes and making sure he was in a better position for when we won the ball back. He has just come in and I'm sure his game sharpness will get better. Loved the assist and happy with the rest of his game.
Angus 8 - always dangerous and took his goal well. He is the one striker that runs the channels and the lad is a very good signing.

Devonte - nice to see him back out on the pitch, and then he showed glimpses of what he can offer, the nutmeg and shot, the quality in his touch and one sharp pass that just showed that he has the quality. I just wish he was given more of a chance as he has so much ability.

Sang - came on, thought he was going through on goal but his tackle was a little hard and he got the yellow card. He looks quick and offers us that bit of pace if Angus comes off.

Overall, we did well and it was nice to see us score 4 goals away at a team who were above us in the league. It's not like we have gone out and thrashed a struggling team, we have gone to a playoff contender team and thrashed them. Not sure if the lads that have come in this week have given the lads a bit more competition moving forward or what, but all I can see from last night is we looked dangerous going forward and took our chances well. Could have easily been 5 or 6. Well done the players and a pat on the back for Keates and his team, let's hope he doesnt go back to defensive football anytime soon.

Gets stick for working hard and getting a job at B&Q to support his family. Says it all about those who have chosen to give him stick and take the piss out of him for those very reasons. They also take the piss out of Pearson for working during lockdown too.

Most know of Rutherford's shortcomings as a footballer but one thing he has never done in his 4 or 5 seasons at Wrexham is take the piss out of the fans like so many of his colleagues have done over the years.

Dibble (6) - Some important saves but still rooted to his line. Probably due to the first against Stockport.

Omotayo (6) - Much better display and a great assist for Angus’s goal. Needs to relax a bit more to be effective.

Davies (9) - Goals win prizes, and he got 3 crackers last night. But it’s also his work-rate and vision. With better players around him — so he doesn’t have to cover so much ground; and his being played further forward — he will become a future star.

The rest (7) — Everyone did their bit well.

A quick mention of Redmond, the lost forward. He showed some good touches last night and should be given more opportunity. A lesson to Jarvis — who is potentially as good as anyone: don’t give up, and take every opportunity you get to prove your worth.

PS I thought Summerfield pulled all their strings last night. Not a great team but, like a company that have just seen an intense fire-fight, they were shell-shocked cannon-fodder, not promotion winners.

Spot on, couldn't have put it better myself. The B and Q is particularly grim to see.

I thought the B and Q thing was a joke. I’m sure someone on here has or used to have a photo of him in a B and Q uniform on his avatar as well.

Nothing wrong with the avatar, it's light hearted fun rather than vitriolic mickey taking.

Not how I would see it

Ah so you think it's vitriolic? Each to their own I guess. Funny how it's only being brought up now.

Edit: by that I mean solely the avatar, not the unfair personal stick Rutherford has received.
