Given the quality over the rest of the pitch, having Cameron Belford Mark II in goal means we are effectively playing with 10. Almost every shot on goal results in a goal.

A 2-0 hugely flattered us, I can't remember us being any threat. The reality is we will never know, but on the balance of that game I would have been very surprised if we snatched a point.

No excuses really having been given the privilege of an overnight stay

Not a great performance….

My biggest gripe was we failed to manage the game after going 1 nil up. Tozer was far too lacklustre and the midfield failed to set any sort of tempo apart from a brief spell before halftime. Hossanah didn’t offer a lot going forward down the right. Thought Hayden and O Connor played reasonably well - TOC was a big improvement on Max. Again, I’m a bit lost with the Howard criticism. Was he really that bad? I thought generally he did quite well.

Disappointing performance but let’s not pretend we should be sidestepping every side we play… it was a big home game for them, they didn’t stop for 90mins and deserved a draw.

We will win nothing without a decent keeper. The defence clearly has no confidence in the present incumbent. If Rob L is some way off bring a top keeper in on loan.Sorry to say Mr Howard is not up to the job.

Palmer would have slotted home that winner if he had confidence in our keeper.

What a long day that was.

Howard 6 - Kept us in the game tbh. Lainton is undoubtedly better however Howard gets unfairly over criticised.
Hosannah 3 - As per McFadzean - sat back which made us a deep 5-32 rather than 3-5-2.
McFadzean 3 - He’s just poor isn’t he? A left back who can’t play LWB.
Tozer 3 - Hoofed it at every opportunity. Not as bad as everyone is saying though IMO.
Hayden 5- Won his duels however far too many panicked clearances straight to their CB.
O’Connor 3 - Don’t even know. He’s a mystery isn’t he? I don’t know where his best position is - saying that, it’s hard to judge a player who hasn’t played a run of games in nearly a year of being here.

Jones 3 - Anonymous in another away game. Shocker.
Davies 3 - See above. MUST start to grab games by the scruff of the neck. He’s 24 now so is old enough.
Young 4 - Best of the 3 but that doesn’t take much.

Dalby 3 - Hit the crossbar but really struggled. Hard to judge when he was on his own up top - Lee doesn’t work up front with Dalby. Start Dalby and Mullin on Tuesday.
Lee 4 - Glimpses of wuality but he just didn’t work up too with Dalby. No chemistry.

Tozer is far too relaxed, treats it like a kick around on the spider park.
