Comments
Phillips: 7 - Couple good saves, a couple of heart in mouth moments. He is a very good shotstopper, this we know. It's the rest of his game that still needs work. But still, kept us in it a couple times.
Bauer: 7 - Back to his Bauer best.
Bielik: 6.5 - Faded a bit as the game went on but looks a tidy player with real class
Sarr: 6.5 - Gave away a couple of needless fouls, gave away a couple of fouls that weren't fouls, looked solid. When we get him on the ball his passing out of the back is one of our best forms of attack. Madden and Evans are two very good forwards for this league and he rarely looked particularly troubled.
Solly: 7 - Just doesn't get forward very much but defended well.
Page: 7 MOTM - Thought he defended really well and covered a lot of ground. On another day he might get a 7.5 but it just feels weird to give a number that high after such an insipid display. And also, his delivery really let him down at times.
Right, now that that's out of the way.
Marshall: 4 - Was there. Apparently. Unfortunately iFollow was frozen when he had a shot so I didn't get to see him do anything. He scored 10 goals the season before last. He looked a real threat taking players on. What happened?
Aribo: 5 - Went missing for large stretches. He is a very gifted player but he is still very raw. And because we have no creativity in midfield and our team gets really stretched the opposition are able to put two and three men on him and just mark him out of the match.
Pratley: 5 - A lot of running to nowhere really.
Taylor: 5.5 - Ran around a lot. I think we're seeing why he's spent so much time at Wimbledon and in the lower leagues. When he's good he's a real handful, but he doesn't have the natural technical ability or clinical finishing that would make him capable of playing at that level above. I might be being a bit harsh here, he also had absolutely no service.
Grant: 6 - He makes things happen with his pace and workrate. His decision making is still poor at times. But we look most likely to score when he's on or around the ball.
Vetokele: 6.5 - Looked very lively just didn't have any service. Looked fit and spry. Excited to have him back.
Lapslie: 6 - Smallest man on the pitch nearly scored a header from six yards out. Still think he should have come on for Pratley as Aribo is a matchwinner, but it is what it is.
Phillips: 6.5 One cracking save
Bauer: 7- Class. Makes everything look easy.
Bielik: 6- Time will tell. Not his biggest fan.
Sarr: 6- Clean sheet, but is an accident waiting to happen.
Solly: 6- Average.
Marshall: 5.5- Hard worker who doesn’t have the quality.
Aribo: 6- Not his best performance, playing too deep.
Pratley: 6- Solid but cannot create anything.
Page: 6- Marked down for giving the ball away in 93rd minute, which should have led to a Fleetwood goal.
Taylor: 6- Unless he’s putting the ball away doesn’t offer much.
Grant: 6.5- Lively and made some lovely runs.
Vetokele: 6- Nowhere near match fit.
Lapslie: 6- unlucky to not score at the end.

Grant: 5.5
Vetokele: 6
Phillips: 7.5 made the big save when he had to
Bauer: 6.5 a bit dicey at times
Bielik: 7 looks good as a DM and quite skilful, overplayed it a couple of times
Sarr: 7 plays a dangerous game sometimes but overall in credit for this showing and worked it wide really well. never a booking
Solly: 7.5 very much back to his old self I'd say
Marshall: 4 ugh no stop it. he's done as an attacking force
Aribo: 6 great when he could get hold of it, which was rarer than it should have been
Pratley: 6.5 for the shift he put in. not always so effective but he sure runs around a lot
Page: 7 dreadful error at the end but until then played pretty well and was our biggest threat
Taylor: 6 looked dangerous but couldn't quite get that clear opening (apart from in the first 30 seconds)
Grant: 6 didn't quite make it happen
Vetokele: 6 will ease into it
Lapslie: n/a
Bauer: 6.5 - Won most of his headers
Bielik: 7 - I like him, think he could do a job in the Championship but not good enough for Arsenal
Sarr: 7 - Having a good spell, I like him yet always makes your heart stop at times
Solly: 8 (MOTM) - What a stop when it was him v about four Fleetwood players... No where near finished as a player!!
Marshall: 4 - I've just got no words, I've given him a four out of generosity
Aribo: 6 - Needs to shoot more, does well with the ball but a bit too hesitant
Pratley: 7 - Surprised at how forward he played at times, did well in the middle
Page; 6 - His error at the end almost proved costly but did well otherwise
Taylor: 7 - Tried and is going to be a fan favourite
Grant: 7 - Dangerous going forward, maybe needs to be aware a bit more (as per the offside goal)
Vetokele: 6 - Looked lively and more importantly, looked interested
Lapslie: 6 - Didnt realise it was his header off the line, disappointed Marshall started ahead of him

Only difference is I would give the ref an 8 as he really didn’t annoy me at all which is a miracle in this league. Got in the way a couple of times and his early booking meant he had to give out a few more in a game that really was too anaemic to swerve them. For this level I thought he had a great game.

Phillips:6.5 A couple of good saves but distribution needs to be worked on.
Bauer: 7.5 Solid
Bielik: 8 Another excellent performance
Sarr: 6.5 Some sublime skill, then heart in the mouth mistakes. Could easily had a second yellow with persistent fouling.
Solly: 7 Worked hard
Marshall: 4 Is this the same man who played for Bradford? Ran around a lot but was on the periphery
Aribo: 6 Struggled at times today
Pratley: 6.5 A real grafter, needs some creativity to play alongside him
Page: 6 Steady, lost a mark for almost costing a goal towards the end.
Taylor: 6 Must be a right pain to play against, puts in a shift.
Grant: 5.5 Worked hard but didn't quite come off for him today
Vetokele: 6 For a first game after injury he did well. Once match fit he will be a handful alongside Taylor
Lapslie 6.5: Unlucky with the header off the line. I thought he did the block on their 4 man breakaway?

Referee: 6,5 - big improvement from Tuesdays ref
Phillips: 7 - not assuring all the time, but a couple of great saves
Bauer: 7 - commanded well
Bielik: 6,5 - looks promising, some bad decisions
Sarr: 6,5 - mainly good passes. strong and calm, sometimes too calm
Solly: 7,5 - great spirit
Marshall: 5 - invisible, not played in his best position but have to do more
Aribo: 6 - not the best defensively, and fail to take responsibility on the attack
Pratley: 8 - failed as a creator, but covered a lot of grass and for me he was our best player
Page: 7 - good attacking intentions, not a lot of luck
Taylor: 6 - not able to create much on his own
Grant: 6 - another quiet game, surprised he got 90 minutes again
Vetokele: 6 - hoped for more impact, will be a nice option
Lapslie: 5,5 - gave the ball away too easy a few times, before he got closest to scoring

Bauer: 6.5 looked untroubled
Bielik: 7 got the ball moving, great in the air, physically great
Sarr: 6.5 played the ball out nicely at times, needs to cut errors. A different referee might have sent him off.
Solly: 6.5 was getting forward more
Marshall: 5 contributed very little, runs about but without much of a brain as to where
Aribo: 6 not too bad but missed our best chance and distribution is too predictable (out wide)
Pratley: 6.5 worked hard but not incisive
Page: 6.5 got into attacking positions and put good crosses into the box, but dind't produce anything
Taylor: 6.5 worked hard and worked it into good positions, another frustrating game for him though as he got fouled a lot
Grant: 5.5 made good runs but didn't get on anything

Phillips:7 great save to save us at least a gargantuan point
Bauer:6.5 pretty solid
Bielik :6.5 not bad
Sarr: 6.5 like how he passes and drives forward at times;at other times my heart is in my mouth
Solly:6.5 showing some signs of the old Solly in defence ,not quite as effective going forward as he used to be
Marshall: 4 dont know why he started ,was not missed when he went off
Aribo:5.5 not at his best today but love this player
Pratley:6.5 worked hard but not the creative midfielder we so desparately need
Page:6 solid enough but error at the end nearly done us
Taylor:6 good long range shot in the first half,gets pushed about a lot but needs to keep battling rather than moaning
Grant:6 worked hard but final decision lets him down at times,absolutely leathered a ball to Narnia when needed to compose more
Vetokele:6 good to see him back,didnt get a lot of service but worked hard
Lapslie: 5.5 not bad but maybe would have kept Aribo on instead.
Bowyer:5 said on website that "we're getting better every game", Really???? Didnt agree with him selecting Marshall to start or taking Aribo off.
