Players Marks: Shrewsbury v Charlton (closes Monday lunchtime)

Covered End

Blucher said:

Amos: 8: MOTM - misjudged one cross and gave the ball away with one daft, short goal kick but made a series of fine saves
Gunter: 4 - struggled and gave away a needless penalty. In terms of the bigger picture, he came late in as a free agent, has played continuously and clearly needs a break
Famewo: 7 - very impressive. Class allied to good physicality
Pearce: 7 - very solid and his organisational skills and leadership are important
Maatsen: 7 - a good performance, particularly going forward in the first half, when he was our only threat
Watson: 6.5 - the pick of a poor midfield, the blend of which was too one-paced and narrow
Forster-Caskey: 4 - slow and unimaginative, Some poor set-plays
Pratley: 5 - battled hard as usual but contributed nothing offensively. Even allowing for injuries, he and Watson certainly were not needed against a team who hadn't won in nine games
Gilbey: 4.5 - disappeared from the game and he is surely being played out of position out wide, rather than centrally. He's been out for a couple of months and we badly need him to fulfil some of the promise he showed in his first few games
Aneke: 5 - looked sluggish at the start and was outnumbered and well policed by their big central defenders. The crap service obviously didn't help
Washington: 4 - one really good piece of play just before half time but otherwise totally ineffectual. His movement can sometimes be good but I'm afraid he is a very limited player
Morgan: 5 - one nice through ball to Bogle but unable to influence the game. An unfortunate shank at the end - by which time there was mass panic in the ranks - but we should still have been able to deal with the situation
Referee: 7 - got all the significant decisions right

I don't think I've ever disagreed with Blucher.
He calls it exactly as I see it. (sorry Blucher :-)

Amos: 6.5
Gunter: 4 - couple of ropey games lately
Famewo: 6 Good to see him back.  Largely fine but partly at fault for their goal for letting the ball bounce.
Pearce: 6 Standard Pearce
Maatsen: 6 - Passing was pretty crap
Watson: 6
Forster-Caskey: 4 - I've never really got him.  I still don't.  
Pratley: 6
Gilbey: 5 Still very rusty but occasional flashes
Aneke: 5 
Washington: 5 Runs around a lot.  Not sure that's enough these days.
Morgan: 4 Concentrate on the basics and don't believe our hype.  So much potential but got to get the basics soted first.
Referee: 5 - Too bloody picky

Williams: n/a - Can't imagine this will do much for his confidence
Bogle: n/a - Jury still out for me.
Matthews: n/a Where's the Matthews we had before?

Too predictable.  Not enough pace.  Too many players whose first instinct is to pass backwards.

Amos: 8.5 Excellent goalkeeping with the exception of the crap short pass to Pearce 
Gunter: 4.0 Gone to pot at the moment, poor tackle for the pen
Famewo: 6.0 Good to have him back even on the wrong side. Good defending but some poor balls out of defence.
Pearce: 7.0 Good to have him back on the correct left side. Solid defending throughout 
Maatsen: 6.5 Solid game until the last 5 minutes where his clearances were lumped anywhere
Watson: 7.0 Done his job in front of the defence and got our goal.
Forster-Caskey: 4.0 Didn't make any impact on the game - didn't look interested
Pratley: 4.5 Seems to be off the pace of the game at the moment
Gilbey: 4.0 Didn't make any impact on the game - didn't look interested
Aneke: 5.0 Struggles when he starts a game, won a few headers but never went to CAFC players
Washington: 5.5 Works hard across the pitch but failed to make any real impact
Morgan: 5.5 Tried to make an impact but not his day. His yellow card could have been a red.
Referee: 7.0 One of the better league 1 refs
